Wheeler Dealers season 4 episode 7 focuses on a classic car enthusiast's dream - the BMW E24 635CSi. Hosts Mike Brewer and Edd China scour the market to find a car that is in good enough condition to restore and sell for a profit.
The episode starts with Mike and Edd heading to a potential seller's home to check out a 1985 BMW E24 635CSi. The car looks promising at first glance, but the hosts quickly find some issues with the engine and suspension. Always up for a challenge, they take the car for a test drive to get a better idea of what needs fixing.
After some negotiating, Mike and Edd agree to purchase the car for next to nothing, despite the long list of repairs needed. Back in the garage, the hosts begin the painstaking process of restoring the classic BMW. They start with the engine, replacing the timing belt, water pump, and numerous other parts. Edd also addresses the suspension issues by replacing the shocks and struts.
Next up is the car's interior. The original fabric seats are in good condition, so a deep clean is all that is needed. The dashboard and door panels, however, are in desperate need of some TLC. Edd removes them and uses a special technique to restore their original shine.
With the engine and interior restored, the hosts turn their attention to the car's exterior. The BMW's original paint job has lost its luster, so Edd gets to work sanding and prepping the car for a new coat of paint. He also replaces some of the car's rusty body panels to give it a fresh look.
Once the car is reassembled, it's time to take it for a test drive. Mike and Edd are thrilled with how the BMW E24 635CSi handles on the road. They are confident that they will be able to sell the car for a significant profit.
The episode ends with Mike and Edd listing the car for sale and meeting with potential buyers. Will they be able to sell the car for a profit and make all their hard work and investment worth it? Tune in to find out.
