Up for sale is my 1974 BMW 2002, sort of a barn find, I am the person who put it in the barn 10 years ago so it was not hard to find.
History
I purchased this car in March 1996, used it as a fun car, road rallies, club events etc. In 2003 my wife and I went on the road to travel so this went in the barn where it stayed until last week. I have title history back to 4/11/1980 but the oldest one with miles on it is dated 4/25/1989, it shows 58454 miles. When I purchased car it had 64813 miles, it now reads 67892 which I believe to be correct. Car as been stored indoors since 1996. So it is a low milage car. Time to sell. Car has not been registered since 2003.
Car is in running condition, I have driven it only 10 miles since I took if out of barn, RF brake froze up buy now seems to be working. Running a bit rough as it has a vacume leak at bottom of carb where it bolts to manifold, needs new gasket.
Engine, no known issues, the only modification that I am aware of is change to a electric fuel pump and weber carburator. On test run engine has some minor noice, took car to my machinic and asked his opinion. He did not feel that it was of any major concern, he felt that it was carbon build up and would go away. Will drive it some more this week and add comments.
This is not a show car but would be a daily driver which is what I purchased it for or if you wanted to restore it could be done.
Interior
Overall very nice condition, both front seats will need recovered. Picture of passenger seat shown, drivers about the same.
Two small cracks in dash, one nick on center console.
Door panels as well as rear panels are in good shape,
rear seat in good shape,
carpet in great shape.
Headliner in good shape.
Rear package tray in good shape.

Exterior

Body, this is a area that would need attention if you are going to show. It has rust repair by prior owner at some point and this needs attention, I have shown pictures of what needs done but it would include.
-lead edge of front hood,
-both rear wheel wells, arches,
-right and left front quarter in front of door.
-rear trunk under trim strip.
Deposit to be paid at close of auction, balance can be paid in cash when picked up. I can provide delivery at additional cost. Delivery would need to be paid in advance. Or your can arrange for commerical delivery.

BMW planning Zhi Nuo Chinese sub-brand, may export models
Sat, 06 Apr 2013Automakers continue to pour big money into the developing market that is China, and new sub-brands born of joint ventures with domestic partners crop up on what seems like a weekly basis. The latest? According to reports, BMW and its Chinese ally Brilliance are forming a new sub-brand called Zhi Nuo ("The Promise") that will likely rely on existing or older BMW products as a basis for new models.
Previous reports had indicated that the sub-brand could build its offerings based on an older 3 Series model (presumably the E90 series), but newer rumors have the X1 crossover (shown) factoring in. The Zhi Nuo brand could receive its official unveiling as soon as later this month at the Shanghai Motor Show.
Perhaps most interestingly, Automotive News Europe reports that the automaker's ambitions for Zhi Nuo may extend beyond China's borders. It's not clear what markets BMW may be eying, but executives admit the company hasn't ruled out Europe.
BMW i8 with 500+ horsepower in the cards?
Wed, 22 Oct 2014While BMW makes plenty of machinery to keep enthusiasts interested, its most enticing models are often based on more ordinary ones. That's what made the arrival of the i8 so captivating, emerging as the first stand-alone BMW sports coupe since the M1. But if its dual purpose - trying its best to both embrace the earth and traverse it rapidly - somehow left you disappointed, the next development could prove to fix that.
According to Automobile, BMW is working on a more potent i8S model. The hardcore version of the hybrid sports car would offer more power and a stiffened chassis to make it that much more aggressive. The Bavarian automaker is reportedly still evaluating two potential powertrain options: The first would pair a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder good for 320 horsepower to an electric motor with another 204 hp. The second would use a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Both would be mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an integrated starter motor packing an extra 27 hp.
Either way, we'd be looking at a combined output well in excess of 500 horsepower - far more than the existing i8's 228-hp turbo three and 129-hp electric motor - dropping the 0-62 time down from 4.1 seconds to an estimated 3.5. Couple that to a more advanced carbon chassis, wider tires and other goodies, and the i8 would be transformed into a far more capable performance machine than it already is.
2015 BMW X4 is a budget X6
Wed, 16 Apr 2014We won't argue that crossovers are hugely successful vehicles, with automakers working to provide functional CUVs in a wide range of sizes. But over at BMW, things are just getting out of hand, as evidenced by this new X4 "Sports Activity Coupe" that debuts here at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
BMW is seeing fit to offer vehicles in even the most niche of niches, and the X4 is no exception. Want proof? Have a look at the X4, and the compare it to the X3, the 3 Series Gran Turismo, the 3 Series Sport Wagon, and the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Aside from marginal differences in things like ground clearance and the exact slope of the hatchback, what, exactly, is the difference?
Like the other models we just mentioned, the X4 is powered by either a 2.0-liter turbo-four with 240 horsepower or a more powerful, 3.0-liter turbo-six with 300 horsepower, and unsurprisingly, power is sent to the ground exclusively via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox available with either engine. All sounds very familiar, right?
