About the BMW M635 CSi E24 Shadow Line Delphin Metallic AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast BMW M635 CSi E24 in Delphin Metallic captures the Shadow Line-trimmed M variant of BMW's 6 Series coupe, with opening doors, hood and trunk. This is a used example; the box shows traces of storage. A performance-flavored companion to the standard 635 CSi.
The Shadow Line treatment, blacked-out trim replacing the usual chrome, gives this M635 CSi a noticeably sharper look than a standard 6 Series, and Delphin Metallic sets that darker trim off well without overwhelming it.
Construction and the Shadow Line Details
The zinc alloy body gives the model the weight AUTOart's mid-to-upper tier is known for, and the Shadow Line's darkened window surrounds and grille slats are cast with enough crispness to read clearly against the metallic paint. Doors, hood and trunk open, exposing the engine bay AUTOart typically details with genuine care on its M-badged coupes, a meaningful feature since the M635 CSi's inline-six was the whole point of the variant. Panel gaps stay tight along the character lines, and the metallic finish shows real depth under a display lamp, the kind of paint quality that separates this tier from mass-market diecast. This particular copy is a used example, and its box shows traces of storage from time spent off the shelf; the model itself carries no such wear.
The M635 CSi as BMW's E24 Performance Flagship
Introduced in 1984, the M635 CSi (sold in North America as the M6) paired the E24 body with the M88 inline-six developed for the M1 supercar, making it one of the fastest four-seat coupes of its era. It sat above the standard 635 CSi in every way that mattered mechanically while keeping the same restrained shape, letting it blend in on the road while outrunning most contemporaries. The Shadow Line option was a factory way to visually separate the M car from lesser 6 Series models without resorting to loud graphics, a subtlety that still appeals to collectors who prefer understated performance icons.
Placed beside a standard 635 CSi, this M-variant makes the performance distinction visually obvious, a pairing that tells the 6 Series story in two pieces rather than one.
