In this barnfind episode Jonny Smith is up in North Yorkshire again, to dust off and pull out a unicorn 80s BMW 6-series coupe whose owner passed away last year. Parked up since 2001, has the M-Sport bodykitted manual car survived and will we hear it fire up?

Some clarification about the Penta wheels. There were several companies that made wheels in that style but only one company was called Penta, and they were based in the UK. Their wheels were called "Penta P1680/P1690" (80 = 8j, 90= 9j wide). The German wheels were made by ATS and were called "ATS AMG 5 Spokes". I've spent ages on forums trying to figure out who made them first, some people say that AMG asked Penta to make wheels due to increased demand, others said Penta copied the design on the Mercedes C111 prototype and that AMG asked ATS to make a version based on those. Either way, everyone started refering to all these different wheels as Pentas despite only the British ones having that name. The only difference between the two is that the spokes on the AMG wheels are slightly shorter with a thicker lip than the Pentas. Like I said, several other companies made versions of these wheels but people generally agree that the ones to have are either the genuine AMG wheels or the British made wheels that are actually called Pentas.

@wolz256 Год назад

Mine are Ronal R9s

@moalabs Год назад

Couple years ago I bought 628 in dolphin grey with similar bodykit on those ATSes (probably not Pentas as it was on continent and car was LHD). so maybe that was some sort factory option?

@pauledmonds3249 Год назад

Just wonderful. She lives and sounds great after all those years. It would be amazing to see this car bought and restored to it's former glory. What a series that would be. In 1986 my friend's Dad had a 635 CSI and i was lucky enough to go in the back a few times from Bradford to Ilkley over the moor road. To me as a 13 year old lad it was like a spaceship. Lovely lovely cars, and I'm a BMW nut to this day.

@protestagain Год назад

I was born not too far from the North Pole, and it can get very cold there, especially earlier. There had been a long cold spell, with below -40 for over a fortnight, then forty years ago. I was going to pick up a Volvo 343, yes, one with a CVT gearbox, and drive it 120 miles. But how to start it. No engine heater, nothing. I turned off everything that could possibly use electricity before trying. Started after the third attempt. No problem, and none of today's electric cars would have been able to do it. It's always exciting to start cars in the cold, or that haven't been driven for a very long time, that's why it's so exciting to see this series, if you get a start.

A good mate of my fathers had a 635 CSI in the early 80's, brown IIRC. The reg was 'CSI 635'; 'SI' was the Dublin City and County code, and 'C' was the year-he held out for 635 part. I remember being amazed by it, my old man had a Renault 25 around then-a tasty enough car at the time, but the BMW was in another league.

I was bitten twice by the BMW bug. I was in Pretoria Technikon in 2002, South Africa, and i lived in Res. There was a man who lived near the Res and he drove a black E28 M5 with a cream interior. It looked good and sounded great, he took care of it. On the way to town, from the Res, there was a scrapyard that had yellow 635 CSi and I was enthralled since then. It's been my dream to own either one... or both.

@garagefabroart Год назад

Great find! My first E24 was a 85 635Csi (US model) I was looking for an E28 but when I test drove the E24 I had to have it. This was 10+ years ago while they were still cheap. I later had to sell that car to pay for a move but I since purchased an 81 (E12 based) 633Csi and although the 635 was certainly more lively I prefer the simplicity and style of the early car. It bridges the gap to the E9 quite well actually. You can see a couple of shorts with my E24 on my channel.

Jonny, Harry and JayEmm are the UK triumvirate of motoring excellence on RU-vid. I’d be lost in the evenings without them.

why are these barn find episodes so compelling??? BM'er looked very 80's cool!

I can visualize myself driving that BMW 30 years ago playing Robert Palmer. ‘Addicted to love…’

I remember when I first worked in I.T. one of the local success stories guy had a 635 csi of this era I was so impressed!!!

This has quickly become one of my favorite automotive RU-vid channels. Thank you for the great content.

Absolute pleasure. Cheers for enjoying the channel.

I'm fortunate enough to have two of these cars, one a 635CSi and the other a 628CSi as well as a 745i turbo, all from the 80's. They are gorgeous cars.

Great to hear. This will be for sale next week.

Dream car BMW 635 CSI. I was posted to Germany in 1980. Couldn't afford the 6 but saved for the 323i. LINCOLN BMW allowed me to sit in a BMW 635 CSI in the same colour as the barn find car. In the showroom at Rheindahlen , the BMW salesman was so derogatory to me that I walked across the floor to the Audi stand and bought the showroom model. Audi 80 GLE in triple blue. Electric Ariel , alloy wheels, 2 rear fogs, tinted glass all round and 1000 DM worth of sound system. Price 18000 DM = £4050. Beautiful car. Long range 5th gear . 50MPG. Happy days. The BMW 323i base cost was around 23000DM.
