Supplied new by Stocks BMW of Ipswich and first registered in September 1989, this UK-delivered M635 CSi Highline is a well-preserved and highly original example, presented in Cirrus Blue Metallic over a Lotus White ‘Highline’ Nappa leather interior.
With just 23,520 miles from new, this example retains its original panels and matching numbers drivetrain, with the majority of its paintwork remaining factory original, confirmed by detailed micrometer readings.
Previously owned by Barney of Classic Heroes, a respected name in BMW collector circles, and more recently part of the private collection of Jay Kay, frontman of Jamiroquai and a known enthusiast of rare, original performance cars.
The car sits on a brand-new set of 17” Alpina alloy wheels, sourced specifically for this vehicle after an extended search. These are correct-specification and exceptionally hard to find, making them a noteworthy inclusion given the rarity and cost involved.
The cabin presents in excellent order, retaining all original trim finishes and interior details, including the BMW glovebox torch and factory tool kit. The stereo has been upgraded with a period-correct Blaupunkt Bremen SQR 46 unit, now featuring discreet DAB and modern functionality.
A standout example of BMW’s flagship E24 coupe, offering true collector-grade originality, low mileage, known provenance and a specification that would be near impossible to replicate today.
