1987 Bmw M6 Base Coupe 2-door 3.5l on 2040-cars
Bennington, Vermont, United States
|
After almost a decade of ownership; I've decided that it is best to sell my beloved M6 in the pursuit of musicianship and farther travels in our Vanimal. There has been a lot of downtime on the car giving it TLC. But as listed below there is more to be done, hopefully performed by a true enthusiast/mechanic of these cars. It was previously owned by a doctor in Williamstown, MA. Being the only car in the now torn down Alcaro Motors Used Cars lot; it had some serious presence! Presence which gives even a timid 17 year old that "gotta have it" gleam with widened eyes. It immediately need attention with a new battery and Valve Adjustment. Many of these tasks were completed with the help of my father; who is a Veteran mechanic of close to 30 years. I'm 24 years old now and it was a worthwhile experience. This M6's condition has improved in many ways but I'll admit it will need more TLC to continue life and of course it is strictly a summer car. Just before putting this car in the garage for the winter, the major troubles included a power steering leak @ the hydroboost block, bad passenger side body to window seal, front control arms, an untraced fuel smell, and a leaky catalytic converter/muffler. Though since purchasing this car in 2007 I have only driven it 15,000 miles and have replaced: 1. the self leveling suspension with 635i Sport shocks/springs (The SLS is all available as parts) 2. The Instrument Cluster Circuit Board 3. The Starter with a Bosch remanfactured from BavAuto 4. The Alternator 5. The Stereo was professionally replaced with an Alpine USB headunit/power amp/speakers 6. The Valve Lash was adjusted around 5,000 miles ago, all measurements were done with a metric micrometer/feeler gauges 7. High/Low Pressure Power steering lines from PS Pump to reservoir/PS Pump to Hydroboost Block. 8. Valve Cover Gasket 9. Oil Pan Gasket (That was a real PITA) 10. Cap/Rotor/Plugs/Hi Perf. Wires all from BavAuto 11. All Coolant Hoses/Radiator/Thermostat/ T-stat Housing 12. Main/Transfer Fuel Pump/Fuel Filter 13. Front Brake Calipers Rebuilt 14. Stainless Brake Hoses installed 15. 4 Yokohama ES100's installed just after purchasing car, rear tires now have negative camber wear 16. Air Filter 17. Both Oil Cooler Lines/Oil Filter Distribution Gasket Replaced That's all I could think of off the top of my head, I have a partial maintenance table available on spreadsheet; it would be more complete but hard-drives are unreliable, A chronological booklet of receipts will be available once the car is sold/or a test drive is taken. This car will be available for pick-up at your expense; so bid wisely and understand that a reserve will be set. I trust this car will go to a great home! |

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing
Thu, 10 Apr 2014The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.
BMW, Toyota outline new tech joint venture, new sports car
Fri, 25 Jan 2013Back in June, Toyota and BMW announced a "memorandum of understanding" outlining plans for the two companies to join forces on future products and technology development. On Thursday, they signed a more formal and binding agreement that goes further into detail about the partnership, and it all sounds pretty exciting. The two announced they will work together in four main areas:
Joint development of a fuel cell system
"Set up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports vehicle"
Looking back at 84 years of BMW roadsters
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Today BMW is a top player in the luxury vehicle market, but it wasn't always so. With origins as an airplane engine builder early in the 20th Century, it broke into the automotive industry when it bought Automobilwerk Eisenach in 1928. That German manufacturer was licensed to build the Austin Seven under the name Dixi DA-1, which could be had in a roadster body style. In 1929, BMW dropped the Dixi name, and by 1936, it was building a car it designed in-house, the 326 sedan. That was followed by the company's first roadster of its own design, the swoopy two-door 327 of 1937.
XCAR picks up there, and gives a history of BMW's iconic roadsters starting with the 327, ending with today's Z4, and covering everything in between - including the beautiful post-war 507 of 1957 and the funky, plastic-bodied 1989 Z1.
The video, which we've included below, is a good history lesson and a great chance to see a bunch of classic BMWs, spanning 84 years, all driven back to back within the safe confines of a racetrack. When you have a spare 20 minutes, go ahead and take some time to watch it.
