PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in good to very good, 99% rust-free condition overall. The repaint of four years ago and $3,000 was not then, nor is it now concourse. It is a presentable ten-foot original color respray over a very clean, near perfectly rust-free body. It is fairly nice and under closer inspection you will find some minor blemishe, nicks, overspray and scratches here and there. The original small chrome euro bumpers and trim are in still decent condition. The rear license plate has been trimmed to fit the rear valance. The nice clean 18" wheels give the car a great stance [fair to good tires].  

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this turbo 6er shark is in very good to excellent condition overall! It sports a PRISTINE, 99.9% crack-free dash, excellent door panels, clean black leather electric "comfort" seats, redone headliner, nice original carpeting with ALL of the gauges and controls working as they should! NOTE: You may choose the electric black leather M6 sport seats instead of the comfor seats. see photo link. Also in addition to the Nardi sport wheel you may have the original three-spoke steering wheel.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic 635CSi TURBO is FABULOUS TO DRIVE! With approximately 350 horsepower on tap with similar torque numbers, this car accelerates very well with great verve. Check out the little acceleration video pitted againts the Dinan turbo E28 which is rated at about 380 horsepower. It is definitely faster than an E24 M6! The engine starts right up with nice growl and turbo sounds when driving. The suspension is firm but not punishing with excellent responsive steering, the transmission [NOT gogleg] is smooth and grind-free shifting. This is a truly satisfying car to drive with very nice presence on the road!

BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe gets Bang & Olufsen Individual edition [w/video]

Tue, 10 Jun 2014

Not content with a bit part on the options sheet, high-end sound gets a starring role on the BMW Individual 6 Series Gran Coupe Bang & Olufsen Edition. There's no technical difference between the 1,200-watt, 16-speaker High End Surround Sound System in this run of 6 Series Gran Coupes and the $3,700 system you can order as an option on the standard Gran Coupe, but the special edition gets brushed black aluminum finish speaker grilles, a first for the range.
The packages and colors are what set these apart, exteriors available in either Brilliant White Metallic or Dark Graphite II Metallic, interiors possible in either black or Opal White and black. You'll also get upgrades like the Cold Weather, M Sport Edition Packages on the non-M car, the Competition Package and Executive Package on the M, plus piano black wood trim, special floor mats and lots of B&O badging.
This isn't just a special edition, it's a limited edition, with BMW saying only 100 will be produced. Prices start at $116,240 for the 650i B&O Edition and top out at $152,423 for the M6 B&O Edition. There's a press release below with more details, and we've included a video on the stereo itself to help understand why it might deserve a car named after it.

2014 BMW 320i

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
