Now rebuild with webers,headers,worked head , rally camshaft, and tuneable ignition module. curious to test drive !!

I remember the 635 CSi coupes in the early 70s, weren't they known as "Batmobiles" ?
My brother did technical service on Froude dynamometers used by Luigi , who was one of the foremost non-factory tuners of BMW.
I recall seeing them at Spa racing going through Eau Rouge with a touch of opposite lock, they were pretty brave.
Nice looking engine.

I owned a 1986 635 CSI for for 7 years till I sold it in 1994 - loved it, great motor. I remember the 635 CSi coupes in the early 70s, weren't they known as "Batmobiles" ?

The batmobiles were the E9 model https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E9 This morphed into the E24 model or 630/635 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_6_Series_(E24) My old boss had a new M635CSi many years ago. The IL-6 engine made a great impression on me. It never felt fast because it sounded so smooth but it did get a move on.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.
