1983 BMW 635CSI Grey Market Racecar
Description
For sale is a Grey Market Euro 1983 BMW 635CSI Racecar. This car has been a used in Chumpcar for the last few years and has been owned by myself and three other members of the team. The car ran the original M30B34 Euro engine until it blew a hole in the side of the block and then we swapped in a US spec M30B35...which also blew a hole in the side of the block. So the car comes two M30B35 engines, one bad engine block sitting in the engine bay and another good engine that we acquired to replace the bad one in the car. The cylinder head on the engine in the car had just been rebuilt, it has maybe 4 hours of race time on it. It was not overheated and was decked, new valve seats, valve guides, etc. We have decided to sell the car because the team and I just don't have enough time to get together and wrench on the car and fix it the way it should be fixed to last an entire endurance race. The car has a lot of potential and a lot of very good parts to be able to be a top performer.
All photos can be found on the website Imgur. Ebay won't let me link to the gallery so what you will need to do is go to Imgur and type in the search bar "1983 bmw 635 racecar" and it should pop up.
I put in the "title" section that the title is clear. The car does not have a title as it was a grey market euro import way back in the day. Vehicle will be sold on a bill of sale. This car is far from street legal anyways. Also the VIN listed is not the VIN for the car, it is a VIN I found printed on a random ECU laying around. The car most likely had a serial number stamped somewhere but I could not find anything...because racecar
Highlights:
- Everything is set up and ready for an M30B35 engine. This car originally had an M30B34 and while similar, they are vastly different in terms of actually going into the car. Swap mounts are installed, wiring is sorted, and all other accessories are fitted to the engine. A lot of work went into getting a B35 into this car.
- Fully functional fire suppression system
- Full professionally installed and build roll cage. The cage in this thing is over built to say the least.
- Fuel cell with pump and filter set up
- Limited slip differential
- Two sets of 17 inch wheels with decent Nitto NT05 tires
- One set of 15 inch stock wheels.
- Blown up engine in the car has freshly rebuilt cylinder head

- A boat load of extra parts
The bad:
- Belts are expired
- Blown up engine in the car so it does not currently run
- No title
- Needs some suspension work. Some of the rubber underneath is getting a little worn out. Thrust rod bushings were replaced and have only a few race hours on them.
