Up for sale is my 1974 BMW 2002, sort of a barn find, I am the person who put it in the barn 10 years ago so it was not hard to find.
History
I purchased this car in March 1996, used it as a fun car, road rallies, club events etc. In 2003 my wife and I went on the road to travel so this went in the barn where it stayed until last week. I have title history back to 4/11/1980 but the oldest one with miles on it is dated 4/25/1989, it shows 58454 miles. When I purchased car it had 64813 miles, it now reads 67892 which I believe to be correct. Car as been stored indoors since 1996. So it is a low milage car. Time to sell. Car has not been registered since 2003.
Car is in running condition, I have driven it only 10 miles since I took if out of barn, RF brake froze up buy now seems to be working. Running a bit rough as it has a vacume leak at bottom of carb where it bolts to manifold, needs new gasket.
Engine, no known issues, the only modification that I am aware of is change to a electric fuel pump and weber carburator. On test run engine has some minor noice, took car to my machinic and asked his opinion. He did not feel that it was of any major concern, he felt that it was carbon build up and would go away. Will drive it some more this week and add comments.
This is not a show car but would be a daily driver which is what I purchased it for or if you wanted to restore it could be done.
Interior
Overall very nice condition, both front seats will need recovered. Picture of passenger seat shown, drivers about the same.
Two small cracks in dash, one nick on center console.
Door panels as well as rear panels are in good shape,
rear seat in good shape,
carpet in great shape.
Headliner in good shape.

LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
Forza Motorsport profiles courageous paralyzed racer
Fri, 08 Aug 2014It's easy to look at racing video games as just a time waster or a hobby. In reality, though, they're often powerful tools for aspiring racers to learn tracks, race craft and how to set up a car in an easily accessible, risk-free environment. We aren't just talking about proper computer-based sims, like iRacing. Console-based racers like Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo provide a test bed for racers of all sorts.
For Mario Bonfante, Jr., a former motorcycle racer that was involved in a brutal accident that left him in a wheelchair with only limited use of his arms, Forza is a bit more. It allows him to perfect the setup of his personal racecar, a heavily modified E46 BMW M3, complete with hand controls.
Check out Mario's inspiring story.
BMW names new head of M division
Wed, 24 Sep 2014BMW's performance division has been run by Dr. Friedrich Nitschke since 2011, developing, among other products, the new M3 and M4. But soon the good doctor will be retiring, and BMW has just named his successor.
Taking Nitschke's place as chairman of BMW M GmbH will be Franciscus van Meel (pictured at right), who until recently served as managing director of Audi Quattro GmbH - the rival outfit that makes Ingolstadt's performance models, including the R8 supercar and RS line of performance models.
Van Meel will join BMW on October 1, presumably to learn the ropes from Nitschke before the 59-year-old executive steps down at the end of the year. Back in January, Audi named Heinz Peter Hollwerweger as head of Quattro GmbH and reassigned van Meel to its Beijing R&D center, a role which evidently didn't suit him as well as creating Autobahn-storming German muscle cars.
