Here is a rare, fast and desirable Euro 635csi (E24). Use as a daily driver before it was listed for sale. For the purpose of California Registration, the car is currently registered as an 1984, but is believed to be a 83. Motor/Trans: Runs Great, and is very strong! Compression test taken on 7/19/2013 indicated: #1cyl 185, #2 190, #3 190,#4 185, #5 185, #6 190. Miles are unknown, due to odometer not working. Car has the coveted rare 5 speed "Dog-Leg" racing transmission. AC blows cold, but not efficient as late model cars, compressor is a bit loud. Car steers strait, appears to have been lowered when I purchased it. Mechanic noted the muffler hanger is broken, and causing rattle. Wheels are 16x8.5 BBS from a BMW 840i. Tires appear to be good for a few more thousands miles. The brakes need service. The indicator light is now on and the brakes are starting to get mushy. Although there is no grinding or noise, they should be checked out. Body/Interior: Very close for paint! Body is strait, no noted dings, doors latches need a little adjusting, passenger door handle needs adjusting and has to be opened from the inside, trunk lid does not stay up. Electric: All exterior lights/signals work. Interior lights work, but tachometer is reading incorrectly, Odometer not working, and speedometer seems a tad slow. All windows go up/down, passenger window gets stuck on the way up and needs a little pull to get it up, does not have a stereo. This car is from California and clean w/No Rust what so ever! Trunk/floors, rockers, fender wells, shock towers, cross members, frame door hinges are all in excellent condition! I started removing some molding for paint prep, I have all the moldings, but do not have fog lights, or side-marker lights. The rear is also missing the corner rubber pieces that rap around the 3 piece rubber molding that sits just above the rear bumper. The interior is in very good shape! No rips in seats (leatherette front/ original leather rear), needs back speaker boxes, needs carpet patches back on the doors, dash and windshield are cracked. Note: This is a very rare collectors item, and climbing in value! Major service totaling $1,748: included compression test, valve adjustment, plugs, gasket rings, rubber seals, oil and filter, and air conditioning service was completed on 7/19/2013.
Note: Cash, Cashiers check or PayPal only. A minimum of $500 due within 24 hours at the close of auction. Balance due within 3 days following auction close. Thanks

Upcoming new BMW X6 leaks out ahead of full reveal

Thu, 05 Jun 2014

The X5 may have been the first BMW crossover on the market when it arrived in 2000, opening the door to more high-riding Bavarians to follow, but it's been replaced twice over now. The X3 is on its second generation, and with the X1 having been introduced in 2009 and the X4 soon to hit showrooms, that makes the X6 - introduced in 2008 - the oldest crossover in the BMW lineup. But it won't be for much longer.
Soon BMW will reveal the all-new X6, based on the latest X5 but with that tell-tale slanted roofline. But before it gets the chance, a handful of images have leaked their way all over the Internet to give us an advance look at what to expect.
The overall shape of the new X6 comes across as familiar, if a bit less of an awkward take on the vehicle that (for better or worse) launched the crossover coupe segment. Up front the twin kidney grilles and headlights are larger, in keeping with the latest BMW design language, and the bumper less horizontal and more dynamic. Towards the back there's a sharp crease above the wheel arch blending into the more rakishly shaped tail lights, while the metallic vent behind the front wheel arch lends the flank an even sportier appearance.

BMW announces M235i xDrive, 7 Series Exclusive among summer upgrades

Tue, 13 May 2014

Like any automaker worth its lug-nuts, BMW is constantly striving to improve its products. And so it has announced a series of upgrades for the summer - none of them revolutionary, but a couple of them notable.
For one, the Bavarian automaker has announced that is is offering xDrive traction on the M235i coupe, a model that has been available until now only in rear-drive configuration. The all-wheel drive version comes with the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 326 horsepower (320 in the US market) and eight-speed automatic transmission as the rear-drive version, but now channels that power to all four wheels for a 0-62 time quoted at 4.6 seconds - two little ticks quicker than the existing version. It's the first time that all-wheel drive is being offered on the 2 Series, and will also be fitted on the convertible - at least, that is, in Europe. We're waiting on confirmation of North American availability.
Among the other announcements is a special edition of BMW's flagship luxury sedan. The 7 Series Exclusive Edition upgrades with metallic paint, 19-inch V-spoke alloys, Nappa leather upholstery and a leather-trimmed instrument panel. Buyers will also be able to opt for the Merino fine grain leather and Alcantara roof lining from the BMW Individual catalog, and choose between any available engine or either wheelbase lengths.

This Or That: 1980 Oldsmobile 442 vs. 1989 BMW 635CSi [w/poll]

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

The last time I roped a coworker into an automotive debate, I lost. Resoundingly, I might add. Still, 2,385 voters chose to cast their lots for the Fiat 500 Abarth, as opposed to 5,273 choosing the Ford Fiesta ST, and so I can rest easy in the knowledge that at least 30 percent of you, dear readers, see things my way. I still like to think we have more fun, too.
My loss in the first round of our This or That series, in which two Autoblog editors pick sides on any given topic and then attempt to explain why the other is completely wrong, didn't stop me from picking another good-natured fight, this time with Senior Editor Seyth Miersma. Last time, our chosen sides were eerily similar in design, albeit quite different in actual execution. This time, our vehicular peculiarities couldn't seemingly fall any further from one another: A 1980 Oldsmobile 442 wouldn't seem to match up in comparison to a 1989 BMW 635CSi.
How did we come up with such disparate contenders? Simple, really. Seyth and I mutually agreed to choose a car that's currently for sale online. It had to be built and sold in the 1980s, and it had to be a coupe. The price cap was set at $10,000. The fruits of our searching labors will henceforth be disputed, with Seyth on the side of the Germans, and myself arguing in favor of the Rocket Olds. Am I setting myself up for another lopsided loss?
