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 -

BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.

BMW revises X1 to tide it over until replacement

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

It's been over five years since BMW first introduced the X1 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a bit over a year since it brought the compact crossover to these shores. Soon the Bavarian automaker will replace the X1 with a new model based on the company's new front-drive architecture, but not before it gives it a few updates to keep it fresh.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month alongside the Z4 Pure Fusion Design and the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe, the enhanced X1 benefits from some new exterior accents, a spruced-up interior and new technology packed inside.
New air intakes in the bumper and integrated daytime driving lights distinguish the front end, with new wheel and color options available. Inside, certain versions get a new dashboard treatment, among other minor trim updates, and BMW has installed its latest ConnectedDrive suite to keep it up with the times. Scroll down for the full details.

BMW offering Track Handling Package for 2 Series

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.
