RARE 1972 BMW 2002 Automatic... they didn't make a lot of roundie automatics and even less with a sunroof. This particular 02 does have salvage title... although this shouldn't be too much of a concern. At sometime in the past it was hit in the rear... before my purchase. Often insurance companies will salvage a vehicle not really knowing the true collector value of the vehicle. I am assuming this was the case with this 02 or it was so long ago that the collector value wasn't there yet?? Anyway, as I said, it was hit in the rear and repaired before I purchased it. The repair was so so and I had it repaired better when I had the car stripped and prepped for paint. I do have pictures of before & during the restoration process. There was some rust issues to contend with (typically) and they were taken care of (some new metal welded in where necessary). All the wheel towers are good with new under coating, the undercarriage is in good condition but no undercoating was used there. An undercarriage detail might be in order to match the beauty of the rest of the car. I think the pictures will speak for them selves but if not... here are the details of this restoration: New paint w/ clear coat, all newly polished aluminum moldings, re-chromed back bumper w/ new rubber, new sunroof seal, re-chromed 2002 emblem, new BMW roundels (front & back), new license plate rear lights, new trunk seal, new front windshield, new front windshield seal, new windshield aluminum chrome molding (front & back), re-chromed taillight bezels, newly restore front grills, new front yellow side markers, new elephant skin back trunk boards, new gutter rail aluminum moldings. Interior; new door panels, newly custom stitched dash, new headliner, new sunroof crank and backing, new sun visor clips, newly cover backseat window base, new automatic tranny console w/ new brushes (light works), new coco mats. Engine; new brake master (brakes are good), new battery, electronic ignition, new spark plugs, new oil service, the engine runs great!! I notice a big difference between the manual and the automatic. The pro to the automatic is it cruises at 70-75 nicely where the 4 speed manual is winding out (4000 rpms) at 65. The automatic is a much nicer road trip car. The con is it's pretty slow off the line. The tranny is in excellent condition with all 3 speeds working great. The hubcaps have been re-polished and look better than new w/ new roundel cap stickers. Brand new 185 70 13 tires, excellent spare with jack and crank. I'm sure there's more but hard to remember every little thing. This has been a 6 month restoration and in the end I am VERY happy how this 02 came out. Keep in mind, if this was not salvage title, my reserve would be a lot higher than it currently is. Note: I do have this 02 advertised elsewhere so I do reserve the right to end the auction early... Please contact me to ask any questions. I am displaying a lot of photos but I have more that can be sent per your request. A $1,000 deposit will be required within 24 hours of winning bid. Full payment due per arrangement will be required 48 hours after winning bid. Anyone without a good ebay rating, please contact me before bidding. If possible, come see and drive this 02 in person. I am located in Laguna Beach, CA and welcome your visit within the 7 day auction period. Thank you for bidding and good luck... |

BMW confirms X4 for next year, i3 preorders starting to add up
Wed, 20 Mar 2013BMW has confirmed the long-anticipated X4 will bow next year. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the automaker's board of management, made mention of the upcoming CUV during remarks at the company's annual accounts press conference. Reithofer said that BMW has sold more than 2.7 million X models since it began producing the machines, and that the company plans to expand those offerings with the new X4 next year. He declined to offer up any more details, though from what we've heard so far, the model will be more of a crossover than either the X3 or the X5.
Reithofer also made it clear that BMW is getting serious about electric vehicles, saying the i3 (pictured above, in prototype form) is "definitely coming to market" and that the runabout will be ready by late 2013. BMW reports it has had "Several hundred advance orders" for the EV. As you may recall, the i3 uses a special carbon fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell to save weight and boasts a standard range of 93 miles. You can read the full transcripts from the press conference below for more information.
BMW readying Spartanburg expansion for X7 production
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Prior to the debut of the original X5 in 1999, the idea of a BMW crossover might have seemed like heresy. But here we are, fifteen years removed from the Frank Stephenson-penned design, and the Bavarian automaker has expanded its crossover lineup to include the X1, X3, X4 and X6, and it's showing no sign of slowing down.
We recently reported that BMW is planning on slotting an X2 in at the bottom of the range between the X1 and X3, but now it's being widely reported that it's got an even larger one to put in at the top of its utility line. That, of course, would be the X7, a long-rumored three-row model that would give BMW a large family hauler to challenge the Mercedes-Benz GL.
According to The Wall Street Journal, BMW is expanding its assembly plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, to accommodate production of the X7 alongside the X3, X4 and X5 that it already builds there for local consumption.
2014 BMW i3
Thu, 24 Oct 2013We can only imagine the challenges BMW is going to have explaining the i3 electric vehicle to the world. It's got a new powertain (all-electric, with optional range extender), a new production method (carbon fiber reinforced plastic!), a new brand (the 'i' line) and a new vehicle type (it's a city car). Despite everything that's different, BMW is still trying to talk about the i3 as if it fits in with the rest of the company's vehicles. But it doesn't. Not really. And that's going to make the marketing and salespeoples' jobs quite difficult.
Which is a shame, really, since the i3 is amazing. If it didn't carry the BMW 'heritage' baggage, people would be falling over each other to sing its praises. This is one of the smoothest, roomiest and slickest electric vehicles we've ever driven, with a lot of hidden surprises. It is a wonderful city car, and well designed for the car-sharing, emissions-aware drivers of the near future. But since the i3 carries the BMW name, everyone we ran into while cruising the narrow streets of and flat countryside around Amsterdam in a Euro-spec i3 recently wanted to know one thing: is it "a BMW" as well as being an electric car? During one photo shoot, a police car pulled up next to us, totally stopping traffic. While my co-driver and I instantly thought we were going to be asked to move, the officer simply wanted to know what the scoop was about all the i3s he had seen that day. Oh, and does it drive like a BMW?
We'll answer that question in detail below. The most important thing to remember is that the BMW i3 comes from the new "i" sub-brand within BMW. Like Mini, the i line really is a different beast, despite the roundel's presence. So, what makes a BMW a BMW? The answer is as easy as ABC. Or, in this case, as simple as Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works.
