Beautiful 1988 BMW M6.  Looks great and runs great.  A classic that will never go out of style.  I have had five 2002's but always wanted a vintage 6 series.  I found this car in 2010 and have cared for it since.  Prior to my purchase the car was brought into the great shape it is in now.  The exterior was stripped and new paint applied.  The paint job is a strength of the car.  It looks like new, shines bright and draws attention to the car.  I have done my part by driving only on good weather days and keeping the car garaged.  There is no rust whatsoever that I am aware of.  


Mechanical work done before I bought the car included a new clutch, new catalytic converter, distributor cap and rotor, ignition wires and plugs, hood struts, tail lens and rear brake rotors.  Since I bought the car I have installed a new alternator, new battery, new radiator, new power steering belt and power steering gear box.  Mechanically I know of nothing that it needs.  It cranks every time and runs like a champ.  I commute about 20 miles each way and drive the car about once a week.  It is a pleasure to drive.  We recently drove to the Vintage in Winston-Salem, NC and she pulled hard the whole way.  I would take her cross-country without a second thought.

The interior is original with full white leather.  The power seats work as do the power windows and mirrors.  The AC blows strong and cold.  Living in the south that is a must.  The carpet is in good shape.  I have red and black coco mats in the floor.  They are in excellent shape.  The head-liner is original but in good shape.  There is a small crack in the dash that just happened (I don't know why since the car is never in the sun - I have included a picture).  The odometer worked when I got the car.  At that time it showed 64,750 miles.  It is not currently working but since 2010 I have put no more than 2,000 miles on the car max. 

I bought new wheels and tires last year.  They are 17" Ultra Alpine 402 wheels with 205-50-17 Nexen N5000 tires.  The tires have less than 500 miles on them.

I installed a new Kenwood receiver with SiriusXM radio, CD and aux connection for iPod.  The face detaches for theft protection.  New speakers were installed as well.

Why am I selling?  A three year "M2" project is finally finishing and I need the garage space for that special car.  Something has to go.  My lose can be your gain.

Shipping is the responsibility of the purchaser and a $750.00 deposit is due within 48 hours of winning bidder.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  This is a chance to own an M car that really stands out.  As with any 25 year old car it is sold without warranty and "as is".  Happy bidding!

Mazda Turnpike in Japan shut down for racing

Mon, Dec 29 2014

The people behind Motorhead Magazine in Japan clearly have some friends in high places. Not only did they manage to shutdown eight kilometers of the Mazda Turnpike up the Hakone mountain, but they invited some of the country's premiere racers to take a drive up the hill. This wasn't just a Sunday cruise either. Featuring a BMW Z4 from the Super GT series, a classic Ford GT40, two flavors of Nissan GT-R and two takes on the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, these guys came ready to run. When an opportunity to let racecars challenge a curvy mountain road presents itself, you don't squander it. Thankfully, the folks at Motorhead knew that and outfitted the course with a plethora of cameras and high-quality sound equipment to capture the action. The result is nothing short of sublime. Take the video's urging to turn up your speakers for this one, and watch as these racers hit ludicrous speeds in a beautiful place never meant for them.

Did BMW drag its feet on Mini recall?

Mon, Sep 28 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into BMW's reporting of a recall for 30,456 examples of the 2014-2015 Mini Cooper Hardtop, Cooper S, and the 2015 John Cooper Works. According to the government, "it appears from a review of NHTSA's databases that BMW may have failed to submit recall communications to NHTSA in a timely manner." The automaker issued the recall in July because crash tests showed the models didn't meet side impact requirements for passengers in the back seat. While there were no reported injuries at the time, the company decided to install energy-absorbing material in the space between the rear interior panels and the exterior. However, NHTSA has decided to investigate whether this campaign should have started much earlier, given the evidence the company had. According to the government's report, the Cooper Hardtop failed side-impact tests in 2014, although one of these tests was five-miles-per-hour faster than the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. The agency claims: "In January 2015 BMW verbally committed that it would conduct a service campaign to add padding to the rear side panels of MY 2015 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Cooper models. However, BMW did not initiate the service campaign and failed to inform NHTSA of its failure to do so." A subsequent crash test of an example with this fix showed it to make the vehicle compliant with the rules. Mini spokesperson Mariella Kapsaskis told Autoblog: "Regarding the NHTSA audit query, BMW Group is evaluating the request and will respond to NHTSA as appropriate." INVESTIGATION Subject : BMW Reporting & Timely Recall Execution Date Investigation Opened: SEP 24, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: AQ15004 Component(s): STRUCTURE All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) MINI COOPER 2014-2015 MINI COOPER S 2014-2015 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 2015 Details Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: NHTSA is opening this AQ to better understand and evaluate BMW's process(es) for its notification procedures and for timely and efficient execution of its safety recall campaigns. In mid-2014, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) had side impact moving deformable barrier (MDB) tests performed on two model year (MY) 2014 Mini 2 Door Hardtop Coopers. These two tests were performed at a speed 5 mph higher than required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 214, Side impact protection.

BMW spied testing new Alpina B7

Thu, Jul 9 2015

Just last month BMW released the 2016 7 Series, ushering in a new era for the Bavarian automaker's flagship luxury sedan. And fans of big European performance sedans know what that means: Yes, a V12 model to follow, and maybe an M Performance variant at some point in the future. But before that, we're getting a new Alpina B7. Spied leaving BMW's test center at the Nurburgring, this camouflaged prototype for the new B7 appears to be wearing Alpina's signature low-key visual enhancements. Those include a subtle aero kit and upgraded rolling stock. Though we're only looking at it from the outside, you can expect the interior to feature some similarly discreet upgrades as well. The bigger question is what Alpina will have done to the new 7 underneath the bodywork. The outgoing B7 packed a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 540 horsepower and nearly as much torque, netting a 0-60 time quoted at 4.3 seconds and an autobahn-crunching top speed of 194 miles per hour. Hardly a slouch, then, but the new Alpina B7 is tipped to pack 600 horsepower or more, which ought to give the high-powered, high-speed, and high-end likes of the Mercedes-AMG S63, Audi S8, Maserati Quattroporte, and Jaguar XJR a run for their considerable money. We smell a battle heating up amidst all that burning rubber and sumptuous leather.
