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.

NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.

BMW recalling nearly 570,000 1 Series, 3 Series and Z4 models over electrical issue

Mon, 18 Feb 2013

BMW 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.

BMW planning six-cylinder i9 hybrid to celebrate centenary?

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

On the prospect of a new BMW M1 based on the company's new i8 hybrid, the jury has been in and out so much that we can't even tell which way it's likely to go. However, the latest reports coming in from Germany suggest that BMW may have something else up its sleeves. Rather than make a conventional gas-powered version of the i8, Germany's Auto Motor und Sport says BMW will make a more powerful one.
Tentatively dubbed i9, the hybrid sports car is rumored to pack a six-cylinder internal-combustion engine instead of the i8's turbo three. Coupled to more potent electric motors, it would figure to produce even more than the 357 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque already on tap in the i8, with further weight reductions to offset the bulkier engine.
Auto Motor und Sport says the mooted model will be produced to celebrate the Bavarian automaker's 100th anniversary and eclipse the i8's performance, with a projected 0-60 run in under four seconds en-route to taking the gloves off to crunch the Autobahn in electric bliss. The new i flagship would be another member of the company's growing electrified family, joining the existing i3 hatchback, upcoming i5 minivan and possible i8 Spyder down the line.
