 This is a 1972 BMW 2002 in it's original "Nevada" color with a 4spd manual transmission and sunroof. The car is in GREAT shape with VERY little rust - in fact just one spot in spare wheel well. The car was originally purchased in California which explains the "dryness" of this 2002. I have literally a pile of receipts documenting its "life" in Southern California. (Also have the original California Blue Plate.)

I purchased the car from an older gentleman who spent more time hoarding cars than driving them. It needed a partial restoration to bring it to it's current state. Any and all original parts removed for replacement have been saved and will transfer with the car. The body is incredibly dry and required very little real work - the sills, front and rear shock towers, door bottoms, all glass frames, inner fenders, front and rear pans, all floor boards, frame rails, sub frame mounts, truck floor(except one spot in spare well), roof, and all quarter panels are rust FREE! As in ZERO, NONE, NUNCA, NICHT! I did remove the rear reflectors and welded the holes. You will find NO BONDO "filling" anything on this car! I wanted to give it a slight "old school rally look" with the CIBIE Oscar lamps and hood latches as well as "euro" flat front turn signals. (I have the original hood latch mechanism.) The wheels are brand new E30 steels wheel with new 195/60/14 rubber.(I have the original wheels and tires w/chrome BMW caps in great condition that goes with the car.) I added a MOMO Indy Steering Wheel to finish off the original interior. There is only one crack on an otherwise flawless dash! The door cards had been cut for speakers so I added new speakers as the old ones were ugly and shot. (I did not hook the stereo back up but it's all there and could be done in 15 miutes.) It really is a pretty car and turns heads wherever it goes. I have owned 6 - 2002's and this is the driest and best looking one I have had. Nevada has always been one of my favorite BMW colors of all time - I like Inka and Golf as well. :)

Now, for the "needs. The paint is the ONLY "not-so-wonderful" part of this car. It has some "rough" spots in it that could be fixed if so inclined. I color sanded and buffed it so it shines like crazy. I would call this a "5 foot paint job". You could "spot paint" to fix the spots without re-spraying the whole car.  The heater fan works when it feels like it. The headliner is hole and rip-free but it is dirty - I'm still in process of cleaning it. The front seats do have some splits in bottom cushions but I have some sheepskin covers that go with the car that could use. (I wanted to re-do the seats in a complimentary plaid color which would look incredible!)

If you want a classy-as-hell round taillight 2002 for a cars and coffee machine, classic tourer, or just head turner then this is good to go right now as she sits! If you want an over-the-top restoration this would be a great start.

BMW 3 Series set for mild facelift

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

The latest BMW 3 Series is pretty new, right? Well it's been on the market for the better part of three years now. And on a typical six-year production cycle, that means it's halfway through its life. It only makes sense, then, that BMW should be preparing a little mid-life facelift, and that's just what we appear to be looking at in these latest spy shots.
The changes will likely be minimal when the revised 3 Series debuts sometime in the middle of next year, with the visual changes to the exterior centering around a new front bumper. New lighting front and rear may also be part of the package, and you can also expect some updates to the interior while those Bavarian engineers are at it. Take a closer look in the gallery of high-res spy shots above for an idea of what to expect.

BMW X4 Concept is no Shanghai surprise

Thu, 04 Apr 2013

"One in four new BMW cars is now a BMW SAV." If you're new to BMW parlance, SAV stands for Sports Activity Vehicle, a vehicle type most of us more commonly refer to as a crossover, and that statistic, which comes straight from the automaker itself, tells you all you need to know about why the X4 Concept you see above exists.
Like its larger X6 sibling, the BMW X4 Concept tries to shove a crossover in a mold shaped vaguely like a fastback coupe. Put another way, the X4 is likely to be a polarizing design, though perhaps not to the extent that the X6 divided opinions. As for us, we definitely prefer the styling of this X4 Concept, with its strong character lines and impressive wheel-to-bodyside ratio, over that of its bigger brother. That said, we're sure the AMC Eagle comparisons will begin in earnest starting right about... now.
Dimensionally, it seems the most obvious machine with which to compare this X4 Concept is the 3 Series Wagon - we're not sure if it will be as spacious inside as the 3 Series Gran Turismo. A two-inch stretch in the wheelbase ought to bring a commensurate improvement in legroom, and a body that's nearly five inches longer should be a boon for cargo capacity. Of course, that fastback roofline will surely cut down on the car's roominess inside, but we'll have to wait for the final production model to judge its true capabilities.

BMW readying competition pack for M5, M6

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

According to Car and Driver, citing a report in BMW Blog, BMW will be offering performance upgrades - likely called the Competition package - for its M5 and M6 models (including the convertible and Gran Coupe versions of the M6). Both cars will continue to be offered with the normal 560-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engines, but this new performance pack is expected to add an additional 15 hp to the mix.
No need to worry, however - the upgrades won't simply be limited to a small boost in power. These M5 and M6 models will reportedly get new wheels, black exhaust tips, a more direct steering ratio and reworked suspension geometry which will provide better overall handling. Top speed is said to remain governed at 190 miles per hour, but that these extra improvements will shave one-tenth of a second off the cars' 0-60 times.
No pricing information has been revealed as of this writing, though we imagine it'll likely come at a substantial cost over the current starting prices of the M5 and M6 ($90,200 and $108,350, respectively).
