Thank you everyone for your past help. I've been researching 635's, but can't figure out what I have. It's a 1987 635csi with full black leather interior / black carpet. Everything inside is leather dash/door panels/back seats and side panels/cooler etc. Is it just a csi or is it a L6? I can't find anything to tell me. If it's not an L6, what makes it different? Thanks again.

All L6 had that as an emblem on the trunk.

There was a highline model that also had more leather than the csi.

The L6 was a luxury version only available in the US and in automatic form. In the UK it was called the 635CSi Highline and some manual cars were made. This car had a leather head lining, leather door skins, leather dashboard, etc.

Weight is also an issue.

Model weight in kg HP per 1000kg ratio of differential

635CSi Coupe M30 77-89 1430 152 3.07 / 3.45 (US)
M6 Coupe S38 83-89 1500 191 3.73
L6 Coupe M30 ?- 89 1560 117 3.25

US power figures for this car were quite a bit lower than euro figures and the cars were around 85kg heavier as well

Thank you for all the help. This has been the best site for information and everyone is really friendly and helpful. I guess I have an L6 model. Now I need to find the value so I can put it up for sale. The car looks new and has 75,000 miles, but I need to part with it for a new Ferrari. Thanks again!

tellab is the dash leather or vinyl?
Is your car auto or 5spd?

Is the upper part of the door panel (where the tweeter is) two tone leather or vinyl?

if it's a factory L6 - it should say "L6" on the rear trunk - it it says "635 CSi" then it's a CSi.

also - all the "L6"'s were autos..
