The seller offers for sale this 1984 BMW 633 CSi, a luxury coupe that stands as part of BMW’s celebrated 6 Series lineage. This particular example is powered by a 3,300 cc straight-six petrol engine mated to an automatic transmission, a configuration that balances smooth power delivery with refined cruising capabilities. The car has travelled 200,000 km, a figure which the seller confirms as accurate.
Imported originally from the United States via Poland, the car has undergone a restoration over the past two years in Greece. This work included an engine service, replacement of the fuel tank, pumps, and all fluid and hose systems. The suspension has been renewed, and new disc brakes have been fitted. The power steering system has been serviced, ensuring responsive handling suitable for both city driving and longer journeys. Despite having US specifications, the car retains the European elegance and proportions that define the E24 chassis.
The exterior condition is reported as very good, having been repainted in the original BMW colour code just a year ago. The car has been stored indoors and has not been driven in the rain since the respray. Plastic grills and other external trim pieces have been refreshed in original black, while the rear lenses have been cleaned and repainted to maintain clarity and correct appearance. No rust is reported either on the bodywork or underneath the car. Overall, the car presents as visually appealing and true to its factory aesthetics.
The interior condition is also described as very good, with comprehensive restoration undertaken. The dashboard has been professionally removed, repaired for cracks and scratches, and repainted, restoring it to a clean and uniform appearance. The headliner has been replaced with leather, contributing to an upscale atmosphere inside the cabin. The black leather seats and the original equipment show no signs of damage or significant wear. Door panels remain in strong original condition. All interior electrical components, including the on-board computer, check engine panel, power windows, power mirrors, and sunroof, are noted as functioning properly.
Technically, the BMW is described as mechanically sound. The automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and essential systems like lighting, indicators, and brake lights are confirmed to work correctly. The vehicle possesses a valid inspection certificate. No history of accident damage or repairs has been reported, and the car does not display any evidence of rust. It stands as a vehicle ready for immediate use, requiring no urgent mechanical attention.
The BMW 6 Series E24, introduced in 1976, established itself as one of BMW’s most stylish and desirable grand tourers. Its distinctive shark-nose front end, long hood, and sweeping roofline gave it a commanding presence, setting it apart from more conservative sedans. The E24 was engineered to blend performance with refinement, aiming at buyers seeking a sports coupe experience without sacrificing comfort. The 633 CSi, introduced as a mid-level model, offered ample performance from its 3.3-litre inline-six engine. The car was equipped with Bosch fuel injection, providing better efficiency and smoother power delivery compared to earlier carbureted engines.
The interior of the E24 series was a hallmark of BMW’s approach to driver-focused design. Ergonomics were prioritized, with instruments and controls angled towards the driver, creating a cockpit-like feel. Luxurious touches, such as quality leather upholstery, fine trim materials, and advanced (for the time) features like on-board computers and electronic check panels, reflected BMW’s commitment to blending sportiness with comfort. The E24 was also one of the earliest BMW models to feature significant electronics integration, signalling the brand’s transition into a more technology-driven era.
In the US market, the E24 was initially marketed to compete with high-end coupes from Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar. Its combination of refined styling, solid engineering, and engaging driving dynamics contributed to its popularity. Despite being more expensive than many rivals, the 6 Series gained a reputation for quality and durability. Owners appreciated its balance of performance and comfort, making it equally suitable for spirited drives and long-distance touring.
Over the years, the E24 has grown in esteem among collectors. Its values have steadily increased as enthusiasts recognise its significance in BMW’s history. While some models, such as the M635CSi, command high premiums due to performance and rarity, the 633 CSi offers an accessible entry into the 6 Series experience. The 633 CSi delivers a satisfying driving experience, particularly in well-maintained examples like the one offered here.
This particular car’s extensive restoration ensures it presents as a strong candidate for continued enjoyment or for those seeking an elegant classic with modern usability. Whether appreciated for its striking design, its grand-touring abilities, or its place in BMW’s heritage, the 633 CSi remains a compelling choice for enthusiasts and collectors alike.
