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. |

Xcar rates AWD vs. FWD vs. RWD
Tue, Feb 24 2015With snow and ice blanketing large swathes of the United States over the past few weeks, commuting hasn't been easy. Among some drivers, there's an ongoing debate about how much all-wheel drive really helps when it gets slippery and whether rear-drive is as bad in slick conditions as many people think. Xcar Films puts some of those beliefs to the test in its latest video by showing off three very different cars taking on a trio of low-grip challenges. Xcar's picks for the test include the fairly plebeian, all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza, the somewhat plush, rear-drive BMW 120d and the sporty, front-drive Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy. Things start out easy with a hydraulic plate forcing the back end out on a wet skid pad. From there, the tests get really interesting with a slalom on simulated ice, and the cars finish with a high-speed cornering challenge through a soaked turn. While an obvious winner emerges in the end, keep in mind this is hardly a scientific test of grip. For better accuracy, all three vehicles should be wearing identical tires, and the same driver should be behind the wheel of each one. Still, Xcar's examination is a fun chance to see how vehicles react when things get slick.

2015 BMW i8 Prototype
Wed, 07 Aug 2013M Meets Edison
The real telling moment for the new BMW i division will be seeing how the recently tested 2014 i3 sells in its various markets, since that is the car that changes how we perceive our expectations of the brand. But this 2015 BMW i8 green supercar has all the earmarks of a slam-dunk project, we just needed to drive it and make sure for ourselves.
BMW has a spectacular test facility in southern France, called Miramas, and that's where we just had our first brief go behind the wheel of the i8. There were three cars for us there and they were dressed up in exactly the same paisley camo that we've all seen in the spy photos published everywhere for the past year. The interiors, though swathed in masking to hide all the details, varied in their color.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
