There is definitely a nutrient that can only be obtained from the sound of a perfect balanced straight six-cylinder engine.

[@kingster3835]

nice! A video about Bimmer 635CSI and length of video is preciesely 6:35 too :D
Awesome sounding car, m8
Thank you for those oldschool blast from the past!

I had the pleasure seeing one of these at Road America this summer. It was a 1984 Schnitzer with the Genuine BMW Parts livery

[@stefankremer2171]

Ein richtig, richtig tolles Video was mir ausgesprochen gut gefällt.:-))) Vielen, vielen Dank fürs zeigen.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Doesn't that JPS livery look fabulous.

Magique ;)

[@piakleros]

What a beautiful and sexy coupe!!!

[@Egreigious]

I thought the Group 2 (aka Group C in Australia) like the JPS liveried car was M88 powered & the later Group A (no flared arches) were M30B34? The engine shots of the JPS car has an M88 24 valve twin cam head. It’s hard to get info on what versions ran what engines. If anyone has info it’d be greatly appreciated!

[@jpsbmw4455]

This is the only one of the JPS built cars to run in both Australian Group C trim and Group A trim.

[@Egreigious]

⁠@@jpsbmw4455thanks for that, so that group C JPS in this vid has been retrospectively returned to group C/M88 spec? Are you aware as to why the Group A went to M30B34? I’m sure Group A rules required 500 road going versions to qualify for racing. I can’t imagine the justification of M635csi not being officially sold in Australia as the reason, as we had the Sierra RS500 & E30 M3 here in Group A and neither of those were sold in Australia? Just seems so odd they did not proceed with M88 into Group A, as M635csi production continued until 1988.

[@DasE30Cuz]

The best sounding BMW six cylinders only have one cam. Okay, plus the M88 and S38 too, but I really think the M50 and everything that came after just doesn't sound quite as good.

👊🕶

[@detailedbyben]

Yes JPS 635 definitely Australian Group C
