I purchased this vehicle about 11 years ago from the California Bay Area. I have had most of the mechanical work done on the vehicle over that time period. That includes new tires, front end suspension parts, brakes, new battery, tune up, exhaust front to back. I have replaced most of the interior including very nice front seats from a "3" Series BMW. I also had the door panels replaced as someone had installed the "infamous" round speaker holes in the old ones. All window parts were replaced to make all windows operable. I have 4 Pioneer speakers (2 for back trunk area and 2 for under dash). I have not installed yet but a cd player/radio is also included. I have done this stereo installation in my other "2" myself and it worked out well. This one will need a little bit of console work. The dark blue carpet in in decent/good shape. It needs a new headliner (usually available on EBAY for $150 or so). I have chosen to wait on headliner as roof needs some minor dent repair and likely needs accessed from the headliner area. A couple of nice features include a wooden Nardi steering wheel (Oak I believe) and a very nice set of Borbet wheels. Other new replacement parts include, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump and fuel hoses. 4 Speed transmission and clutch seem in fine shape and shifts smoothly. Mechanically, I have it pretty well dialed in. Our Family has been BMW owners since 1988 and I believe we have something like 9 in the immediate family currently. I have just picked up 3 more this year (2003 X5 for the horrible winter we just had, A Dinan 2001 540I with 6 speed manual and M upgrade, and a daily driver 2003 530I), so I am starting to run out of both garage space and time to have the various restoration projects managed. Time for someone else to have some fun, no sense for this one to sit in the garage, by the way, if you are unfamiliar these 2002's handle in an amazing fashion, just a blast to drive. On the rare occasions that we have let go of "one" over the past 20 years, the buyers have been extremely pleased as we do not skimp on maintenance. Most of the work on this on was done by Rick Vaughn (Vaughn Motorwerks in Zionsville, IN) and by Thomas Gill at AutoBahn ServiceCenter in Greenwood, IN, a couple of top shelf 2002 mechanics.
This vehicle needs as it's last stage, some light exterior body work and a complete paint job. While the body is in very good overall shape, there is are dents in the top above the driver window as mentioned above, and someone has used a spray can to "touch up" some areas. They also used a black gloss spray can to paint most of the rubber molding on the bumpers and bumper trim. They put a really nice looking set of mirrors and fog lights on it just after they finished spray painting as well. Mechanically, the car runs great and when driven, there are always people wanting to take a look at the vehicle at stoplights, etc. The vehicle gets great gas mileage. I don't believe the heater blower motor works but I have never driven it in the winter so mostly a non-issue. This car has the original equipment Solex carb. which is very functional and pretty easy to start, not overly cold natured. My other 2002 has the Weber conversion with choke and it is very sensitive to start and get proper carb adjustment and to restart after you have come out of the grocery store, this one always starts right up when warm to any level!. Although the exhaust is new, it seems to have a bit of an exhaust leak that you can hear when warming up, likely needs a gasket or two. Both door handle locks will need to have cores put in, they are empty of lock cores at the moment. And I believe I broke the license plate light on the right side recently. My next step for this vehicle would have included a header, removal of California Emissions items, an Ansa Exhaust to give it a little sound and of course, the body work and repair or replacement of bumper trim, windshield trim, etc. These cars are becoming very rare to find in any type of decent condition, especially the Midwest. For under 10k when done, you can have a really fun little car that will very likely hold or increase in value. I would welcome interested parties to come take a look at and drive the car. I am glad to answer any questions that you may have. I have owned at least one Model 2002 since the end of calendar year 2002 and likely always will. Thanks for considering. |

Thanks to smaller engines, vehicle dependability falls for first time in 16 years
Fri, Feb 14 2014As automakers have made engines smaller and smaller to improve fuel economy, problems in those vehicles have gotten bigger and bigger. That's the synopsis of a J.D. Power vehicle-dependability study, which found that dependability dropped for the first time in 16 years, largely because the proliferation of four-cylinder engines is causing the vehicles to be less reliable. Specifically, the number of problems per 100 vehicles (or what J.D. Power calls PP100) during the past 12 months for 2011 model-year vehicles rose six percent from the year-earlier figures for 2010 model-year cars. Singling out four-cylinder vehicles revealed about a 10-percent increase in problems during the past year. This issues largely related to engine hesitation, rough transmission shifting and lack of power, signaling the inability of vehicle makers to iron out some of the problems in their smaller engines as they strove for better fuel economy. Six- and five-cylinder engines proved far more reliable. Among car brands, BMW's Mini sub-brand came out as least reliable, with 185 problems per 100 vehicles during the past year. Toyota's Lexus badge was easily the most reliable, with just 68 problems per 100 vehicles. Coming in second place was Mercedes-Benz. The overall average was 133. Check out J.D. Power's press release below. J.D. Power Reports: Increased Engine and Transmission Problems Contribute to Decline in Vehicle Dependability for The First Time in More Than 15 Years General Motors Company Receives Eight Segment Awards, While Toyota Motor Corporation Garners Seven and Honda Motor Company Earns Six WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: o Owners of 3-year-old vehicles (2011 model year) report more problems than did owners of 3-year-old vehicles last year, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Vehicle Dependability StudySM (VDS) released today. The study, now in its 25th year, examines problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of 2011 model-year vehicles. Overall dependability is determined by the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100), with a lower score reflecting higher quality. The study finds that overall vehicle dependability averages 133 PP100, a 6 percent increase in problems from 126 PP100 in 2013. This marks the first time since the 1998 study that the average number of problems has increased. "Until this year, we have seen a continual improvement in vehicle dependability," said David Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D.
