THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1976 BMW 2002a two-door sedan! 
Finished in what appears to be ALL ORIGINAL Sahara tan paint over tan interior,  this last-year of the venerable double '02 sports a good running 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engine with new Weber carb mated to a rare factory-equipped three speed AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION with stopping power provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. This near-forty-year-old classic E10 sports very nice E30 BBS mesh wheels with fair to good rubber, updated cd stereo, reclining bucket seats, factory tool kit, E30 325i spare tire/wheel, original red-tipped antenna and original owner's manual.  The working five digit odometer shows 56,900 miles which is strongly believed to be just about 156,900 actual miles THOUGH I cannot verify this via Carfax or service history. This 1976 2002 is being sold with clean and clear California title, PLEASE NOTE: This 1976 BMW can ONLY be sold to a non-California resident/buyer due to aftermarket carb and missing original air cleaner and smog parts! This is a great find for about  the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating three series BMW sedan!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS.  ALSO PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS!

THE BODY AND TRIM
As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the exterior of this 1976 BMW is in quite presentable, very original unrestored "driver-quality" condition throughout with a nice shine to the paint. MOST IMPORTANT with these older BMWs is the "R" word.......RUST! Having owner dozens of these classic E10s, I can confidently say that this is absolutely one of the cleanest, driest, most original untouched rust-free examples I have seen in the last two decades. Is it 100% perfectly rust-free? Very close...99.99% with perfect shock towers front and rear, beautiful clean rocker panels, virgin body panels, There is only the beginning of surface corrosion in the spare tire well and some minute rock chipped spots where the weather has grazed the paint surface. Aesthetic imperfections on this car include some miscellaneous nicks, scratches, dimpling and wear to the exterior of this car. Overall a very nice driver-quality-example that will garner attention everywhere you drive!

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this 1976 BMW is in very good to excellent original condition throughout! It features beautiful seat upholstery front and rear, amazingly pristine original loop carpeting, mint uncut door panels, superb original headliner with working dome light, nice dash with two or three heat cracks, upgraded CD stereo with rear deck-mounted speakers, working speedometer, odometer, lights and blinkers, working crank windows and the groovy vent wing windows. Imperfections inside the car include inop blower motor and horn, some cracking and wear on the steering wheel, slight pulling away of the door panel bottom corners. Overall this is one very cool classic well-preserved cockpit!

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic BMW starts, runs, shifts, brakes and handles very well. With its whopping 100 horsepower on tap it will certainly not keep up with a new 135i but has surprisingly peppy acceleration, solid secure braking, smooth up and downshifting automatic transmission, tight non-power assisted steering and crisp rattle-free suspension. NOTE: the engine is believed to be factory original. It runs fairly well and smooth though smokes a bit and is a bit tired but still quite usable. Driving this car with its responsive handling and open airy cockpit harkens back to why the 2002 was THE car that put BMW here on the map here in America four decades ago!

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.

BMW 8 Series revival not coming anytime soon

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

If you thought the BMW Gran Lusso Coupe concept that was shown at Villa d'Este a few months back was a preview of a new BMW 8 Series, prepare to be disappointed. According to a report from the UK's Autocar, BMW officials have "rejected suggestions" that a production model based on the concept was coming. To be fair, though, would you expect them to just acknowledge it?
The Brits seem to be thinking the same, as the story went on to quote BMW research and development chief, Herbert Diess, who claimed, "We're looking into the possibility of production, but a decision is still a way off." Diess also points out that it's far too early for anything to be confirmed, seeing as how the concept only debuted about 10 weeks ago.
The well-received Gran Lusso was penned by Pininfarina and motivated by a brawny, twelve-cylinder engine. If it were to enter production, it'd likely sit at the top of BMW's gas-powered offerings, and would compete against the Mercedes-Benz CL AMG and Bentley Continental GT.

Hamann M6 Gran Coupe is all flared and shiny

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

Oh, Hamann. After rolling out the ridiculously pink Mystère at this year's Geneva Motor Show, the tuning company has worked its mirror-finishing magic on the BMW M6 Gran Coupe, debuting this, the aptly named "Mirror" at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It sure is shiny, and a full 40 millimeters wider than the standard M6 GC.
Hamann says that the, um, "tailor-made suit" exterior treatment is made up of a new front bumper spoiler with large air intakes, side skirts, a new rear spoiler, and wing extensions out back. And the end result is... well, let's just call it noticeable. The special BMW rides on unique 21-inch wheels and sits a full 25 millimeters closer to the ground, as well.
As far as we can tell, Hamann hasn't upgraded the M6's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 at all, though there's a new sport exhaust system that "depending on the application area, either noisily announce its presence or purr sportily." Sounds like it's as loud as its newfound appearance.
