An absolute beauty: this insanely beautifully executed 1984 BMW 628 CSi. The model code E24 refers to the first generation 6-series. This model is not only sporty as befits a BMW but is also known as BMW's first luxury GT.

OPTICAL
This example was tastefully put together by the first French owner and it shows: the beautiful paintwork in "Achat Grun" metallic (colour code 177), a beige leather interior and the optional rear spoiler and air conditioning. The distinctive French headlights, striping and Alpina rims (2022) complete the picture. After its many years of life in France, the BMW was exported to Belgium in 2017 and imported to the Netherlands in 2022. As far as we have been able to assess, the car has been damage-free and free of welding. The car has remained beautifully preserved in the French climate. The paintwork is in beautiful condition with no significant scratches or dents. There is a slight crack in the direction indicator at the left rear. The rubbers are in good condition and have not dried out. Chrome work is also in good condition. Windows and lights are still fresh. Especially at the front, a polish could perfect the chrome work.

INTERIOR
The interior is in overall good condition with no (significant) damage. The beige leather upholstery is free of cracks and is not torn. The floor mats are also in good condition. The BMW is richly equipped, including air conditioning, power windows (front and rear) and a radio/CD player. The large boot is dry and is also in good condition.

TECHNICAL
Extensive maintenance of more than EUR 4000 has been carried out since then, the documentation of which is present. For instance, at a mileage of 229,308 kilometres, a service was carried out in which the cylinder heads were repaired in addition to the engine oil and oil filter changes. Also replaced were the head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, wishbones, track rod, radiator, wiper blades, shock absorbers, front and rear springs, air filter, spark plugs, bulbs in the rear lights and the complete exhaust. In addition, the car has been aligned. A purchase invoice from 2022 worth €1,350 is present of the 4 Alpina rims and tyres. In 2023, the alternator and counter clock were overhauled. The original delivery and instruction booklet are present with the car, as well as maintenance invoices dating back to its time in France. The engine compartment is nicely dry and the car drives well. The 2.8-litre 6-cylinder engine combined with the 5-speed manual transmission makes driving great. The car starts, drives and shifts well. With an MOT until 2026, this car is ready for years of driving pleasure. An increasingly popular vintage car making it an interesting investment financially too.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The E24 was produced from 1976 to 1989 and was the successor to the E9 (2800 CS, 3.0 CS). It is a luxury 4-seater coupe that came with several 6-cylinder engines. The 628 CSi featured a 2.8-litre injection engine with 184 hp. Thanks to its relatively low centre of gravity and low weight (1,390 KG), the car is known for its fine handling. In 1982, the E24 was facelifted with technical and optical improvements. The facelift version is also considerably less prone to rust. Its handsome design is distinctive and, thanks to its sloping front end, the model is also known as the ‘Shark’. An original is increasingly scarce and popular these days.
