Selling my 1973 BMW 2002, 2.0 litre base model, Malaga/Black with black interior and factory sunroof. This has been a project over the last year or so, but some issues remain. I've lost interest in the car and trying to fix them: the car would suit someone who is looking for a 2002 "roundie" and is prepared to address a) a smokey exhaust, b) a rough idle, c) scruffy paint. The car is drivable - it shifts into all gears, the brakes work. I know very little history about the car. I bought it about two years ago. According to the previous owner it had been in Southern California for at least 10 years before then, and prior to that must have been in Colorado, judging by a faded sticker in the rear window from a seminary in Denver. The BMW archives told me that the car was manufactured on February 7th, 1973 and delivered on February 9th, 1973 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original color was Malaga, paint code 021. Here's some more details: 1) Title is clear and in my name. VIN 2588395. 2) Factory sunroof 2) Matching numbers (original engine) 3) Center console with additional VDO gauges: Vacuum, Volts, Oil Pressure (with sender) 4) Working electrics (gauges, lights, washer pump etc.) 5) Weber 32/36 DGAV dual carb with water choke 6) Pertronix ignition 7) Mileage: true value unknown 8) Silver dollar gauges Rust: the previous owner told me he fixed rust on the strut towers in the trunk - see the trunk photos. There was some rust at the top of the front left wing behind the fender (a common rust spot on these cars) which I repaired with fiberglass - the repair is not visible - the area is not structural. There is some bubbling under the paint at the same position on the other side. There is some evidence of rust on the passenger side rocker, just behind the front wheel well. The spare tire well shows evidence of repair in the past, but not by me: I just applied POR-15 to the inside. There was some rust through at the base of the front valance, which was repaired. The floor pans look good, both from inside the car and underneath. Again, please see photos. Here's a list of what's new, replaced or notable: 1) New windscreen, new windscreen seal and lockstrip 2) Two new front tires (Falken 175/70-R13) 3) New rear window seal and lockstrip 4) New oil filter (Framm) and oil change (Castrol 20W50) 5) New BP6ES plugs 6) New ignition wires 7) New distributor cap and rotor 8) Replaced distributor 9) New in-line fuel filter 10) New fuel hose 11) Rebuilt Weber carb 12) New Weber water choke assembly 13) New VDO oil pressure sender and right angle adapter 14) New exhaust manifold studs, nuts and gasket 15) New exhaust down pipe clamp and donut seal 16) New valve cover gasket (valves gapped to 0.006) 17) New battery 18) Replacement steering wheel 19) New washer pump 20) New gas tank 21) New front bucket seats 22) Carpet replaced with good used 23) Recovered rear bench seat and back 24) Refinished interior trim (door panels, rear seat panels) 25) New sunroof seals 26) New wiper blades 27) New dashboard cover 28) New trunk and hood badges 29) Replacement speedo, shows 10k - not original mileage (which is unknown) Here's a list of what goes with the car: 1) Owner's manual (good readable condition) and some other brochures (poor condition) etc. in blue BMW pouch 2) Original front seats, and all attachment hardware 3) Original spare tire and jack Here's a list of "issues": 1) Engine idles roughly, exhaust smokes after engine warms up. May be running rich (carb issue), or may be worn valve stem seals: I don't know. Manifold vacuum is good (around 20mmHg at idle), oil pressure around 30psi warm engine. Engine revs freely. Timing set correctly. 2) Headliner tatty and stained 3) The front struts are bouncy and probably need replacing 4) Blower fan works but is squeaky 5) The paint looks fine from 20ft, iffy from 10ft, and downright poor close-up. 6) Radio/cassette works, but is not hooked up. There are no speakers. Since I haven't driven the 2002 more than once or twice around the block, I cannot estimate whether it would make it on a cross country journey or even across town. You are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the 2002 before the auction ends. If you need any more information, or photos (I have many), don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to answer. This auction may end early as the car is also for sale locally. A deposit of $500 is payable via PayPal within 24 hours if you win the auction, and the balance should be paid within 7 days, EITHER cash in person when the car is picked up, OR via wire to my bank account (I will give you details) before the car is released. NO OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTABLE. The auction winner is entirely responsible for pickup/shipping/transport of the car, although I am of course happy to help with the logistics. |

Ram and Alfa Romeo top J.D. Power study of best automaker websites
Fri, Jul 21 2023Imagining a new car can be terrific fun, especially if the new car is an Alfa Romeo. So say the fantasy engineers at the J.D. Power agency, who’ve found that Alfa and Ram, sister brands under the Stellantis umbrella, offer potential buyers the most attractive consumer websites, which are often their first viable encounter with those vehicles. Power found that those marques lead the mass market and premium categories in its twice annual Manufacturer Website Evaluation Study. In the premium segment, Alfa Romeo led with 755 points, up six points over BMW, 10 points ahead of Infiniti, 14 points past of Jaguar, and 18 points up on Porsche. By contrast, Volvo and Audi trail the pack with 689 points, and are behind Genesis (699 points), Tesla (720), and Cadillac (721), all of which perform worse than the premium segment average of 724 points. The summerÂ’s study showed that in the mass market segment, Ram leads with an impressive 735 points, which puts it six points ahead of GMC, seven points atop its stablemate Jeep, eight points beyond Subaru, and 22 points ahead of the industry average. Volkswagen finished dead last among mass market names, but only one point behind Ford, 684 to 683 out of a possible 1,000. Segment average, as noted, was 713 points. “Website satisfaction can be volatile, and automotive websites are not immune to changing preferences,” said Jon Sundberg, director of digital solutions at J.D. Power. “However, manufacturers have shown to be very agile when it comes to website design and ensuring their sites meet modern standards, more so than many other industries, as exemplified through the study data.” Marketing/Advertising Alfa Romeo Audi BMW Ford Volkswagen
2014 BMW X5 priced from $53,725*
Mon, 24 Jun 2013A month after the official curtain was dropped, BMW has seen fit to release pricing information on its new 2014 X5 crossover. The X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel-drive version of the X5, will begin at $53,725 (*including $925 for destination and handling) while the traditional all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive35i will begin at $56,025. Both feature BMW's well-regarded 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo N55 engine with 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
The 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d (Have these convoluted names confused you yet?) is priced at $57,525 with its 3.0-liter diesel engine (255 hp and 413 lb-ft), and, finally, the TwinPower Turbo V8-powered X5 xDrive50i (445 hp and 480 lb-ft) will start at $69,125. Buyers looking to customize their X5 experience can choose from the Luxury Line, xLine or M Sport packages, plus Ivory White and Mocha Interior Design Packages. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the X5 will come equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For comparison, the 2013 X5 xDrive35i started at $48,425. That means the price has increased by over $5,000 despite not including standard all-wheel drive or by $7,600 when comparing apples to apples with similar six-cylinder engines and power to all four wheels. The V8 model increased by $4,000 and the diesel, interestingly enough, dropped by $100.
Sunday Drive: A new Rambo Lambo takes center stage
Sun, Dec 10 2017Surprise! Autoblog readers love fast cars. Doesn't matter what shape; doesn't matter what size. As long as it's got big power, wicked acceleration, and ludicrous speed, you're interested. Take, for instance, the brand-new Lamborghini Urus. It's got a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. It hits 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, and has a top speed of 189.5 mph. Ludicrous speed? Check. And although you'd be hard pressed to draw a line straight back from the upcoming Urus to the old, off-road-ready LM002, at least you can say that Lamborghini does have a history of producing overpowered SUVs. A 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 444 horsepower and borrowed from the Countach certainly qualifies as big power, especially considering this was in the 1980s and '90s. A prime example just sold for nearly half a million bucks. Moving along to more traditional sportscars, we got a sneak peek at the next Porsche 911's interior, thanks to some intrepid spy photographers. And we spy with our little eyes some major changes to the quintessential German sportscar. Finally, we round out this Sunday Drive with two First Drive reports. Both are German, but past that, they couldn't be more different. Either way, ludicrous speed is all but guaranteed by either one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print.
