1985 was another year of the E24 as BMW's two door grand tourer, available as the 628CSi, 635CSi and the high performance M635CSi, with the updated chassis and suspension of the 1982 revision. The car was produced at the Dingolfing plant and was around ten years old in design, though it remained one of the best looking BMWs of its time. The E23 7 Series, introduced in 1977, was the larger saloon sold beside the coupe.
