I purchased my first BMW E24 635csi back in 1993 and took care of it for more than 21 years. At the 19 year mark
my original 635csi was joined by this stunning M6 which I picked up almost 3 years ago. I searched for almost 6
months to find this pampered M6 which was originally located in Nashville, Tennessee. So yes this M6 has never
been driven in Northeast salt and has been garaged ever since. Think of this car as being from the South and only
recently transplanted to the Northeast.
As I got to know the E24 when I received this M6 i quickly applied many of my original upgrades on my original 6 to
this M6. Modern amenities such as Xenon/HID headlights, an Alpine stereo with Bluetooth / Pandora / iphone support
with meaningfully improved German Helix speakers. Note that the integrated Pandora and iPod support only works with
IOS7 and earlier so if you are on IOS8 it won't work unless you hotspot to an ipod touch / earlier iPhone 4/5 with
pre IOS7, which is what I ended up doing once the iphone 6/6+ came out with IOS8. I also upgraded to remote power
locks since it's quite embarrassing to have to manually use the key to open your car door in the year 2015 plus the
heated key door locks are prone to wearing out and breaking and are expensive to repair.
Even though I wanted to see the road clearer with HID (Xenon) headlights leveraging the focused beam lenses that
came standard with 88 & 89 6 series, I didn't appreciate getting blinded by bright headlights following me. Hence
the need to install an LCD rearview dimming mirror. Since I also backed up into my garage I wanted to maximize my
back-up visibility and so I had the best back-up camera system installed which beeps and shows exactly whats behind
/ below / beside the rear of the car. This is exactly the kind that you'd find in a car more than 25 years newer.
Since an '88 M6 does not have room in the dashboard for a big integrated display I went with integrating it into
the rear view mirror display which by the way also has integrated bluetooth handsfree audio support for your
smartphone.
Since it's a known fact that if a car as stunning as this is driving 10 miles above the speed limit vs. non-head
turners, this car for sure will get pulled over by the police. Given this I had the Laser Interceptor
professionally installed which is essentially a Laser Radar jammer. Normally when the police/radar/speed camera
hits this car -

Car subscription services: A slow, expensive start — but the potential is huge

Wed, Dec 26 2018

Americans are used to paying for subscriptions — to magazines and cable television, for instance — but experience shows they'll cancel when the price of admission gets too high, or there are more tempting alternatives. Cord cutters ditched nearly 1.5 million pay-TV subscriptions in 2017, according to a survey by Leichtman Research Group. Cable TV started out cheap with basic offerings, and then got expensive. The auto industry's subscription offerings are new, but they're starting out costly, and not price-competitive with traditional leasing. The upside is that they take the hassle out of car ownership for busy people by letting the service take care of maintenance, insurance, licensing and taxes. And they give consumers choice, often allowing relatively painless switches between different cars in the automakers' lineup. Subscription services also point the way toward an ownership-free auto experience, and offer an easy transition to a potential world where ride- and car-sharing will be dominant. Subscriptions are here to stay, but consumers may take a while to "get" them. Lincoln's subscription service for lightly used 2015 to 2017 models, offered through the Ford-owned Canvas beginning this year, got off to a slow start. Many early subscribers canceled. Last month, Cadillac announced it would " temporarily pause" its $1,800-per-month Book subscription service for "adjustments" as of December 1. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Snags with the back-end technology used to support the service made some customer-service functions tedious and time-consuming, adding costs for the company." The challenge for automakers is to come up with a strategy that offers consumers a compelling, affordable option to regular ownership, and one that can also make a profit. I think they'll find that sweet spot, but they're not there yet. Jack Nerad, former executive editorial director at Kelley Blue Book and author of " The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying or Leasing a Car," points out that "A lot of people expected that subscriptions would be very valuable for people who wanted inexpensive transportation, but the reality is quite the opposite. Subscriptions are offering more choices for the wealthy.

BMW ups i3 production to 100 units a day to meet demand

Wed, Apr 23 2014

To reverse the old Field of Dreams quote, they are coming, so BMW is building them. All indications are that US demand for the BMW i3 plug-in will be larger than initially expected. As a result, the automaker is upping production at its German factor by more than 50 percent in advance of stateside sales, Automotive News says, citing BMW boardmember Harald Krueger. BMW has started making about 100 i3s a day, up from its previous daily rate of about 70 units. So far, BMW, which is expected to begin sales of the i3 in the US later this month, has made about 5,000 i3s. BMW spokesman Dave Buchko confirmed in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen that the company was boosting production of the i3 based not only on US demand but on worldwide demand, but he declined to be specific about BMW's new production rate. BMW started selling the i3 in Europe in November and had racked up a six-month waiting list by early February. Last month, Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the board of management for BMW, estimated that the company would be making a cool 100,000 i3s a year by the end of the decade, and that the global automotive market would support that production level.

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
