1987 Bmw M6 Base Coupe 2-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Bennington, Vermont, United States
|
After almost a decade of ownership; I've decided that it is best to sell my beloved M6 in the pursuit of musicianship and farther travels in our Vanimal. There has been a lot of downtime on the car giving it TLC. But as listed below there is more to be done, hopefully performed by a true enthusiast/mechanic of these cars. It was previously owned by a doctor in Williamstown, MA. Being the only car in the now torn down Alcaro Motors Used Cars lot; it had some serious presence! Presence which gives even a timid 17 year old that "gotta have it" gleam with widened eyes. It immediately need attention with a new battery and Valve Adjustment. Many of these tasks were completed with the help of my father; who is a Veteran mechanic of close to 30 years. I'm 24 years old now and it was a worthwhile experience. This M6's condition has improved in many ways but I'll admit it will need more TLC to continue life and of course it is strictly a summer car. Just before putting this car in the garage for the winter, the major troubles included a power steering leak @ the hydroboost block, bad passenger side body to window seal, front control arms, an untraced fuel smell, and a leaky catalytic converter/muffler. Though since purchasing this car in 2007 I have only driven it 15,000 miles and have replaced: 1. the self leveling suspension with 635i Sport shocks/springs (The SLS is all available as parts) 2. The Instrument Cluster Circuit Board 3. The Starter with a Bosch remanfactured from BavAuto 4. The Alternator 5. The Stereo was professionally replaced with an Alpine USB headunit/power amp/speakers 6. The Valve Lash was adjusted around 5,000 miles ago, all measurements were done with a metric micrometer/feeler gauges 7. High/Low Pressure Power steering lines from PS Pump to reservoir/PS Pump to Hydroboost Block. 8. Valve Cover Gasket 9. Oil Pan Gasket (That was a real PITA) 10. Cap/Rotor/Plugs/Hi Perf. Wires all from BavAuto 11. All Coolant Hoses/Radiator/Thermostat/ T-stat Housing 12. Main/Transfer Fuel Pump/Fuel Filter 13. Front Brake Calipers Rebuilt 14. Stainless Brake Hoses installed 15. 4 Yokohama ES100's installed just after purchasing car, rear tires now have negative camber wear 16. Air Filter 17. Both Oil Cooler Lines/Oil Filter Distribution Gasket Replaced That's all I could think of off the top of my head, I have a partial maintenance table available on spreadsheet; it would be more complete but hard-drives are unreliable, A chronological booklet of receipts will be available once the car is sold/or a test drive is taken. This car will be available for pick-up at your expense; so bid wisely and understand that a reserve will be set. I trust this car will go to a great home! |

BMW 2 Series Convertible goes for a drive in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The BMW 2 Series is the car that will eventually replace the 1 Series here in the United States (remember: the 1 Series moniker will live on to describe the hatchback models in other markets), and while we've seen the new coupe out on the prowl, we're now seeing the droptop version out on the road. We don't have much information about the new 2er models, only that they are expected to bow sometime in 2014.
Dimensionally, the new 2 Series convertible looks very similar in size to its outgoing 1 Series kin, with things like the roofline and roof shape looking nearly identical. Of course, reworked front and rear fascias are immediately noticeable, and judging by what little we can see, it appears as though the small BMW will take many of its design cues from the larger 3 Series rather than the oft-awkward-looking 1 Series hatch that's currently available in Europe.
Assuming things are still on track for 2014, we won't rule out a possible debut in Geneva, though the Frankfurt expo in September makes even more sense.
BMW hires Ferrari chief engineer Fedeli
Wed, 08 Oct 2014There's going to be a little bit more Prancing Horse in some future BMWs because the Bavarian brand is hiring Ferrari chief engineer Roberto Fedeli to join the company in November. Fedeli's new position is still somewhat of a mystery though, and he reportedly might be lending his talents to the high performance M division or possibly even Rolls-Royce. When asked by Automotive News Europe, BMW said that it "currently can't say what his role will be."
Regardless of his new job, Fedeli was a big get for BMW because of his strong résumé. He has been with Ferrari since 1988 and led the engineering for the famous Italian automaker's vehicles since 2007. Fedeli tendered his resignation in September at around the same time that chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced his decision to leave the company. However, Ferrari told ANE that there was no connection between the two events.
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer corners surprisingly flat on 'Ring
Mon, 07 Jul 2014With seven seats and front-wheel drive, you might not expect the upcoming long-wheelbase version of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer to live up to the Ultimate Driving Machine reputation that BMW has fostered over the years. But the latest spy clip from the Nürburgring suggests otherwise.
The Bavarian automaker has apparently been testing its new people mover on the Nordschleife, getting it ready to join the growing 2 Series family. And though it's wearing heavy camouflage, we can clearly see from the video below that it's cornering impressively flat - which bodes well for those who'll need to transport their expanding family but aren't prepared to give up on handling.
