This 1981 633csi was my first car. I no longer have the money/space to maintain it to my likings.

The car originated in Seattle Washington where the owner kept it in a garage rarely driving it. The car was then sold to a man in California. I then purchased the vehicle in the summer of 2008 with 90,000 miles. When I bought the car it had a cold start problem. I had to replace the reluctor wheel in the distributor and ever since then I have not had any issues with it starting. The car recently received new front control arms and tie rods because of old age. The handling of the car was improved greatly as a result and they should last for another hundred thousand miles.

The interior of the car is very clean. I added a Blaupunkt stereo with built in Bluetooth as well as replaced the two rear speakers. The seats are very comfortable made out of a tan leather and purple stitching. The rest of the interior is Brown and Black. The dashboard also has some small cracks in it.

A previous owner had the car repainted. A small section at the bottom left of the rear window is starting to peel however it is not very noticeable. On the trunk the paint is slightly cracked.

Overall the car still feels very solid for a 34 year old vehicle (it was manufactured in 1980). It currently has over 120,000 miles. The clutch easily has another 50,000 miles in it. The car was used as a daily driver for about six years until I moved and bought a new car. There are no strange shakes and rattles and it is surprisingly reliable in the snow. Although the transmission does perform just fine, the first and second gear synchros are slightly worn requiring a little more force to engage when accelerating quickly. The gears do not crunch however you will be able to tell the transmission has 120,000 miles on it.

This vehicle will make a perfect first car or a great project car for anyone who wants to dive into easy to work on BMWs. I have included all the paperwork from the previous owners as well as a book on wiring diagrams for the vehicle.

Below is a list of some of the minor problems with the car.

Minor wheel arch rust as seen in photos as well as a couple of chips on the front from debris during everyday use and a small scratch from a door ding. Minor cracking on trunk.
No visible engine oil leaks, add about a quart of oil per 500 miles.
The driver side interior upper handle broke off as it was made of plastic (see photo).
Air conditioning and heat both work. Air conditioning could use a recharge soon. The compressor pump gets stuck in the on position and condensation tends to build up in the fan. The drainage is clogged. I did not use the air conditioning much.
Reverse lights turn on only half the time. Installed a switch underneath and to the right of the steering column to activate them manually.
Rear defroster switch is stuck in "on" position.
The O2 sensor light came on signaling it needs to be replaced however it does not affect how the car runs.
Rear windows don't work (switch related), the passenger window needs help coming all the way up in cold weather.
Sunroof fuse keeps blowing. Stopped using it altogether.

BMW M4 sheds some camouflage for latest test run

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Last time we saw the upcoming BMW M4 out testing, it was heavily clad with camouflage and decidedly homely looking (as most early development mules are). But in this latest set of photos, the M3 coupe successor has started to come into its own skin, and we're seeing a shape more closely akin to that of a rendering we brought you a few months back.
Unsurprisingly, the M4 coupe looks very similar to the 4 Series Concept that BMW debuted at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year. And while non-M version of the 4er will likely look a bit more sedate, these spy shots clearly show an aggressive front fascia, large wheels and the usual quad-exhaust rounding out the rear end.
Naturally, the M3 sedan will launch before this M4 coupe (and convertible), and powertrain details are still unclear as of this writing. We understand that the current M3's naturally aspirated V8 will be axed in favor of some sort of turbocharged six-cylinder engine, and we've heard plenty of rumors as to what, exactly, it might be, but we have yet to hear any official confirmation.

Morgan Plus 8 Speedster hits the track versus BMW R Nine T

Mon, Sep 29 2014

Evo is back at it with its car-versus-bike races, following up on the all-British Jaguar/Triumph battle from last weekend with an (almost) all-BMW affair, pitting the German brand's stylish and vintage-looking R Nine T against the British-built, BMW-powered Morgan Plus 8 Speedster. Unlike last week's battle, though, we're guessing this contest will be quite a bit more even. See, the F-Type had 380 horsepower and plenty of body fat to haul about. The Morgan, though, is nearly as powerful (367 ponies) and is far lighter, at around 2,200 pounds. The BMW, meanwhile, isn't quite the track star that the lightweight Triumph Street Triple R. You'll need to check out the video to see whether two wheels or four wheels will prevail. Have a look. News Source: EVO via YouTube BMW Convertible Motorcycle Performance Videos evo

BMW recalls 6,073 units of i3 and Minis to replace airbag

Tue, Oct 20 2015

BMW is replacing the passenger's side front airbag module on 6,073 vehicles in the US because of a supplier's manufacturing issue with the part. The affected models include the: 2014-2015 i3; 2014-2016 Mini Hardtop 2 Door Cooper and Cooper S; 2015-2016 Hardtop 2 Door John Cooper Works; and 2015-2016 Hardtop 4 Door Cooper and Cooper S. Because the airbag components aren't made correctly, they might not deploy with enough restraint in a low-speed collision. BMW isn't aware of any accidents or injuries from the problem, but this is still obviously a safety concern. According to company spokesperson David Buchko to Autoblog, customers will be notified about the issue by mail in November. As always, dealers will perform the replacements at no cost to owners. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Frontal Air Bag May not Deploy Properly Report Receipt Date: OCT 07, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V628000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 6,073 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BMW I3 2014-2015 MINI COOPER 2014-2016 MINI COOPER S 2014-2016 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 2015-2016 Details Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper two-door vehicles, 2015-2016 MINI John Cooper Works and MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper four-door vehicles and 2014-2015 BMW i3 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger. REMEDY: MINI and BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525 and BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. BMW Statement: BMW has informed NHTSA of its intention to voluntarily recall approximately 923 BMW i3 vehicles to replace the passenger-side front airbag module.
