Interior:
Seats- Anthrazite (black) leather seats, grey carpet. There are no tears in any of the leather. There is a small spot on the drivers seat that has had the color worn down
Dash- Anthrazite (Black) The dash is in mostly great shape. It does have some cracks that have been filled with SURGRU. They are visible from outside the car if you look down through the windshield. From the seated position none of these cracks stand out.
Carpet- The carpet is original and in great shape and has no major stains or tears. The BMW floor mats were purchased 2/1/22 and have never had feet on them.
Environmental- The AC and heat both function. I replaced the blower fans a few years ago and the electric exterior air vent motor (jan/22)
Audio- The stock alpine radio with Blaupunkt amplifier in the trunk. It and All 4 original speakers function. The tape deck works, but has trouble ejecting the tape so I do not use it and would recommend you not either. The security codes for the radio are known.
Instruments- Quite simply, everything in the car works. Every gauge, light, switch, knob, button, Onboard computer ECT on the dash functions as it should.
Headliner- Original headliner. Has very minor stains but no tearing.
Rear speaker pods- Perfect condition.
Exterior:
Paint- Cinabar red. Good to great overall condition. Not quite "like new". I has been recently buffed and treated with a graphene coating. There are some minor chips that have been touched up but are not noticeable from a few feet away.
Exterior rubber- Great condition, All 4 corners, all bumper pieces, even the front and rear blinds have been replaced in the last few years and been in the garage since.
Exterior plastic- All in pretty good condition. The bumper plastic is all new.
Exterior metal- No major scratches or dents.
Trunk- The trunk is complete, including the tool kit.
Door seals- The passenger side is original and in serviceable condition. The drivers side was replaced (02/5/2022)
BONUS STUFF- I have the original booklet that came with the car. It has the BMW 635CSI users manual, BMW cassette tape and head cleaner, as well as the original radio security cards and radio users manual. (the security codes on these cards do not match the radio as the original radio broke and had to be replaced, but I have the codes for the replacement radio) There is also a 635csi advertising "magazine" to go along. In the glove box you will find the BMW flashlight (converted to LED) in the charging port functions well. There is a new and functional BMW Key and a second spare included.
