Are u planing on coming Back to Germany anytime soon? Gorgeouse car!

[@Belgian-Motorsport]

Yes, offcourse. Nürburgring and Hockenheimring.

[@bag2963]

What engine? Whats stock on this car?

[@bag2963]

Is that engine tunable? Reliable

[@zachogdahl210]

This one has a m88 from a e24 m6. Its tunable but the engines are kinda valuable. The stock 635 csi is a m30 b35 and they are very tunable. They do well NA and with boost. If you keep them na you can chip tune them on the stock ecu. Personally i love the 635 its a really smooth driving car and suprisingly nimble.

[@bag2963]

@@zachogdahl210 Thank you a lot, I agree, even though I've not driven one.

[@ivank7668]
