This is a very fine example of the 633 csi coupe, the last affordable desireable collectible from BMW,and it is in amazing ready to use condition. The start price on this classic is far below what similar cars with the 5 speed have been selling forand many of those are in rough shape. You can buy some other fixer for less but it will cost you so much more in the end. This car is ready to use NOW. Dont buy a car with air conditioning that doesnt work, warning lights unexplainably on, etc. etc. BUY A GREAT CAR that is well sorted. THIS IS IT--please take a moment to read the description!--This vehicle has clear California Title.  This is a truly beautiful car with much recently spent on it. Drive it anywhere, it is a gem. This well cared for example had a repaint just last year in the original safari beige factory color, with glass out of the car and body and prep work done to an amazing high standard of workmanship. Body and paint was over an expensive color and clear factory type repaint and it shows! The flawless body and paint of this car is just one of its highlights. A true craftsman remade the front leather seats to exacting BMW standards using the correct original pattern, top quality leather hydes, and much new material inside. The rear seats are perfect and the impression is a car of a year or two in age, not  a 1981 vintage vehicle. The carpet was replaced with a full set from a low milege 1989 car which kept the originality, fit and luxury feel correct. The rear shelf upholstery, so often damaged from sun, was also replaced correctly with the leather trim redone around the parecel shelf and speaker storage boxes. The headlining is all tight and intact and clean. This is a non smoking car. Next the dashboard, often a problem with these cars, was professionally reskinned using a high cost form unit that recovers the entire dash and retains originality perfectly with the look of a new car. At that time, non functioning heater and air conditioner controls were replaced with factory new units inside the dashboard. Also the difficult to get to and long ago bypassed heater core was replaced with a brand new factory unit. This is an extremely expensive job but it had to be done to assure that the R134A conversion of the A/C would yield a perfect heating and air conditioning unit for this luxury performance car. So few of these are in all working order on the six series cars which ruins the enjoyment. The A/C blows ice cold, and the heating works beautifully as well. If you are considering another 630, 633, or 635 make DARN SURE the heating and A/C all work and ask for receipts on a heater core or you WILL do one at over a thousand for parts and labor. If you smell coolant, just add a grand to the price of that other car...and wonder what else it needs. This one is done and ready. All four power windows also work great, as do all gauges. Car never even thinks about running hot; the gauge stays below the middle of the range in all types of service, even L.A. traffic in hot 90 degree days with the air conditioner blowing cool air to the cabin. It is a very nice driver!

Mechanically the car had the factory recommended reinforcement of the differential mounting done, and this car has the desireable Getrag 5 speed that must be the silkiest and most enjoyable gearbox I have ever used. In the past year I replaced the radiator, radiator fan, all hoses and belts, rebuilt injectors and air valves, and all of the fussy and impossible to find fuel injection hoses and factory plenum chamber hoses which make this car not only pass its strict California emissions with ease, but it runs smooth and strong. The engine and drivetrain of this car are outstanding and need nothing but a driver to enjoy them. The troublesome metric wheels have been replaced with the very desireable specified replacement beautiful BBS wheel set, and have good tread on a set of Kumho performance radials. The sound system is a cassette stereo that fits the dash nicely, and the original BMW unit is also included, recently found online and I have not tested it but was told all including cassette worked. The original plugs and wiring were not disturbed so the factory radio should be a drop in . This car has never been rusty or wrecked, with one very minor collision to the left rear way back in 1996 and repaired so well it is undetectable (see auto check). It has all of its original comprehensive onboard tool kit and factory jack, and it presents, looks, and drives like it was meant to while looking better than any other 633 you will find. The kicker is this car is being sold with NO RESERVE. The highest bidder will own this car and will be thrilled from the first drive and for many years to come. I encourage any inspection of this superb vehicle by a knowledgeable inspection service, club or enthusiast representaive of the buyer. This car is the real thing, and please see my feedback as an ebay seller and buyer over 14 years who cares about quality and will make this a great experience for the buyer. We will help with cost effective shipping, free delivery to the shipper if needed, and delivery for cost of fuel and bus ticket within 300 miles of Los Angeles.(I would LOVE to drive this one last time and meet the new lucky owner. We will not end early and the car is not for sale locally. This is a real auction and the winner gets it. This is the one so put a bid down to win it.

BMW i8 official images leak ahead of Frankfurt [w/video]

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

The new BMW i8 plug-in electric supercar isn't set to make its official debut until September 10, when it will glide onto the Frankfurt Motor Show stage amidst a sea of flash photography. Of course, that isn't so true in today's world, where debuts are always preceded (often carefully) by "leaks."
Take this trio of images of the BMW i8 - there's just enough of the exterior on display in the profile shot to draw attention, without showing important styling points that might be present on the front or back of the car. The same goes for the video attached below. The cabin shot is cool, but isn't particularly earth-shattering when it comes to BMW interiors. As for the skeletal shot, we can see the 1.5-liter, turbocharged engine positioned between the rear axles, the battery pack found in what would be the transmission tunnel and the front-mounted electric motors.
We'll have a full set of live images when the BMW i8 makes its debut in Frankfurt next week. Until then, have a look in the gallery and at the video below, and let us know what you think of BMW's next big thing.

Why are all US-bound BMW i3 EVs with range extenders stuck at port?

Tue, May 20 2014

The first BMW i3 EVs have been delivered in the US, but in a quirk of the rules, none of them have been the range-extended versions. Long-time BMW electric vehicle driver Tom Moloughney discovered this fact the hard way. His i3 REx has been sitting at a New Jersey port for over a week and he's getting impatient. The problem is something Moloughney calls a "Monroney Hold." So, instead of sitting there fuming, Moloughney did a bit of research and discovered that the problem is something he calls a "Monroney Hold." He says that "the EPA certification has not been completed so BMW doesn't have a Monroney label (window sticker) to post in the window before the car leaves the port, which is required by law. The range extender option changes (shortens) the car's electric range, and also requires an official MPG rating so BMW couldn't use the same Monroney label as they did for the all electric i3." You can read more on his website, but it turns out that the story isn't so simple. For one thing, the EPA testing has been finished. Washington State representative Chad Magendaz told Moloughney that he asked the EPA for an official statement and got the following from Linc Wehrly, Director of the Light-Duty Vehicle Center Compliance Division: "EPA tested the i3 REx and provided the results of that testing to BMW on May 13th. EPA is not aware of anything that would prevent BMW from importing the vehicles since May 13th." Then there's the official word from BMW. Spokesman Dave Buchko told AutoblogGreen that: We are moving as quickly as possible to release the first BMW i3 Range-Extender models to BMW i Centers. Receipt of test data from the EPA is one step, but not the final step, in the process of receiving certification from the EPA. Rules do not permit the release of vehicles for sale until EPA labels are finalized, produced and affixed to any vehicle. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect that to happen by the end of this week. We have never certified a vehicle like this before. We are taking every precaution to make sure that everything is done in a timely, but more importantly correct manner. In that Monroney labels cannot be produced until the EPA certification process is complete, the characterization [of a "Monroney Hold"] is not technically incorrect, but there is more to it than that, as is often true in life. On a lighter note, BMW donated a loaded i3 to Brad Pitt's Make It Right charity foundation as a fundraiser. Read about that below.

Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63 S pitted Head to Head

Fri, Sep 4 2015

Our favorite (and only) Autoblog-alum-turned-Motor Trend staffer is back with another Head to Head video, this time pitting the Cadillac ATS-V with the Mercedes-AMG C63 S. This performance machine shootout is ostensibly a way to figure out which of these new super sedans will earn the right to go toe-to-toe with the undisputed champion of its segment, the BMW M3. In reality, it's just a really good excuse to put three of the hottest sedans on the market on video at the same time... and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. Jonny Lieberman spends time in each of the two new challengers on the road, picking apart their powertrains, chassis and driving dynamics on the kinds of twisty roads drivers of these cars will relish. Then, he hands the keys off to Randy Pobst, who sort of acts as an unmasked version of a certain tame racing driver, except that he talks and has a personality. 0-60 and quarter-mile times are equated, braking performance is measured and scores are tallied before the two sport sedans end up at Willow Springs raceway. Interestingly enough, the car that proves (just slightly) faster at the race track isn't the car that wins the comparison. Curious? We're not going to spoil it for you. Check out the video, above. Then, for more action of these two machines, check out the videos just below.
