1988 Bmw 635 Csi Zinnoberrot on 2040-cars
Newport, Tennessee, United States
|
You are reviewing a 1988 BMW 635CSi. The car has the tried and true 3.5L 6 cylinder engine, backed by a 4 speed automatic selectable transmission (manual, economy, sport). Power windows, locks, power seats, headrests, sunroof, air conditioning (front and rear with console cooler), factory radio, 18" Mille Miglia wheels with new (within the last month) Toyo Proxes rubber. The interior does show normal wear for a 26 year old vehicle. Driver seat bolster is torn, but doesn't affect the ride. The interior is all leather including the headliner. All driver gauges work as should and there are no service lights indicating. Recent oil change. Both fuel pumps have been replaced with new ones in the last 6 months. car runs and drives as it should. Before I got the car, the car had sat for most of the last 5 years (garaged), so a few minor problems have arose from this, mainly the transmission pan gasket is seeping (I have a new gasket just haven't installed yet) an a minor oil leak at valve cover. I drive this car a couple days a week to work (50 mile round trip) and it always brings a smile to my face. I always receive compliments on the car wherever I go. The few issues I would resolve are like I said above, the two gaskets, as well as the switch/motor for the power sunroof works intermittently (although those crafty Germans built in a manual crank if needed), the driver door needs new plastic clips and the radio antenna needs inspection as it was not extending when I got the car, and I rebuilt it with new gears, and it still doesn't extend, the ac is not working as of this moment and will need a few lines hooked back up. It does blow, just not cold (since the lines aren't connected and charged). The temperature selector (dial) needs the pivot arm replaced (I have this as well) and the passenger outer door handle rod has come loose ( I have the suspected broken piece for this as well.) All in all, this is a true beauty. Today, as in recent years, many people look to the 635CSi as the last great styling design from BMW, as its classic stature still rings beautiful to this day. Item is for sale locally, so auction may be ended at any time. |

Mercedes may be working on a new electric car dubbed 'Ecoluxe'
Fri, Dec 26 2014Automobile has a lengthy piece this month on how the four German mass-market luxury manufacturers each plan to go after Tesla with their own electric vehicles. It was written by Georg Kacher, the magazine's European bureau chief, and the English version came a month after he wrote the German-language original for Autobild. Tesla isn't exactly a threat to the Germans, but, according to the report, the Model S is planting the right kinds of seeds in niches that are important to the luxury players. The thinking is that - in addition to needed electric vehicles anyway for stricter US regulations - it's better to start designing the machinery now. The article posited Porsche's attack would rest on the coming Panamera platform, but a big hurdle would be battery placement. Unable to find one large space for a lithium-ion pack, engineers would instead put batteries everywhere they could, for a supposed tally of some "108 battery pouches" throughout the body. A few days after the Automobile piece, however, Porsche publicly said it had no intention of challenging the Model S, because the enthusiastic driving the brand is known for doesn't jive with useful range. In Kacher's retelling, Mercedes' plans are even more ambitious, supposedly taking aim at the Model S and the coming Model X. It would do this with an investment in excess of $2 billion in a program called "Ecoluxe" – Mercedes has no brand division akin to BMW's i and Audi's e-tron. The new brand would create a four-strong family of bespoke electric vehicles: a smaller platform with a wheelbase around 106 inches and a larger one with a wheelbase around 118 inches. In addition, the range would have "provisions for rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and rear-wheel steering." The numbers are impressive: seating for seven in the larger vehicles, both longer than 16 feet, front and rear storage areas, ratings of up to 610 horsepower and production capacity of 80,000 units per year. When would we see such creatures? Perhaps as soon as 2019. We do know that if Tesla can knock the Model X over the outfield fence, automakers are going to have to do something. We don't know what the chances are that Ecoluxe is Mercedes' first move - but such a plan could help explain the weird Mercedes concept spied in October.
