Very fun to drive, fast, in great condition, recently rebuilt sunroof works perfectly, strong engine, very solid car. Good daily driver, original (some mods), partly restored, body is straight and overall very good condition. Clock keeps time, interior lights all work, has original spare tire and rim in great condition, original painted emblems, original radio, uncut door panels, new headliner, carpet, etc. More details:
History: I am the third owner, bought it from an architect who lives and kept the car in Malibu, CA for many years. He bought it from original owner who moved to CA from east coast in the early 80's. From the German BMW archive, they confirmed the following: "manufactured on November 17th, 1972 and delivered on November 20th, 1972 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Chamonix, paint code 085." Engine/mechanical: was rebuilt by second owner about 22,000 miles ago. It runs very strong with no smoke, at any speed, and has never let me down. The two BMW 2002 specialty shops that worked on it said it is one of the fastest Tii's they've ever driven, has great acceleration. Turn key, it starts cold and properly sets to the idle as it warms up. Drives off perfectly. I had the fuel injection rebuilt, added electronic ignition, is in good order, runs good. It handles great and steering and suspension all work well. Brakes in good condition, stops evenly and solid, about 70% left. Transmission works great first through third gear, however there is a slight grind going into fourth gear. I've learned to put in fourth without any grind by easing it in, however if you just slam it from third to fourth you will experience a slight grind but nothing that will prohibit driving or enjoying the car. It will not require any immediate replacement however I waited on this because I wanted to put a 5 speed in it. A used 4 speed transmission put in by a 2002 specialty shop is about $500. Body: solid and repainted about 15 years ago. The sunroof was rebuilt a year ago and works perfectly. I recently had the front nose section of car replaced, as the original was a mess from someone trying to fix dents with bondo and ugly grills. Mechanic said to replace the nose for better results so a BMW 2002 specialty shop in L.A removed the nose tip off a good clean used 73 2002, at the factory seams, and installed as original, looks factory. The nose, hood, and front fenders were repainted to complete and looks very good. Only body rust was "fixed" under the spare tire by previous owner when he had it painted, was not done well and just filled. Because its not noticeable and in spare, I did not fix it. It poses no issues at all except it is not that difficult to have the spare tire tub replaced, estimate was about $500. Last, the bumpers are original and starting to show their age. Front bumper still looks presentable, but rear not so much (see pics), chrome is flaking. I got a quote to re-chrome them for $1000 and will have it done for new owner if they wish, just add the $$ to final price, told it takes a week. Interior: New carpet, new headliner, solid door panels with no holes, original radio (does not work), heat/cold work but fan does not, all gauges work except odometer .. speedometer works fine. The seats are good, no tears, however you may notice in pics that the blue is a bit lighter than the door panels. Odometer stopped working about 200 miles ago and not sure what happened but likely to be the cable. My mechanic said fan will need repacement, and this is the only spot he found rust, as the original fan is rusted frozen. The spare and fan are common rust spots for coastal 02's as the moisture collects. The dashboard has a few cracks and I put the 'powered by BMW' badge on it because someone prior installed a digital clock. ?? I removed clock and covered with the badge. Tires/rims: New Kumho tires, very nice handling. The rims were sanded and repainted, clear coated, and look great. The spare tire and rim are original from the factory, untouched and still look excellent. These rims all straight except the left front has a minor curb rash spot. The spare rim appears to have never been used. Price: NADA shows the 73tii going price as $20.6k (low) and $34.3k (high). Because it is a good driver, with rare working sunroof, will start with a minimum and no reserve. Good luck! Auction: Please contact me with any questions by ebay email or phone (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Please inspect or have car inspected before purchasing as this car is sold as is. A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close. I can keep it in my garage up to two weeks, will be happy to help with shipping if needed. Thank you. Story on the BMW 2002tii vs 2002, taken from official BMW 2002 archive .... The biggest change for the 2002 series was the introduction of the 2002tii. The “fuelie” was much more expensive and much faster. It still is the standard of performance for the smaller BMWs. The tii has also survived in remarkable numbers since it is the true enthusiast’s car. The 2002tii had larger diameter wheel cylinders, larger and thicker front rotors and brake pads as well as a tastefully mounted clock on the dash. It also boasted virtually no emission controls, heavy duty front spindles, boxed rear A arms, heavier clutch and a 3.45:1 differential yielding a higher top end. In 1973
the plastic intake manifold trumpets were changed to more reliable
aluminum ones which didn’t have any O-rings to blow out. Some small
modifications were made to the injection pump linkage. In 1974 a new
distributor was installed along with some other minor emission controls.
Other than that the car remained parallel to the 2002. The 1974 2002tii
was slower but this was primarily due to a difference in weight. The 1973 tii was the fastest and last of the round tail lights, as well as chrome bumpers. |

BMW M2 to pack 365 hp
Fri, May 8 2015The BMW M2 was spied testing several times last summer, but there has been little news about the upcoming entry to the M family as of late. More info is finally leaking out though, and it potentially confirms some past reports, while giving a better idea of what the coupe looks like. We have to take any of these leaks with a grain of salt, but according to a user on the 2addicts forum citing insider sources at BMW headquarters, M2 production begins in November. This person also reiterates that the coupe uses BMW's N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. In this tune, it would reportedly make 365 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque. Plus, an over-boost system would allegedly push twist by about 25 lb-ft at low revs. At launch, this rumor also suggests that BMW might keep the M2's color palette limited to just four choices: Alpine White, Black Sapphire Metallic, Long Beach Blue Metallic and Mineral Grey Metallic. Inside, there're purportedly even fewer hues with the only one being black with blue stitching. Assuming these numbers are accurate, the M2 seems to represent a decent upgrade over the already capable M235i. It also uses a version of the N55 but a version making 320 hp and 330 lb-ft. In addition to the extra grunt, previous spy shots show the M with a front fascia akin to the M3/M4.
Behind the Scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 2 [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014After spending four days practicing about a dozen drift stunt moves in a parking lot for an upcoming BMW "Drift Mob" internet mini-film, Rhys Millen, Sam Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald are finally ready for show time. We are brought to the huge urban traffic circle to see the stunts performed midway through the day to observe for a couple of hours.
The undertaking is massive, with multiple cameras set up, scores of crew members, a helicopter filming from above, a rigged pickup for car-to-car shots, sidewalks lined with security and plenty of curious onlookers, and oh, yeah, a major intersection of a top world city shut down for an entire weekend.
The five drifting legends are nestled in their identical red BMW M235i coupes, which have been modified with special handbrakes but essentially nothing else you can't get on a stock version, and are listening to direction from director Mic Rodgers and stunt coordinator Riley Harper. We're basically given free rein of the set, to shoot the cars, the drivers, and at one point, even hopping in with Yoshihara for one of the admittedly more tame stunts. Even then, the g-forces are so severe that they flip our cameraphone's video recording from landscape mode to portrait. Yes, this is a pretty cool day to be reporting on cars, and as we said during our first installment of our behind the scenes coverage of Drift Mob, we're honored to be the only US media outlet here to tell the tale.
1959 Ferrari 250 GT California sells for nearly $18M, exceeding expectations
Thu, Dec 7 2017RM Sotheby's just wrapped up its auction in New York, where it sold off a pair of gorgeous silver roadsters, with one of them selling for the incredible price of $17.99 million. That car was a 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California that we covered previously, and Sotheby's was only expecting it to go for between $14 million and $17 million. Apparently someone felt the car's rare aluminum construction and racing history was worth the extra cash. View 11 Photos The other roadster went for considerably less money but was notable because of its previous owner, late Apple CEO Steve Jobs. The car is a 2000 BMW Z8 that the tech mogul had for around three years. The final sale price only met expectations, though, at $329,500. The original auction estimate was between $300,000 and $400,000.
