Hi
I am wondering if anyone can provide any information on a BMW635 which has been bodystyled and presumably tuned by the above company. It has what appears to be a through flow exhaust running into central quad pipes at the rear. A totally unique full leather interior, with a multifunction steering wheel, together with what appears to be a coston interior. The rear tyres are absolutely awesome, and would seem suited to an F1 car !.

I have found only one picture of a similarly styled 6 series on the net, but little other information with regrds to performance etc.

I would be very grateful if anyone could provide any further information, or a link etc, as I have been offered the car, which currently is on blocks in a garage - and whilst i'm interested I havent a clue how much i would need to pay, and what sort of car I would end up with. I have posted some photos, and have more if they will help

Gemballa was a tuning company from the 80's that played with everything from BMW's to Ferraris. They used to build a Porsche 911 that they called the Avalanche. It was completely garish, with monochrome leather interior, HUGE wings, electronic gauges, and rear view video cameras. That's about all I know, and I don't ever recall seeing their version of a 635.

Yeah that interior kind of looks like a tampon spit up on it.

What does the body look like -?

I'm not a fan of the quad pipes.

I'm fairly certain a Gemballa car looks something like this:

Which is to say, if bad taste were dynamite, you wouldn't want to smoke anywhere close to it...

If you are knocking Gemballa, you obviously haven't driven this ---> http://www.gemballausa.com/view.asp?mod=996Turbo&imid=g96_gtr650evo_tgp04_si&nnim=11&view=1 It's by far one of the greatest machines I've ever driven.
