Welcome to my listing for my latest 2002 restoration. My 8th 2002 restoration and my first automatic 2002. I've also restored a '71 BMW 2800CS. Check out vinatgebmwlivedotcom 

RARE 1972 BMW 2002 Automatic... they didn't make a lot of roundie automatics and even less with a sunroof. This particular 02 does have salvage title... although this shouldn't be too much of a concern. At sometime in the past it was hit in the rear... before my purchase. Often insurance companies will salvage a vehicle not really knowing the true collector value of the vehicle. I am assuming this was the case with this 02 or it was so long ago that the collector value wasn't there yet??

Anyway, as I said, it was hit in the rear and repaired before I purchased it. The repair was so so and I had it repaired better when I had the car stripped and prepped for paint. I do have pictures of before & during the restoration process. There was some rust issues to contend with (typically) and they were taken care of (some new metal welded in where necessary). All the wheel towers are good with new  under coating, the undercarriage is in good condition but no undercoating was used there. An undercarriage detail might be in order to match the beauty of the rest of the car. I think the pictures will speak for them selves but if not... here are the details of this restoration:

New paint w/ clear coat, all newly polished aluminum moldings, re-chromed back bumper w/ new rubber, new sunroof seal, re-chromed 2002 emblem, new BMW roundels (front & back), new license plate rear lights, new trunk seal, new front windshield, new front windshield seal, new windshield aluminum chrome molding (front & back), re-chromed taillight bezels, newly restore front grills, new front yellow side markers, new elephant skin back trunk boards, new gutter rail aluminum moldings. Interior; new door panels, newly custom stitched dash, new headliner, new sunroof crank and backing, new sun visor clips, newly cover backseat window base, new automatic tranny console w/ new brushes (light works), new coco mats. Engine; new brake master (brakes are good), new battery, electronic ignition, new spark plugs, new oil service, the engine runs great!!  I notice a big difference between the manual and the automatic. The pro to the automatic is it cruises at 70-75 nicely where the 4 speed manual is winding out (4000 rpms) at 65. The automatic is a much nicer road trip car. The con is it's pretty slow off the line. The tranny is in excellent condition with all 3 speeds working great. The hubcaps have been re-polished and look better than new w/ new roundel cap stickers. Brand new 185 70 13 tires, excellent spare with jack and crank. 

I'm sure there's more but hard to remember every little thing. This has been a 6 month restoration and in the end I am VERY happy how this 02 came out.  Keep in mind, if this was not salvage title, my reserve would be a lot higher than it currently is. Note: I do have this 02 advertised elsewhere so I do reserve the right to end the auction early...

Please contact me to ask any questions. I am displaying a lot of photos but I have more that can be sent per your request. A $1,000 deposit will be required within 24 hours of winning bid. Full payment due per arrangement will be required 48 hours after winning bid. Anyone without a good ebay rating, please contact me before bidding. If possible, come see and drive this 02 in person. I am located in Laguna Beach, CA and welcome your visit within the 7 day auction period. Thank you for bidding and good luck...

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe spotted wearing minimal camo, M Sport pack

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The new BMW 4 Series is essentially the coupe version of the latest 3 Series. So it would stand to reason that the four-door version of the 4 Series, in turn, would be the 3 Series - right? Well, yes and no.
Just as BMW offers both a 5 Series sedan and a four-door version of the 6 Series called the Gran Coupe, so, too, will its 4-Series family expand. So following the release of the new 4 Series Convertible, here we have the latest batch of spy shots showing the upcoming 4 Series Gran Coupe - which in turn should not be confused with the hunchbacked 3 Series Gran Turismo, which is more of a sporty wagon than a four-door coupe.
The nearly ready test vehicle pictured here is wearing only minimal camouflage to hide some last few details, but also appears to be wearing the M Sport package that will bridge the gap (at least, visually speaking) between the base models and the M4 Gran Coupe that is all but certain to follow.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW

Sat, 29 Dec 2012

It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
