I said I would never do it but I am selling my beloved 1989 635csi. If you are interested in a 635csi, then you know this was the last model year. The interior is basically an L6 with leather on lower dash, door panels and seats. I have owed and cared for this E24 for about 5 years, and it was previously owned by a fellow club member. This is an excellent example of an unmolested e24. It is not a show car but a very clean and well maintained occasional driver. I drive it about 1 weekend a month to keep it fresh and maintained. Then it is washed and put back under the water proof cover, which is included. This car gets a lot of attention everywhere I go. Obviously everywhere I take it someone wants to buy it. I will be as detailed as I can to illustrate the condition of the car.

The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are very presentable and serviceable inside and out. Upon close inspection some hazing is noticeable  these are the flaws, that are noticeable upon close inspection:

  1. Some hazing in the paint on the passenger side. The hazing is not noticeable at a distance and is common with these cars. It is not detectable in the pictures. By checking the door jambs, it appears to have been repainted some time ago, repaint was professionally done. It does have a few very small nicks from road use, but there is no damage on the car. I had the spoiler repaired and repainted about 6 months ago as there was a crack in the very center. It now has a small abrasion on the lower lip (thanks to my son), that is not very noticeable. There is no damage to the spoiler. There is a small paint imperfection on the lower edge of the trunk - I tried to capture it in the picture but it is not noticeable. 
  2. The onboard computer works but the backlight is out. I have a replacement light that is included.
  3. One of the climate control sliders is broken. I have a complete excellent condition center unit that will be included. I just haven't had time to replace it.
  4. The A/C was professionally converted to r134 in 2013 and work excellent; front and rear.
  5. All dash gauges work and there are no check lights on.
  6. There are no cracks on the dash or seats. The driver's seat has sheepskin cover installed. It shows normal wear, but there are no tears or cracks. There is sheepskin for the passenger seat that has not been installed, but is included. 
  7. The headliner is in good condition with no sagging or tears.

The following Non OEM upgrades have been done:

  1. Lowered suspension with Bilstein shocks/struts and sport springs.
  2. B&B stainless steel catback exhaust.
  3. 17" OEM BMW 3 piece wheels - The wheels are in good condition and not bent. Upon close inspection there is some minor hazing in the clear coat.
  4. Window tint (not real dark but the maximum UV blockage
  5. Front Strut bar.

The car rides on Continental Extreme Contacts that have about 15k miles on them, so there is plenty of thread left. As you can see this is a 5 speed and it is original and rare. This is car that is ready to drive anywhere. NADA describes good condition as "an older restoration or a well-maintained original vehicle. Completely operable. A 20-footer." This 635csi is above average condition. I ran CARFAX and it adjusts the NADA retail up $920. I have set my Buy Now at a very fair price. If she doesn't sell I am content to keep it as it will only increase in value.

For the Buy Now price I will include new front suspension parts I bought about a year ago because just wanted to replace them. However, my technician said they were not needed. Included are R&L tire rods, sway bar links, center link, R&L / upper and lower strut rods.

Behind the Scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 2 [w/video]

Tue, 01 Jul 2014

After spending four days practicing about a dozen drift stunt moves in a parking lot for an upcoming BMW "Drift Mob" internet mini-film, Rhys Millen, Sam Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald are finally ready for show time. We are brought to the huge urban traffic circle to see the stunts performed midway through the day to observe for a couple of hours.
The undertaking is massive, with multiple cameras set up, scores of crew members, a helicopter filming from above, a rigged pickup for car-to-car shots, sidewalks lined with security and plenty of curious onlookers, and oh, yeah, a major intersection of a top world city shut down for an entire weekend.
The five drifting legends are nestled in their identical red BMW M235i coupes, which have been modified with special handbrakes but essentially nothing else you can't get on a stock version, and are listening to direction from director Mic Rodgers and stunt coordinator Riley Harper. We're basically given free rein of the set, to shoot the cars, the drivers, and at one point, even hopping in with Yoshihara for one of the admittedly more tame stunts. Even then, the g-forces are so severe that they flip our cameraphone's video recording from landscape mode to portrait. Yes, this is a pretty cool day to be reporting on cars, and as we said during our first installment of our behind the scenes coverage of Drift Mob, we're honored to be the only US media outlet here to tell the tale.

Why BMW doesn't plan to integrate Apple's iOS in the Car

Wed, 12 Jun 2013

While watching Apple introduce iOS in the Car during its WWDC keynote on Monday, we wondered how automakers, even the 14 who've already signed up to integrate this new in-car functionality of iOS 7, will feel about having the Cupertino company's mobile operating system supplant their own in-car systems. After all, some OEMs like Ford, General Motors and many luxury automakers have sunk millions of dollars into developing their own advanced infotainment, navigation and communication platforms like MyFord Touch, CUE and older systems like iDrive.
One automaker has now spoken up. A BMW spokeperson was interviewed by someone in the news department of British auto dealer group Arnold Clark and confirmed that the company would not be getting in line to integrate iOS in the Car anytime soon. The reason, as we suspected, is that BMW believes its own products developed over the last decade are both plenty good and already so deeply integrated with other systems of the car that, as told to Arnold Clark, "it would not be that straightforward to start changing all of the architecture of a car as has been implied [by Apple]."
While BMW isn't interested in spending more money to integrate Apple's services and functionality over its own, it has spent a good bit already to integrate iPhone functionality in its cars, including the relatively rare ability to support iPod Out and display Apple's own interface on Mini models with the optional Mini Connected feature, as well as committing to integrate Siri 'Eyes Free' functionality.

Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year

Thu, 14 Nov 2013

Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
