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!

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

One of the many perks of this job is, not surprisingly, the cars. It's relatively easy to snag the keys to a vehicle for a special occasion, whether that be for a road trip, tailgating or helping a friend move. And while sometimes the tailgating might happen with a Ford F-150 instead of a Range Rover and the road trip might be in a minivan rather than a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, occasionally the stars align and a special vehicle arrives for an equally special time.
That's exactly how I found myself dressed to the nines and behind the wheel of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a $135,375 (as-tested) rocket ship, en route to a rare multi-wedding weekend to celebrate with two pairs of my closest friends on the biggest day of their lives (a very special congratulations to Kara and Zach, and Laura and Andrew). Continuing with our nuptial theme, the M mechanicals and the 6 Series Gran Coupe body are a match made in heaven.

Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head

Mon, 06 May 2013

BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.

Toyota passes BMW as most valuable car brand

Tue, 21 May 2013

An annual market study of the strongest brands across various industries has seen Toyota leapfrog BMW as the world's most valuable automotive brand. Toyota's 2013 brand value rose to $24.5 billion, up 12 percent versus 2012 numbers according to market research company Millward Brown's BrandZ Top 100 Most Valuable Global Brands list. BMW's value fell slightly; down by 2 percent to a total of $24 billion.
Mercedes-Benz finished in third place in the automotive category, up 11 percent from 2012 for a valuation of $18 billion. Honda ($12.4 billion, down 2 percent) and Nissan ($10.2 billion, up 3 percent) rounded out the top five for the category. Volkswagen was the only other auto brand that finished in the top 100 overall, in 100th place. Audi made the greatest percentage gain over 2012, up 18 percent to $5.5 billion, but finished outside of the top 100.
Technology companies dominated the overall list, with Apple, Google and IBM ranking one through three. Couture brand Prada was 2013's biggest gainer, rising by 63 percent over 2012.
