1988 Bmw 635 Csi Zinnoberrot on 2040-cars
Newport, Tennessee, United States
|
You are reviewing a 1988 BMW 635CSi. The car has the tried and true 3.5L 6 cylinder engine, backed by a 4 speed automatic selectable transmission (manual, economy, sport). Power windows, locks, power seats, headrests, sunroof, air conditioning (front and rear with console cooler), factory radio, 18" Mille Miglia wheels with new (within the last month) Toyo Proxes rubber. The interior does show normal wear for a 26 year old vehicle. Driver seat bolster is torn, but doesn't affect the ride. The interior is all leather including the headliner. All driver gauges work as should and there are no service lights indicating. Recent oil change. Both fuel pumps have been replaced with new ones in the last 6 months. car runs and drives as it should. Before I got the car, the car had sat for most of the last 5 years (garaged), so a few minor problems have arose from this, mainly the transmission pan gasket is seeping (I have a new gasket just haven't installed yet) an a minor oil leak at valve cover. I drive this car a couple days a week to work (50 mile round trip) and it always brings a smile to my face. I always receive compliments on the car wherever I go. The few issues I would resolve are like I said above, the two gaskets, as well as the switch/motor for the power sunroof works intermittently (although those crafty Germans built in a manual crank if needed), the driver door needs new plastic clips and the radio antenna needs inspection as it was not extending when I got the car, and I rebuilt it with new gears, and it still doesn't extend, the ac is not working as of this moment and will need a few lines hooked back up. It does blow, just not cold (since the lines aren't connected and charged). The temperature selector (dial) needs the pivot arm replaced (I have this as well) and the passenger outer door handle rod has come loose ( I have the suspected broken piece for this as well.) All in all, this is a true beauty. Today, as in recent years, many people look to the 635CSi as the last great styling design from BMW, as its classic stature still rings beautiful to this day. Item is for sale locally, so auction may be ended at any time. |

Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head
Mon, 06 May 2013BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.
2015 BMW X6 M First Drive [w/video]
Wed, Feb 4 2015Please forgive my bluntness, and allow me to cut to the heart of the X6-dissenter argument right at the top. Yes, BMW will sell you a 2015 BMW X5 M that is the motive twin (I assume) of the X6 M you're here to read about, that is also cheaper, roomier, and more conventional in appearance. For many of you – especially the old guard that hears the descriptor "Sports Activity Coupe" and proceeds to unlock the gun cabinet – that's all you need to hear. Because, although the fickle community that consumes and comments on internet car culture seems to be fine with typical-looking SUVs and wagons packing performance-enhancing goodies, the idea of slanting the back of one turns them right off. And yet, BMW continues to sell the things; more than 250,000 units have be delivered in the X6 series' history. As if that weren't proof of concept enough, blood-rival Mercedes-Benz has unleashed the GLE, a coupe-like crossover of its own, complete with AMG pedigree. All of this brought me to Austin, TX, home of Hill Country, The Circuit of the Americas and the 2015 X6 M launch. On both road and track I found a car that was more powerful and blithely capable than ever, while also being exactly as weird to drive as it is a concept to comprehend. Given that the X5 M exists, and offers styling that is more like normal for the SUV genre, both the lovers and the haters of the X6 M are likely to be focused on the way it looks. Here, the 2015 model isn't very much changed from the original, meaning you aren't liable to change sides on the styling debate for this refresh. The '15 model has a slightly fewer black accents on the exterior, along with revised front and rear fasciae and vented (and chromed) front fender gills. The car is almost two inches longer than the existing model, but is near enough the same size in every other direction that you'd have to study the specification sheet to know different. Inside the X6 M that I tested was a beautiful, fully optioned cabin that boasted gripping sport seats and BMW's wide, easy-to-read infotainment screen. The leather-wrapped everything and carbon-fiber trim were both well executed, and my hands rejoiced at the feeling of the thick-rimmed, serious-looking steering wheel. Veterans of the current M5 or M6 will see a lot that looks familiar here, but to my eyes that's high praise. The most impactful changes aren't visual but visceral.
BMW recalling nearly 570,000 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 models over electrical issue
Mon, 18 Feb 2013BMW is recalling roughly 570,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada due to faulty battery cable connectors that can fail, causing the engines in these cars to stall. Of the nearly 570,000 affected vehicles, just over 504,000 are here in the US.
The affected vehicles include 1 Series coupes and convertibles (both 128i and 135i) from the 2008 to 2011 model years; 3 Series sedans, coupes, convertibles and sport wagons (both 328i and 335i) from the 2007 to 2011 model years; and Z4 roadsters from the 2009 to 2011 model years.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "the connector for the positive battery cable connector and the corresponding terminal on the fuse box may degrade over time," which can eventually lead to a break in the electrical connection and a loss of power in the vehicle. If the car loses power, the engine can stall, which could possibly lead to a crash. The Detroit News reports that BMW knows of one minor collision in Canada as a result of this problem, but no injuries.
