RR of the Day: '84 BMW 633CSi

merry · 08-28-2008, 05:59 AM

Back in 1976, BMW sought to produce a coupe that would be the spiritual successor to the CS and CSLs of the previous decade. In doing so, the E24 6-series was born.

The bodies were originally produced by Karmann and came in two trim levels: 630CS and 633CSi. The latter came equipped with a 181 HP, 3.2-liter inline-six and this example from 1984 kicks off this week's RR of the Day, 80s edition.

This particular "Shark," as it's affectionately known in Bimmer-speak, has been put away for the winter and, aside from a lowered suspension and an M-spoiler, left in stock condition by its owner. The body is rust free and the mechanicals are in good enough shape to provide sunny-day amusement for Flickr member E24.

We're looking for more 80s-era goodness, so make sure to submit your own glam-rock blaring ride to our Flickr group by following the directions posted after the jump.

One of BMW's nicest ever. We sold our '84 633csi last year and I still miss it. The e92 reminds me somewhat of the size and proportions though, just with some updated features.

I had a 88 635csi for a year. Loved it and hope to get a euro or M6 sometime soon!

Not the sportiest things but man.. what great cruisers.

my dad just sold his 84' 633, and picked up a 2008 328i

the old car had 265,000 miles on it, still running the original clutch! the thing was built like a tank!
