1980 BMW 6 Series 633 CSi Straight Six

Summary:

Engine seems respectable, and I appreciate the quality of the build, but hey, it's old

Faults:

Rust issues - driver's side door - metal around the hinge is separating due to rust/fatigue, and there are several less serious rust spots in wheel wells and around the edges of the engine bay. Leaks noted in boot - seal may need replacing.

Power windows inoperative. Power mirror motors weak.

Exhaust needs replacing - haven't driven the car due to this.

General Comments:

Not a huge fan, initially. I once owned a '72 3.0 coupe, and this car doesn't seem as nice. At this point, I'm hoping to sell it before it starts seeming like a good car to restore!

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
