THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in good to very good, 99% rust-free condition overall. The repaint of four years ago and $3,000 was not then, nor is it now concourse. It is a presentable ten-foot original color respray over a very clean, near perfectly rust-free body. It is fairly nice and under closer inspection you will find some minor blemishe, nicks, overspray and scratches here and there. The original small chrome euro bumpers and trim are in still decent condition. The rear license plate has been trimmed to fit the rear valance. The nice clean 18" wheels give the car a great stance [fair to good tires].  

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this turbo 6er shark is in very good to excellent condition overall! It sports a PRISTINE, 99.9% crack-free dash, excellent door panels, clean black leather electric "comfort" seats, redone headliner, nice original carpeting with ALL of the gauges and controls working as they should! NOTE: You may choose the electric black leather M6 sport seats instead of the comfor seats. see photo link. Also in addition to the Nardi sport wheel you may have the original three-spoke steering wheel.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic 635CSi TURBO is FABULOUS TO DRIVE! With approximately 350 horsepower on tap with similar torque numbers, this car accelerates very well with great verve. Check out the little acceleration video pitted againts the Dinan turbo E28 which is rated at about 380 horsepower. It is definitely faster than an E24 M6! The engine starts right up with nice growl and turbo sounds when driving. The suspension is firm but not punishing with excellent responsive steering, the transmission [NOT gogleg] is smooth and grind-free shifting. This is a truly satisfying car to drive with very nice presence on the road!

New BMW i3-like Visio.M EV concept uses lightweight resin

Tue, Oct 21 2014

It's not a new version of the BMW i3, but an updated version of a lightweight concept car from SABIC, BMW, the Technical University of Munich, Daimler and others does bear a certain resemblance to the well-designed plug-in city car. From the black "glass" in the hatch to the angled line tail lights to the up-and-down window line, you can see a sort of family resemblance (see an i3 comparison photo here). And, of course, they both have an electric powertrain. But the changes made to the new lightweight urban electric concept vehicle is more of an exercise in what's possible rather than a way to evolve the i3 and i8 into a broader i family of vehicles. Even so, what we see here is interesting, since SABIC found all sorts of new ways to take weight out of the car as part of the Visio.M (Visionary Mobility) project, which was first announced in 2012. Let's start with the window material, which as you might guess from the quotation marks above, is not made of glass but is instead SABIC's Lexan polycarbonate (PC) resin plastic. The lower weight (the PC helps shed about 29 pounds) adds two miles of range while the PC resin has better thermal conductivity compared to glass and so does even more because the HVAC system can be more efficient. According to SABIC's computational fluid dynamics analysis, an extra 9-10 miles of range, in fact. Without the battery, this concept weighs just 992 pounds. Remember, BMW already made a lot of weight-reduction measures in the i3 thanks to carbon fiber reinforced plastic, so to make the "glass" lighter would only help boost efficiencies on a production vehicle that uses a resin like this. Read more below. SABIC's LEXAN™ resin delivers weight savings and thermal efficiency for new ultra-lightweight electric car concept developed by BMW-led Visio.M Consortium Munich, October 20, 2014 Today, at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), BMW, Daimler, TUM scientists and a consortium of industry participants showcased a lightweight urban electric concept vehicle with various advances, including an all-plastic design of the car's windows. The windows are made of LEXAN resin, a polycarbonate (PC) material, and coating technologies from SABIC, a leading developer of PC glazing for automotive windows and many other thermoplastic solutions for the automotive industry.

BMW Vision Future Luxury arrives in Beijing dressed to the nines

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Almost two weeks ago, we reported that BMW may be bringing a concept to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show that could herald a flagship 9 Series model that would be better suited to do battle with the tip-top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range than the current 7 Series. Well, here it is. This is the Vision Future Luxury Concept, and straight away, it looks suited to the role of ultra-luxury flagship.
In our original story, we reported that the Beijing concept would wear styling similar to the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe that was shown in Villa d'Este nearly a year ago. Unlike that car, the Vision Future Luxury sports four doors, although its roofline plunges aggressively enough for it to be considered a four-door coupe. That doesn't mean it will compromise on rear-seat space, however. Judging by the length of the rear doors alone, this is a very large vehicle.
Its styling, though, is, as we reported, quite familiar. We can see the evolution of the Concours' concept's styling, with a narrower grille that still leads up into the hood. The thin headlights use BMW's Laserlight technology while retaining a shape similar to the Gran Lusso, and the lower intake is dominated by a carbon-fiber air deflector on both ends. BMW's Air Breather system can be found behind the front wheels, adding an accent along the lower portion of the doors. In back, organic LED lighting is used for the super-slim taillights.
