1971 BMW 2002 - Beautiful Colorado Orange

This 1971 BMW 2002 spent most of it's life in California and has a salvage title. I bought it in San Diego and sent it straight to 2002AD in LA to be looked over. Record of repairs at 2002AD is available.

This car sat under a garage in LaJolla for many years with its hood up which caused the rust on the hood and the surface rust on inside of engine bay. It was hit in the right front fender in the early 80's and a new right front fender from BMW was installed. This is the reason for the salvage title, back then the car was worth very little so it was considered totaled.

There is some surface rust under the car, a few rust spots on the very bottoms of the fenders, and one rust spot above the windshield. No other damage is seen. Shock towers, rails, and floorboards are all solid

The car runs, drives, and shifts very well. Features a 4 Speed manual transmission. Very desirable Colorado orange exterior paint. Tires are new. There is no smoke on accel/deceleration and it runs cool with no overheating issues. Heat works, blower motor works. You can drive this car like it is, very dependable. Interior is excellent, the only dash I have ever seen on a 2002 with NO cracks! Seats are in fantastic condition.

This 2002 is for sale locally and the auction may be ended at any time.

Please contact me with any questions. Thanks!

Mini nixes plans for 7-seater, Countryman to stay largest model

Sat, 08 Mar 2014

Contrary to popular belief, it seems that Mini's growth plans do have a limit both in size and number of models. During the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, it unveiled the six-door Clubman concept (pictured above) that was 4.4-inches longer and about two-inches wider than even the current Countryman crossover. Mini design chief Anders Warming says that this is the new size limit for its models, and the BMW subsidiary isn't building a larger, seven-passenger vehicle above the current Countryman.
"We won't build anything bigger than the Countryman, not at this moment. You should be able to park a Mini in a city, so a Countryman or this new Clubman is as big as it should be," said Warming to Auto Express in Geneva. Rumors going back to last November, pegged the Mini as developing an even larger vehicle to take on mainstream CUVs.
While Warming is ruling out a bigger Minis for now, a smaller one like the Rocketman concept still might be in the cards. He said that the project has been warmly received but still had to be investigated because "it's a numbers game." So if bigger Minis aren't coming, there still might be a slim chance for a smaller one.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has just certified its latest Top Safety Pick+, honoring the all-new BMW 2 Series with the coveted rating.
IIHS cited the 2 Series' crash test ratings, which were rated as "Good" in the small overlap, moderate overlap, side and rollover. In the tricky small overlap test, the crash test dummy was at a "low risk of any significant injury."
The Institute was also complimentary of the 2 Series' head restraint system and its collision prevention system, including forward collision warning and City Braking.
