1987 BMW L6 coupe! Only made in 1987! This is probably the nicest example of a L6 that was not stored at 50 miles and hasn’t been driven since! This car has had its miles gradually put on throughout its life. Car was originally bought in CO, and it then moved with its owner to Kansas City. Car was never driven in fowl weather, and was cared for like no other! This car would be considered great looking if it was one year old! Cars driveline is solid! Body panels are original with all VIN stickers including the one on the motor! All options on the car work, and do so well. Interior and exterior are in need of nothing! The only thing that would need to happen to make her perfect is to address the dash, as you can see in the photos it has loosened up near the vents. If you are unfamiliar with the L6 it is a 635cis with a lot more leather and luxury appointments!
Engine
The 635CSi has an in-line engine with a displacement of 210.7 cubic inches and six cylinders, each with a bore, or diameter, of 3.7 inches. The stroke -- the distance the pistons travel within the cylinders -- is 3.3 inches. The compression ratio (the cylinder head volume in relation to the piston volume before and after a stroke) is 10-to-1. By the final year of its production, the 635CSi's displacement had decreased marginally to 209.3 cubic inches and the compression ratio had decreased to 9-to-1.
Performance
The BMW 635CSi produces a maximum 224 foot-pounds of torque 4,000 rpm. Up to 215 brake horsepower is generated at 5,200 rpm. From every cubic inch of displacement, 1.01 brake horsepower is derived. The brake mean effective pressure (BMEP), meaning the power output from the pressure put on the pistons in a stroke, is 160.5 pounds per square inch. A five-speed transmission sends this power to the rear-wheel drive, allowing the 635CSi to achieve a top speed of 140 mph. It can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds. When it was discontinued in 1989, it had a weaker 208 horsepower but an improved 5,700 rpm. The torque also had improved slightly to 225 foot-pounds at 4,000 rpm.
The BMW 635CSi has a dry weight of 3,309 pounds. Its fuel tank has an 18.5-gallon capacity. The chassis sits atop a 103.3-inch wheelbase and measures 187.2 inches long, 69 inches wide and 54.5 inches high. The ground clearance is 5.5 inches. Both the front and back wheels are 14 inches in diameter.
Steering, Brakes and Suspension
Re-circulated ball steering, which places steel balls between a gear and a nut to transfer steering movements, helps the BMW achieve a 12.3-yard turning diameter. Independent front suspension consisting of coil springs absorbs the bumps in the road, together with a rear independent suspension, also consisting of coil springs. The front has 1.1-inch ventilated disc brakes and servo-assisted, ventilated disc brakes of the same size are on the rear.
