1988 Bmw M6 on 2040-cars
Montague, New Jersey, United States
I purchased my first BMW E24 635csi back in 1993 and took care of it for more than 21 years. At the 19 year mark
my original 635csi was joined by this stunning M6 which I picked up almost 3 years ago. I searched for almost 6
months to find this pampered M6 which was originally located in Nashville, Tennessee. So yes this M6 has never
been driven in Northeast salt and has been garaged ever since. Think of this car as being from the South and only
recently transplanted to the Northeast.
As I got to know the E24 when I received this M6 i quickly applied many of my original upgrades on my original 6 to
this M6. Modern amenities such as Xenon/HID headlights, an Alpine stereo with Bluetooth / Pandora / iphone support
with meaningfully improved German Helix speakers. Note that the integrated Pandora and iPod support only works with
IOS7 and earlier so if you are on IOS8 it won't work unless you hotspot to an ipod touch / earlier iPhone 4/5 with
pre IOS7, which is what I ended up doing once the iphone 6/6+ came out with IOS8. I also upgraded to remote power
locks since it's quite embarrassing to have to manually use the key to open your car door in the year 2015 plus the
heated key door locks are prone to wearing out and breaking and are expensive to repair.
Even though I wanted to see the road clearer with HID (Xenon) headlights leveraging the focused beam lenses that
came standard with 88 & 89 6 series, I didn't appreciate getting blinded by bright headlights following me. Hence
the need to install an LCD rearview dimming mirror. Since I also backed up into my garage I wanted to maximize my
back-up visibility and so I had the best back-up camera system installed which beeps and shows exactly whats behind
/ below / beside the rear of the car. This is exactly the kind that you'd find in a car more than 25 years newer.
Since an '88 M6 does not have room in the dashboard for a big integrated display I went with integrating it into
the rear view mirror display which by the way also has integrated bluetooth handsfree audio support for your
smartphone.
Since it's a known fact that if a car as stunning as this is driving 10 miles above the speed limit vs. non-head
turners, this car for sure will get pulled over by the police. Given this I had the Laser Interceptor
professionally installed which is essentially a Laser Radar jammer. Normally when the police/radar/speed camera
hits this car -

2014 BMW 6 Series gets Frozen Brilliant White convertible, manual option for M6
Mon, 25 Mar 2013BMW has announced updates to the 6 Series lineup today, including a special "Frozen" edition of the convertible, and a 640i Gran Coupe in all-wheel-drive trim.
The 2014 BMW 6 Series Convertible Frozen Brilliant White Edition (catchy name, right?) will be available from select BMW dealers this May, and will offer buyers the signature paint, Frozen Black mirror caps, a black grille and uniquely designed, 20-inch M Performance wheels. Just 100 examples of the FBWE 6er will be produced, with both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars in the mix, for starting prices of $106,995 and $110,095, respectively (both prices include $895 in destination and handling charges).
BMW has also informed us that all of its 6 Series Gran Coupe models will now be available with the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. No pricing has been given for the xDrive versions of the car as of yet.
2014 BMW 4 Series Convertible [w/video]
Thu, 20 Feb 2014Here it is, the fifth generation of BMW's 3 Series Convertible - only this one begins with a "4," having been rechristened as a droptop version of the new 4 Series Coupe. With thirty years of work on this same recipe and having gotten it so right for much of that time, the Munich compact premium convertible has been a WYSIWYG affair for decades: once you saw its sedan paradigm, you knew what it was going to look like in roofless two-door form, and what you saw is exactly what you got.
It is ridiculous to think that BMW would choose this new model and its new nomenclature to muck things up. The new car has, though, gotten larger and roomier, and even though it's now part of the racier coupe division within the company's compact line, it has gotten more, shall we say, mature. Driving even further away from the days when handsomely tipped bartenders could work their way into one, The Ultimate Tanning Machine had shed even more elan, going instead for elegance and an attitude befitting its $49,675 starting price (including $925 for destination).
It strikes a few odd notes, but what it does best, it still does better than anything else out there in its price range.
Automotive April Fools' joke roundup [w/videos]
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Happy April, everyone. And we all know what this first day of the month means: April Fools' Day. Today is a national holiday for pranksters with the Internet acting as a serious enabler, and it's always fun to see what kind of vivid imaginations exist out there in the automotive world. The abundance of fake news gets a little old as the day rolls on, but we did manage to get in a few chuckles thanks to a handful of major automakers and automotive news outlets that got into the pranking spirit this year
Some of our favorites this year includes Subaru showing what happens when you combine a bunch of rumors, a Corvette some may have already thought was a joke or Honda providing some in-car innovation circa the late 1980s. Honestly, we're still waiting for official confirmation from Mitsubishi that the recently introduced 2014 Mirage is an elaborate April Fools' joke using a failed design intended for the 1995 Geo Metro. We dug up as much "official" OEM foolishness we could find, as well as some of our other favorites, and posted them all below.
