VIN:WBAEC310XB559190 You are bidding on a 1981 BMW 635 CSI. This is a manual/stick shift. This is a Euro car with a clear Pennsylvania title. This car was sold in Germany and eventually brought legally into the U.S. sometime in the 90's, I think. I have the owner's manual in German and also the original person who purchased it in Germany is in the book. Kind of cool. The dashboard was replaced and the odometer along with it. The original odometer is still in the trunk and is up to 174,000 miles. I cannot say with any accuracy how many miles have been put on since. Please read carefully so you can fully understand the car you are bidding on and the condition of the vehicle. The car is sold As Is. My goal is to be as honest as possible. If you have a question that is not answered below send me an email. I will answer promptly. I am also available to talk live if you prefer. THERE IS NO RESERVE.

The Good
The exterior of this BMW is gorgeous. It's really a cool color and different than anything else out there with a unique gold. There is a small paint chip about the size of a dime on the trunk of the car. Other than that the outside is really in solid shape. The tires are almost brand new and the rims are nice. Three of the rims have the BMW logo in the center. One does not. The tires will pass inspection as well as the brakes. The brakes make this odd chirping sound which I was told is the calipers. It doesn't make it all the time but sometimes. However they brakes are safe and will absolutely pass inspection. The clutch is good and the car shifts flawlessly. This BMW drives great. It shifts, accelerates, and handles like you would expect from a BMW. The best I can tell from my experience is the engine is in solid shape. Between the rims, tires, engine and exterior metal the car is easily worth $1,500 with those pieces.

Inspection
The car passed inspection in North Carolina last year. This is where I purchased it. It does not pass inspection in Pennsylvania. Your state may vary on what is required as some states are more stringent than others. The lights, turn signal, brakes, and tires all pass inspection. I will explain the difficulties with the PA inspection below.

The OK
The seats are in OK condition. There is wear you would expect and the front seats have some rips in the leather. You would definitely want to get it fixed or put a cover over it. However you don't have to. There is nothing uncomfortable about it. It's just cosmetic. The floor on the interior of the car is also OK. It is a little worn as you would expect for a 32 year old car. I am uncertain if it will come back to natural color with a good carpet cleaning. The tool set in the trunk still has the place for all the tools and about 1/2 the tools. It's mostly the wrenches. The heat functions OK. It seems to work better coming from the defroster than the vents but it was enough that I was able to keep warm driving it in 35 degree weather.

The Bad
The sway bar needs to be replaced as well as the left tie rod. The exhaust from the beginning to the catalytic converter are in GOOD shape. Beyond the catalytic converter it's shot. The good news is you do NOT need to replace the catalytic converter forward. Just the piping to the back of the muffler. There is small hole about the size of a softball in the bottom of the car on the drivers side. You cannot see it from inside the car and I have not seen it underneath. The mechanic told me about it and guessed it would cost about $250 to fix. The sway bar, hole, and tie rods will need to be replaced to pass inspection in PA. I do not know the rules for other states but apparently it will pass in NC. The AC does not work. There is small rip in covering of one of the back speakers. It doesn't affect the speaker. The visor area is hanging a little. It does not disrupt anything and if you didn't look up you wouldn't notice it. This is an easy fix and would probably cost $50 from a shop or you could easily do it yourself.
There is one odd thing that just occurred. The windshield wipers are constantly on. I pulled the fuse to stop it. It's really strange because it just happened after 6 months. My guess it's a cross somewhere.

Closing
I wrote down everything I'm aware of it. Feel free to ask any questions. The car is great on the outside and runs fantastic. It's really a question of if you are willing to put the time into it or pay a mechanic to do it. I had the sway bar and tie rod pieces prices out and they are not that expensive. The cost as with all things is your time or paying someone to do it. So it's simple math. Figure out what it would cost to get it to pass inspection and be safe, add in the cost of the bid on ebay. If that makes sense to you, bid with confidence.

2017 BMW M760i xDrive is an M and a 7, but not an M7

Wed, Mar 2 2016

It's still not a proper M7, but the BMW M760i has a lot to offer. For one, it comes with BMW's silky smooth, 6.6-liter V12, good for 600 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. It looks elegant, even in its Geneva Motor Show-spec shade of matte gray. In terms of baller status Bimmers, this is top-shelf stuff. Or is it? As I discussed in the earlier M760i post, the newly announced Alpina B7 xDrive has just as much power, is quicker to accelerate, and will run to a higher top speed. No, it doesn't come with that awesome V12, but it's a frickin' Alpina, complete with those super rad 21-inch wheels. But I digress. The M760i xDrive (that's all-wheel drive) is quite a beast to behold, and I'm sure it'll stack up nicely with the Mercedes-Benz S600s and Audi A8 W12s of the world. Check it out in the galleries above and below. View 18 Photos The All-New 2017 BMW M760i xDrive. - Superb performance and exceptional luxury combined. - The allure of the most powerful BMW V12 production engine. - First BMW 7 Series M Performance Automobile. Today, BMW announced the all-new BMW M760i xDrive, the latest addition to the BMW M Performance line-up. With the introduction of the 2017 BMW M760i xDrive, the sixth generation BMW 7 Series adds the first M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder to its offerings. The all-new BMW M760i xDrive combines luxurious driving, style, safety and innovative technologies while embodying M Performance dynamics with the integration of the first 12-cylinder gasoline engine with M Performance Twin Power Turbo technology. The BMW M760i xDrive will arrive early in 2017 and MRSP will be announced closer to launch. The allure of the most powerful BMW V12 production engine. The M Performance TwinPower Turbo 12-cylinder gasoline engine in the new BMW M760i xDrive has a displacement of 6,592 cc, developing 600 hp (preliminary figure) at 5,500 rpm and peak torque of 590 lb-ft from as low as 1,500 rpm. These performance figures enable the luxury sedan to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds (preliminary figure) and on to a governed top speed of 155 mph. During the development of the all-aluminum block, the engineers focused on maximizing rigidity while also minimizing weight. Using a closed- deck construction combined with bolts holding the cylinder head down on the bed plate of the crankcase, the engine ensures maximum stability on the cylinder liners.

Watch the BMW M4 GTS lap the Nurburgring in under 7:28

Tue, Dec 22 2015

When BMW unveiled the new M4 GTS back in October, it said it could lap the Nurburgring in 7 minutes and 28 seconds. That's all well and fine in terms of bragging rights, but what Bimmer enthusiasts have been waiting for is the proof. And here it is, in ultra-HD 4k glory. In the video above, you can see the new M4 GTS scything its way through the Green Hell of the Eifel mountains. Behind the wheel is M GmbH engineer and racing driver Joerg Weidinger, who helpfully narrates the video to show us exactly how he tackled each and every corner along the 14-mile circuit. Which may come in handy for those with a season pass to the Nordschleife, but the rest of us are more concerned with that lap time and how it holds up. To put it plainly, the 7:27.88 lap makes the new GTS not only the fastest in the M3/M4 line to date, but the fastest production Bimmer ever clocked around the 'Ring. It handily beats the previous M3 CSL (7:50) and the stock M4 (7:52), and even trounces more powerful Bavarian machinery like the Z8, M5, and M6. There've been a handful of BMW-powered racers, motorcycles, and prototypes (not to mention the McLaren F1) that have clocked faster times, but as far as four-wheeled, standard production Munich-mobiles go, the new M4 GTS is the new King of the Ring. It also just so happens to match or beat the best times clocked by the more exotic likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren MP4-12C, and Porsche Carrera GT – putting the M4 GTS in rare company indeed.

Is BMW ready to increase i8 production?

Fri, Nov 21 2014

The BMW i8 plug-in hybrid is really fast. But the car is getting to customers really slowly. The German automaker might be doing something about that. Bimmer executive Ian Robertson, speaking with reports at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week, commented on the high demand for the super-PHEV and said the company may step up production in Germany, Automotive News Europe says. That's because the wait list for the i8 is approaching 18 months in some global markets. And Robertson would like to get that timeframe down to about six months. No details were disclosed about how fast the i8 is being produced or how much faster that production rate may get. The i8, which retails for about $135,000, started sales in Europe in June and in the US two months later. As for the smaller, slower i3 electric vehicle, BMW is making about 2,000 units a month, and wait lists are down to about four months. Part of the reason for that is because BMW shifted distribution rates for that model towards the US to meet higher-than-expected demand from stateside consumers and slow German sales. Through the end of October in the US, BMW had sold almost 4,300 i3 vehicles and 271 i8 models, including 204 i8 units last month alone.
