1972 Bmw 2002 Racing Dynamics Recaro Extensive Documentation Low Miles on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
 1972 BMW 2002 Racing Dynamics “Roundie” E10 If ever there was an automotive trendsetter, BMW's 2002 was
it. This is the car that literally spawned the soon-to-be-popular
Sport GT category and, in the end, was one of the main reasons that the
Bavarian Motor Werks became the successful car company that it is today. Speed Sports is proud to offer this ultra clean example
of a “Roundie” BMW 2002. This car with
its extremely well documented history and great performance upgrades, I am sure
will be very desirable and sought after.
It is rare to find a car of this caliber today. We have a 4” thick folder of documents, original
manuals, receipts and a logbook of everything done to this car. Most of the work was done at a well-known local
BMW shop Mike O’Hara. The records date
back to the mid-80’s and includes the last 2 owners. The car was purchased by the most recent owner with 54800 miles
in 1991; the speedo was replaced 3 months later with a higher top speed speedo
that had 27790 miles. Doing the math,
this means the car has 86k original miles.
Very, low miles for a 42-year-old car.
The Prior owner spent $$$ on its restoration and performance
upgrades. I could not think of a better
built 2002 than this one, everything was done right. All of the Racing Dynamic upgrades , the
suspension, and engine upgrades really make this a great Sports Car. The matching Racing Dynamics wheels, steering
wheel, spoiler and shift knob are in excellent condition and give this car a
great stance. The suspension is all
Bilstien performance shocks and springs, big sway bars make it handle like it
is on rails. We replaced the old
Yokohama A-509 tires with more modern rubber, and it goes down the road
straight and true. The suspension is
very comfortable and not too harsh. The
engine was redone in 1988 and upgraded, about 40k ago, it was a complete, fresh, blue
printed rebuild. It has Weber performance carburetors and performance exhaust
with a cookie cutter exhaust tip. The motor starts right up and runs very smooth,
with no smoke or bad noise. We replaced some hoses on it, and gave it a full inspection
as well as an oil change when we acquired the car. I have put a couple hundred miles on this car running around
town and it is a real hoot to drive. The paint is very good looking, we had the front spoiler repainted, but the rest is how we got it. It does not have any rust anywhere. It is solid in all the bad areas that these car typically have. Floors, strut towers, rear shock mounts and all suspension points are perfect. There are no surprises here. The Paint is very glossy and has little marks or rock chips. Again it has NO Rust what so ever! The interior has Recaro seats and newer carpet, door panels
and rear parcel tray. It is all in
excellent condition. It has had some nice trunk panels built to
protect things from denting the inside of the trunk and finish it off
cleanly. Other non-stock upgrades are;
Alpine stereo system and alarm and power door and trunk locks/release. For whatever reason the car has been driven very little over
the last 14 years. It was stored properly in a climate controlled shop and we
made sure to take all the proper steps when we brought it back into regular
use. This car is strong enough to be daily driven, autocross or
kept in any collection. We have gone through this car extensively, and it is in excellent mechanical condition. Runs very smooth and strong. It has had a full tune up with distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, filters, alternator, thermostat and oil change. Every time I drive
this car, I wish I could just keep it forever! Call 503 475 8078 Josh or Matt 503 819 9007 for details Inspections prior to end of auction are welcome.

BMW M4 vs. Lexus RC F in Head 2 Head sports coupe showdown
Wed, 29 Oct 2014It's the showdown everyone's been looking forward to, the East versus West grudge match of the year. We're talking, of course, about the BMW M4 versus the Lexus RC F.
Although BMW uses a twin-turbo straight-six and the Lexus uses a free-breathing V8, the two are pretty closely matched on paper: a luxury coupe with over 400 horsepower channeled to the rear wheels.
The BMW has been doing these cars for longer, and the M4 boasts a higher power-to-weight ratio. But then the RC F has more power - and without forced induction to break up the rev range. So which is the better luxury muscle coupe? Watch the latest episode of Motor Trend Head 2 Head to find out.
Mercedes says it's tops in luxury sales for 2012, not BMW
Tue, 19 Feb 2013It turns out that Mercedes-Benz North America has legitimate claim to being the top selling luxury nameplate in the US in 2012.
While sources such as Autodata had put BMW in the top spot, registration data from R.L. Polk shows that Mercedes customers registering new vehicles topped the Bavarian automaker in the most recent calendar year. Polk says Benz posted 274,123 registrations, compared with BMW's 268,498.
In terms of sales posted, BMW had bested Benz 281,460 to 274,134. But sales are recorded somewhat inconsistently from automaker to automaker. Some book the sales as soon as they are shipped from factory to dealer. There is perennial gamesmanship between the two German rivals, and the sales numbers suggest that BMW pushed out some extra sheetmetal to dealers in the last four weeks of the year.
BMW confirms new Mexican plant
Thu, 03 Jul 2014After over a year of speculation, BMW is finally officially announcing that it's building a factory in Mexico. The new plant will cost the German automaker roughly $1 billion US and will have a capacity of about 150,000 vehicles a year when complete. However, production won't begin there until 2019.
The new factory is being built near the city of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, with plans to employ about 1,500 people. Unfortunately, BMW is still mum about which models it's producing south of the border. Earlier rumors indicated the possibility of the 3 Series, 1 Series and maybe even Mini models there.
BMW says Mexico's multiple free trade agreements are a major factor in the choice of location of the plant. They make it possible for the automaker to ship models more cheaply to North America, parts of South America and the European Union. "The Americas are among the most important growth markets for the BMW Group. We are continuing our strategy of 'production follows the market,'" said Harald Krueger, the board's head of production, in the company's official announcement.
