Beautiful 1988 BMW M6.  Looks great and runs great.  A classic that will never go out of style.  I have had five 2002's but always wanted a vintage 6 series.  I found this car in 2010 and have cared for it since.  Prior to my purchase the car was brought into the great shape it is in now.  The exterior was stripped and new paint applied.  The paint job is a strength of the car.  It looks like new, shines bright and draws attention to the car.  I have done my part by driving only on good weather days and keeping the car garaged.  There is no rust whatsoever that I am aware of.  


Mechanical work done before I bought the car included a new clutch, new catalytic converter, distributor cap and rotor, ignition wires and plugs, hood struts, tail lens and rear brake rotors.  Since I bought the car I have installed a new alternator, new battery, new radiator, new power steering belt and power steering gear box.  Mechanically I know of nothing that it needs.  It cranks every time and runs like a champ.  I commute about 20 miles each way and drive the car about once a week.  It is a pleasure to drive.  We recently drove to the Vintage in Winston-Salem, NC and she pulled hard the whole way.  I would take her cross-country without a second thought.

The interior is original with full white leather.  The power seats work as do the power windows and mirrors.  The AC blows strong and cold.  Living in the south that is a must.  The carpet is in good shape.  I have red and black coco mats in the floor.  They are in excellent shape.  The head-liner is original but in good shape.  There is a small crack in the dash that just happened (I don't know why since the car is never in the sun - I have included a picture).  The odometer worked when I got the car.  At that time it showed 64,750 miles.  It is not currently working but since 2010 I have put no more than 2,000 miles on the car max. 

I bought new wheels and tires last year.  They are 17" Ultra Alpine 402 wheels with 205-50-17 Nexen N5000 tires.  The tires have less than 500 miles on them.

I installed a new Kenwood receiver with SiriusXM radio, CD and aux connection for iPod.  The face detaches for theft protection.  New speakers were installed as well.

Why am I selling?  A three year "M2" project is finally finishing and I need the garage space for that special car.  Something has to go.  My lose can be your gain.

Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser and a $750.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of winning bidder.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  This is a chance to own an M car that really stands out.  As with any 25 year old car it is sold without warranty and "as is".  Happy bidding!

Plug In 2014: BMW i DC Fast Charger is poised to change the EV game

Thu, Aug 7 2014

It looks like it's just a blue box on a pole, but BMW's new i DC Fast Charger represents a much bigger deal than just the lowest-cost SAE Combo Charger on the market. BMW sees it as the key to getting more drivers into electric vehicles. As Robert Healey, the EV infrastructure manager for BMW of North America told us, "For [BMW], the future is clear. DC charging really is the future." "DC charging really is the future." – Robert Healey, BMW We spoke with Healey at the Plug-In 2014 conference in San Jose, CA last week about the promise of the new $6,548 DC fast charger. "The strategy is pretty simple," he said. "BMW wants to get as many DC Fast Chargers out there as possible. We're not in the charging business, we're in the EV business and to support the sales of our cars, we have identified some key areas: home charging, public charging and assistant services for EV drivers." That's why the first of the new blue boxes will be installed at the 285 i dealers in the US, many of whom already installed the cables needed for fast charging when they put in the Level 2 chargers, said BMW's Cliff Fietzek, manager of connected eMobility. Even if you haven't gotten a site ready for a DC fast charger, the installation costs for BMW's unit are lower because you don't need to pour concrete (for the wall unit) and the SAE Combo connector plug costs "significantly" less than the competing CHAdeMO plug, Fietzek said. One minor drawback to the BMW DC fast charger compared to the more expensive traditional, full-size DC fast chargers is that the 24kW BMW fast charger allows you to charge to 80 percent full in 30 minutes, while the bigger units can do the job in 20. The good news for EV drivers with SAE Combo cars (which, in the US, means the Chevy Spark EV and the VW e-Golf) is that any driver with a Combo plug car and a ChargePoint card will be able to use the BMW stations. In fact, BMW is talking with both GM and VW on where to install SAE Combo stations in the US so that there is minimal duplication of effort. In other places, BMW is working with other automakers, including Nissan, which uses a competing fast charging standard. "In Great Britain, we are installing triple chargers, the CHAdeMO, SAE Combo and the high-power, three-phase AC that can go up to 43 kW to support the Renault [EVs] and others," Fietzek said.

2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe officially debuts, priced from $41,425*

Fri, 14 Jun 2013

Well, that didn't take long. Less than two hours after the first images of the 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe leaked onto the Internet, we've been given the go-ahead to publish the whole kit and caboodle. And while we won't say we told you so, it looks as though the car's official details are standing true to our earlier predictions.
In other words, BMW will offer the 4 Series in 428i and 435i models, both of which can be had with xDrive all-wheel drive. Just like in the 3 Series, the 428i is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque, and the 435i gets BMW's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six making 300 hp and 300 lb-ft. In three of the four models, both a six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmission are available; the 428i xDrive can only be had with the auto 'box. The 428i (with rear-wheel drive, we assume) can hit 60 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds (though BMW doesn't specify with which transmission), and the 435i will do that same sprint in 5.3 seconds with the manual and five seconds flat with the eight-speed auto.
We've already dissected the 4 Series' visuals, but the numbers show just how different it is from the 3 Series sedan. The 4 Coupe is one-tenth of an inch longer overall, while riding on the same 110.6-inch wheelbase, is 0.6 inches wider, and has a roofline that's a full 2.7 inches closer to the ground. It looks sleek, incorporating BMW's new design language from the 3 Series with an overall profile that's similar to the larger 6 Series coupe.

BMW working on 2 Series Active Hybrid Tourer

Wed, 14 May 2014

The cover may have officially been pulled off the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer at the Geneva Motor Show, but BMW has apparently continued working on other variants behind closed doors. While at first glance this prototype looks like any other Active Tourer, the "Hybrid Test Vehicle" stickers on the passenger door and rear bumper give it away as something a little different.
Details about the hybrid Active Tourer are somewhat sketchy at the moment, but BMW indicated its likely direction for the electrified hatchback in the earlier Concept Active Tourer. It used a hybridized 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine coupled with an electric motor with a total system output of 190 horsepower and 147 pound-feet of torque. The company claimed that it had a roughly 19-mile electric range and could hit 62 miles per hour in under 8 seconds. However, the Bavarian automaker hasn't said yet whether this powertrain would be used in the production version.
The internal combustion 2 Series Active Tourer is rumored to come to the US in 2015. Given the nearly complete look of the test car, the hybrid might not be too far behind.
