1974 BMW 2002

118,000 miles

NO RESERVE

This car was recently restored by the owner who was obviously passionate about BMWs. I have been commissioned to evaluate and sell this car by his widow. I was trained by BMW of North America, am a BMW certified master mechanic who has worked professionally on BMWs for over 25 years. My first of many BMWs was a 1974 2002.

After thoroughly looking at the receipts and the car itself, I have found the following positive points:

  1. The frame up paint job is beautiful.

     

  2. The repairs to the floorboards and rear shock well were done professionally; no rust left behind; everything welded.

     

  3. The only visible rust is the typical rust along the bottom edge of the passenger door only (replacement door included; see #4 below).

     

  4. This car comes with extra parts:  2 front doors that seem to be rust-free, window regulators, front vent windows and frames, driver side mirror, one door window, oil filter, and service manuals.

     

  5. Except for the driver seat seams that are worn, upholstery is in great shape (see photos).

     

  6. Listed below are all the new or fairly new parts and modifications that were installed:

  • Weber DGAV 32/36 carburetor

  • Short shift kit

  • Removable moon roof

  • Rear shocks

  • ANSA muffler and straight pipe to replace resonator

  • Lowered suspension

  • H & R rear springs - progressive rate 29-201R

  • New front springs

  • Bosche high output coil

  • Pertronix electronic ignition

  • Bottle cap 14" wheels from later model 3-series

  • Pirelli HP 185/60 tires

  • Zender front air dam

  • Interstate battery and cables

  • Headliner

  • Door gaskets

  • Most window gaskets

  • Vacuum gauge - mounted to firewall

  • Everything on interior that is needed for air conditioning (no compressor, condenser or hoses)

  • Emergency brake cables

  • Carpet

  • Most metal brake lines and some rubber lines

  • Front brakes

  • Rear brakes

  • Dashboard

     

This car handles really well, tracks well, feels very tight, starts and runs great. (no smoke)

Even though it shifts perfectly, the transmission output and layshaft bearings are noisy. I believe the owner planned on replacing this 4-speed with a 5-speed transmission.

The interior light switches are missing.

There may be other improvements that I have not spotted.

If I didn't have so many BMWs myself, this car would not be listed on Ebay :) It would be in my garage!

 

Payment and delivery:

Non-refundable deposit of $500 required to be paid within 48 hours of end of auction through Paypal. Deposit will be credited toward price of car. Payment (by certified check or cash only) must be made and car picked up within 10 days after auction closes.

NO RESERVE

GOOD LUCK!

BMW takes 30th Anniversary Edition M5 out to drift

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

If you only look at the videos from BMW, it appears that the best way to celebrate the 30th birthday of the M5 is some smoky drifting, and it sure looks like a great way to mark the occasion to us. Now that the Bavarian brand's new 30th anniversary special edition is all set to hit the road, the most powerful M5 ever is getting it own chance to roast its tires on video, as well.
The M5 30th Anniversary Edition shouldn't have any problem hanging its rear end out, really. Under the hood, its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 is turned up to 600 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque and can allegedly sprint to 60 miles per hour in a scant 3.7 seconds. That's pretty impressive for any sports car but especially for a sedan that can still carry four passengers comfortably cosseted in leather and Alcantara upholstery.
BMW is making just 300 of these celebratory models worldwide, and appropriately for the anniversary, only 30 of them are going to be available in the US. If the special M5 doesn't make your heart race, the video basks in a little nostalgia, as well, by showing off the original model for some historical context.

2014 BMW 328d xDrive Sport Wagon

Fri, 11 Apr 2014

There's a running joke among auto writers that the perfect car would be a diesel-powered, rear-drive wagon with manual transmission and no power accessories whatsoever. It would only be available in brown and would somehow be as fun to drive as a Mazda MX-5 Miata. Makes total sense, right?
Realistically, no manufacturer is ever going to completely fulfill our wishes, no matter how much we beg, plead, kick and scream about our dream car that most of us would actually never buy. The best we can do is hope for a vehicle that mixes some aspects of this ideal journalist's car. And in today's world, that vehicle just might be the BMW 328d xDrive Sport Wagon.
No, it's not available with a manual gearbox, and power can only be sent through an xDrive all-wheel-drive system. It's also not available in brown (although both Mojave Metallic and Sparkling Bronze Metallic are acceptable stand-ins), but it ticks the two main boxes of being a diesel-powered wagon, one of only a couple such models in the United States.

BMW offers M Performance Power Kit for 2012 335i sedan

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

BMW has let loose a new M Performance Power Kit for its F30-generation 335i and 335i xDrive sedans. Starting at $1,100 for the kit - installation is extra - your car will be fitted with a new ECU and air intake on the functional side and an M Performance engine cover and rocker panel stickers on the decorative side. The Power Kit raises the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder's horsepower rating from 300 to 320, and on automatic models, torque gets a boost from 300 pound-feet to 332 lb-ft - manual transmission models get a smaller bump to 317 lb-ft.
According to the Bavarian automaker, you'll be able to hear the change in the overrun exhaust note, and 0-60 mile-per-hour times drop by 0.2 seconds. The package is available now at all BMW Centers in the US, and if you get it installed when you purchase the car new, it will get the same four-year, 50,000-mile warranty as the vehicle. Have it done after the fact and the kit will be warranted for two years and unlimited miles. There's a press release below with some more details.
