We discovered this unique 1986 BMW 635 CSi (E24<\/a>) listed last year on Seven82 Motors<\/a>. The classic coupe originally came with a 3.4 L M30B34 inline-six but was swapped to a turbocharged 4.0 L Ford Barra inline-six by Golinski Performance<\/a>. The motor features upgraded valve springs, FG Turbo intake manifold, upgraded injectors, custom exhaust manifold, and Garrett GTX3582 turbocharger. Real Dyno Performance<\/a> tuned the motor and made 418 hp (311 kW) to the wheels. Behind the Barra is a Falcon (BA) BTR four-speed automatic transmission and custom one-piece driveshaft. No mention of the rear differential. <\/p>\n
