Absolutely Beautiful 1986 Bmw 635csi Coupe on 2040-cars
Nevada City, California, United States
|
I always told myself that I would own a BMW 6 series with a 5 speed at some point in my life, so when it came time to buy one... I searched for the best! This is an absolutely stunning example of a Bronzitbeige 1986 BMW 635csi. It has the very rare 5 speed manual transmission (only 270 imported to America from 1985 to 1989) and is being sold as part of my private collection in Nevada City CA. The car has 152,000 loved miles on it and looks like it was purchased new last year. I have had two other high end collectors recently tell me that it is the nicest one they have ever seen. The Bronzit Beige with tan leather is breathtaking. This car was ordered fully loaded (over $50,000) and has the very special BMW power adjustable sport seats (few of these do). It is completely stock and intact plus the addition of these items... An absolutely perfect set of BMW 850 wheels with newer Yokohama S Drive 225-50-16 tires, Dinan chip installed (comes with original chip), short shift kit installed, M6 rear end with LSD (limited slip differential) and a new Sony blue tooth/cd stereo unit (original stereo included). It has been meticulously maintained for the last 15 years by Bavarian Professionals in Oakland CA where it was taken twice a year to be given a full inspection and regular scheduled maintenance. The speedometer quit at 126,000 miles (common problem with 635's) and now shows 26,000 miles on the new one. This was all properly performed and documented by Bavarian Professionals and the car now retains a legal speedometer replacement sticker in the driver door jamb. I have also included photos of the few imperfections I could find on the interior. The exterior is near perfect with only a few small rock chips. A brand new Interstate battery was installed this week and it will have the fluids changed directly before it goes to its new owner. I will be happy to send a photo of the current smog report to help show the amazingly tight running condition of the engine. The car comes with its original owners manuals and BMW cassette deck cleaning kit.
This 635 has been adult owned by a professional driver and mostly used as a Show/Touring vehicle with the occasional spirited drive showing total respect to the car. It has NOT been driven hard and shows no signs of hard use externally or mechanically. This beauty has been a fantastic and rare gem to own and I am sad to see it go. My recent move from a larger shop makes for rather cramped conditions at the moment and I now feel ready to let the car live the next phase of its life with a hopefully very excited new owner! Come see in person and invite your mechanic if you like. This car will not disappoint! Please call me with ANY questions at 530-559-6518. Thanks for looking! |

Dinan S3-R BMW 1M Coupe
Wed, 02 Apr 2014I nearly shed tears a few years ago upon learning that BMW was only planning to produce a very limited quantity of its then-new 2011 1 Series M Coupe. In simplest terms, the two-door was a 1 Series fitted with a modified version of the automaker's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, and the running gear (gearbox, driveshaft, axles) from contemporary M3 models. It was also a return to form for the brand. Aggressively short and stubby in stature but packing telltale flared wheel arches that hinted at its potential, the four-seater was a spiritual successor to the original (and much loved) E30 M3 from decades earlier.
After spending a day with the original high-performance 1 at New York's Monticello Motor Club, I declared, "The little coupe with the big flares is old-school retro cool and deliciously fun to drive ... the new BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't target boy-racers, it targets enthusiasts." Yet sadly - and despite strong demand - BMW limited the model's production to just one year. All told, only 740 units made it to the States, and each was gobbled up at a starting price of $46,135, a price tag history will show to be a bargain.
Since I had little hope of even driving one again, I deliberately pushed all memories of BMW's 1 Series M Coupe from my mind - until my phone rang recently. On the other end was a representative from Dinan Engineering who wanted to know if I would be interested in driving the company's new S3-R BMW 1M. A quick Google search revealed it to be a heavily modified version of the discontinued 1 Series M Coupe. As if they needed an answer...
First BMW i8 in US to be auctioned off at Pebble Beach
Sat, Jul 26 2014Snag yourself a BMW i8 at the upcoming Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Weekend and you won't only be the first in the US to own this model, you'll be getting a one-of-a-kind version of BMW's new gas-electric plug-in marvel. The special i8 will come with a special exterior paint color (called Frozen Grey Metallic) as well as a modified Pure Impulse Tera World interior that has "Concours d'Elegance Edition" etched in and comes with "Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery, which is tanned using dye derived from plant extracts." Tell all your treehugger friends. The 2014 BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition also has laser headlights (as long as BMW gets government approval for them in the US) and comes with the first BMW Charging Station, professional edition. The standard i8 starts at $135,700 and Gooding & Company expects the special i8 to bring in between $150,000 and $200,000 at the auction. We'll find out Saturday, August 16. As a bonus, there's no reserve. The Concours d'Elegance is not a complete stranger to electric vehicles, hosting an EV display at the Meadow Brook Concours in suburban Detroit last year.

Are you the 2016 BMW M2?
Wed, 21 May 2014From the looks of these spy shots, BMW is back testing the hotter version of the M235i, the M2. We first brought you pictures of the lightly disguised coupe a few weeks back. While those original shots were on the road, it would seem that BMW has transitioned its testing to the Nürburgring.
Here, we get a better look at the M2 prototype's M-spec wheels. This particular car is missing the traditional quadruple exhausts that serve as an easy identifier for BMW M products, although our spies report that the tips, along with a more assertive front fascia, will arrive when the M2 makes its production debut.
We can't yet confirm any powertrain details, but previous rumors had the M2 getting its go from a tuned version of the brand's N55 turbocharged inline-six. Take a look up top for this latest round of spy photos of the BMW M2.
