1986 BMW E24 635CSi | Crawley, West Sussex

The BMW 635CSi is the six-cylinder grand-touring coupé of the 6 Series, known for its long, shark-nosed bonnet and a comfortable, sporting manner. Its fuel-injected 3.5-litre straight-six gives it a smooth, unhurried character. This car is black with a black interior, a dark scheme that gives the long bonnet and slim pillars a clean outline. It has an automatic gearbox, so it pulls away smoothly, which helps with slow arrivals and rolling shots. The cabin has room for four. The period shape suits 1980s film and TV, music videos and advertising, where the long, low profile reads clearly in frame. Black paintwork picks up reflections and city light, which works for photography and fashion or editorial shoots. It makes a graceful coupé for a wedding too. The car is based in Crawley, West Sussex.
