Identification guide

How to tell an original from a replica or later conversion.

The registry shows the S38-engined 635 CSi under production codes 5511, 5514, 5531, 5532 and the later EE11, EE14, EE19, EE31, EE32 series; the page gives 191 kW for the European left-hand-drive codes 5511 and EE11. M30-engined 635 CSi codes (5351 etc.) are the ordinary cars and do not qualify.
