PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in good to very good, 99% rust-free condition overall. The repaint of four years ago and $3,000 was not then, nor is it now concourse. It is a presentable ten-foot original color respray over a very clean, near perfectly rust-free body. It is fairly nice and under closer inspection you will find some minor blemishe, nicks, overspray and scratches here and there. The original small chrome euro bumpers and trim are in still decent condition. The rear license plate has been trimmed to fit the rear valance. The nice clean 18" wheels give the car a great stance [fair to good tires].  

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this turbo 6er shark is in very good to excellent condition overall! It sports a PRISTINE, 99.9% crack-free dash, excellent door panels, clean black leather electric "comfort" seats, redone headliner, nice original carpeting with ALL of the gauges and controls working as they should! NOTE: You may choose the electric black leather M6 sport seats instead of the comfor seats. see photo link. Also in addition to the Nardi sport wheel you may have the original three-spoke steering wheel.

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic 635CSi TURBO is FABULOUS TO DRIVE! With approximately 350 horsepower on tap with similar torque numbers, this car accelerates very well with great verve. Check out the little acceleration video pitted againts the Dinan turbo E28 which is rated at about 380 horsepower. It is definitely faster than an E24 M6! The engine starts right up with nice growl and turbo sounds when driving. The suspension is firm but not punishing with excellent responsive steering, the transmission [NOT gogleg] is smooth and grind-free shifting. This is a truly satisfying car to drive with very nice presence on the road!

BMW hires Ferrari chief engineer Fedeli

Wed, 08 Oct 2014

There's going to be a little bit more Prancing Horse in some future BMWs because the Bavarian brand is hiring Ferrari chief engineer Roberto Fedeli to join the company in November. Fedeli's new position is still somewhat of a mystery though, and he reportedly might be lending his talents to the high performance M division or possibly even Rolls-Royce. When asked by Automotive News Europe, BMW said that it "currently can't say what his role will be."
Regardless of his new job, Fedeli was a big get for BMW because of his strong résumé. He has been with Ferrari since 1988 and led the engineering for the famous Italian automaker's vehicles since 2007. Fedeli tendered his resignation in September at around the same time that chairman Luca di Montezemolo announced his decision to leave the company. However, Ferrari told ANE that there was no connection between the two events.

The 2014 Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio powers up luxury and speed

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The BMW specialists at Alpina know how to exploit a niche when they see one. With the BMW M4 still not technically official, it saw the need for a higher performance four-seat convertible than the 435i 'vert. Enter the new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio that is debuting at the Geneva Motor Show.
The European-exclusive model takes BMW's 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-6 and massages it up to 410 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, which is less power but more twist than the M4 would give buyers. Alpina's tend to be built more as quick, luxurious grand tourers, and the B4 Bi-Turbo gets is no different with an adaptive sport suspension and an eight-speed automatic. Plus it wears the classic pinstripes and 21-spoke wheels that are the brand's design hallmarks.
While the added weight for the convertible means that the Cabrio takes 4.5 seconds to reach 62 miles per hour, about a half-second slower than the coupe, at the moment it is the only way to get this kind of performance in a BMW convertible. Orders for the convertible open in March in Europe and prices in Germany start at 74,800 euros ($102,878 at today's conversion rates).

BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.
