Manufactured from 1979 through 1984, the top-of-the-line BMW 6 series received a fuel-injected engine for the first time.

It developed 197 horsepower in a 2.8 liter straight 6 cylinder power plant with ZF steering box (with power assist) and independent four-wheel coil spring suspension. This car has the 4-speed synchronized transmission. Most historical service receipts and repair orders come with the car in addition to the original owner's manual and trunk-loaded tool kit.

I purchased this fine teutonic ultimate driving machine from its original owner last year. He purchased the car new in New England in late 1978 -- in fact it was one of the first 633's imported to North America -- and he used it there and shipped it to Florida when he spent winters there. In 35 years he put only approximately 3,400 miles a year on the odometer. Always well-maintained and garaged, only when he was well into his seventies did his wife prevail upon him to part with his "baby". Out of his Florida garage it came to live with me in dry Southern Utah.

Fond of these top-of-the-line Beemers, I have had considerable long-term experience with this model. I owned a '79 in '79, bought it new and kept it for 10 years until I traded it for an '88 BMW 635. They are fantastic grand touring cars! Being a big fan of these underrated cars, I had this car mechanically gone through to correct some of its old age ailments and get the running quality up to par. Not a lot to do but change the fluids, detail the cosmetics, sort the electricals, charge the A/C system and get some cranky switches working to make this beauty sing again on the highway and turn heads everywhere you drive it. It's amazing how the beautiful design holds up and attracts attention from those too young to remember it was a major flagship German car of the highest order in it's day.

Now comes the time to let it go as my collection has grown and I must thin the herd for storage purposes. I have nearly $11,000 into this automobile and price guides indicate that market value of one that is "average" is in the $6,000 to $9,000 range. I will let the eBay community decide its fate because this BMW will be sold at NO RESERVE to the highest bidder. The current marketplace will either establish its true value or someone will get a steal of a deal. The car is not for sale elsewhere so bid with confidence to WIN this listing. I will not accept bids from zero feedback bidders. If you have any qualms about the car's condition, PLEASE either inspect it yourself or hire a qualified appraiser or local mechanic to look at the car in person prior to the close of bidding. THIS CAR IS SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe caught again

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

It's been a while since we've seen the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe out testing, but we're sort of inclined to ask "Why?" yet again. After all, the 4 Series is what the new 3 Series-based coupes and convertibles will be called, so the idea of another four-door version just sort of seems redundant. In other words, just how different will a 4 Series Gran Coupe be from a 3 Series sedan, aside from perhaps a more rakish roofline or a four-passenger seating configuration? Probably not much, but BMW clearly thinks it can use the additional bodystyle to rake in some extra profits.
Anyway, back to these spy shots. No more of the 4GC's skin has been revealed since the last time we saw it, but we fully expect it to share a lot of its design DNA with the 3 Series sedan, not to mention the attractive 4 Series coupe concept that bowed at this year's Detroit Auto Show.
Powertrain options should carry over direct from the 3 Series line, so we expect to see 428i and 435i models on hand, packing turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, respectively. We're sure that BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive will be available, and who knows, we could even get a 428d version with the new 2.0-liter turbodiesel four that debuted in the 328d at the New York Auto Show last week, or even an M4 variant.

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.

Creative minds build lightweight Lambos and Bugattis with cardboard and pedals

Fri, May 1 2020

As manufacturers continue their quests to reduce the weight of their vehicles, they switch out heavy steel for lighter materials such as aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, and sometimes even magnesium. But they've been ignoring a cheap alternative that is widely available: cardboard. Leave it to two visionaries from Vietnam to crack the code and build supercars and superbikes out of the versatile paper product. Vietnamese YouTube channel NHET TV, via CarScoops, might only have a year under its belt, but in that short amount of time, it has amassed more than 350,000 subscribers. What initially started out as a random collection of harmless pranks, trolls, and makeshift time-killers has blossomed into an entertaining channel of ultra-low-budget car and motorcycle builds. The first video posted is a paper plane competition, but the second video shows the first appearance of a vehicle, a Ducati Panigale made out of cardboard and a bicycle. This isn't like Paper Mario with a two-dimensional silhouette, it's a close-enough three-dimensional replica. That project was admittedly pretty rough, but the work has only improved as the channel has matured. Throughout the past year, NHET TV has stuck with high-performance transportation for inspiration. They've built projects that mimic a Lamborghini Sian, a Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, a Ferrari LaFerrari FXX K, a Bugatti Chiron, a BMW S 1000 RR, and a Yamaha YZF-R6, among others. Some of the builds, such as the Bugatti, go beyond the typical cardboard-body-on-bicycle-frame. As seen in the video below, the NHET TV built a tubular frame for the car using spare bike parts that they welded together. The Bug even has a custom steering column and steering wheel, though the high-quality model continues to use bike chains and pedals for power. The SVJ might be the most advanced vehicle, as it has a real engine for power and has custom reverse gearing. These guys are creating fun out of the limited resources they do have, and that's what right now is all about. Enjoy the videos below and watch more on the full NHET TV channel.
