          2 Owner California “Blue plate” car

 

I am listing this car for my brother and following is his write up.

 

  • Summary

 

I’ve decided to sell my 2002. I have owned this car for the past 18 years and it has been a great vehicle and a joy to own. I bought the car from the original owner here in southern California, where I live, so this is a two owner California car.

 

It has been well cared for, well serviced (as you can see below) and very reliable. I have made numerous repairs and tasteful upgrades and it has been slowly been restored while in my stewardship. It has been my weekend driver and occasionally driven to and from work, approximately 30 miles, for the past eighteen years, but it’s time for a new owner to enjoy this appreciating classic.

 

The rebuilt motor runs great and the mild 288 cam, Weber 38 DGES carburetor, 5-speed transmission and bigger brakes transforms the car from its original 1971 spec sheet. It looks good and drives and handles exceptionally well.

 

Keep in mind that this is a 43 year old vehicle and it is not being sold as a show car, nor is it priced as one. The Sahara Beige paint is the original color and it is in excellent condition and being a California car has no rust due to recent bodywork upgrades in February of this year.

 

To match the 320is Recaro seats, the rear seat, door panels, carpeting, and headliner have all been upgraded for consistency and match perfectly. They are all in very good condition. The dashboard does have some cracks and the door closure could use minor adjustments.  Lights, turn signals, etc. all work as they should.

 

To duplicate a project 2002 to this quality would be very costly in both time and money. So if you’re looking for a very nice 2002 that you can get in and confidently drive and enjoy today, this could be your car.

 

It attracts attention everywhere it goes and it seems that everyone has a question or a story to share about these great little cars. Someone is going to get and enjoy a great little 2002 Roundie!

 

All service records and receipts, from both owners, are available for review.

 

Car is located in Huntington Beach and local inspection can be arranged through Ebay email.

 

  • Shipping is at the expense of the purchaser.

 

  • Please do not ask the reserve or what I want for it, as this is an auction.

 

  • This car is also available to local buyers and may be sold at any time. I reserve the right to end the auction upon its sale.

BMW reveals full details on M235i Racing

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

We were suitably excited when BMW first announced the imminent arrival of the M235i Racing. After all, what's not to like about a factory-prepared racecar with 333 horsepower you can pick up for just eighty grand? Now BMW has released the full details on the latest addition to its racing portfolio, where it joins the M3 DTM, M3 GT4, Z4 GTE/GT3 and 320 TC in a growing family of competition machinery prepared by BMW Motorsport.
Based on the new 2 Series coupe, the M235i Racing is the first M Performance model for the track, and boasts the line's most powerful engine: the 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight six has been optimized to 333 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. A mechanical limited-slip differential helps transfer the power to the track surface, along with race-tuned ABS, DSC and traction control.
Four-pot calipers up front and two-pot calipers in the rear shave off speed for the corner and are packed inside the 18-inch alloys, with KW dampers and H&R suspension components. Inside there's a six-point racing harness and Recaro bucket surrounded by an FIA-certified roll cage, and customers can even have an extra seat installed to take passengers for ride-alongs. All of which can be yours for €59,500.00 - equivalent to $82k at today's rates, before taxes.

BMW M235i Racing restores our faith in 'M'

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Based on the upcoming BMW 2 Series and aimed at amateur and semi-professional racers, the 2014 BMW M235i Racing is a stripped-down, race-spec coupe ready to take on the Nürburgring in the VLN Endurance Championship race series against cars from Audi, Porsche and Toyota.
Obvious in the image above (click to enlarge), BMW has given the M235i Racing the wide-body treatment with a track that has been stretched by 3.5 inches. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder receives a power boost from a stock 322 horsepower up slightly to 333 hp, while other modifications include a full FIA roll cage, a racing fuel tank and a limited slip rear differential.
The M235i Racing replaces the M3 GT4 as BMW's factory racer, and it will be priced at 59,500 euros (close to $80,000), which is about as affordable as a factory-prepped racecar can get. The full press release is posted below, but we can't wait to see this car in action next year.

She's just a girl... who's an E28 fanatic

Tue, 02 Apr 2013

Ashley Rodriguez has a thing for the BMW E28. The amateur train photographer has owned over 15 of the cars in her brief lifetime, and says she's attracted to the old 5 Series because of how rare they are. All told, she's owned every variation of the E28 with the exception of the 2.4td, and the crew from Petrolicious recently stopped by to train their lenses on her most recent acquisition: a lovely M535i. The site's latest video, Rare Things, takes a closer look at just what draws Rodriguez to the E28 and how her passion for the cars has evolved over the years.
As usual, Petrolicious serves up plenty of gorgeous footage of the vintage German sedan, and anyone who's ever harbored an obsession over any one particular model can certainly hear a few chords ring true in Rodriguez's words. Check out the clip below to see what we mean.
