1988 Bmw M6 on 2040-cars
Willows, California, United States
Original window sticker and dealer invoice as well as the certification from BMW Group Classic Archives-Munich Germany.
Engine bay was de-cosmoline’d with full cosmetic restoration (just about everything was either replaced, re-plated, or powder coated)
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. Also had the air box, valve cover & air plenum soda blasted and powder-coated.
• Replaced coolant reservoir/cap & washer reservoir/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, 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 driver’s side door armrest. The rest of the interior is in immaculate condition.
• 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. Included is a rear suspension SLS delete kit with M-Tech springs, Bilstein shocks, and hardware.
• 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.
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.

2015 BMW M4 Convertible is here to put wind in your sails
Thu, 03 Apr 2014Each generation of the BMW M3 has included a convertible model. Even the distant E30, the patriarch of the M3 line, had an ultra-rare (only 787 were built) droptop model. The convertible became more common on the successive generations, with the hardtop-convertible E93 being the most recent. Considering this history, there seemed very little doubt that as the M3 became the M4, a convertible would be in the cards. Now, the new droptop has arrived.
Set for its global debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 BMW M4 Convertible features, like its forbearers, everything that's great about the hardtop variant while adding an unlimited amount of head room. That means the same 3.0-liter, 425-horsepower, 406-pound-foot, twin-turbocharged straight six sits under its domed hood, while either a six-speed stick or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission dispatches power to the fat rear tires.
As for specific differences between the hardtop and the new convertible, obviously, the droptop is heavier. A lot heavier. Where an M4 with a six-speed manual tips the scales at 3,530 pounds, the M4 Convertible weighs in at 4,055 pounds. Believe it or not, BMW has actually trimmed 90 pounds from the last-generation M3 convertible, code-named E93. This marginal weight reduction from the third-generation convertible to the fourth is barely half of the 174 pounds BMW was able to subtract when transitioning from M3 Coupe to M4 Coupe.
BMW and Mini shuffle NA management, McDowell to retire
Wed, 04 Dec 2013BMW and Mini recently shuffled top personnel in their design departments, and now BMW of North America will reorganize its management to improve customer relations. Peter Miles (pictured), currently the executive vice president of operations, will take a newly created position, vice president of sales channel development and customer relations, while Jim McDowell, vice president of Mini of the Americas, will retire.
Chris Koenders, president of BMW Group Netherlands, will move take Miles' spot as executive vice president of operations. David Duncan, western region vice president, will take McDowell's job as vice president of Mini of the Americas. Finishing off the management switcharoo is Peter Witt, who will move from his current position as Managing Director of BMW Sweden to take Duncan's job as western region vice president.
"We are intensifying our customer-driven focus and these changes will influence the entire organization to continue improving all phases of the customer journey from prospect to purchase and throughout the ownership cycle," says Ludwig Willisch, president and CEO of BMW NA. For more information on the management reorganization, check out the press release below.
2014 BMW 6 Series M Sport family to start from $80,625*
Fri, 17 May 2013BMW shoppers looking for sportier and more luxurious versions of the 6 Series and 6 Series Gran Coupe without stepping up to the mighty M6 now have something new to check out. Offered on all versions of the 640i and 650i for the 2014 model year, the company's M Sport Edition package goes on sale in June with prices starting at $80,625 for the 640i Coupe, $83,325 for the 640i Gran Coupe and $87,925 for the 640i Convertible (*all prices including $925 for destination).

With price increases of well over $5,000 for the M Sport Edition, this package also includes plenty of standard features like the company's Professional hi-fi audio system, head-up display, ConnectedDrive Navigation and - wait for it - a ski bag.
