he has been very ill and medical ate up funds. It runs very well mechanically its almost good as new. The paint and interior needs quite a bit of work still.

Beautiful colour!

Careful not to leave your handbag there (smash and Grabbers on the prowl) :=):

:thumbs:I like the 635i have a 535i completely stripped for spares.My dad has a 1982 535i which is going to be restored...good luck

Lovely cars, both of them. Your dad's 6 looks pretty good, perfect for a restoration job. I see it's a pre-82 model, therefore many parts are common with the e12 5 Series. Go to the scrapyards and collect trim parts, they are becoming scarce, and many BMW no longer stocks. :thumbs:

Awesome cars :=):

Welcome to the e46 330i individual club :rollsmile: :wave:

thanks for the tip its a 82. what doesn't make cense its got M badges all over. And according to research M's only came in 83 in euro. This car was imported from Germany all the labels and switches are in German. As you can see its a LHD with dog leg first. Also the cluster doesn't have the econo meter apparently only M's came without. Please advise.

Awesome cars! :thumbs:

Your 330i is a stunning and somewhat rare colour!! :inlove:

Thanks for that I saw one driving once and started looking until I found that color.

Was very keen to buy a 325i Motorsport in this colour for my Wife earlier this year, but the advert that I saw on Gumtree at the time which has it listed under the Western Cape as in the Welgemoed area - turned out it wasn't in the Western Cape at all, it was in Welgemoet further inland! Then the advert expired... Have only seen a handful of E46's in this colour! :thumbs:

Wish I could help, but my knowledge on the e24 is not quite expert level. The car must be an early '82 as that would be one of the last e12-based versions, I picked this up from the dash in your interior pic. I think your research is correct regarding the M badges, and that they were most probably retro fitted by the previous owner. Sorry, but cannot confirm the econo meter story, I just don't know. Hang on to that dogleg box, they are rare and expensive. Although a bit notchy, they are great, I have one in my MLE.

 

[Sankekur]

There is actually a guy that lives lower down in our street that has a 330d in this colour. These individual colours really need to be admired close-up to be able to appreciate them fully, pics usually don't do it justice.

First one that I saw in the flesh so to speak was at this past breakfast run - camera can't really capture the colour and light effects...

:ty::ty: There is a 318 close to us but shocking every panel is just about dented wish I could swap there 18's for my 17's. Its the limited ones came on the last E46 individuals.

 

[Raybimmer]

Did 635i have 3453 or 3430 cc 12 valve motor and M635i have 3453cc 24 valve motor ?
Some 24 valve were badged M635CSi as well , had 286 hp . Same motor as our 745i as raced by the late Tony Viana .

You mean these?

Style 135's came out as an option on the 2005 model e46 individuals, also would mind having them.

 

[Henry330i]
