1985 Bmw 635csi Coupe 2-door 3.5l Black - Automatic - Low Miles on 2040-cars
Jacksonville, Florida, United States
|
This is a 3 three day auction with a reserve. Up for auction is my 1985 BMW 635CSi Automatic. In 1985 there were 2,268 automatics sold in the USA. The vehicle AUTO CHECK gave it a score of 51 out of a high score of 62. No accidents and paint is original>>>>>>>>> A little history of the 1985 BMW CSi >>> 1985-87: 635CSi, L6
Engine displacement was finally increased to rest-of-the-world spec at 3430cc (3.5L), and the U.S. E24 finally became the 635CSi. Power was now up to 182 bhp at 5400 rpm and 214 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the latter eclipsing the European-spec 633CSi. However, the U.S. engine was still hampered by a low, 8.0:1 compression ratio and exhaust restrictions, meaning it was still grossly underpowered by European standards, where the 10:1 compression, non-catalyst 635CSi cranked out 218 bhp at 5200 rpm and 228 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm. The low compression ratio was mandated by low-octane gasoline and the inability of early Motronics to deal with the combination of high compression and exhaust restriction in the absence of knock sensors. Later, in the 1990s, the 1985-on U.S.-spec 635CSi would respond dramatically to a simple ECU chip upgrade from either of the aforementioned suppliers. Today, a Conforti chip remains the single best engine power upgrade for the U.S.-spec 635CSi.
The car has been maintenance by BMW Stores and is up to date. With the low miles, the car must have sat around in a garage for long periods. The previous owner, went well beyond standard maintenance and got a little carried away with preventive maintenance. The car drives great!!!!! This is truly a highway cruiser and power really kicks in at 50 + mph. The spare tire has been used, antenna is power and it works, almost all the tools are there and the owners manuals are included. No paint fade, the paint is original, must have been garage kept and waxed by a professional for sure. Even the paint in the door jams, under the hood and trunk is original. Again this a 3 day auction, $500 due at close of auction and remainder due three >>3>> after close of auction. If the car is to be exported, Jacksonville, FL is a major port with connections thru out the World. GOOD LUCK

Toyota GT86 engineers explored shooting brake and sedan variants, are they still in the cards?
Wed, 13 Mar 2013According to the Toyota UK blog, engineers for the automaker were so excited developing the GT86 coupe that they investigated producing a whole family of models based on the rear-wheel drive sports car. And at least one engineer - product chief Tetsuya Tada - still hopes it can happen, even if not everyone at Toyota is onboard. Tada: "Actually we tried to do this secretly but the executives found us out. They said: 'What are you doing? Will you please focus on the coupe.'"
Those mooted variants included both a four-door sedan and a shooting brake. Why? Aside from the pure excellence of a lightweight, brilliantly handling hatchback, Toyota was keenly aware of the fact that it may need to spread the cost of development out across several models. Tada says that's part of the reason why it was so easy to create the convertible. The company knew from the outset that a softtop version was in the cards, and built the machine's structure to accommodate having the roof sliced off.
Tada also made mention of the already-announced collaboration between Toyota and BMW. The engineer said that the GT86 was particularly helpful because it demonstrated just how successful a product conceived and designed by two different companies can be. While he didn't say exactly what Toyota and BMW are up to, it's clear the two are looking into a number of possibilities. It's an interesting read with a lot of
2015 BMW X4
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW has been in the line-blurring business of late, with the original X5 "Sports Activity Vehicle" muddling the line between SUVs and sport sedans in 1999, the 5 Series Gran Turismo challenging what our definition of "Gran Turismo" means in 2009, and pretty, low-roofed four-doors like the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the fresh new 4 Series Gran Coupe broadening the meaning of the word "coupe."
In the midst of all of this, BMW blurred the lines around both the SUV and coupe genres with its big, heavy, and in many ways ridiculous X5-based "Sports Activity Coupe" (cue collective eye-roll), dubbed X6. Auto wags scoffed at its lack of utility, compromised outward visibility and added cost, but a more emotional public was apparently smitten enough by its aggressive looks to avail itself of some 250,000 of them worldwide in six model years on sale.
Enter the all-new 2015 X4 crossover - err, "Sports Activity Coupe" - which BMW hopes will perform as well in the compact category as the X6 has on the next rung up the ladder. Like the X6, the X4 is a tough sell on paper: it's more expensive and less practical than the X3 on which it's based; it's heavier, despite the loss of interior space; and it doesn't even hold as much stuff in the back as the 3 Series wagon. As with the X6, the X4 is essentially a high-riding style statement that, like proper coupes (the two-door kind), says to the world, "You fools can take your need for practicality and shove it. I just want to look good."
2014 BMW 2 Series earns IIHS Top Safety Pick+ [w/video]
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just certified its latest Top Safety Pick+, honoring the all-new BMW 2 Series with the coveted rating.
IIHS cited the 2 Series' crash test ratings, which were rated as "Good" in the small overlap, moderate overlap, side and rollover. In the tricky small overlap test, the crash test dummy was at a "low risk of any significant injury."
The Institute was also complimentary of the 2 Series' head restraint system and its collision prevention system, including forward collision warning and City Braking.
