I have never done a barn find restoration ever before, but when i got offered this E24nBMW 635csi for cheap i took the chance! The car has been left in a barn for many years with no known reason on why it wouldnt start. After buying it i went through the process of trying to get in started! This is going to be one hell of a projet but i cant wait to show you what i have planned for it.

I am 70 now but when I was a young man in the 1980s I worked at a BMW dealership and got to drive those things. I had a blast driving the wheels off the 635M but the 633i was a better drivers car, it was lighter and more nimble than that big shed. I am interested to see how you get on with it, there looks like rust will be a problem, good luck young man!
Amazing, this is captivating !! Look forward to this big time
Yes mate! You do realise this will probably be more popular then all the new crash damage cars etc, love old retro cars, so I'm really glad to see your taking on something older, please don't let this be the last of its type. 👍🏻
Seconded 👍🏼

Be careful running that engine without coolant, those 80s straight 6 bmw engines were prone to heads cracking, happend to my e30 325i back in the day! Can't wait to see this progress Mat! 👍
If I remembered anything from Sreten (M539 Restorations), you should never start a car which sat for a long time like this, rather, dump all the fluids, disassemble all you can and manually turn over the engine. I do hope there is no catastrophic failure with this one. It's a great project.
@@vuklozo was searching for this comment, happy to see someone who knows right thing to do to a car which has sat for a long time👍
Yes yes yes! Can’t wait for this series! Love a retro refurb! Nice to see a multimeter out and a electrics diagram!
Love the enthusiasm Mat for all things car. Not just doing the standard "look at my 1200hp Audi" that takes a few bolt on bits and no skill or learning or sending it off elsewhere to do. Only a recent subscriber when i came across the Aston Video but going through the back catalogue and its just your love of cars and pushing yourself to learn on them each time rather than relying on outside help like so many other YT channels. Loving the content. Loving the retro BMW stuff and keep it coming. Can't wait to see how this progresses.
Hell yeah, finally a more "affordable" car. These builds are almost as fun, but feel a lot closer to the general audience. Thanks Mat, keep up the great work!
It's going to cost a small fortune putting this right 👍🏻👊🏿
Would love to see a dry ice cleaning on this one, will probably turn out really nice!
Dry ice in uk on a rot box and you expecting good results:)))))))) that car have to be stripped suspension replaced and powder coated is only one way to see clean finish.
I'd been thinking for a while that it would be good to see you revive an old classic.
Don't know whether it's in your plans or not, but would love to see the engine get a strip down and rebuild.
Just finished getting an engine rebuild on my 1988 635csi and added a little spice by putting in a 60mm turbo. The thing is an absolute rocket.
Wow. Just wow. BMW 635 CSI Highline...possibly the most beautiful of all THE BMW. Do it justice Matt, fantastic motor. Can't wait to see the next one 👍
I’m most excited for this than any of your others (as a bimmer boy)
Me to i have 6 BMWs in my garage
my mother just sold here e24 m635csi in blue (manual gearbox)
does yours have indicators
@@overdrivechamp3433 id indead had it was an wonderful example
I have a m635csi but its drift manual 6 speed twin turbo V8 engine 675hp 980nm
Mat...I so much love this today's content. I can't wait to see the result of this build, it's going to be an amazing build all the way. Mat thank you for bringing happiness whenever you drop contents...big ups mate...big fan from 9ja
.
Great to see another older car in the garage. Excited to see where this goes 🤝
Can't wait to see your baptism of rust. Welding to fresh air (as a hobby) has kept me amused for the last fifty years. Lots of dead-air spaces and raw box sections in a 6 series Beemer to cause many portions of the shell to dissolve in our cool and humid atmosphere. Does anyone do repair panels? You gonna need plenty before you can even think about mechanical mods. Best of luck.
This was great.
I really like the _"do whatever you have to do to get it working"_ method, because once you have it running you have a much better idea of what you do, and don't, have to do in the future.
Looking forward to more videos on this one..
This is a great change from your usual stuff - it's insane to me that a 33 year old car had functions like electric seats and aircon, not to mention an ECU. Really can't wait to see where this build goes!
@Nick Name heck, my 85 Supra has all of that minus the power seats. I'd hope that the BMW would have that stuff given how much it has to have cost new
My 1971 Mercedes’ v8 has an “engine computer management system” ecm reads inputs and adjusts accordingly
My dad imported a supercharged Buick from the states to New Zealand in 59. That beauty had power windows.
I mean cmon... this is the top bmw of the time ... of course it has all that stuff... how old r ya? 😉
Absolutely love the shark nose E24. I’d love to find one and put a “modern” drivetrain like a M54B30, maybe turbo it and 6speed manual. I think it would make the car feel much more modern without being overly complex. Maybe once my 330ci is done.
You can make an absolute beast with this Matt... this is a ride where you can easily blend old with new... eg air ride, 3 piece wheels etc.. drop an M6 Engine in
Lol
The m30 in the 635csi is a great platform to make some big power and do some interesting mods. Can basically go the big block bmw route.
Hear me out... I have a 55 plate Civic type R premier edition EP3 in cosmic grey. Red recaro seats, mamo steering wheel, red carpets. Only done 27'000 Miles. It has been stood garaged and covered for over 10 years. It's a beaut. If you ever fancy a quick turn around, funded project I'd be happy to donor her to get her back on the road. I would still need to keep her though I'm afraid ;)
Apart from the E46, this is by far going to be your best build yet! I love the old E24 6 series. And I can't believe that you got a hold of a csi of all models! Jealous is a understatement
I agree 100%. I literally cannot wait for the content on this build!
All of them were named CSi, except the early carbureted models and the US M6.
WOW, JUST WOW! Magic project Matt, well done for grabbing yourself a very cool old skool BMW to bring back to life. Really looking forward to your adventures with the car.
I hope one day soon and maybe even for your next project, you could get your hands on an RX7 and do a Rotary project. Love your work!
If he manages to actually turn that car into something decent I will like double subscribe or something! Looking forward to seeing the transformation, let's go Mat! \,,/
We just put a 1986 D reg xr4x4 sierra back on the road that had been sitting in our garage for the past 20 years. Much Easier to work on than new cars and needed very little....We are having the aircon on the sierra converted to run on the new gas....I'd keep anything of that age standard be worth more in the long run
This was an unexpected twist, I love these old csi's
Dang that's so awesome to see an old 6 series getting restored. I have a e30 of the same year with a similar story that I'm looking to start restoring soon so seeing your process definitely gives me ideas on where to start as well as motivation.
good luck mate maybe you can document the process and post it
@@alexgreen3662 that's the plan, but with the cat market being as hot as it was I kinda put it on the backbones for cars that make money. Probably gonna do that this spring
Love this car! I remember back in Jamaica my dad's friend had one of these and it was the talk of the town. Great thinking on diagnosing the ecu fault. 👍 Keep the videos coming. Can't wait to see it restored.
16:06 I felt every second of that excitement. I really dig the older rebuilds. With newer cars it's easy to plug them in for some general direction on faults. These old cars make you fault find old school. Hot wiring the fuel pump was class! Dig the Haynes out lad!
Indeed what a machine you have the right man Matt doing the body work
Absolutely love the 635CSi, best of luck and looking forward to the next video.
What’s happened to this car Matt
It's gone for body work an new 🎨 work
Very clever Mat! I love the change in content type! Love a bit of retro rebuild!
I have been watching you from the start Mat and love all the cars you have done - but this is special - absolutely love the 635 CSI - my absolute dream car! Can’t wait to see the upcoming content on this 🤪
Brilliant vid! Please make this series longer than your others..theyre perfect in length but I feel this one needs to be more in depth. Great choice again. Love it!
There's a filter for the power steering fluid. Don't forget to add it in
Such an underrated channel!! Love these series! You do an amazing job..I can’t get enough!! Thanks matt!!
Hi Mat, I am not a specialist but after watching M539 restorations, he's been always turning over the engine manually in all standstill cars to avoid engine damage and lubricate it rather than straight going straight to cranking.
i think making the older motors with a modern touch would be class, I know the old boys wont like the idea but putting a dsg gear box, led lights and maybe digi dash would really spice things up and show people that don't look at old cars and think there's nothing there
I’ve always liked the idea of modernising old cars inside and leaving the outside classics look. But most people to prefer all classic interior too. This car is older than me, I’m surprised it has electric windows and seats. Wouldn’t need to do much to this, a digital dash would be epic.
@@krypla1 I more thinking of old shitty cars like a Peugeot 206 from 2000.
Instead of going to the scrap, y not give people the opportunity to learn, maybe bring it back to life and give their in touch on it!
Even with this e24 Matt is doing, there’s so much of it that’s retro which ain’t bad but nothing wrong with maybe swapping out colours of the leds or something like that lol
Mat your videos are the best man whenever they finish I want to watch the next part. Can’t wait for you next videos 😎
Cool, love the E24 635. Especially the M635. Don’t run it without coolant too much!
Really looking forward to this one Mat! Has to be a full resto mod! Perfect car to learn old school mechanics! Great content 👌
Hi Mat. I had a problem with an ECU a few years ago. £700 for a replacement and nobody was prepared to check or look at the ECU. I gave it to a TV repair man as a last resort. He checked it and found that somebody had put the wrong polarity to it. It burnt out 15mm of track and blew a transistor. He resoldered the track and replaced the transistor. No other damage to ECU because the blown transistor prevented the current travelling any further. Total cost....£13.50.....brilliant.
That’s a great idea to whom an ECU could go to for testing. Will remember this.
Michaelmortimer5588 ,thank you so much for info .I have a 82 633 csi with a bad ecu and i had no idea who could check it out
Probably the best car you have and coolest, plus it's from an era where BMW produced reliable cars, and not designed to fail like their newer stuff.
The Achilles heel of these cars is the dreaded tin worm.
Future reference Mat. Get an OBD1 to OBD2 adapter cable. Works a treat.
Little late & I’m sure someone commented this, but you don’t put power steering fluid in the drip filter canister. It’s actually supposed to be automatic transmission fluid, preferably drexon. Had this problem with my e24
Damn Mat, I wish your video's were longer! So good to watch, at this point I don't even think it matters what you work on, you have a solid subscriber in me man, keep up the good work, can't wait to see this project through!!!
Mate, I've followed your journey with restoring cars to their former glory for quite some time now and for sure this will be my personal favorite projects that you will take on. Looking forward to seeing this beauty get restored!
This is literally my dream car ❤️❤️ wish I could afford something so speacial 🙌 super happy you have decided to give this a go, can’t wait for the final product 🍿 Super huge fan 🤙
An absolute classic with forever eye catching style. This is a lovely Highline interior leather on all surfaces which can be cleaned up nicely with high quality leather products. Awesome awesome vehicle! Sadly in your area rust is a serious issue however the interior is saved. Here in California these cars have no rust but sunbaked interiors and paint
I love old cars so thanks for doing another older car vid keep it up mat I remember watching from the camo tt and you've grown loads fair play to you
You've absolutely smashed it with this Mat, can't wait to see how it turns out! She's got so much potential!
It is to me the peak of BMW design, that sharp front end is so beautiful.
Awesome car! The E24 is the greatest classic BMW around; cant wait to see what you do with it!!
Already my favourite build series absolutely love the e24
Super excited to watch this series! Great to see you working on older and different cars, this one should be awesome!
This was brilliant, I was thinking from the off how you gonna do without an OBDII. That was a heck of a problem solve, loved seeing the books out. Shows what differentiates this from others. Hard work beats talent!
Ah and what a car! Gonna love all the details that you'll show and excited for how you are gonna put your stamp on it!
Props to you, Hannah, your mates, your support.
Fair play to you for jumping in at the deep end with this one, really looking forward to seeing your progress with this 635
MATT 635 CSI is a flying machine I love them can't wait to see more videos
When this car came out new it was one of my favorites.
Definitely do an E86 Z4! Modern classic, looks mean lowered and with some skirts
That A4 with gold wheels in the background looks beautiful
I'm liking the turn that this channel has just taken!! Possibly a CSL kit coming?
probably better to turn the engine over by hand on a car that's been stood for years and pour a drop of oil down the bores before hitting it with the key. don't want to potentially damage any rings or worse. i always liked these, a friend has one and another friend had the 628. proper cars.
Love the retro approach matt in the immortal words of one James T Kirk… “ to boldly go where no man has gone before…”. 😎
a old e30 would be cool to see, i owned a couple back in the day and love them but with your touch id bet it would look epic
These cars are going for such a lot of money and are in high demand, you have a real gem there...
I had 735 of that vintage for 5 years. A glorious engine. Well worth your effort.
Finally classic car for me that will be one of the best yours projects can't wait for more episodes
Love a six series . Rear quarter such an amazing design 😻
Oh I can't wait to see this beauty get restored. This is gonna be great. This will create more excitement than any new Audi.
Can't wait to see this saved absolutely fantastic news for your channel matt love it
Mate, as soon as I saw that auto selector I was thinking this deffo needs a manual conversion. Now we know the gearbox is f**ked, definitely convert it. That would be lovely content and the end product would be world's better for it. Fire content as always 😤
Absolutely fantastic mate you are truly a master mechanic . Can’t wait for the next instalment of your video blog .
Looking forward to seeing the restoration .
Now you got the most beautiful bmw ever made 🤩👌🔥
The capacitors inside the ECU do not last forever,I had an 8 series and there was a ‘cheap’ workaround for when the caps went…(soldering job and about a fivers worth of caps)
This is going to be one of your best series. Can't wait to watch these. I love all your BMW builds.
I had a e30 motorsport with the same immobiliser. I think they were a dealer option. I was fortunate and still had the immobiliser key to disable it. I know you have cut it out now but worth looking if you have a key that looks like a vending machine key.
This will probably be THE BEST build ever (I’m a classic man at heart)
Thought "cool... but the automatic transmission" you nailed it! Best project so far!
You knocked it out of the park with the music on this one, Mat! ❤ So friggin’ fitting!
I had a BMW E30 325i and I blew the ECU when I jumped it incorrectly. Turns out inside the ECU on that model is a solder fuse that will burn out. You might be lucky and it is the same with the E24. You'd just need to solder it again.
That car is iconic can't wait to see what you do with it!!
To have my own place with space for fixing up specificly an E24 635CSI is a huge dream for me! New to the channel, amazing content mate.
Well done Matt welcome to the classic bmw life. E36 m3 owner oooooh it’s a long project good look mate!!
The most beautiful BMW ever built , change my mind !
Very excited about this project 🙌🏼
This could be an awesome series, can't wait to see where you get to with this project. Would love to see you restore back to original spec!!
Fantastic! love the enthusiasm. Beautiful car
Such a beautiful and timeless car
It's all about your good humour! Very entertaining.
I got a feeling this could be my new favorite 😍 project
Great videos. I reckon he goes half's with the lad who runs the competitions. Buys damaged motors... makes money vlogin about them and then guaranteed to sell them via competitions win win. Genius to be fair
I wish 😂😅
I have the same problem with my e23 bmw thanks a million would love to see u build a custom e30
Well done too get it running
Well done getting that started 👏
Now this is my favourite BMW of all now this I'm looking forward to 👍
Can you somehow mate a ZF gearbox to the car and basically do one of them modern classic where it’s all new under the shell?
What a car!!!!your magic & it'll be worth a fortune!!!❤❤❤
We had an M6 E24 at the shop its a beautiful car
Im so happy to see this video - love supercars but this kind of creeper is amazing content!! Love the constant evolution to keep things fresh.
