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

Ford, GM still doing new business with Takata amidst airbag crisis
Thu, Nov 20 2014Lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. You might expect automakers to be fleeing any connection with beleaguered supplier Takata in the wake of the company's exploding airbag inflator crisis. After all, with a Senate hearing, pending lawsuit, plummeting stock value and demand for a national recall, the tier-one supplier isn't at its strongest right now. However, years of cooperation mean that automakers are standing by Takata, and necessity may be playing a role, as well. About 39 percent of Takata's business comes from airbags, and seatbelts make up another significant chunk of the operation too, says Bloomberg. The long-term relationships and lengthy vehicle development times make it difficult for automakers to cut and run from the supplier. "Takata has so much product breadth that I don't really see that they could just disappear," said AutoPacific analyst Dave Sullivan to Bloomberg. For example, Takata helped develop the unique front center airbag with General Motors in models like the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Outside of safety tech, it is also a partner with Ford on the adaptive steering system available on the upcoming 2015 Edge. These long-lasting partnerships make change difficult now that there's a problem. According to Reuters, automakers claim it would take a year or longer to set up with a different supplier for replacement airbag inflators. Switching to a completely different part for the repairs might not be a viable option either, because of the engineering time needed. BMW is taking action, though. According to Reuters, the Bavarian brand is working with the supplier to move inflator production from Monclova, Mexico, to a Takata factory in Freiburg, Germany. The Mexican plant may be the source of some of the faulty parts. News Source: Bloomberg, ReutersImage Credit: Jens Meyer / AP Photo BMW Ford GM Safety Takata airbag recall
Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing
Mon, Dec 29 2014The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

2015 BMW X6
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Most everyone would agree that BMW offers a range of very attractive and well-proportioned coupes, sedans, crossovers and wagons. Yet there is one member of its family that has always struck us as a bit odd: the X6.
Proudly coined "The world's first Sports Activity Coupe" by its German maker, the X6 features a wedge-shaped body with a characteristic sloping roofline that appears to squash the heads of its second-row occupants. The crossover rides high off the ground, with a pronounced gap between its chassis and oversized wheel/tire package, capped by short overhangs on both ends. Although curious to the eyes, its overall styling is masculine, and its stance aggressive.
Whether you consider the X6 to be attractive or an eyesore - opinions seem about equally divided - there is nobody at BMW questioning its business model. As of today, the automaker has sold more than 260,000 copies of its five-door crossover, which is why it has flown us to Spartanburg, SC, to sample its second-generation 2015 BMW X6.
