There was a time when BMW didn’t give its cars such massive grilles like the one on the current 4-Series. To be fair, there still are some cars in the BMW stable that don’t, but anyway...

We’re reminiscing the good old days because we’ve just come across a 1984 BMW 633CSi, and boy, were Bimmers unquestionably beautiful back in the day. We reckon it’ll be hard to find anyone complaining how ugly this vintage 6-Series is.

As usual, we saw this gem on BringATrailer, and as of this writing, the bid is currently at just under $12,000 (P577,000). That’s actually not too shabby for such a pristine sedan that’s nearly three decades old.

Both the exterior and interior of this two-door are still incredibly clean. Granted, it’s not spotless, but clearly, it was well-maintained throughout its lifetime. Highlights in the cabin include blue leather seats, blue carpets, and a leather-clad steering wheel. There’s also a factory cassette player inside to boot.

Under the hood, this BMW packs a 3.2-liter straight-six petrol mill factory rated at 181hp and 264Nm and is mated to a five-speed manual tranny. The engine still runs and sounds pretty damn good given its age, not to mention the fact that the car has already run 117,000km. Look:

Now, this one may not have such a colored past like that other 6-Series that was once owned by Sean Connery, but it’s still a beautiful classic piece in and of itself. Check out more photos of it below, and tell us what you think of it in the comments.
