1989 BMW 635 CSi “Motorsport Edition” — Macau Blue / Lotus White
Background
BMW’s E24 6 Series is an icon of late-80s grand touring. The UK-market “Motorsport Edition” crowned the model’s final years with M-Technic exterior styling, cross-spoke alloys and a sport-focused chassis tune, all powered by BMW’s charismatic straight-six. Finished in deep Macau Blue over Lotus White leather, this example is period-correct, elegant and rare.
Shoot suitability & time setting
Perfect for productions set 1987–1992 (and stylish flashbacks into the early 90s). The long bonnet, pillarless side glass and “shark nose” profile read beautifully on camera. Macau Blue photographs as inky navy by night and rich metallic blue by day; the pale interior lifts dialogue and close-ups. Ideal for hero or antagonist roles, night city driving, executive arrivals, coastal road sequences, hotel forecourts and high-end suburban scenes.
Character fit
Suited to characters with means and taste: city banker, architect, club owner, record-label executive, successful entrepreneur—or today’s discreet collector who holds onto an 80s GT. It signals cultivated wealth, confidence and European sophistication without shouting.
On-set advantages
Strong screen presence, authentic late-80s details, smooth six-cylinder soundtrack, and a bright interior that works for in-car dialogue. Available with period plates/props on request and supported by Gericia’s all-inclusive hire service (logistics, on-site wrangler, reversible cosmetic adjustments).
