A 1974 BMW 2002 series vehicle for sale! A great collector's item and a perfect project for restoration! It is a 4-speed manual transmission.

I bought this car back in 2006, in the hopes of restoring it one day, but unfortunately I've fallen on hard times, and I simply don't see myself being able to afford to do this anytime soon.

What it needs:

- Body work (obviously): It has a few knicks and dings, but it's nothing really major.  There is a dent on the passenger-side door. The driver-side mirror is cracked and needs to be replaced.  See pictures.

- A new windshield. The current one has two vertical cracks, a large one on the passenger side, and a small one on the driver side.

- New brake rotors and pads. I currently downshift and slow down, even sometimes using the emergency brake; they are barely functional and they don't stop on a dime. This is a priority and it's very important to get these replaced as soon as possible!!!

- Redo the interior of the car. This is not a priority, of course, but if you're looking to restore the car to a collector's item, you may want to do this when you get a chance.

- Replace the hazard/4-way switch. The current one is not functioning, but you can buy one of these online at Bavarian Autosport or other sites and it's around $60.

- There's no air-conditioning installed in the car. I just open the windows and sometimes the sun roof, but it's still hot as hell in Arizona!!!

- The passenger side door doesn't lock from the outside; needs to be locked from the inside.

- Starting up the car is usually not a problem; since this is a 39-year old car, and it doesn't have a choke switch, in cold weather, it usually takes a few turns before the thing starts up. In summer or hot weather, it usually starts up right away. 

- Current mileage unknown, because it only goes up to 5 digits.  No idea how many times the odometer has rolled over since 1974.

Other than that, the car itself runs just fine. I still use it to commute to and from work in North Phoenix, about 50 miles each way.

I do get a lot of compliments about the car from friends and strangers alike, that it's a classic, and it's a nice car, in spite of its age and looking rough on the outside. I love the car, but I simply just cannot afford to restore it at this time. I didn't realize until much later that this is a costly luxury.

In any case, I hope someone out there would like to take this car and turn it into something nice later on. If you happen to purchase the vehicle from me, and restore it, I ask that you please take photos and send them to me. I'm really curious how it turns out later.

Thanks for your interest and good luck!

BMW to change model designations, further yet from actual displacement?

Sat, 12 Jul 2014

Once upon a time, you could look at the back of a trunk lid of a BMW and come up with a pretty fair idea of what sat under its hood. For example, a 320i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.0-liter engine, a 328i was a 3 Series with a fuel-injected, 2.8-liter engine and a 328Ci was a two-door 3 Series with the same engine. Those were good days.
Today, though, that simplicity is dead and gone. A 328i now has a 2.0-liter engine, just like the 320i, while the simple "C" designation that was affixed to two-door models has been replaced with a "4," so we have a 428i and a 435i. It gets worse, though. A 550i uses a 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8 (it should be a 544ti, although we'd be willing to hear an argument for "tti") and a 740i uses a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, which is the same engine found in a 535i. It's madness.
And, well, it's about to get madder, if a post on a BMW enthusiast forum is to be believed. According to f30post.com, we could see a shakeup in at least the 3 and 4 Series nomenclature, thanks to an impending refresh that will see the addition of new, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines, codenamed B48 and B58, respectively.

EVO takes flight in BMW's sultry i8

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Electric cars and hybrids are here to stay, much to the apparent dismay of some auto enthusiasts, but that doesn't mean they have to represent the death of enjoyable driving. Granted, the initial run of hybrids in the US like the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius weren't exactly tailor-made for aggressive folks behind the wheel, but things are clearly changing. In its latest video, Evo takes a look at three examples from Europe's new crop of electrified vehicles to show that the future of fun motoring is safe and sound.
Evo editor Henry Catchpole kicks things off with one of the most bizarre EVs of the bunch, the tiny Renault Twizy. Its low power and 50-mile-per-hour top speed might make it miles away from a hot hatch, but there's still fun to be had in extracting the most from this little city car. Next up is the Audi A3 E-Tron, which isn't technically available yet. It's a step in the right direction of eventually creating an affordable, fun-to-drive hybrid hot hatch.
However, the main event is Catchpole getting some seat time in the BMW i8. The Bimmer can really fly -literally in this case - and the butterfly-door coupe offers a clear look at the prospects for electrified sports cars. It might not have the power of hybrid supercar contemporaries like the LaFerrari or Porsche 918 Spyder, but the BMW doesn't cost nearly as much, either. See? Improved efficiency doesn't have to mean boring.
