THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION, PLEASE BE PREPARED TO PAY IF YOU BID!

Up for sale is my 1988 M6. I am the 3rd owner and have owned this car for about 8 years. I originally bought this beautiful car as I was lucky to find an original Texas car that was very well cared for, in great shape, and very important had all of the service records since new. I have the original window sticker and dealer invoice as well as the certification from BMW Group Classic Archives-Munich Germany.

Shortly after I bought the car I started to de-cosmoline & clean up the engine bay and that turned into a full cosmetic restoration. I went through just about everything and either replaced, re-plated, or powder coated all parts. Here is some of what has been done:

ENGINE:

Removed all cosmoline from engine bay.
Replaced all hoses; power steering, heater, fuel lines, etc. All replacement parts are OEM BMW down to the hose clamps. I also had the air box, valve cover & air plenum soda blasted and powdercoated.
Replaced coolant resevoir/cap & washer resevoir/cap along with new windshield washer lines and clamps.
Mechanical work included fresh oil & filter, new power steering fluid & filter, flush and refill coolant (OEM BMW), checked valve lash (All within spec).
Very rare, impossible to find new original black Purolator air filter, shown in the pictures.

BODY:

This is an original TX car which, to my knowledge, has always been garaged and never smoked in. I have never driven it in the rain. There is absolutely no rust and the paint is in excellent condition with just a few nits and picks around the gorgeous body. No accidents or body work, however the previous owner had the front airdam and hood repainted due to stone chips. The repaint looks excellent and is two stage with clear coat.

INTERIOR:

The interior was in excellent condition when I bought it with only some minor wear on the drivers seat. The original dash is in excellent condition with no cracks. The rear deck & speaker pods are also in excellent condition with no warping. There are only slight signs of wear on the front drivers seat and there is a small tear on the drivers side door armrest. The rest of the interior is in immaculate condition.
I replaced the original airbag steering wheel with a period correct and much better looking M-Tech II 385mm wheel (I have the original steering wheel which will go to the new owner). Also, I added a euro ashtray delete/storage tray (I have the original ashtray which will go with the car).

DRIVETRAIN:

The drivetrain is in excellent condition with a smooth shifting Getrag 280 5 speed and limited slip differential. Trans. & Diff. fluid is fresh with Redline oils. New clutch and Auto Solutions shift kit (reduces throw distance by about 30%).

SUSPENSION & STEERING:

Completely gone through. Front suspension has new upper & lower control arms, center link, bushings and struts (Bilstein). Also, the steering box was upgraded with Ed Reather's (M Wrench) steering box reinforcement kit professionally welded in. Rear auto leveling suspension was rebuilt with new accumulators and lines and works perfect. Originally I was going to delete the original self leveling rear suspension but the original SLS shocks were in great shape with no leaks so I kept it original. I do however have a rear suspension SLS delete kit with M-Tech springs, Bilstein shocks, and hardware that will go to the new owner if he/she wants it.
Period correct and very rare BBS RS wheels in 16"x7" wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE750 225/50 tires. The BBS's are show quality condition and the Bridgestones have less than 1,000 miles on them. I also restored the original TRX wheels wrapped in the original style Michelin TRX GT tires (about 25% tread left) and these are included with the car to the new owner.

BRAKES:

Brakes have been freshened with new front rotors, Pagid pads and Stop Tech SS brake lines. Front calipers were rebuilt and re-plated in original cadmium plating. Accumulator (AKA Brake Bomb) was replaced. Rear brakes are stock and in excellent condition.

One note about the air conditioning. It does work however, the coolant leaks out after about a month. If I recharge it the vents blow @ 34 degrees but for full disclosure the system will need a going through.

So there you have it. This has to be one of the best documented, cleanest, M6's in the country and is in excellent condition throughout. I have all the receipts/service records and lots of the original parts and spares that will go to the new owner. I have the clear TX title in hand. This is a no reserve auction please be prepared to pay if you bid. A $500 security deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end with the balance due within 72 hours of the auction end via cash or certified bank money order/cashiers check. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and I can offer limited assistance with meeting your shipper at my door. Please let me know if you have any questions and good luck!

BMW sets Guinness record for longest drift with new M5 [w/video]

Wed, 15 May 2013

In September of 2011, Chinese drifter Wang Qi broke the Guinness record for the world's longest sustained drift, doing 13 laps inside the Olympic Center Stadium in Tianlin, China for 5,802.3 meters. That was broken in February of this year by Abdo Feghali in Abu Dhabi drifting a new Chevrolet Camaro around a skidpad for 11,180 meters - almost seven miles. In March, BMW decided it wanted the record "back in the US," and set up a course at its BMW Performance Driving School near Greenville, South Carolina to get the job done. On May, 11 it was Mission Accomplished when Performance Center driver Johan Schwartz drifted an M5 around a skidpad continuously for 51.3 miles.
Despite that accomplishment, we're pretty sure that professional drifter Vaughn Gittin, Jr. isn't impressed. The way Guinness defines "drifting" can also describe a donut, which is effectively the kind of drifting that's been done for these last three records. BMW went even further by watering down the surface of the track, reducing the skill required and the need to change tires during the effort. On the other hand, you can't drift a car for long in a straight line, but perhaps there should be some clarification or classifications added to the milestones.
There's a short video below taken during the record-breaking run, and a press release from the company that did it.

Genesis G70 vs sport sedan rivals: How it compares on paper

Fri, Sep 15 2017

We got our first look at the Genesis G70 sport sedan today. We think it looks good, with enough ties to its fellow Genesises (Geneses?) to further establish the brand and just enough distinction to help it stand out from the crowd. But ah yes, the crowd. Although Genesis didn't release the G70's full spec sheet, it revealed just enough for us to start sizing it up to its future competition. There are certainly others with which to compare (Lexus IS, Cadillac ATS, Alfa Romeo Giulia, Jaguar XE just to name a few), but we decided to take a look at the best sellers and most competitive luxury sport sedans. (And hey, if you like this, we can always do a follow up) So, here we have the Genesis G70 vs BMW 3 Series vs Audi A4 / S4 vs Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs Infiniti Q50. Nothing like a good chart to dig your teeth into on a Friday. Note that we only compared those models that line up with the G70. So, we left out the BMW 320i and Audi A4 Ultra entry level models as well as the Q50 3.0t mid-grade model that's considerably cheaper than the German performance upgrade models we listed. All 0-60 figures are rough estimates based on several sources, models/drivetrains and OEM figures.

Top Gear's latest trailer shows off a golden Bugatti Chiron

Thu, Feb 23 2017

Top Gear is returning on March 5, and after a lackluster first series with the new hosts, the new group seems determined not to hit a sophomore slump. Chris Evans is gone, and the latest teaser trailer shows the new trio of Matt LeBlanc, Chris Harris, and Rory Reid strapped into some pretty fantastic cars, including the Bugatti Chiron and the Ford GT. All of the typical Top Gear segments appear to be present, though the quick cuts don't give us many details. The trailer shows a copious amount of powerslides from an assortment of cars, and even Chris Harris racing around Daytona. Aside from the Bugatti and Ford, cars from Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, BMW, Aston Martin, and Alfa Romeo are all present. Co-hosts Eddie Jordan and Sabine Schmitz don't appear at all, so it seems their roles may be downplayed to focus on three guys, as was the case pre-reboot. We have some hope for this re-relaunched show and will be keeping an eye out for more details in the lead-up to the series premiere.
