You are bidding on a driver quality restored black on black 1972 BMW 2002.  I purchased this car in May of 2012 in Hillsboro OR and have spent the last two years having it professionally restored. 

I am the third owner of this car.  The original owner handed it down to his nephew and I purchased it from that nephew.  The car had been stored in the family barn since the late 90’s before I purchased it.  So I guess technically it’s a barn find.  Since the car had been in storage for the past 12+ years the body was in really great shape with no rust in any of the usual 2002 problem areas, shock towers, floor pans, spare tire well, running boards etc.  All are really solid.  I’ve included some before and after pictures of some of the common problem areas before they were cleaned and re coated with fresh undercoating to keep them protected.

The cars original color was malanga but it was repainted to (schwartz) black back sometime in the 80’s.  During the 2 year restoration I had the car taken down to bare metal and re painted this same black.  The interior of the car has been reupholstered in black vinyl including front/rear seats and door panels front/rear.  The door panels were replaced with Aardvark racing wooden panels before they were reupholstered.  As far as I can tell the carpet is original.  If so it’s in incredible shape.

Beyond the restoration the following upgrades have been performed:  BMW OEM BBS wheels, BMW OEM Sport Recaro seats, New Weber 32/26 carburetor, flush European turn signals and Hella driving lights.

Here is a high level overview of the work performed during the restoration, detailed work below.

Bare metal repaint in Fall 2013
Complete engine rebuild Spring 2013
Complete interior reupholster Fall 2013
Brake system rebuild Spring 2013
Suspension rebuild Spring 2013
Blower rebuild Spring 2014

All receipts for this work will go with the car.

The car runs well and the engine pulls strong.  It handles well and stops just as well.  After all the mechanical work I would expect nothing less.  Paint is a 9/10, interior 9/10, mechanical 9/10, chrome 8/10 (some of the chrome, drip rail, window trim has a few scratches), engine bay 7/10 (mechanically sound just could use detailing).

The engine has approximately 1000 miles on the rebuild.  The engine rebuild included the following:

New pistons
New head
New valves
New springs
New spark plugs
New spark plug wires
New belts
New Engine mounts
New weber 32/26 carburetor
New heat shield
All gaskets replaced

While the engine was out the following was done:

New transmission mounts
Service the transmission
Service the rear diff
Rebuilt the alternator
New water pump
New 320i radiator and hoses
New thermostat

The brakes were professionally rebuilt including:

New brake hoses at all four corners
Replaced brake master cylinder
Replaced rear wheel cylinders
New brake light switch

The front suspension was professionally rebuilt including:

New front control arms.
New front subframe bushings
New front strut mounts
New tie rods
New strut inserts
New Bilstein shocks
The original Bilsteins in the rear were in good shape and thus not replaced

The previous owner had performed the following work before I purchased the car:

New steering guibo
New clutch
New header back exhaust
New battery
New header back exhaust

The body includes the following:

New Ireland Engineering front spoiler
European flush mount front turn signals
New Hella 5 inch driving lights
New front windshield and seal
New rear windshield seal using original windshield
New trunk seal
New trunk lock
New beltline chrome trim
New emblems front and rear
New tires

In addition to everything listed above the following has been replaced.

New hazard switch
New blinker relay
New dash cover

Clean Title in hand.

Enjoy this car as a daily driver or keep it for the weekends and car shows.

Buyer to pay for shipping from Portland OR or local pickup.  I do require a 500$ deposit within 72 hours of close of auction.

BMW details Concept X5 eDrive ahead of New York debut

Sun, 13 Apr 2014

Already weighing more than most other types of vehicles and with the space to accommodate the extra equipment, crossovers and SUVs arguably make for one of the more ideal platforms to transform into a hybrid. And there have been a handful of them - like the Audi Q5, Infiniti QX60/Nissan Pathfinder, Porsche Cayenne/Volkswagen Touareg, Lexus RX450h/Toyota Highlander and Cadillac Escalade/Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon - but by and large the majority of hybrids on the market are sedans and hatchbacks. BMW, however, looks poised to join the minority with the X5.
The Bavarian automaker showcased the X5 eDrive concept at Frankfurt last year, and as promised, has now revealed the followup it will present at the New York Auto Show in just a few days. The new Concept X5 eDrive, as BMW has now revealed, pairs a 2.0-liter turbo four good for 245 horsepower to a 95-hp electric motor to deliver a combined 340 horsepower. Its lithium-ion battery can power it for up to 20 miles and at speeds up to 75 miles per hour before the gasoline engine needs to kick in. All that without sacrificing the vehicle's utility, maintaining an almost perfectly flat loading floor with 40:20:40 split-folding rear seats, and without sacrificing much on performance, either: with a 0-62 time of seven seconds flat, the X5 eDrive concept is quicker off the line than the production X5 with the 2.5-liter turbodiesel and just a tenth off of the 3.0-liter turbodiesel.
With the full technical details now released (you can delve into it all in the press release below), the only question remains when BMW will actually put the X5 eDrive into production. Given its appearance in New York, though, we gather that whenever it does reach showrooms, it'll reach American ones as well.

GRAND-AM, IMSA announce deal to bring DTM racing to US

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

It won't be until 2015 at the earliest, but the International Motor Sports Association (IMSA), Grand-Am and the Internationale Tourenwagen-Rennen have agreed to a licensing and cooperation deal that could bring a version of Germany's DTM series to the US.
When the American Le Mans Series and Grand-Am are officially combined next year, the resulting body will be called United SportsCar Racing (USCR). IMSA will be the sanctioning body for that series, and DTM races could be run as support events. It was also suggested by an ALMS chief that DTM races could be standalone or join NASCAR and IndyCar weekends.
With the so-called DTM America finally agreed to, there is now a way for manufacturers to run the same DTM-type cars in Europe, the US and Japan - last year Japan's Super GT series agreed to adopt "the basic technical regulations" of DTM for the GT500 class, the top class in the series. That already puts six manufacturers in play: Mercedes-Benz, Audi and BMW that run in Germany's DTM and Honda, Nissan and Lexus that run in Super GT. The DTM oversight body has invited American brands to Germany for the opening round of the 2013 season, and will begin actively courting their participation in the US series. Check out the press release from Audi with comments on the deal below.

BMW i3 starts near $35,000; NA first deliveries January 2014

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

While in Germany at the first early pre-production drives of the hotly anticipated BMW i3, BMW people finally hinted at a price ballpark. Numbers being tossed around by pundits have actually been pretty close to what BMW is discussing internally - between $35,000 and just over $40,000. We have been assured now that the base price, should one choose to buy and not lease in the Euro zone, is just over 35,000 euro, with some big taxes included in that price. In the US, the starting price for the fully EV plug-in version should be $34,500 or right thereabouts. In addition to new pricing, we've also gotten our best-yet look at the i3, with the freshly uncovered spy shots you see here.
European deliveries begin in November of this year for the fully electric version of the rear-wheel-drive i3 with 168-horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. The e-motor mounted over the rear axle is supplied with energy by the 22-kWh lithium-ion battery pallet under the passenger compartment. Recharging happens in any of three ways: public or personal garage plug-in charge station (garage version not included in the price), the onboard system's Pro Eco mode that adds resistance to the drivetrain in a type of rolling brake energy recuperation, or through the normal brake energy and off-throttle coasting regeneration more common to EVs. Range on a full charge of this drivetrain is said to be upwards of 100 miles under hyper-miling conditions.
Perhaps the best bit of news is that the alternative, range-extending, two-cylinder 600cc engine supplied by BMW Motorrad for the hybrid version of the i3 - mounted in the rear together with the e-motor - will add only 2,000 euros in Europe and about $2,000 in the US. This is a range-doubling solution that could have brought a much higher price gouge, so thank you, BMW. The hybrid e-drive i3 version arrives a couple months after the full-EV launch version. Remember that, unlike the very similar system for the Chevrolet Volt, the system in the i3 supplies no mechanical torque to the driven axle and is only used as a generator (a system BMW first used last year in the 1 Series-based Active ). The US is seen as the clear number one market for the i3.
