PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in good to very good, 99% rust-free condition overall. The repaint of four years ago and $3,000 was not then, nor is it now concourse. It is a presentable ten-foot original color respray over a very clean, near perfectly rust-free body. It is fairly nice and under closer inspection you will find some minor blemishe, nicks, overspray and scratches here and there. The original small chrome euro bumpers and trim are in still decent condition. The rear license plate has been trimmed to fit the rear valance. The nice clean 18" wheels give the car a great stance [fair to good tires].

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this turbo 6er shark is in very good to excellent condition overall! It sports a PRISTINE, 99.9% crack-free dash, excellent door panels, clean black leather electric "comfort" seats, redone headliner, nice original carpeting with ALL of the gauges and controls working as they should! NOTE: You may choose the electric black leather M6 sport seats instead of the comfor seats. see photo link. Also in addition to the Nardi sport wheel you may have the original three-spoke steering wheel.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic 635CSi TURBO is FABULOUS TO DRIVE! With approximately 350 horsepower on tap with similar torque numbers, this car accelerates very well with great verve. Check out the little acceleration video pitted againts the Dinan turbo E28 which is rated at about 380 horsepower. It is definitely faster than an E24 M6! The engine starts right up with nice growl and turbo sounds when driving. The suspension is firm but not punishing with excellent responsive steering, the transmission [NOT gogleg] is smooth and grind-free shifting. This is a truly satisfying car to drive with very nice presence on the road!

2016 BMW X5 M is big and bold, not beautiful

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Awesome as it is, the BMW X5 M has never really been an attractive machine. Big and bulgy are the themes here, and that's only more pronounced with the X5's most recent refresh. But no matter, the X5 M has never been about looks - for this machine, it's all about performance, and BMW's hi-po crossover absolutely delivers in this regard.
Under the hood is the familiar 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8, though power has been boosted to 567 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque - healthy increases of 12 and 53, respectively, compared to the outgoing model. Hitting 60 miles per hour is said to take just four seconds, which is damn impressive considering this thing weighs well over 5,000 pounds.
But the X5 M has always been shockingly good to drive, with limits you'll never reach except in the most hardcore track scenarios (which we'd really like to see, by the way). It's not the prettiest thing ever, but that's okay. It's not exactly cheap, though, with prices starting at $99,650. Woof.

Toyota-BMW sports car to gain all-wheel drive, supercapacitors?

Mon, 24 Mar 2014

Sales of salt are skyrocketing following the latest rumor of the planned joint-venture sports car from Toyota and BMW. The whisperings indicate that project will spawn both a replacement for the BMW Z4 and a long-awaited Toyota Supra successor based on the FT-1 Concept shown above. Word is that the new cars will feature front-engine, all-wheel-drive layouts with plug-in hybrid technology. This news would appear to run somewhat counter to earlier reports that BMW and Toyota are teaming for a six-figure hybrid supercar.
According to Autocar, the project will benefit from the experience Toyota gained with the TS030, its hybridized Le Mans prototype. The evidence for this is, of all things, a Toyota Yaris - in particular, the Yaris Hybrid R that was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show last September. That car used a 300-horsepower, 1.6-liter gas engine, while a pair of 60-horsepower electric motors provided all-wheel-drive push (an additional motor also sent additional juice to the front axle). The 414-system-horsepower drivetrain used supercapacitors in place of the traditional lithium-ion batteries of traditional hybrids.
For the production sports cars, Autocar claims that the Yaris Hybrid R's setup will serve as the basis for the new powertrain, although it won't be a direct carryover. Instead, a 2.0-liter BMW engine will be paired with Toyota-designed, BMW-built motors.

BMW i3 configurator is so advanced it's replaced trim levels

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

BMW's electric i3 is slowly marching its way to dealers. It might not be happening quite fast enough for customers, though. For you anxious individuals, head over to the BMW consumer website and build your ideal i3 in the new configurator.
Before we talk about all the stuff this build tool can do, we need to address the naming of BMW's trim levels for the EV hatchback. The 328i, for example, is available in Sport Line, M Sport Line and Luxury Line. That's good; it makes sense. The i3, though, has Giga World, Tera World and Mega World. Seriously. We've no idea what BMW was thinking when it came up with this (this is the same company that regularly uses the phrase "Sport Activity Vehicle," so...).
Silly names aside, let's try and translate where each trim fits in. The Mega World is the base trim. The Giga, at $1,700, adds stylish leather-and-wool seats in a clean two-tone color scheme, along with 19-inch wheels and a leather-covered IP. The Tera World demands $2,700, but makes up for it with its own 19-inch wheels and a full leather interior. Both lines (worlds?) add satellite radio and eucalyptus wood trim.
