Wow Low mile all Original roundie 2002 - No modifications - just like it was in 1972 in Granada Red and black interior
This car was in the same family until the fall of 2012. It was sold by the son of the original owner to settle an estate. The original owners son was going to college in California and working part time at a Cadillac /BMW dealer. His parents had just bought a retirement home in Carmel California and his mother wanted to support him. Her request was red outside and black interior. When it arrived to the dealer the chrome grill guards / bumper overiders were installed. This BMW became her favorite car and was never to be sold even though they normally got a new car every 3 years. When acquired, the car it still had the vanity license plates that were put on the car in 1972 with her name. The car was always stored in the garage unless it was driven. I have receipts and documents going back many years to prove the low miles.
I have had several 2002 BMW's and this is the cleanest and most original one I have seen. I drove it a short while and soon realized although it was very low miles it was still 40 years old and needed some mechanical maintenance. So into the shop it went and was serviced as needed to be reliable as an extra car for me to drive. I spent the money with out any idea of ever selling, but have fallen in love with another vintage car, so some one will be getting a gem. I have receipts for all the work with over 7k spent to put it back using quality German parts to put it into like new driving condition.
The car was repainted about ten years ago and looks good. The stainless is very good, with only one piece on the trunk that is damaged. There is a new N.O.S. BMW piece that goes with the car. The windshield seal is cracked and a new BMW seal is included. The chrome is very nice, with only a light dent and pitting to the rear bumper center section. The interior is next to mint. The driver seat lower cushion had a spit seam and was recovered to match. There is a very small crack on the dash ( hard to see) on the corner were the speedo surround comes to the flat part of the dash. The carpets are original and in great shape with some wear in the drivers area. The headliner is mint. The original windows are in great shape. Steering wheel is perfect. Most that see the interior think is has been restored.
The running gear is were the big investment was made. The transmission had a noise in 3 gear, the struts were original and soft and the heater cables were stuck. It still had a set of 1980's Michelin's tires on the car. Here is a list of some of the items that were rebuilt.
- Transmission rebuilt- all new bearings & seals ( 4 speed manual)
- Clutch and throw out bearing replaced
- Clutch master and slave cylinders replaced
- Brake master replaced
- Rear brakes, machined drums, replaced wheel cylinders
- Front brakes, flex hoses, calipers, rotors
- Exhaust hangers replaced ( pipes and muffler solid)
- Complete heater box removed and rebuilt ( all conrols are very smooth)
- New heater core
- Front suspension rebuilt, all new bushings, ball joints, control arms
- All 5 wheels were sent out for powder coating in the original silver metallic color
- New set of 5 all season radial tires, new valve stems
- Alignment
- Belts, Battery, Oil change, and tune up
- All gear oils changed to Red Line synthetic
- Front struts in KYB gas
- Rear shocks in KYB gas
- Radiator serviced and flushed
This car is a blast to drive. All the lights works, gauges, heater, defroster and has a am/fm stereo. The windows roll up & down very smooth. It turns heads and everyone talks about the one they had just like it. It was a challenge to keep it stock as I have several ones that were modified. But they are only original once and so hard to find a unmolested one anymore. The rear panels were taken out above the fuel tank for an inspection and absolutely no rust was found. On the hoist the car is just as solid underneath. There is signs of rust in the rear corner of the right front fender were a patch of mud was found. And the drivers door has a few pimple, but no holes. Overall a very solid car you can drive anywhere anytime.
I have sold several classic cars on e-bay in the last few years from my collection and for friends. All the buyers have been happy.
Road test, phone calls are encouraged and very welcome. Steve Fisher 206-755-3420

I was asked about undercarriage pictures, Just added 4 of them. You can see how dry this car is underneath.
I had to put a rag over the front plate because of reflection in the camera.
Thanks for the questions. Steve

BMW adds new entry-level 320i model, priced from $33,445*
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Fans of the new BMW 3 Series here in the US have likely been waiting for one of two models to arrive: the new M3 or the diesel-powered 335d. Well... keep waiting just a little bit longer. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW is showing off the new entry-level 320i that will join the 3 Series lineup this spring, and rather than bringing added performance or efficiency, this car is boasting affordability above all. The 320i has been on sale in other markets since the current-generation 3 Series was introduced, but it goes on sale in the US with a starting price of $33,445 (*)including $895 for destination, which is $3,405 less than the current starting price of BMW's well-liked sedan.
In other countries, the 320i uses either a 1.5- or a 2.0-liter inline-four (both turbocharged), and the US version of the car will be getting the latter engine producing 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current 328i, which uses this same engine, produces 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. As expected, performance of the 320i will suffer with BMW estimating a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 7.1 seconds, but it still has the same 130 mph top speed as the 328i. Oddly enough, despite the lower output, BMW's expected fuel economy for the 320i equipped with rear-wheel-drive and the eight-speed automatic transmission actually matches that of the current 328i with 23 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, and those numbers are actually lower than the 328i with the manual gearbox.
It sounds like most of the usual 3 Series options will be available on the budget-minded 320i, including the choice of xDrive all-wheel drive, BMW Assist and numerous packages including a Sport pack and Premium pack. For a lot more information on the 320i, most of it general information on the F30 3 Series, scroll down for BMW's press release.
Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards honors GM Super Cruise, BMW i3
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Our friends at Popular Mechanics have announced the winners of their 2013 Breakthrough Awards, which honor innovations and new technologies in a variety of fields, ranging from medicine to electronics to space travel. Among the winners were a pair of automakers.
The BMW i3 was named one of PM's product breakthroughs, and while the diminutive city car has a range comparable to other electrics, Popular Mechanics was impressed the i3's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, which allows the i3 to tip the scales at just 2,800 pounds. But the i3's space-age materials wouldn't have been such a smash if it were priced beyond what the general public could afford. BMW's ability to offer a vehicle with such an advanced construction for around $42,000 (nearly half the price of the Cadillac ELR and only about $7,000 more than a Chevrolet Volt or Ford Focus Electric) is wildly impressive and speaks volumes about the future of ultra-light composites in the auto industry.
The other big winner comes from General Motors, which was named an Innovator this year for its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology that's currently being tested on a Cadillac SRX. The technology, which we've reported on before, combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering into a super system that will allow hands-free driving under certain conditions.
Husqvarna sold to KTM CEO Stefan Pierer
Fri, 01 Feb 2013A couple of days ago the UK's Motorcycle News reported that BMW was in the final stages of selling Husqvarna to KTM, with a deal potentially confirmed as soon as this week. Following that came reports that Husqvarna Motorcycles wasn't sold to KTM but to a Pierer Industries, the company owned by KTM CEO Stefan Pierer. Turns out the advance report was true, as was the follow-up: BMW has just announced a "strategic realignment" of its Motorrad division, explaining that it sold Husqvarna to Pierer Industries in order to focus on the urban and e-mobility segments. Husqvarna's off-road machines, obviously, don't fit into those categories.
BMW bought the Italian-based bike maker with centuries-old Swedish roots in 2007 - the rest of the Husqvarna company remains based in Sweden - and has invested huge sums to integrate the smaller company into the larger parent. Six years later, just when dividends should begin to truly pay off, the brand is sold.
Before BMW made its announcement, one of the theories that forum members put forward for Pierer's interest in purchasing Husqvarna was that he wants his own business to run his own way. The parent company of KTM, Cross Industries, is 47.27-percent owned by India's Bajaj Automotive, with Pierer the majority shareholder, and is on a quest for global growth, taking the fight to BMW in Europe and launching new bikes and technology into the Indian market. Compared to BMW's and KTM's 2012 sales of around 100,000 bikes each in 2012, Husqvarna sold 10,751 bikes, which was a 15.7-percent increase over the previous year. Pierer would have a lot more freedom in the running of a company of that size.
