1985 Bmw 635csi Coupe 2-door 3.5l Black - Automatic - Low Miles on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a 3 three day auction with a reserve. Up for auction is my 1985 BMW 635CSi Automatic. In 1985 there were 2,268 automatics sold in the USA. The vehicle AUTO CHECK gave it a score of 51 out of a high score of 62. No accidents and paint is original>>>>>>>>> A little history of the 1985 BMW CSi >>> 1985-87: 635CSi, L6
Engine displacement was finally increased to rest-of-the-world spec at 3430cc (3.5L), and the U.S. E24 finally became the 635CSi. Power was now up to 182 bhp at 5400 rpm and 214 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the latter eclipsing the European-spec 633CSi. However, the U.S. engine was still hampered by a low, 8.0:1 compression ratio and exhaust restrictions, meaning it was still grossly underpowered by European standards, where the 10:1 compression, non-catalyst 635CSi cranked out 218 bhp at 5200 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. The low compression ratio was mandated by low-octane gasoline and the inability of early Motronics to deal with the combination of high compression and exhaust restriction in the absence of knock sensors. Later, in the 1990s, the 1985-on U.S.-spec 635CSi would respond dramatically to a simple ECU chip upgrade from either of the aforementioned suppliers. Today, a Conforti chip remains the single best engine power upgrade for the U.S.-spec 635CSi.
The car has been maintenance by BMW Stores and is up to date. With the low miles, the car must have sat around in a garage for long periods. The previous owner, went well beyond standard maintenance and got a little carried away with preventive maintenance. The car drives great!!!!! This is truly a highway cruiser and power really kicks in at 50 + mph. The spare tire has been used, antenna is power and it works, almost all the tools are there and the owners manuals are included. No paint fade, the paint is original, must have been garage kept and waxed by a professional for sure. Even the paint in the door jams, under the hood and trunk is original. Again this a 3 day auction, $500 due at close of auction and remainder due three >>3>> after close of auction. If the car is to be exported, Jacksonville, FL is a major port with connections thru out the World. GOOD LUCK

BMW expects China to pass US as its top market in 2013
Thu, 11 Jul 2013When you combine two billion citizens, 100 cities with more than a million inhabitants and an economy that's as unrestrained as Jim Cramer on an Adderall binge, China's explosive auto industry growth shouldn't be a huge surprise. Audi already lists the communist country as its largest market, while Mercedes-Benz is expecting it to be there in the next few years. Now, according to a report from Automotive News, BMW is expecting the People's Republic to overtake the United States in sales by the end of 2013.
We already discovered the extent that BMW is going to in establishing a dedicated Chinese stronghold, when we explored BMW's Shanghai-based DesignWorks studio ahead of April's Shanghai Motor Show. And while we argued that DesignWorks Shanghai hasn't really borne fruit, it isn't due to a lack of sales.
BMW China has seen a 16-percent jump in year-over-year sales, lead by a 28-percent gain in 5 Series sales. Part of BMW's growth strategy comes from an ever-expanding dealership network. Remember those 100 cities we mentioned with over one million people? According to Karsten Engel, CEO of BMW's Chinese operations, those 100-million-plus city dwellers don't have access to a premium dealership.
2015 BMW M4 Convertible is here to put wind in your sails
Thu, 03 Apr 2014Each generation of the BMW M3 has included a convertible model. Even the distant E30, the patriarch of the M3 line, had an ultra-rare (only 787 were built) droptop model. The convertible became more common on the successive generations, with the hardtop-convertible E93 being the most recent. Considering this history, there seemed very little doubt that as the M3 became the M4, a convertible would be in the cards. Now, the new droptop has arrived.
Set for its global debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible features, like its forbearers, everything that's great about the hardtop variant while adding an unlimited amount of head room. That means the same 3.0-liter, 425-horsepower, 406-pound-foot, twin-turbocharged straight six sits under its domed hood, while either a six-speed stick or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission dispatches power to the fat rear tires.
As for specific differences between the hardtop and the new convertible, obviously, the droptop is heavier. A lot heavier. Where an M4 with a six-speed manual tips the scales at 3,530 pounds, the M4 Convertible weighs in at 4,055 pounds. Believe it or not, BMW has actually trimmed 90 pounds from the last-generation M3 convertible, code-named E93. This marginal weight reduction from the third-generation convertible to the fourth is barely half of the 174 pounds BMW was able to subtract when transitioning from M3 Coupe to M4 Coupe.
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
