1979 Bmw 633csi Base Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

Ivins, Utah, United States

Manufactured from 1979 through 1984, the top-of-the-line BMW 6 series received a fuel-injected engine for the first time. 
It developed 197 horsepower in a 2.8 liter straight 6 cylinder power plant with ZF steering box (with power assist) and independent four-wheel coil spring suspension.  This car has the 4-speed synchronized transmission.  Most historical service receipts and repair orders come with the car in addition to the original owner's manual and trunk-loaded tool kit.

I purchased this fine teutonic ultimate driving machine from its original owner last year.  He purchased the car new in New England in late 1978 -- in fact it was one of the first 633's imported to North America -- and he used it there and shipped it to Florida when he spent winters there.   In 35 years he put only approximately 3,400 miles a year on the odometer.  Always well-maintained and garaged, only when he was well into his seventies did his wife prevail upon him to part with his "baby".  Out of his Florida garage it came to live with me in dry Southern Utah.

Fond of these top-of-the-line Beemers, I have had considerable long-term experience with this model.  I owned a '79 in '79, bought it new and kept it for 10 years until I traded it for an '88 BMW 635.  They are fantastic grand touring cars!   Being a big fan of these underrated cars, I had this car mechanically gone through to correct some of its old age ailments and get the running quality up to par.  Not a lot to do but change the fluids, detail the cosmetics, sort the electricals, charge the A/C system and get some cranky switches working to make this beauty sing again on the highway and turn heads everywhere you drive it.  It's amazing how the beautiful design holds up and attracts attention from those too young to remember it was a major flagship German car of the highest order in it's day.

Now comes the time to let it go as my collection has grown and I must thin the herd for storage purposes.  I have nearly $11,000 into this automobile and price guides indicate that market value of one that is "average" is in the $6,000 to $9,000 range.  I will let the eBay community decide its fate because this BMW will be sold at NO RESERVE to the highest bidder.  The current marketplace will either establish its true value or someone will get a steal of a deal.  The car is not for sale elsewhere so bid with confidence to WIN this listing.  I will not accept bids from zero feedback bidders.  If you have any qualms about the car's condition, PLEASE either inspect it yourself or hire a qualified appraiser or local mechanic to look at the car in person prior to the close of bidding.  THIS CAR IS SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Evo pits BMW M3 against Porsche Macan in drag battle

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

If you want to move five passengers in very rapid fashion and you've got a $75,000 budget, two newly introduced four-door models immediately come to mind - both are the highest performing vehicles in their respective segments. But which is faster off the line, to the 60-mile-per-hour benchmark or flat-out over an even longer run? Evo took both to paved aircraft runway to find out.
In lane one we've got the all-new Porsche Macan Turbo, which boasts a twin-turbocharged, 3.6-liter V6 rated at 400 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. The Porsche is fitted with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, and the 4,244-pound crossover has the traction advantage of standard all-wheel drive. In lane two is the all-new BMW M3, powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline-six rated at 425 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque. It is also equipped with a seven-speed, dual-clutch gearbox, but only the rear wheels of the 3,595-pound sedan are driven. Both the BMW and Porsche arrive with launch control, which helps to remove driver error off the line.
Which automaker's launch control system is better off the line? Does all-wheel-drive grip give the crossover the advantage it needs to overcome its adversary's power-to-weight advantage? Will aerodynamics factor into the results? Which would you put in your garage, and why? The video may surprise you.

BMW 4 Series spied with its future competition

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

BMW showed off its new 4 Series coupe in concept form at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show earlier this year, but it won't be long before we see the production model, evidenced by this modestly camouflaged prototype spotted testing. In case you forgot, the 4 Series serves as the replacement for the two-door versions of the BMW 3 Series, just as the upcoming 2 Series will effectively be the new version of the 1 Series coupe and convertible sold in our market.
This isn't our first glimpse of the 4 Series out testing, and we've even spied its droptop, Gran Coupe and too-hot M4 kin. We don't expect the final design to stray too much from the concept car seen in Detroit, albeit without the normal conceptual goodies like oversized wheels and with the overstyled front fascia toned down a bit. Our spy photographers even caught the 4 Series coupe hanging out with an Audi A5, giving us a good glimpse at how the two cars will stack up in terms of size and design.
It's still unknown exactly what engines will power the car when it comes to production, but since this thing is a derivative of the 3 Series, we expect the usual range of turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines to be available, likely in 428i ad 435i guise (though, to be fair, the larger 640i coupe uses a 3.0-liter turbo engine, so there's even the potential for 440i nomenclature to work its way into the mix). We'll have to wait until the car officially bows later this year to know for sure.

Renderings may show upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

We've already shown you spy images of the latest member of the BMW Gran Coupe family, the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Following the trend of the larger 6 Series Gran Coupe, the 4 Series variant grafts a spare set of doors onto its two-door body.
Now, the f30post forum has come up with what it says are patent drawings of the new 4GC (originally from Chinese site Autohome.com), giving a glimpse of what the coupe-sedan-thingy looks like without its camo in the way. What we're seeing is seemingly a mix of the 3 Series GT (noticeable around the rear window) with the larger Gran Coupe styling, while retaining the current 4 Series front end.
We can't say it looks great, but as these are merely renderings, it's far too early for us to come to a final conclusion on the overall look of the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Have a look up top at the patent images. We've also included our spy photos of the new Gran Coupe below. Let us know what you think of the latest niche product from BMW down in Comments.
