This BMW 635CSi is a tribute to the original Group-A racer which bore the same livery back in 1983, and is based on a correct E24 frame and chassis. The seller doesn’t offer too many details and specifics, but the car is reportedly as close to the original as possible with essentially no detail forgotten or overlooked. As of October, it was seeing use in a touring car series and the ad includes a few photos of the car in action in addition to stating that it comes fully homologated with FIA paperwork, making it race-ready. Find it here on RaceCarsDirect in Kirton Lindsey, England for £195k (~$244k today).

The description notes the build as having taken place during Winter 2015-2016, and the photos show a car in excellent condition with a nice exterior finish, consistent panel gaps and straight bodywork. The wheels appear to be a nice center locking basket-weave design in gold that suits the car’s era perfectly, and the tires mounted in the photos are Dunlop. A commonly seen rubber trunk lip is fitted to the rear while below the front bumper sits a nice air dam.

The listing includes several photos of the build process which show a completely stripped shell that looks to be in great condition. Finished interior photos aren’t included, but the cage looks like a professional job and the description mentions that the dash and door cards are done exactly like the original.

Shots of the engine installed are not supplied, and aside from being quite clean, the M30 big-six pictured below doesn’t look particularly impressive on a hoist. Regardless, the seller quotes output at 310 BHP which is a serious number for these 12-valve single-cam engines.

The suspension hasn’t been ignored either, with photos and the seller describing a setup that’s meant to embody the original as best as possible with the correct dampers and trailing arms.
