1985 Bmw M6 European on 2040-cars
Cardiff by the Sea, California, United States
Up for sale is our BMW M6 European.This is a 140+ mph 1985 European version known as the M635csi. The car was purchased by a customer of ours in the 90's in Georgia. We are mechanics and not car dealers. He is a doctor and after storing the vehicle for 8 years, moved the car to San Diego. At that time the money was spent to register and smog the car in California. In 2011 over $2000 was spent on tune up parts as well as many items such as new brakes, battery etc. We have quite a bit of documentation on the maintenance of this vehicle. It has been beautifully maintained and is a very reliable and clean car inside and out. Mechanically it is very sound, and could be a daily driver if that is desired. The car has current registration and a clear title in the state of California. The miles are at 146,185. The car is in remarkable condition. It is an original car. We have found no rust on the vehicle, and as can be seen in the photos the interior is well preserved also. The car is in great shape, but it is not a #1 car.
The paint shines well, the chrome and stainless shows well. The headliner is in good condition, but a steam clean would freshen it up. The interior chrome and stainless steel pieces are in very good condition, showing little to no signs of age/wear. The carpet is not faded, and is in excellent condition. The overall condition is excellent, but there are a couple of areas to mention. The dash has a few common cracks, as evidenced by the pictures. The A/C system was redone and by the previous owner. It needs to be charged as the car has been in storage for awhile. The heat works well. The tires have plenty of tread, but have some cracking due to the length of storage. They will need to be changed out in the near future. All of the glass is in good condition. The only exception is the front windshield, which has a small crack in the lower left corner. All of the power windows and power options are in good working condition. The car has power steering, power brakes, factory A/C and factory rear defrost. The car is in great shape, but it is not a #1 car. It is a car that is in very good condition that is meant to drive. You are bidding on a 28 year old vehicle!

BMW begins restoring Elvis Presley's 507 [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Imagine the King of Rock n' Roll driving a car and you'll likely picture a pink Cadillac or a yellow De Tomaso shot full of holes. But Elvis also owned a 1957 BMW 507 roadster, and now that roadster is returning home to BMW headquarters.
The 507 was a rare bird, of which only 254 examples were ever made. They were sold mostly to celebrities and royalty, but Elvis Presley was a GI when he bought it while stationed in Germany. The example that he bought had been displayed at the Frankfurt Motor Show, used as a press car and raced by Hans Stuck (which is how Elvis came to see it in the first place), so when he took delivery of it second-hand, the dealership had a new engine installed. It was originally white, but legend has it that Elvis got tired of women writing their phone numbers on the side of it in lipstick that he had it repainted in red.
Stories differ on what exactly happened to it next, with some saying that he returned it once the lease was up and other saying that the army shipped it back to him in the States after his tour was over. But what we do know is that the car sat for many years, neglected but sheltered from the elements. Now it's heading to the the BMW Museum in Munich, where it will be on display until August 10, after which the BMW Group Classic department will undertake a comprehensive restoration of the star-studded roadster that's expected to take two years of work.
Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
BMW recalls over 76k 2012-2014 models over brake failure
Sat, 28 Sep 2013Bimmerfest is reporting that BMW has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of its intention to voluntarily recall more than 75,000 3 Series, 5 Series, X1, X3 and Z4 models due to a possible loss of power brake assist that could result in the vehicles failing to stop. The recall affects 2012-2014 models equipped with either the N20 or N26 engine produced from May 2012 to August 2013. Until recall repairs have been performed, BMW dealers will discontinue selling or delivering any affected vehicles in their inventories.
The problem has been traced to restricted oil supply from the intake camshaft to the brake vacuum pump, which may cause the brake vacuum pump to fail, resulting in a loss of power brake assist. While the hydraulic brakes will still function, the driver must much apply greater pedal pressure and the distance required to stop the vehicle will increase.
BMW has reported three minor accidents with no confirmed injuries. According to Bimmerfest, drivers who encounter a braking problem should "pull the emergency brake and apply as much brake pedal pressure as possible. If your BMW has an electronic parking brake pull up and hold the switch to engage the brake." Drivers should then park in a safe location and contact BMW Roadside Assistance.
