Up for grabs is one very rare 1979 BMW 635CSi. This car is very rare and desirable because of it's unique body work and euro instrumentation. The European bumpers are very difficult to find and were not available in the US. The 635 model was not sold in the US for 1979 making this grey market import very rare. It has a very low 123k miles on it.

A little history about the car... I bought this car while it was in the midst of restoration. The original engine had failed and was being replaced with a very low mileage engine and 5-speed overdrive manual transmission from a wrecked late model 635. The engine is installed in the engine bay, but needs to be wired with it's included harness and computer. The transmission is not installed. This is basically the remaining work to be done to have a running, driving car. I have extensive documentation that came with the donor car stating the fantastic condition of the engine and transmission. 

The body of the car is in surprisingly good condition with some minor rust in the usual places around the rear wheel wells. The euro cars always have an amount of rust, this one being one of the least rusty euro BMW's I have seen. The nose does have a dent, but a replacement piece in excellent condition is included, along with the very nice kidney grills. It is very solid overall. The doors open and close with that excellent feel one expects from BMW. Very tight and quiet. The wheels are very rare as well, I will not sell them separately. 

The interior is in fair condition. The door panels are very nice as are the rear seats and carpet. The front seat leather is deteriorated but intact, the seats are solid with no degradation of the foam or structure. The headliner is excellent. The dash is cracked in the typical fashion of most 635 BMW's, replacement covers are readily available. The instrumentation is all euro, very unique and in great condition. The rear seats and panels are also very nice. 

MANY extra parts are included with the car including but not limited to rear seats, rear center console with climate controls and beverage chiller (rare!), instrument cluster, various engine sensors and parts, wheels, E28 rear subframe with sway bar that will allow the use of larger brakes, and a wide variety of gearing options with the use of a later model differential. A 3.73 limited slip differential is included. Extra tail lights in excellent condition, grills, lenses, nose piece with kidney grills, short shifter, strut tower brace, and much more.

I am aware that this car could be parted out for a sum much greater than my asking price. The wheels, differential and bumpers alone could easily be sold for my asking price, but I would like to see this car go to someone who is willing to restore it. It is an amazing car that should remain on the road. I have seen the European bumpers sell in excess of half of my asking price alone. To the BMW enthusiasts out there, you will recognize the value in this car. Look up the cost of a strut tower brace for a 635 just to give you an idea of the parts value!

Please feel free to ask questions and request pictures. I am available to show the car most any time. I will be posting more pictures later today.


Thanks for looking!

Watch the BMW i8 get wrung out on the Ring

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

Been wondering where the heck the reviews of the all-new, plug-in-hybrid BMW i8 have been? After all, the car isn't exactly new, having debuted in concept form way back in September of 2009. In August of last year, we even tested a prototype of the new supercar. Despite that, though, we still haven't gotten a crack at the actual vehicle that will be sold to the public.
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're currently testing the i8 and will have a proper review for you soon. If, however, you're just aching for some coverage of the low-slung plug-in, we have a short video of it in action around Germany's famed Nürburgring.
Despite it's three-cylinder, turbocharged gas engine, the i8 sounds pretty angry as it laps the Ring. That is, until it has a little bit of a breakdown. According to the guys that caught the car on video, it appeared the i8 had a minor brake issue, and was parked on the side of the track for a good 15 minutes, with the driver pumping the brakes. We should probably just take this as proof, then, that manufacturers are actually using the Ring for testing, and not just messing about.

BMW reveals new seven-seat 2 Series Gran Tourer [w/video]

Wed, Feb 11 2015

Everything is turning up Gran over at BMW these days. The 4 Series and 6 Series sprout extra doors to become Gran Coupes. The 3 Series and 5 Series get weird rooflines to become Gran Turismos. And now the 2 Series Active Tourer has grown an extra row of seats to become the Gran Tourer. What we're looking at is essentially the same mini-minivan/tall-hatchback that emerged almost exactly a year ago as the first front-drive model in BMW's history. Only in the guise of the new 2 Series Gran Tourer, it's been stretched to accommodate that third row of seats to give it seven-seat capacity – which was to be expected, of course, but is still fairly impressive considering how compact this vehicle actually is. It may be less than ten inches longer than the five-seat Active Tourer, but it's still smaller than just about any seven-seater on the market, and to hear the Bavarians tell it, it's "the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats." Those seats are optional and can fold under the floor, and the middle row splits 40:20:40 and folds flat at the push of a button to give the 2 Series Gran Tourer a flexible cargo capacity ranging from 22.7 cubic feet all the way up to 67 cu ft. All of that in a vehicle no longer than a Ford Focus, which even in European wagon form can only swallow 53 cu ft with the seats folded – and you can forget about the extra seats in the Focus. European buyers will be able to choose between five engine options with three or four cylinders and ranging from 116 horsepower to 192. Available all-wheel drive might make you forget it's riding on a front-drive platform altogether (but not likely). Either way, the five-seat Active Tourer hasn't found its way to US showrooms, so we won't expect to see this new seven-seat version here either. At least not for the time being. But we'll surely have the chance to check it out in person for you next month at the Geneva Motor Show. The new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer. 11.02.2015 With the new BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, BMW has carved out yet another new vehicle segment. With its generous space, versatility and groundbreaking flexibility, the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer is the world's first premium compact model to offer up to seven seats and fully meet the mobility requirements of young families. Compact yet capacious.
