I looked for a long time for a nice 2002 before acquiring this car. This beautiful 1974 2002 Tii has been carefully maintained and upgraded by several enthusiasts over the last 40 years.
The first owner was a dentist who purchased it for his daughter, and after realizing she didn't like manual transmissions, sold it to Bob, owner number two, who is a long time BMWCCA member. Bob kept and enjoyed the car for 25 years, driving it through many US states, as well as an extended vacation in Europe one year. He upgraded the transmission to a BMW 5speed and also added a BMW limited slip differential (both imported from Germany)and last kept it in Arizona, where, after his long term ownership, he sold it to a friend in Arizona. Jim, owner number three, had a performance engine rebuild done on the original block by Top End Performance in North Hollywood, CA. Also added around that time were rear disc brakes, front and rear shock tower bracing by Top End Performance, a performance header for the exhaust, open air intake, and larger front and rear sway bars. Two more Arizona enthusiasts owned it after Jim, and then I purchased it not quite two years ago and drove it non stop from Phoenix to just northwest of Los Angeles, where it now resides. Over the last two years, I've had the car tuned up to run more optimally, fixed a few small annoying issues (loose shifter, noisy door hinge, small paint touch up, etc.) Although the engine only has about 12000 miles on it, I had a compression check done, and the readings were all between 180 and 192. The car starts right up whether it's been parked for two months or two minutes. The combination of the higher engine horsepower, 5 speed, four wheel disc brakes, and handling upgrades make it very fun to drive, whether on the freeway or a twisty back road. It supposedly has about 10-15% more power than stock, and I can say with certainty that it is faster than an MGA, but slower than a Tiger or GT500! The Behr air conditioner blows cold, and the older Blaupunkt stereo sounds good, and has hidden speakers (notice no speaker holes in the interior door panels or rear package shelf). The stereo also has a cassette deck and Sony CD stacker mounted in the trunk with remote, but I have only listened to the radio. A box full of receipts and maintenance records is included with the car, along with the owner's manual, BMWCCA tech manual, Volumes 1 & 2 of the BMW 2002 shop manual, and an extensive assortment of spare parts, as pictured. CONDITION: BODY...Aside from a few very professionally done minor touch ups, I believe that this has all original paint, as stated by prior owner and also professional body shop owner who inspected it for me. All chrome and glass are in great condition, stainless trim is great with exception of one ding on driver's side behind door, despite my efforts to park it far away from the crowds! All lenses are good except front left corner light has a small hole in the front edge of the plastic. I have a used replacement light for this. Chassis, except for a few small areas of surface rust (it's original, never been repainted) is straight and corrosion free, as shown in photos. All gaps are good, doors, trunk and hood open and shut properly. One key operates both doors, ignition and locking gas cap, a second key operates the trunk. INTERIOR...Front seats as shown are upgraded from a newer BMW and are very comfortable. Rear seat, side panels, headliner and carpet all appear to be original and in good to excellent condition. The driver's side door panel has a pencil-eraser sized flaw above the arm rest and the headliner has a small 1/4-1/2" slit above the passenger sun visor; these are the only significant flaws I've noticed. It has a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, as well as a three gauge cluster which resides where the original Tii clock was located (which is included)..The Baupunkt radio sounds good, the speakers are hidden (notice no speaker holes in the door panels or rear package shelf). It has a Sony CD stacker in the trunk with a remote control, but I haven't used that or the cassette deck. The Behr Air Conditioner works well and blows cold, which came in handy in Arizona! I believe the headliner and sun visors are original and very clean, aside from the one tiny slit noted. The front corner windows open and shut, the door windows roll up and down easily, and the rears pop out. The carpet is protected by older Coco floor mats, which are in good shape, except for the driver's mat which has worn where your heal rests. It also has competition belts sitting on the rear floor which connect into the stock belts, but I haven't used them. TRUNK...Has the jack, tool kit, spare rim (bottle cap style with an older unused Mojave radial spare tire), original floor panels. Top End Performance rear shock tower brace/battery holder have been added. No rust or damage as shown, even in spare tire well. Nice original paint on panels and inside of trunk lid. ENGINE...Compartment holds performance rebuilt original engine, with upgraded header, air cleaner, MSD ignition/coil set up. Original air cleaner, coils and exhaust manifold included. Aftermarket horns added, original BMW stickers are in place. Insulation added under hood. In December, 2012 I had the spark plugs and wires replaced, valves adjusted, the air filter serviced and the fuel injection serviced and adjusted, and had the compression checked at that time (192, 185, 185, 180). I've put about 554 miles on the car since then. It runs very strong and smooth, and starts up easily whether it's been sitting for two minutes or two months. When not in use, it is kept covered in a garage and on a battery tender. I try to drive it at least once every one to two months for at least 20-30 minutes. MISCELLANEOUS...The tires are Michelin Pilot Exalto AS 195/60 R14 with very low miles and in my opinion look and handle very well on the mesh style rims. The brakes stop well and straight, and the car handles great...driving this, you can see why the 2002, especially the Tii, really put BMW on the map! SUMMARY...While I don't profess to be a BMW expert, I believe this is one of the best original paint 2002 Tii's you'll find anywhere. While it absolutely isn't stock or restored, it's very enjoyable to drive, looks great, and all non-original parts are bolted on. When I purchased it in September, 2012, I drove it the roughly 450 miles from Phoenix to Ventura without a hitch, but thought it could run stronger, and it now does. So, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, but with that said, it's 40 years old and is for sale without warranty expressed or implied, and is for sale as is. I have acquired a few other older cars since this one, and reluctantly must sell something, so this is it...I'm sure I'll regret it once it's gone, but that's the way it goes! This is an auction with what I believe to be a fair reserve. I don't have to sell it, and it is being advertised elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells elsewhere. I'm also not interested in playing scam games like sending it out with a bogus check to cover costs, etc., so please don't try. I am willing to hold it for up to three weeks at no charge after the auction if paid in full. If you have less than 15 Ebay feedbacks you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel the bid. I can make it available for a shipper to pick up after all funds have been cleared by my bank, but shipping costs and arrangements are up to the buyer. Any inspections must be arranged with me prior to the end of the auction. The car is kept in secure storage in the 93004 zip code, Ventura, California. I require a $1000 non refundable deposit to my Paypal account within 24 hours of the auction end by buyer, and the remaining purchase funds to be in my possession within five business days, by cash or certified check. The car will not leave my premises until all funds clear my bank. For questions, you can write through Ebay, or call or leave a message at (80five) 21eight-550three. Thank you for your time and interest! |

Vorsteiner BMW M4 GTRS4 shows how to do a widebody at SEMA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Part of the joy of the SEMA Show is that all of the best tuners in the world are competing to show off their wares, and the challenge often pushes the companies into some absolutely insane directions. Case in point: Vorsteiner and its ludicrous GTRS4 wide body kit with the BMW M4.
According to Auto Evolution, the kit reportedly adds 4 inches in the front to fit 10.5-inch-wide wheels and a massive 7-inches more in the rear to snug in 13.5-inch-wide wheels, but spinning around the BMW in these images makes the changes look even more extreme. Beyond just the extra room in the fenders, the lower air intakes are ready to suck in huge volumes of cool air, and there's a front splitter to keep things planted. The front and rear extensions are joined by side sills that grow the farther back they go. Finally, at the rear, the M4 gets a reworked diffuser with mesh inserts.
This is just the type of automotive craziness that makes SEMA interesting. Take a lot at it for yourself in the gallery.
BMW makes X7 in Spartanburg official
Fri, 28 Mar 2014BMW has made it official - there will be a flagship crossover called X7, and it will be built right here in the US of A. The announcement was made today, confirming rumors of the new model at the Spartanburg, SC factory that broke earlier this week.
"Plant Spartanburg was built to enhance and expand the BMW lineup, underscoring the BMW Group commitment to the United States" said Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the BMW board of management in a statement. "In addition to the X3, X5, X6, and the new X4, we are today announcing another all-new, larger X model to be manufactured exclusively at this plant for our world markets: the X7."
BMW will spend $1 billion by 2016 upgrading its South Carolina factory, which already produces the X3, X5 and X6. The plant is currently capable of producing 300,000 units per year, but with the big investment from BMW, capacity will climb to 450,000 units. 800 jobs will be added as a result of the investment and new and upcoming models.
BMW adds new entry-level 320i model, priced from $33,445*
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Fans of the new BMW 3 Series here in the US have likely been waiting for one of two models to arrive: the new M3 or the diesel-powered 335d. Well... keep waiting just a little bit longer. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW is showing off the new entry-level 320i that will join the 3 Series lineup this spring, and rather than bringing added performance or efficiency, this car is boasting affordability above all. The 320i has been on sale in other markets since the current-generation 3 Series was introduced, but it goes on sale in the US with a starting price of $33,445 (*)including $895 for destination, which is $3,405 less than the current starting price of BMW's well-liked sedan.
In other countries, the 320i uses either a 1.5- or a 2.0-liter inline-four (both turbocharged), and the US version of the car will be getting the latter engine producing 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current 328i, which uses this same engine, produces 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. As expected, performance of the 320i will suffer with BMW estimating a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 7.1 seconds, but it still has the same 130 mph top speed as the 328i. Oddly enough, despite the lower output, BMW's expected fuel economy for the 320i equipped with rear-wheel-drive and the eight-speed automatic transmission actually matches that of the current 328i with 23 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, and those numbers are actually lower than the 328i with the manual gearbox.
It sounds like most of the usual 3 Series options will be available on the budget-minded 320i, including the choice of xDrive all-wheel drive, BMW Assist and numerous packages including a Sport pack and Premium pack. For a lot more information on the 320i, most of it general information on the F30 3 Series, scroll down for BMW's press release.
