1979 Bmw 633csi Base Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1979 Mileage:118000

Ivins, Utah, United States

Manufactured from 1979 through 1984, the top-of-the-line BMW 6 series received a fuel-injected engine for the first time. 
It developed 197 horsepower in a 2.8 liter straight 6 cylinder power plant with ZF steering box (with power assist) and independent four-wheel coil spring suspension.  This car has the 4-speed synchronized transmission.  Most historical service receipts and repair orders come with the car in addition to the original owner's manual and trunk-loaded tool kit.

I purchased this fine teutonic ultimate driving machine from its original owner last year.  He purchased the car new in New England in late 1978 -- in fact it was one of the first 633's imported to North America -- and he used it there and shipped it to Florida when he spent winters there.   In 35 years he put only approximately 3,400 miles a year on the odometer.  Always well-maintained and garaged, only when he was well into his seventies did his wife prevail upon him to part with his "baby".  Out of his Florida garage it came to live with me in dry Southern Utah.

Fond of these top-of-the-line Beemers, I have had considerable long-term experience with this model.  I owned a '79 in '79, bought it new and kept it for 10 years until I traded it for an '88 BMW 635.  They are fantastic grand touring cars!   Being a big fan of these underrated cars, I had this car mechanically gone through to correct some of its old age ailments and get the running quality up to par.  Not a lot to do but change the fluids, detail the cosmetics, sort the electricals, charge the A/C system and get some cranky switches working to make this beauty sing again on the highway and turn heads everywhere you drive it.  It's amazing how the beautiful design holds up and attracts attention from those too young to remember it was a major flagship German car of the highest order in it's day.

Now comes the time to let it go as my collection has grown and I must thin the herd for storage purposes.  I have nearly $11,000 into this automobile and price guides indicate that market value of one that is "average" is in the $6,000 to $9,000 range.  I will let the eBay community decide its fate because this BMW will be sold at NO RESERVE to the highest bidder.  The current marketplace will either establish its true value or someone will get a steal of a deal.  The car is not for sale elsewhere so bid with confidence to WIN this listing.  I will not accept bids from zero feedback bidders.  If you have any qualms about the car's condition, PLEASE either inspect it yourself or hire a qualified appraiser or local mechanic to look at the car in person prior to the close of bidding.  THIS CAR IS SOLD "AS IS" AND WITHOUT A WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

Watch the BMW i8 get wrung out on the Ring

Thu, 24 Apr 2014

Been wondering where the heck the reviews of the all-new, plug-in-hybrid BMW i8 have been? After all, the car isn't exactly new, having debuted in concept form way back in September of 2009. In August of last year, we even tested a prototype of the new supercar. Despite that, though, we still haven't gotten a crack at the actual vehicle that will be sold to the public.
Well, we're happy to tell you that we're currently testing the i8 and will have a proper review for you soon. If, however, you're just aching for some coverage of the low-slung plug-in, we have a short video of it in action around Germany's famed Nürburgring.
Despite it's three-cylinder, turbocharged gas engine, the i8 sounds pretty angry as it laps the Ring. That is, until it has a little bit of a breakdown. According to the guys that caught the car on video, it appeared the i8 had a minor brake issue, and was parked on the side of the track for a good 15 minutes, with the driver pumping the brakes. We should probably just take this as proof, then, that manufacturers are actually using the Ring for testing, and not just messing about.

Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.

BMW Vision Future Luxury arrives in Beijing dressed to the nines

Sat, 19 Apr 2014

Almost two weeks ago, we reported that BMW may be bringing a concept to the 2014 Beijing Motor Show that could herald a flagship 9 Series model that would be better suited to do battle with the tip-top of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class range than the current 7 Series. Well, here it is. This is the Vision Future Luxury Concept, and straight away, it looks suited to the role of ultra-luxury flagship.
In our original story, we reported that the Beijing concept would wear styling similar to the Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe that was shown in Villa d'Este nearly a year ago. Unlike that car, the Vision Future Luxury sports four doors, although its roofline plunges aggressively enough for it to be considered a four-door coupe. That doesn't mean it will compromise on rear-seat space, however. Judging by the length of the rear doors alone, this is a very large vehicle.
Its styling, though, is, as we reported, quite familiar. We can see the evolution of the Concours' concept's styling, with a narrower grille that still leads up into the hood. The thin headlights use BMW's Laserlight technology while retaining a shape similar to the Gran Lusso, and the lower intake is dominated by a carbon-fiber air deflector on both ends. BMW's Air Breather system can be found behind the front wheels, adding an accent along the lower portion of the doors. In back, organic LED lighting is used for the super-slim taillights.
