The Original: BMW 635 CSi (E24)
The BMW 635 CSi comes from the first generation of the 6 Series, which was produced from 1976 to 1989. The designer behind this beauty was Paul Bracq, known for his clean lines and elegant shapes. The 6 Series was basically a step up from the previous model, the BMW E9, aiming for the luxury coupé market. Powered by a 3.5-liter (0.14-gallon) inline-six engine cranking out up to 218 horsepower, the 635 CSi was built for both long trips and sporty rides. The engine tech was refined by engineers like Bernhard Osswald, and it came packed with cool features like a sporty suspension and the groundbreaking ABS system, which was a big deal back then. Extras like cruise control, air conditioning, and enhanced safety features really emphasized its luxury vibe.
Success on the Racetrack
The BMW 635 CSi didn't just shine on the streets; it also made waves in motorsport. This car was a powerhouse in the European Touring Car Championship (ETCC) and was one of the standout vehicles in its class during its heyday. Famous drivers like Hans-Joachim Stuck and Dieter Quester drove this beauty to victory in numerous races. Its balanced aerodynamics, powerful engine, and precise handling made it a dominant force on the tracks. BMW was always keen to keep upgrading the race versions of this model, leading to a ton of wins and championships.
The Model Modification: Hot Wheels 1/64-Scale
The model shown here at a 1/64 scale was originally made by Hot Wheels and is crafted from durable diecast material. Just a heads-up, this version has been modified and doesn’t represent the original product from Hot Wheels. These mods give it a unique twist and make it a special piece for collectors. It’s pretty common for miniatures to be customized to make them stand out more. Thanks to the extra detail in these modifications, this model definitely shines compared to regular factory versions.
The Look: Show Off in 1/64 Scale
This modified model features a slick black paint job paired with gold accents. You can spot sponsor stickers like Castrol and Goodyear on the sides and the hood, giving it that authentic racing vibe. The gold wheels with intricate spokes and the Goodyear logos on the tires really complete the look. The number “35” and the “HWS” logo on the doors further highlight its racing character. They nailed the details on the wide fenders, rear spoiler, and headlights too.
A Highlight for Collectors
This model isn’t just a shoutout to the legendary BMW 635 CSi; it has its own story thanks to the individual modifications. Whether it’s a part of “Fred” the model member’s collection or standing alone as a work of art: the attention to detail and color scheme makes it a real eye-catcher. The mix of black paint and gold decorations makes it a standout piece in any collection. Plus, the high-quality diecast construction means this model is tough and built to last – a must-have for fans of miniatures and motorsport!
