Re: Help on the E24!!! (archive)

Most of the mechanicals on the M635 are the same as the M6; the major difference is in the intake and exhaust...not items that "break" frequently. The M88 head is different than on the S38 engine, but tuning both engines is the same, for the most part. In fact, the M635 is going to be more reliable since it has fewer gadgets that can break. It's basically a semi-Lightweight version of the M6, sort of like the 3.0csi.

One word of warning. If you live in a state that has stringent emissions, then make sure that any M635 that you are looking at has complete EPA/DOT paperwork. You may also need that paperwork in order to get the car insured.

: : I haven't driven the 635 but I own and daily drive a M6. It is a truly great car. Fantastic engine (which you cannot recreate with the 635) and super handling. Very comfortable and classy interior. My (biased)opinion: go for the M6.

:
: Wow! Already 2 to 1 in favor for the M6 and 0 and 3 for the 635! No surprise, I should of known better to ask a bunch of BMW fanatics! Great feedback and I'll check out the M635.

: What's the deal on the M635? I imagine they are all grey market rides and a challenge to find good support. Anybody think differently?
