1988 Bmw M6 on 2040-cars
Willows, California, United States
Original window sticker and dealer invoice as well as the certification from BMW Group Classic Archives-Munich Germany.
Engine bay was de-cosmoline’d with full cosmetic restoration (just about everything was either replaced, re-plated, or powder coated)
ENGINE:
• Removed all cosmoline from engine bay.
• Replaced all hoses; power steering, heater, fuel lines, etc. All replacement parts are OEM BMW down to the hose clamps. Also had the air box, valve cover & air plenum soda blasted and powder-coated.
• Replaced coolant reservoir/cap & washer reservoir/cap along with new windshield washer lines and clamps.
• Mechanical work included fresh oil & filter, new power steering fluid & filter, flush and refill coolant (OEM BMW), checked valve lash (All within spec).
• Very rare, impossible to find new original black Purolator air filter, shown in the pictures.
BODY:
• This is an original TX car, always been garaged and never smoked in. I have never driven it in the rain. There is absolutely no rust and the paint is in excellent condition with just a few nits and picks around the gorgeous body. No accidents or body work, however the previous owner had the front airdam and hood repainted due to stone chips. The repaint looks excellent and is two stage with clear coat.
INTERIOR:
• The interior was in excellent condition when I bought it with only some minor wear on the drivers seat. The original dash is in excellent condition with no cracks. The rear deck & speaker pods are also in excellent condition with no warping. There are only slight signs of wear on the front drivers seat and there is a small tear on the driver’s side door armrest. The rest of the interior is in immaculate condition.
• Euro ashtray delete/storage tray (I have the original ashtray which will go with the car).
DRIVETRAIN:
• The drivetrain is in excellent condition with a smooth shifting Getrag 280 5 speed and limited slip differential. Trans. & Diff. fluid is fresh with Redline oils. New clutch and Auto Solutions shift kit (reduces throw distance by about 30%).
SUSPENSION & STEERING:
• Completely gone through. Front suspension has new upper & lower control arms, center link, bushings and struts (Bilstein). Also, the steering box was upgraded with Ed Reather's (M Wrench) steering box reinforcement kit professionally welded in. Rear auto leveling suspension was rebuilt with new accumulators and lines and works perfect. Originally I was going to delete the original self leveling rear suspension but the original SLS shocks were in great shape with no leaks so I kept it original. Included is a rear suspension SLS delete kit with M-Tech springs, Bilstein shocks, and hardware.
• Period correct and very rare BBS RS wheels in 16"x7" wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE750 225/50 tires. The BBS's are show quality condition and the Bridgestones have less than 1,000 miles on them. I also restored the original TRX wheels wrapped in the original style Michelin TRX GT tires (about 25% tread left) and these are included with the car.
BRAKES:
• Brakes have been freshened with new front rotors, Pagid pads and Stop Tech SS brake lines. Front calipers were rebuilt and re-plated in original cadmium plating. Accumulator (AKA Brake Bomb) was replaced. Rear brakes are stock and in excellent condition.

Jaguar Land Rover to drop supercharged V8 for turbocharged BMW power
Wed, Jul 27 2016There are few things that sound as good as Jaguar's 5.0 liter supercharged V8. As great as it is when the supercharger whines or the exhaust cracks and pops on throttle lift-off as the air pressure equalizes, the basic design dates back to the '90s. Plainly, the engine isn't as efficient as it needs to be, but designing a new V8 from the ground up is an expensive proposition. Instead, Automobile reports that Jaguar Land Rover is set to use a twin-turbocharged V8s supplied by BMW. Scalable architecture is all the rage as automakers streamline designs in order to save costs. For example, Jaguar's current supercharged V6 is quite literally a V8 with two holes missing. They didn't even change the length of the block. It seems both of those designs are on their way out, with the V6 being replaced by a inline-six closely related to the company's inline four. It seems that rather than designing an new and expensive V8 for their top of the line models JLR, is sourcing from BMW. From 1994 to 2000, BMW owned Land Rover. A few models, including the Land Rover Range Rover, used BMW engines then and in the initial years of Ford's JLR stewardship. It seems things have now come full circle. BMW currently makes a twin-turbo 4.4 liter V8 that produces anywhere from 440 to 600 horsepower, depending on the application. Automobile says that a new 4.0 liter V8 is in the works and that it will most likely be the engine that JLR uses. Expect it to be more powerful, more fuel efficient, and lighter than what both BMW and JLR currently offer. This seems like a win for both companies. BMW gets to offset the cost of a new motor while JLR, a smaller company, doesn't have to invest in a whole new architecture. As automakers search for ways to cut costs, expect collaborations like this to continue. Infiniti and Mercedes-Benz both share a four-cylinder engine. Ford and GM have worked together to design a shared 10-speed automatic. While we may lament the loss of that wonderful Jaguar Land Rover engine, we can still be happy that they haven't abandoned the V8.

Mini Countryman PHEV caught at electric watering hole
Fri, Jul 15 2016Our spy photographers have once again found the next generation Mini Countryman out testing in the wild. This time, they caught it replenishing its thirst for electrons. Although we knew some sort of hybrid Countryman was coming, this confirms its existence and plug-in capabilities beyond any reasonable doubt. Like the rest of the Mini lineup, this new Countryman will be noticeably larger than its predecessor. It also appears to feature a larger, more aggressive grille and lower intake vents. Other than that, the car appears to be quite evolutionary in design. Our spy photographers expect the plug-in hybrid Countryman to debut in 2019 powered by a combination of the 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder and an electric motor. We have also predicted that the gasoline engine could power the front wheels while the electric motor (or motors) powers the rear wheels, which together could provide all-wheel-drive and 240 horsepower.

BMW offers M Performance Power Kit for 2012 335i sedan
Thu, 28 Mar 2013BMW has let loose a new M Performance Power Kit for its F30-generation 335i and 335i xDrive sedans. Starting at $1,100 for the kit - installation is extra - your car will be fitted with a new ECU and air intake on the functional side and an M Performance engine cover and rocker panel stickers on the decorative side. The Power Kit raises the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder's horsepower rating from 300 to 320, and on automatic models, torque gets a boost from 300 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft - manual transmission models get a smaller bump to 317 lb-ft.
According to the Bavarian automaker, you'll be able to hear the change in the overrun exhaust note, and 0-60 mile-per-hour times drop by 0.2 seconds. The package is available now at all BMW Centers in the US, and if you get it installed when you purchase the car new, it will get the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as the vehicle. Have it done after the fact and the kit will be warranted for two years and unlimited miles. There's a press release below with some more details.
