PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND TO THE END ? 1988 BMW 635 CSI ...Black on Grey leather. selling this nice, smooth, very strong ride...................LEGENDARY SHARK NOSE I have 2 of this model and an 88 M6 MODEL too! so far I owned 7 since 1981 so you can tell I am very well familiar with these cars ..it is a love affair I have taken care of this car so much since I purchased it over 2 years ago .. I did as much as any hard core BMW loving enthusiast will do . first I want you to be very very well sure of that this car runs great , and as you see it looks very good too..but no matter how good the pictures are !? always the reality is different a lot or a bet !every one knows that and agrees! this car turns heads every where I go in it ! I get so many thumps up and compliments! like I am in a very exotic car !!! and indeed I am IT IS AN EXOTIC CAR regardless of the value and it was branded and called the best looking car BMW ever made until the 90's hands down and still over power the Z models looks.. ' pros : IF YOU DO NOT SEE IT LISTED PLEASE DO NOT ASSUME IT IS INCLUDED OR IT IS IN A FINE CONDITION.. The car starts right up and runs very smooth..I have never had an overheat issue in it! I changed the radiator for other issue!! nor ever had a major mechanical problem!?just regular maintenance and more . I included a list of what I did to it since I had it almost more than 2 years a go. . it has never had any smoke or leaky valve guides or any leakage of any kind .. it has that famous Very clean strong motor the one it was called the (BULLET PROOF) engine combined renowned Moto-Ronic trans that shifts very smooth. the Car drives tight and handles very well. These cars are the European muscle cars of the 80's only more smooth and solid. The body is in excellent original condition with only 1 minor ding.Look at the pictures!? No rust of any kind ...only 2 surface peeling from rain water ! the leather is Nice and clean but shows age ! All the trim is in good nice shape. Factory bumper plastic still in great shape. underneath the car still in great shape and has no issues !. Power sunroof works great. Power windows go up and down just fine . All the switches are in great functioning condition ..power lock works great .. both the power seats work great.. Both Doors and panels leather is in excellent shape .. just the back of the Driver's door local handle place where it's held to get shut ! and it is very hidden too !you have to really come very close to see the back of it as well as the carpet. The leather seats look very good as you see in the pictures ! ...they just only show regular usage with creases but no rips or tears ! I have changed and fixed the following parts and more : New Fuel Sending unit New fuel pump New fuel filter New fuel pressure regulator New thermostat &Coolant flush , bleed the system New (idle control valve) New Battery New fresh Oil Change New fuel filter, New radiator , NEW belt NEW fan clutch New Air Filter New ALPINE CD removable face sound system ..the original Radio was bad and not working at all .. New whole front steering suspension (both tie rods and center link ) + Front end alignment.. New fresh complete 20-50 oil change .. new front and back brake pads and serviced the master cylinder Brake system.. New filter for the power steering pump and whole service and fresh fluid I tried my best to convey but please do not hesitate to ask more questions ? ask for more pictures if you wish ?! I do not mind take more and send them to you if you send me your e mail ? {{{{cons:}}}}} this car just only needs a little TLC and very minor things to be a real nice classic 635 CSI shark! you can tell exactly what it needs cosmetically by looking at the pictures .. the driver's side seat cushion only has the biggest issue ! just a separation in the stitching !!. the Dash has only 2 small unnoticeable cracks from the Florida sun ..look at the pics.. All enthusiasts know that no car of this era and in particular this model have ever escaped this issue ! except very very few !! of course the ones that were kept inside a garage or covered almost at all time ! or the ones who covered the dash only and kept it cool at all time from the start since they were new! except those who lived in a cold climate most of the time and they did not see hardly any heat ! the paint is in very good shiny condition on the sides of the car ! but on top of the car it got faded a little but only on top of the car ( the center of hood ,the top of the car , the center of trunk ) it got dulled out by FLORIDA sun ! I was told a good experienced paint man who can do a wet sanding can bring the shine back the driver seat cushion needs re stitching job or just new fixing ..I was quoted $150 ! I was going to fix it but I wanted to wait on the final selling price ?!if its fair ?! you must know that these cars have never changed since 1977 and they are from the 70's Auto design !! Back then they used the polyurethane for rubber parts as well as plastic parts! instead of the new synthetic rubber and plastic that stands for high temps !! they did not use the new technology material back then yet !? because it was not available ..until the 90's so those dashes and other trim parts material kept cracking and twisting easily !! if you had them exposed for a prolonged periods of time to the sunshine heat... when they start to cool they crack and become deformed ! that's why they needed to be covered or kept away in the shade from the direct sun shine heat ?! .. The in dash (( front fan blower switch )) works only on the first low speed but the rear A/C switch and fan both work great !!. .currently I am looking for that front in dash fan switch the A/C works great !! why I know that ? ...because I charged the system when I bought the car and it got very cold then ! but sadly it got warm over a month period..!!! since I owned so many of same 6 series model ! they almost all had the same problem over and over ......! .... throughout the years,!! I learned and become to know that it was a lingering problem in the 80's for all 3-5-6-7 series's!! and still with the most modern new models too !!?.... you can research this matter and find that out for your self ? I guess the BMW German makers either did not care about A/C ! to design it good ?! .....or even to improve it over the years ?!! OR .....they might thought that it does not get's very hot out side Germany back then ?! or it is the same weather temperature all over the world as in Germany ?! So I got used to this issue and did not care for any of A/C any more ! if it was or was not working any way ! I did enjoyed and still enjoy and love those cars the way they are any way ! ..they bring back great memories !! I drove these cars only on the weekends !... this one it is in a great running condition I would not be afraid to use it all the time ?! and it could be used as a daily driver ! These cars are a great investment and will only go up in value in the very near future. You just don't see any model car like these on the streets or roads any more I just do not want to keep spending any more money on it ! I have 2 more 6 model classic series models to worry about and do that on!!! I wish I could keep this car !? but right now I don't have the space nor the time . ================================ ///M NOTICE ///M =================================== OLD CARS WILL NEVER BE NEW AGAIN , NOR GOING TO DRIVE LIKE NEW ONE ! OR LOOK LIKE NEW ONCE MORE ?! UNLESS IT IS IN AN AWESOME TOP COLLECTOR SHAPE WHICH HAS BEEN PRESERVED IN A GREAT CONDITION BUT THAT IS A RARE FIND !ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS KEPT VERY CONSERVATIVELY AWAY FROM DAILY USAGE OR IT HAS BEEN RESTORED BACK TO THE ORIGINAL FACTORY PERFECT SHAPE ! OR KEPT IN ABOVE AVERAGE SHAPE AND IT HAS BEEN SPENT ON EXTENSIVELY TO MAINTAIN IT BY THE OWNER / S AND HAVE BEEN USED VERY RESPONSIBLY ON A DAILY BASES ! THOSE CARS CARRY A RANGE OF VERY VERY EXPENSIVE ,TO A VERY HIGH PRICE ,TO EXPENSIVE AND OVER MARKET VALUE PRICE AND SOME HAVE USED AND ENJOYED AND STILL IN GOOD AN AVERAGE CONDITION ! AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN ABUSED BEYOND HELP MY CAR IS AN AVERAGE CLASSIC CAR IT HAS BEEN USED BUT NOT ABUSED ! IT WAS TAKEN CARE OF NORMALLY BY NORMAL PEOPLE BUT NOT A HARD CORE COLLECTORS !

Watch the BMW i8 get wrung out on the Ring
Thu, 24 Apr 2014Been wondering where the heck the reviews of the all-new, plug-in-hybrid BMW i8 have been? After all, the car isn't exactly new, having debuted in concept form way back in September of 2009. In August of last year, we even tested a prototype of the new supercar. Despite that, though, we still haven't gotten a crack at the actual vehicle that will be sold to the public.
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're currently testing the i8 and will have a proper review for you soon. If, however, you're just aching for some coverage of the low-slung plug-in, we have a short video of it in action around Germany's famed Nürburgring.
Despite it's three-cylinder, turbocharged gas engine, the i8 sounds pretty angry as it laps the Ring. That is, until it has a little bit of a breakdown. According to the guys that caught the car on video, it appeared the i8 had a minor brake issue, and was parked on the side of the track for a good 15 minutes, with the driver pumping the brakes. We should probably just take this as proof, then, that manufacturers are actually using the Ring for testing, and not just messing about.
BMW i3 to be priced around $40,000
Mon, 06 May 2013According to Automotive News, the BMW i3 electric hatchback will likely be priced around $40,000, or similar to that of a well-equipped 3 Series sedan, when it goes on sale later this year. This information was revealed during an interview where AN spoke to Ludwig Willisch, CEO of BMW North America. The i3 will likely qualify for a $7,500 tax credit from the US federal government, though AN reports that a BMW spokesperson could not confirm this just yet.
In addition to the all-electric i3, BMW will offer a range-extended version that uses a 0.65-liter two-cylinder motorcycle engine and auxiliary generator to charge the car's battery on the go. Automotive News says pricing for this model is still unclear, as is whether or not the range-extended i3 will be eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. Of course, buyers needing a vehicle for longer trips will be able to borrow one from the automaker.
Automotive News also reports that the majority of BMW's 338 dealers in the United States will be able to sell the i3, as well as the upcoming i8 hybrid sports car. Dealerships have until June of this year to opt out of this program, however.
Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
