Hello, I am selling my beautiful 1983 633csi. I need an economical vehicle and would consider a trade for a lower mileage quality vehicle that get 25 to 35 mpg. I live in Anaheim CA and I currently have the car stored their. You are welcome to inspect the car but we would need to coordinate doing so.

The car body, engine and transmission are in great condition. Engine runs strong, and it drives like a dream. Automatic transmission shifts smoothly. This car was babied. I purchased it a few years ago from a rather well off family who purchased it for their son who was going away to college. Little did they know, that their son was actually unable to have a car at college for his first year. So, instead of leaving it out in the weather, they decided to sell it. Me, (being a lover of classic cars) decided to purchase it. I am the third owner. The original owner used it as a Sunday driver. It was parked in his garage most of the time. He purchased it brand new in 83' and kept it well maintained. I have all of his receipts and papers about the maintenance and services done to the car. My father and I have tuned it and changed the oil ourselves since I have had it. My dad also had a professional window tint done on it a few years ago which makes it look even cooler.

This is a quality BMW driving machine but please remember it is a 30 year old classic. Here are some of the things to consider:

The 633 recently has a different color passenger fender due to someone denting the original in a parking lot. The paint is rather nice and clean, despite a few minor scratches. The air conditioning does not work but I have always liked just opening the sun roof and and enjoying the real air! The heater recently stopped working. The original leather interior is in very good condition, except for the driver and passenger seats, those have a tear on them. The rear passenger window does not roll down ( I assume it is the electric switch). The wheels are custom 16" chrome and could use some elbow grease to clean up better. Tires are ok for a few more thousand miles probably.

Despite those few minor faults, the car is gorgeous and as we all know it is a classic. Restored 633's sell for 10K or more and this one with minimal work and investment could be worth $5K to $7K. It is fully driveable and capable of going cross country if needed. It is registered till March 2015.

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.

China probing German automakers over spare parts

Sat, 26 Jul 2014

The Chinese market has proven to be a boon to German luxury automakers. However, the way that the companies have allegedly been controlling their supply of spare parts has begun to draw the ire of the nation's government. According to insiders speaking to Bloomberg, officials from the country's economic planning organization have opened a probe into Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and some Japanese carmakers over claimed price inflation and limiting supply.
Specifically, the investigation centers around two aspects of how the companies do business, according to Bloomberg. Investigators want to know whether the original equipment component makers are able to sell spare parts only to automaker-authorized dealers or if they are also available to independent shops. There is also the issue of whether the price markup on replacement pieces is too high. The tight controls could be partially explained by China's reputation for producing counterfeit parts.
Evidently, the investigators haven't checked parts prices at car dealers elsewhere in the world. At least in the US, paying more at the dealer for factory components just goes along with owning a vehicle. If evidence of price fixing is found, the companies could face fines the equivalent of millions of dollars, according to Bloomberg.

2014 BMW X5 configurator goes live

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies.
Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that load up extras automatically. There's also a do-it-yourself truck that allows owners to pick and choose if they're not enamored with the styling or trim of one of the dedicated packages. As usual, the options list is quite vast, regardless of which line is chosen. We were able to easily take the new, rear-drive X5 sDrive35i, which started at $52,800, and bring the total price up past $80,000.
The new X5 carries over its 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 from the current model, as well as BMW's excellent 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six. The X5 xDrive35d, with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will also be available on the third-generation SUV, but won't hit dealers until early 2014. BMW is stepping outside of the X5's usual bounds, offering a dedicated rear-drive model, available with all the same trimmings as the xDrive vehicles. Head over to BMW's US consumer page and have a go.
