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.

BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater

Mon, 19 Aug 2013


BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.

BMW X6 M said to lap the 'Ring in 8:20

Fri, Jul 17 2015

Bimmer Today reports that the German rag Auto Zeitung ran an Audi RS3 and a BMW X6 M around the Nurburgring together, and the hotted-up sports activity vehicle came in just five seconds behind the white-hot hatch. Driven by 'Ring regular Horst von Saurma, the RS3 ran its lap in 8 minutes, 15 seconds, and the X6 M ran an 8:20. If those times are accurate, that makes the X6 M the second fastest production SUV on the lap-time list according to Wikipedia: ahead of it is the 550-hp Range Rover Sport SVR, which ran a time of 8:14. That time puts BMW's 575-horsepower, 5,200-pound SUV four seconds ahead of the time registered by the last-gen, 555-hp X6 M, and well ahead of the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S that Sport Auto clocked an 8:34 with. It would not, however, match the predictions that X6 M project manager Herbert Bayerl made for it in an interview with Sport Auto earlier this year. Bayerl said "The new BMW X6 M moves at the level of M3," speaking of the E92 BMW M3 that Sport Auto ran around the 'Ring in 8:05. It is, though, two seconds faster than the E46 M3, which lapped in 8:22. Bayerl called out the Range Rover Sport SVR directly, saying, "We have been traveling much faster in testing and have undercut the time of Range Rover several times," and "We don't need any special attachments to go faster." Auto Zeitung's report on the lap is only for subscribers so we'll have to wait for more official news. For the apples-to-apples comparison we'll be looking forward to Sport Auto's hot lap, then we'll know if the Range Rover has anything to fear. Related Video:

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.
