Wow! What a difference from the 635CSi that obviously needed quite a bit of work. This begs the question about your new M6.

Curious about miles, the car's history if known, and general condition. I think the seller that cancelled on you did you a huge favor.

My photos from the 2017 Pacific Sharkfest in Murphys, CA

Way to go Jose! Are you going celebrate this weekend? Will we see you at the Pacific Sharkfest in Murphys?
Steve

Looking forward to a good event this year.

Count me in too. Will be there Friday for the Big Trees Tour.

Leaving the M6 at home, since my 635 has a smoother ride for us. Should be a great time!

Price sounds a bit steep for this car since it needs some attention in quite a few areas to get it back to 100% working.

I would hold out for a '85 to '89 635CSi with no major issues. Might need to look out of state for it, but I think you will find that worthwhile.

Happy hunting,

Steve

I noticed that too, thought it must be your car. Way to go!

Attached is a photo of the Jack Storage in my M6.

I have the one that I took off my '88 M6. Since CA requires a front plate, my reasoning was that I did not want any encounters with the police unless is was my idea. I can either send it to you, or hand it over at the PSF in September. A photo of it is on the 2009 BMW Calendar on the December page. ...

Completely agree with the "M" badge order only! Let's get the word out.

By the VIN, it is a 5-speed 635CSi. People that "M" badge non-M cars, or do a de-badge tells me something.

On the positive side, I have noticed the prices of M6s steadily climb upward lately.

Interesting, this same car was listed for sale in CA in Nov 2001 with 23,000 miles. Asking price then was $45,000.

Keep me active. I've been very busy lately, doing a major remodel to my house (bathroom, laundry and kitchen), a complete removal and reconstruction. Just turned 70, and am honored that in June Governor Brown appointed me to serve as the Land Surveyor member of the licensing board for Engineers, Lan...

Glad to see it removed. Off the topic for the resources we seek from BigCoupe. Thank you.

For some reason BMW used original fuel lines having a braided fabric reinforcing. I have had them all fail by seeping gas on both of my 6-series cars, a 5-series E28, and BMW motorcycles. If you can see any braided lines, they all must be replaced. You will also need about 8 new worm-drive clamps. I...

Way to go Bob & Pat. Looking forward to seeing it. I think my copy is unread at home under a stack of reading that I need to catch up on. That event is something that I regret not doing this year, especially since I live there. I've been putting out feelers for a Napa run sometime soon. Sent an ...

I also have an '88 Canadian M6, and have it certified for California's smog requirements. As far as emissions and drivetrain, they should be identical to the US spec cars.

You give no clue as where you are located, if in California, I can share some information.

I see the 6-series as really a 5-series with a much better body. The 5-series cars get driven for lots of miles, and don't seem to have a reputation for being high-maintenance. Most 6-series cars (I think this is representative of the collector group), don't get much daily use, so the maintenance it...

Congratulations Jose on your new acquisition. Definitely a quantum leap from the Saturn. Too bad you could not make the Pacific Sharkfest in Paso Robles. We are trying to get a Napa area 6-series run together for this fall. See you then. I am now driving my late wife's car daily. It is a 2003 530i 5...

I replaced the rubber BMW filler piece on the front bumper of my M6 with the front license plate. I know our cars look much better without a front plate, and that the euro cars don't have enough height for a US plate at the rear. I did this simply to eliminate a reason to be stopped (and that it's t...

Took a dry run last weekend with Paul. It will be good. This year will include: May 1st, Friday afternoon / evening, drive to Cambria on the Pacific Coast for dinner. May 2nd, Saturday morning tour of Warbirds Aviation & Car Museum. (We wil be there ahead of the Lancia Club, so we get the good p...

I was also born on the 13th (not a Friday). Definitely do not have Triskadekaphobia.

Don't worry about that. Reminds me of my youth when guys said they looked at the Playboy Magazine for the well-written articles.

I will be the first to admit that we buy these calendars for the pictures. Thanks for the heads-up. Not a big deal that the March data is from some other year.

Received mine today, already hanging in my office. Good Job!
