Very fun to drive, fast, in great condition, recently rebuilt sunroof works perfectly, strong engine, very solid car. Good daily driver, original (some mods), partly restored, body is straight and overall very good condition. Clock keeps time, interior lights all work, has original spare tire and rim in great condition, original painted emblems, original radio, uncut door panels, new headliner, carpet, etc. More details:
History: I am the third owner, bought it from an architect who lives and kept the car in Malibu, CA for many years. He bought it from original owner who moved to CA from east coast in the early 80's. From the German BMW archive, they confirmed the following: "manufactured on November 17th, 1972 and delivered on November 20th, 1972 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Chamonix, paint code 085." Engine/mechanical: was rebuilt by second owner about 22,000 miles ago. It runs very strong with no smoke, at any speed, and has never let me down. The two BMW 2002 specialty shops that worked on it said it is one of the fastest Tii's they've ever driven, has great acceleration. Turn key, it starts cold and properly sets to the idle as it warms up. Drives off perfectly. I had the fuel injection rebuilt, added electronic ignition, is in good order, runs good. It handles great and steering and suspension all work well. Brakes in good condition, stops evenly and solid, about 70% left. Transmission works great first through third gear, however there is a slight grind going into fourth gear. I've learned to put in fourth without any grind by easing it in, however if you just slam it from third to fourth you will experience a slight grind but nothing that will prohibit driving or enjoying the car. It will not require any immediate replacement however I waited on this because I wanted to put a 5 speed in it. A used 4 speed transmission put in by a 2002 specialty shop is about $500. Body: solid and repainted about 15 years ago. The sunroof was rebuilt a year ago and works perfectly. I recently had the front nose section of car replaced, as the original was a mess from someone trying to fix dents with bondo and ugly grills. Mechanic said to replace the nose for better results so a BMW 2002 specialty shop in L.A removed the nose tip off a good clean used 73 2002, at the factory seams, and installed as original, looks factory. The nose, hood, and front fenders were repainted to complete and looks very good. Only body rust was "fixed" under the spare tire by previous owner when he had it painted, was not done well and just filled. Because its not noticeable and in spare, I did not fix it. It poses no issues at all except it is not that difficult to have the spare tire tub replaced, estimate was about $500. Last, the bumpers are original and starting to show their age. Front bumper still looks presentable, but rear not so much (see pics), chrome is flaking. I got a quote to re-chrome them for $1000 and will have it done for new owner if they wish, just add the $$ to final price, told it takes a week. Interior: New carpet, new headliner, solid door panels with no holes, original radio (does not work), heat/cold work but fan does not, all gauges work except odometer .. speedometer works fine. The seats are good, no tears, however you may notice in pics that the blue is a bit lighter than the door panels. Odometer stopped working about 200 miles ago and not sure what happened but likely to be the cable. My mechanic said fan will need repacement, and this is the only spot he found rust, as the original fan is rusted frozen. The spare and fan are common rust spots for coastal 02's as the moisture collects. The dashboard has a few cracks and I put the 'powered by BMW' badge on it because someone prior installed a digital clock. ?? I removed clock and covered with the badge. Tires/rims: New Kumho tires, very nice handling. The rims were sanded and repainted, clear coated, and look great. The spare tire and rim are original from the factory, untouched and still look excellent. These rims all straight except the left front has a minor curb rash spot. The spare rim appears to have never been used. Price: NADA shows the 73tii going price as $20.6k (low) and $34.3k (high). Because it is a good driver, with rare working sunroof, will start with a minimum and no reserve. Good luck! Auction: Please contact me with any questions by ebay email or phone (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Please inspect or have car inspected before purchasing as this car is sold as is. A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close. I can keep it in my garage up to two weeks, will be happy to help with shipping if needed. Thank you. Story on the BMW 2002tii vs 2002, taken from official BMW 2002 archive .... The biggest change for the 2002 series was the introduction of the 2002tii. The “fuelie” was much more expensive and much faster. It still is the standard of performance for the smaller BMWs. The tii has also survived in remarkable numbers since it is the true enthusiast’s car. The 2002tii had larger diameter wheel cylinders, larger and thicker front rotors and brake pads as well as a tastefully mounted clock on the dash. It also boasted virtually no emission controls, heavy duty front spindles, boxed rear A arms, heavier clutch and a 3.45:1 differential yielding a higher top end. In 1973
the plastic intake manifold trumpets were changed to more reliable
aluminum ones which didn’t have any O-rings to blow out. Some small
modifications were made to the injection pump linkage. In 1974 a new
distributor was installed along with some other minor emission controls.
Other than that the car remained parallel to the 2002. The 1974 2002tii
was slower but this was primarily due to a difference in weight. The 1973 tii was the fastest and last of the round tail lights, as well as chrome bumpers. |

BMW confirms M4 DTM for next season
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Fans of BMW performance had two events to keep an eye on this weekend: the reveal of the M4 Concept at Pebble Beach, and the efforts of the Bavarian automaker's DTM teams at the Nurburgring. What ties them together, however, is what BMW has in store for next year.
The German carmaker has confirmed that it's already working on a new M4 DTM to campaign in the highly-competitive touring car series starting next season. It didn't reveal any details, but we can expect the M4 to make the same jump to competition spec as the M3 did before it. And with some success, we might add: successive versions of the M3 have won 48 DTM races over the years, starting with the checkered flag which Harald Grohs claimed at Hockenheim in 1987 through to the same race which Augusto Farfus won earlier this year. After taking home the title for BMW in its first year back in DTM last season, Bruno Spengler also won at the Red Bull Ring in Austria two months ago, but the Bimmer teams seem to be having a bit of trouble defending its title against fresh assaults from Audi and Mercedes.
BMW undoubtedly hopes the new M4 DTM will help it turn another new leaf, and we're looking forward to seeing how it all shapes up. Read more in the press release below.
Upcoming new BMW X6 leaks out ahead of full reveal
Thu, 05 Jun 2014The X5 may have been the first BMW crossover on the market when it arrived in 2000, opening the door to more high-riding Bavarians to follow, but it's been replaced twice over now. The X3 is on its second generation, and with the X1 having been introduced in 2009 and the X4 soon to hit showrooms, that makes the X6 - introduced in 2008 - the oldest crossover in the BMW lineup. But it won't be for much longer.
Soon BMW will reveal the all-new X6, based on the latest X5 but with that tell-tale slanted roofline. But before it gets the chance, a handful of images have leaked their way all over the Internet to give us an advance look at what to expect.
The overall shape of the new X6 comes across as familiar, if a bit less of an awkward take on the vehicle that (for better or worse) launched the crossover coupe segment. Up front the twin kidney grilles and headlights are larger, in keeping with the latest BMW design language, and the bumper less horizontal and more dynamic. Towards the back there's a sharp crease above the wheel arch blending into the more rakishly shaped tail lights, while the metallic vent behind the front wheel arch lends the flank an even sportier appearance.
BMW X4 hatches its fastback shape in Shanghai
Fri, 19 Apr 2013The day has finally come for BMW to pull the covers off its X4 Concept at the Shanghai Motor Show. The machine brings few surprises - we've already seen an official image gallery from the German automaker, so its exterior shape was well known - but at least now we get to see it with our own eyes, and with the lenses of our very own cameras.
You can clearly see the fastback roofline in our high-res image gallery above, along with the jacked-up stance that allows BMW to call this machine a Sports Activity Vehicle, which basically means "Crossover" to our friends in Munich. We've seen similar vehicle shapes before, most notably in the form of the BMW X6, but also as far back as the 1980s from the likes of AMC.
We fully expect the transition from concept to production to be pretty seamless, so what we see here is, for the most part, what we'll see on the showroom floor in 2014. Feel free to peruse the press release below, but first, be sure to browse through our live images from Shanghai and let us know what you think.
