The BMW 6-Series isn't a recent invention and in the '70s and '80s cars like this 1984 633CSi were the top-of-the-line in personal luxury transportation with a sporting flavor. Today they're growing in popularity as collector's items and nicely maintained unmodified examples like this are sure to be on the short list of European car fans everywhere. Shockingly this long sleek coupe still wears its factory paint. The burgundy finish is still extremely nice and for a collector that counts as a big bonus. It's also a testament to the quality of the original finish as it still shines up beautifully and looks fantastic under any conditions. That original paint also means that this car has never been hit or rusty and even in the '80s BMW's build quality was impressive. Sleek styling made the 6-Series the envy of the industry and there weren't many competitors on the far side of the pond and over here it was competing with totally different machines like the Cadillac El dorado and Lincoln Mark VI-hardly an apples-to-apples comparison wouldn't you say? The bumpers are in excellent shape and haven't been cooked into a dusty gray mess by the sun and all the chrome is still good needing nothing more than an occasional buff to remain shiny. The tan leather interior boasts some of the era's most comfortable bucket seats because BMW's reputation as a driver's car was firmly established in 1984. Again it's all original and while there's minor wear on the seating surfaces themselves there are no cracks in the leather and the materials underneath are still supportive enough to be all-day comfortable. The black dashboard is rather dramatic with a pod ahead of the driver hosting a full array of highly legible white-on-black instruments and an upper tier with the A/C vents. New Pioneer Stereo/CD player with Bluetooth phone and iPod input
The center stack has the controls for the A/C system plus a fully-functional trip computer!
the back seat looks almost completely unused. The 6 also offered a spacious trunk that carries its original mats and a complete factory tool kit. BMW's famous line of inline-six engines were the foundation of their lineup for years and years for good reason. The 3.2-liter six was given Bosch fuel injection and electronic controls in 1980 making for a substantial boost in power and reliability and for turbine-like smoothness it's hard to beat. Extensive recent service work includes (all done in the past 300 miles or less at a total cost of around $3,000)
mechanical valve adjustment, new spark plugs and coils, fresh oil change, coolant flush, Spectre Cool Air Intake, New Pioneer Stereo/CD player with Bluetooth phone and iPod input, New ABS wheels with new Tires and freshly cleaned fuel injectors so it runs superbly. It's backed by the highly-desirable 5-speed manual transmission that makes the car a joy to drive and the supple yet athletic independent suspension and 4-wheel disc brakes guarantee that it's always entertaining to drive. It currently wears 15-inch BBS wheels from a later 5-Series but the original 14-inch alloys are included with the sale. A very impressive car that's gaining traction as a collectible. Buy this one now and be ahead of the curve and have an extremely enjoyable car to boot. This vehicle is located in Mansfield, Ohio

BMW revisits its 8 Series

Thu, 04 Jul 2013

So why would BMW choose July 2 to release a retrospective on the 8 Series? Could it have something to do with the recent unveiling of the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe concept, another sleek, B-pillarless V12 two-door, at this year's Villa d'Este? We have no idea, but the timing is likely coincidental.
This three-minute look at the 8 Series talks to Niels Hamann, who was smitten with the long-hooded coupe when it appeared in 1989 and finally bought one in 2004. Hamann also happens to be a project manager at BMW, and that came in handy when he wrote a book detailing every aspect of what was BMW's flagship for ten years but to the chagrin of many only managed one generation.
While we wait for the next clue about the Gran Lusso - 8 Series connection, check out the video below.

2013 BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

Sic Transit Gloria
I like difficult cars. I like turbo "moments," dramatic weight distribution, low-grip, peaky power delivery, and overly quick steering, along with ultra-short wheelbases and any number of other non-racecar-perfect dynamic foibles. I love the newest generation of BMW cars and engines - all turbo'd up with tons of torque and power everywhere in the rev range, too. But what I think the enthusiast community will miss when this 2013 M3 Coupe becomes the 2014 M4 Coupe - replacing its idiosyncratic, small-displacement, revvy V8 for something like a triple-turbo, directly injected, inline six-cylinder powerhouse in the process - is the work it takes to drive the car fast and perfectly. Sometimes small flaws just make things better; my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, and all that.
The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. This generation of M car is already surpassed in terms of raw thrills by the better-than-ever Mercedes-Benz C63, a car that doesn't ask its driver to sacrifice low-end grunt or the very latest in amenities in return for stellar backroad performance. Yet any time I've been lucky enough to lap a track in the M3, it has quickly become clear that the Bimmer is the better on-edge tool. With the freedom to wring the neck of the 4.0-liter V8 and room to exercise the lovely balance of the car, the E92 is hard to match (even six years after its debut).

BMW Vision Future Luxury arrives in Beijing dressed to the nines

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Almost two weeks ago, we reported that BMW may be bringing a concept to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show that could herald a flagship 9 Series model that would be better suited to do battle with the tip-top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range than the current 7 Series. Well, here it is. This is the Vision Future Luxury Concept, and straight away, it looks suited to the role of ultra-luxury flagship.
In our original story, we reported that the Beijing concept would wear styling similar to the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe that was shown in Villa d'Este nearly a year ago. Unlike that car, the Vision Future Luxury sports four doors, although its roofline plunges aggressively enough for it to be considered a four-door coupe. That doesn't mean it will compromise on rear-seat space, however. Judging by the length of the rear doors alone, this is a very large vehicle.
Its styling, though, is, as we reported, quite familiar. We can see the evolution of the Concours' concept's styling, with a narrower grille that still leads up into the hood. The thin headlights use BMW's Laserlight technology while retaining a shape similar to the Gran Lusso, and the lower intake is dominated by a carbon-fiber air deflector on both ends. BMW's Air Breather system can be found behind the front wheels, adding an accent along the lower portion of the doors. In back, organic LED lighting is used for the super-slim taillights.
