Hi all, it's a long time ago
Still found by my friend, whose Volkswagen Passat B2 FDV 579Y I showed you recently. It is in France, department of Calvados (14).
I need to have your opinion. Here is a 1982 BMW E24 which was abandoned in 2002. No information on the Mitsubishi Delica Mk2 aside.
Registered at 19 october 1982 in Luton (KX).
It is in manual gearbox (which is rarer than in automatic gearbox) and has a cylinder of 3453cc: it's a 635 CSi Mk1 with the old engine. From 1983, cylinder was reduced to 3430cc.
But I have a problem: indeed according to the DVLA this BMW is black. It could have been repainted, it's true, but the interior door jamb is gray. Furthermore, there are sticker stripes all over car body which is typical of M635 ... but which were produced only from 1984.
So, real 635 CSi disguised as M635 ? Or a 635 CSi registration used on a real M635 ? I don't know, but I think some here will be able to say more.
Thanks !
I am pretty sure that most E24s had those stripes; I owned two of them, both having the stripes. This is the B9 635Csi which I owned for 26 years, sold about 10 years ago for 50% more than I paid for it.

Not moved for over 10 years and has only 31k on the clock, the owner has turned down good money for this.

Thank you everyone ! I knew I would be informed. Based on VIN and with the information I found, this is a model that was only produced at 3767 units from 1982 to 1989. My friend told me that this BMW had a manual gearbox but it did is mistaken, it probably had to be partially or totally dismantled...
And now I know E24s with sticker stripes aren't always M's !!

My buddy just pulled this out of a swamp in Florida and brought it to me in North Carolina yesterday. No longer abandoned! In West Virginia now and should be home in 5 hours or so. Engine fire in 1988, parked on this trailer in a garage in Chicago until today when I went and reclaimed it The seller also had and Arnolt Bristol and a Formula Ford both in many many pieces but well out of my price range.

Austin A40 Sports abandoned by me during a house move in the early 1970s. What was I thinking?

Cor, there was a time my mate would have had that A40 Sports off you - he had 2 and a half of them at one point and we'd wander round the Beaulieu Autojumble with T-shirts on that asked for any parts etc. He's cut back to just the one near-concours runner now though

I know this feeling I abandoned a mk1 escort back in the late 80s when they were worth curse word all

I suppose the French had 404 Cop cars but that looks like a Rhodesian B-car
