I really don’t understand the classic car market these days. People want $100K for an old Ford Bronco truck that is not fetching or sporty styled in the least sense, way too nice to go off-roading, but drives like crap on the road (short wheelbase, terrible ergonomics, truck suspension)…it is the worst example of restomod […]
This next seller submitted BMW 635CSi is not your average garage queen — it’s a Cinnabar Red E24 coupe with a story to tell and a spicy S38-powered past. Now sporting a well-sorted M30B32 drivetrain paired with a Getrag 265 5-speed, this low-mileage shark (just under 74k) has seen a thoughtful blend of OEM+ upgrades […]
Don’t do it. As someone who recently brought back to life a late 80s Mercedes-Benz and is struggling with a mysterious warm idle stumbling issue…DON’T DO IT. This car will drain your bank accounts and weekends if you do your own maintenance, forget taking it to a mechanic or dealer. Just give up and go […]
The e24 BMW 6-series was a Paul Bracq-styled replacement to the aging CS and CSL coupes, with over 86,000 produced for worldwide consumption from 1976 through 1989. The BMW E24 6-series is one of those ‘in-betweener’ 80s classics; it isn’t quite a collectible classic, but unrestored examples aren’t a bad way to get into a […]
The shark nose e24 generation BMW is another beautiful classic coupe designed by Paul Bracq.

This next car comes with an interesting concept from tipper Cory who writes: 2 part submission – buy parts to find a car. BMW 635 + Callaway Turbo Kit = Something noteworthy. The 635csi is a sweet looking car and putting a legit period correct Callaway turbo kit on it would be totally boss. Find […]
The E24 generation BMW 6 Series was a grand luxury tourer sold from 1976 through 1989. Its shapely shark style curves were penned by legendary designer Paul Bracq and prices have been reasonable for years. It is difficult to judge the condition of this next car based on the strange photos, but if it runs […]
Frenchman Paul Bracq designed many great cars…but few are as affordable for the level of awesomeness as the E24 generation BMW 6-series. You get a big inline-6 in a sporty personal luxury coupe for the price of a piece of junk 15 year old minivan with 150k miles. I’m not saying this car is a good deal, no…I’m shouting at the top of my lungs that it is a STEAL! Find this 1981 BMW 633CSi offered for $8900 in Sacramento, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck. Happy Bracq Friday!
This example of the first generation of the BMW 6 Series grand tourer coupé appears to be free of major blemishes and should provide years of smiles.
