1974 BMW 2002 Rivera Blue Survivor 



An Arizona car fully updated that migrated to Dallas, TX.  Comes with extensive records from way back.   Just about everything is in great original condition or have been updated.  

Body and Appearance Upgrades

·         Period BWA or similar custom 13 inch wheels with fairly new tires

·        All trim, tail lights, etc. in excellent or like new condition. 

·         Belt trim appears to have been updated and in excellent condition.   A few dents that could likely be removed but shiny new stainless trim

·         Rubber in doors, windows, quarter windows, trunk seal, door handles all look to be in excellent condition.   Appears to have been replaced with car was redone.

  • Fog lights correctly mounted in bumper
  • Special switch with red LED indicator to turn on fan on AC condenser for extra engine cooling when needed.
  • Trunk detailed nicely with new trunk boards with OEM clips

Engine and mechanical upgrades

·      Engine runs excellent and it appears all peripherals were replaced when car was updated (alternator, voltage regulator, water pump, ignition, plug wires, 32/36 Weber carburetor etc.   All seems to function nicely

  • All electrical works, gauges, lights, turn signals... new turn signal switch etc.
  • High performance nice sounding exhaust...sounds great mild raspy tone
  • Shocks and struts in excellent shape.  Assume were replaced when car was redone but need to check
  • Brakes work as new

Interior upgrades

·        Wood and stainless steering wheel new.   Horn button does not appear to work but we can probably get working for small labor charge for new buyer

·       Interior all in place no obvious rips or tears

·        New 13 piece black carpet set

·         Custom cup holder to be included with car… installed in preference of new owner 

·        Dash in excellent nice shape has been reconditioned and textured with epoxy or similar… just a good look but not perfect

·        Previous owner has installed new white headliner.   Done nicely but not exactly stock as has an interior light installed in middle of headliner.    

Other Mechanical and Special Features

·       AC all complete and  works but likely could use additional Freon.  We will add freon for  new owner

·        Clutch and transmission seems to work excellent. 

·        Car accelerates and runs with more power then we think a stock 2002 performs but do not have any details of actual engine build

Issues with car

We really see no issues with car except for new paint.     Appears previous owner who updated car took extreme car to get rare Riviera Blue color correct and use a nice base coat / clear coat paint.   However, tops of both doors, roof and a few spots on hood are not perfectly straight.     Good news is any paint shop (or our paint shop) could sand prep and blend in and make car very close to perfect.   Costs to do this could range from a few hundred dollars to 2 or 3K depending on who does work and how.    All said though just a wonderful car with this one limitation.    Unfortunately, the paint weakness does not really show well in pics .  A new owner could enjoy car without doing anything to paint as unless car is being studied or is completely clean these deviations are not highly noticeable.

 

Vehicle is Sold AS IS, Where IS and new owner will be required to sign bill of sale stating this.    We would encourage you to inspect vehicle and / or request additional pictures or study link to additional pics / or call us and we can walk through every area of car

BMW 2 Series, X5 get their M Performance parts on

Mon, 02 Dec 2013

BMW models come in a number of flavors, from their standard guises to M Sport variants and M Performance models to full-on M muscle machines. But if you want to pick and choose the degree to which you want your Bimmer upgraded along the path to M, BMW automaker offers its M Performance Parts line. The Bavarian automaker already offers these performance and stylistic add-ons for a number of models, and has now released new kits for both the 2 Series Coupe and the latest X5 crossover.
The catalog for the 2 Series includes an available lowered suspension kit, upgraded brakes, new alloys, carbon aero kit and interior trim enhancements. There's also a power kit available for the 220d model that squeezes out an extra 16 horsepower for a total of 200, and a limited-slip differential and exhaust silencer for the M235i.
Upgrades to the X5 crossover, meanwhile, also include a carbon aero kit and interior trim package. The X5 xDrive35i model also gets a power kit boosting output by 20 ponies to 326 hp and an exhaust silencer. Scope out the details in the pair of press releases below and the pair of high-resolution image galleries top and bottom.

Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022   For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases.  Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.

BMW's next-century concept mentions no powertrain, and we're sad

Mon, Mar 7 2016

So the Ultimate Driving Machine might soon become the Ultimate Machine Driver. We get it, that's the way things are moving. For its part, BMW still plans to involve a driver in its next-century designs, as foretold by the Vision Next 100 concept it unveiled at its centenary celebration kickoff event. But what gets us is that BMW, Bayerische Motoren Werke, the company known for delivering some of the most sorted powertrains – gasoline and otherwise – over the last century makes no mention of the future of propulsion when presenting its idea of the next 100 years on the road. Maybe it's the fact we just don't know what will power our cars even 10 years down the line; locking into one concept or another could look bad in hindsight. But the whole, er, concept of a concept is to look at what might be possible, not avoid sticky issues. Where are the in-hub motors, the wireless charging mats, the onboard fusion reactors we were promised in Back to the Future Part II? This is an opportunity to offer innovative solutions. Skipping over the power was a mistake, and one that makes me a little disappointed in the company. I'd have liked to see BMW go big with a bold prediction, or even just admit that gas will be gone and some form of electrification will take its place by 2116. We're okay with electric motors as long as they don't drain the life out of cars, and they don't have to, which is something companies like Tesla and even BMW have proven. Here's hoping one of BMW's other centenary concepts will pick up where the Vision Next 100 fell short. Related Video: Featured Gallery BMW Vision Next 100 Concept Green BMW bmw vision next 100 concept
