1986 BMW 6 Series 635 review from UK and Ireland
"Pure luxury and style. Just make sure you find a good one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor and rotor arm has been replaced.
One of the tires blew out at 70mph.
Both front wings have been repaired/replaced.
General comments?
The car is very solid feels very well built and is, in my opinion, the last BMW with shape. It's also very fast. I suppose it's relatively expensive to keep and run (especially when comparing to my previous car) but it gives me a lot of pleasure so them's the brakes.
Rust was a big problem, the two front wings are often weak points with these cars. I had them repaired/replaced at a great cost.
It uses metric tires which are insanely expensive.
The car is also deceptively long. It's as long as my friend's 4-door Jaguar. It sometimes feels unwieldy and cumbersome.
Apart from that, it looks gorgeous and it drives and handles beautifully.
