You are bidding on a driver quality restored black on black 1972 BMW 2002.  I purchased this car in May of 2012 in Hillsboro OR and have spent the last two years having it professionally restored. 

I am the third owner of this car.  The original owner handed it down to his nephew and I purchased it from that nephew.  The car had been stored in the family barn since the late 90’s before I purchased it.  So I guess technically it’s a barn find.  Since the car had been in storage for the past 12+ years the body was in really great shape with no rust in any of the usual 2002 problem areas, shock towers, floor pans, spare tire well, running boards etc.  All are really solid.  I’ve included some before and after pictures of some of the common problem areas before they were cleaned and re coated with fresh undercoating to keep them protected.

The cars original color was malanga but it was repainted to (schwartz) black back sometime in the 80’s.  During the 2 year restoration I had the car taken down to bare metal and re painted this same black.  The interior of the car has been reupholstered in black vinyl including front/rear seats and door panels front/rear.  The door panels were replaced with Aardvark racing wooden panels before they were reupholstered.  As far as I can tell the carpet is original.  If so it’s in incredible shape.

Beyond the restoration the following upgrades have been performed:  BMW OEM BBS wheels, BMW OEM Sport Recaro seats, New Weber 32/26 carburetor, flush European turn signals and Hella driving lights.

Here is a high level overview of the work performed during the restoration, detailed work below.

Bare metal repaint in Fall 2013
Complete engine rebuild Spring 2013
Complete interior reupholster Fall 2013
Brake system rebuild Spring 2013
Suspension rebuild Spring 2013
Blower rebuild Spring 2014

All receipts for this work will go with the car.

The car runs well and the engine pulls strong.  It handles well and stops just as well.  After all the mechanical work I would expect nothing less.  Paint is a 9/10, interior 9/10, mechanical 9/10, chrome 8/10 (some of the chrome, drip rail, window trim has a few scratches), engine bay 7/10 (mechanically sound just could use detailing).

The engine has approximately 1000 miles on the rebuild.  The engine rebuild included the following:

New pistons
New head
New valves
New springs
New spark plugs
New spark plug wires
New belts
New Engine mounts
New weber 32/26 carburetor
New heat shield
All gaskets replaced

While the engine was out the following was done:

New transmission mounts
Service the transmission
Service the rear diff
Rebuilt the alternator
New water pump
New 320i radiator and hoses
New thermostat

The brakes were professionally rebuilt including:

New brake hoses at all four corners
Replaced brake master cylinder
Replaced rear wheel cylinders
New brake light switch

The front suspension was professionally rebuilt including:

New front control arms.
New front subframe bushings
New front strut mounts
New tie rods
New strut inserts
New Bilstein shocks
The original Bilsteins in the rear were in good shape and thus not replaced

The previous owner had performed the following work before I purchased the car:

New steering guibo
New clutch
New header back exhaust
New battery
New header back exhaust

The body includes the following:

New Ireland Engineering front spoiler
European flush mount front turn signals
New Hella 5 inch driving lights
New front windshield and seal
New rear windshield seal using original windshield
New trunk seal
New trunk lock
New beltline chrome trim
New emblems front and rear
New tires

In addition to everything listed above the following has been replaced.

New hazard switch
New blinker relay
New dash cover

Clean Title in hand.

Enjoy this car as a daily driver or keep it for the weekends and car shows.

Buyer to pay for shipping from Portland OR or local pickup.  I do require a 500$ deposit within 72 hours of close of auction.

2013 BMW R1200GS and HP4 duel at Circuito de Almeria

Wed, 05 Jun 2013

The 2013 BMW HP4 is the track-ready version of the manufacturer's already mighty S1000RR, which puts the bike at the very tip top of the two-wheeled BMW food chain. The R1200GS, meanwhile, is intended to be a somewhat more utilitarian machine. Capable of conveying both rider and gear over vast distances and uncertain terrain, the big-boy GS is the Swiss army knife to the HP4's rapier. Or at least that's what we've always been led to believe. BMW recently rolled out some footage during a press launch that showed the R1200GS is actually no slouch when it comes time to sling around a road course.
The company threw both bikes on Spain's Circuito de Almeria for a little sparring match, and miraculously, the HP4 didn't just up and walk away from the R1200GS. From from it. Instead, the two stay tightly matched through most of the course before something surprising happens. We won't spoil the ending for you. Is it possible the rider on the HP4 still had some in reserve? Sure, but from the sound and look of things, neither bike was giving an inch. Check out all the video action below for yourself.

BMW 1 Series GT spied in 7-seat trim

Mon, 20 May 2013

As BMW prepares to introduce its first-ever front-wheel drive car, the upcoming 1 Series GT, it looks like there will be at least two versions of the car. A conventional-looking hatchback was spotted testing late last year, but now we see an extended-length version in order to accommodate a third row of seats.
Judging by these spy shots, this 1 Series GT prototype has received an extended wheelbase, larger rear doors and more upright D-pillars compared to our previous spy shots (show in the gallery below) all with the aim of creating additional passenger and cargo space. Like the smaller 1 Series GT, this longer model would likely carry over the same powertrain options, which are expected to consist of three- and four-cylinder engines, a hybrid system and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The 1 Series GT could make its debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but we might have to wait until next year to see the people mover.

BMW to finally put i8 Spyder into production

Sun, Dec 6 2015

The BMW i8 Spyder might finally see production. The vehicle debuted in concept form over three years ago, but despite the coupe version having long since arrived in showrooms, the convertible has been nowhere to be seen. According to the latest reports from Germany, however, that's about to change. According to Automotive News, the company's new chief executive Harald Krueger told German publication Handelsblatt that we'll soon see the BMW i8 Spyder in production form. The prospect of open-air motoring under prodigious amounts of electric power sounds enticing, however we'll have to wait and see just what sort of roof mechanism the production model incorporates. The concept had removable roof panels, however the manufacturer tends to favor automatic roof setups – hardtops in the Z4 and 4 Series, or soft tops in the 2 Series and 6 Series. Around the same time, BMW could introduce a power upgrade in the form of a larger internal combustion engine and a higher-capacity battery to go with it. A 2.0-liter turbo four is tipped to slot in where the current three-pot sits, bringing output up to a solid 450 hp – and with a longer range to boot. If those upgrades to arrive – with or independent of the open-roof version – expect them to be implemented on the coupe as well as the roadster.
