Hello, I have a seemingly all original 1969 BMW 2002 with 48179 miles. I bought it from a friend who desperately needed the money, and in order that I might in turn sell it for him.

I'm not really into BMW, I've never owned one, so ask your questions accordingly. I will of course try to be as descriptive as possible and post good photos, and it is possible to ask questions of the original owner through me. Also, I am told the mileage is proper and original at 48,179 but since it's five digits I have no way to verify it wasn't rolled over.

Here is what I am aware of that the car needs:

Brake work, some wheel cylinders have been replaced, but it does need a brake line, (included).

It appears to warrant a complete going through under the hood tuneup wise. I presume it hasn't been on the road for around 13 years since last registration expired in 2001. Car was in storage. This BMW does run and drive and has low miles. Other than that I have no extensive history. We put some non ethanol gas in it, drove it onto a trailer, and brought it home, that's about it, Only drove it a few hundred feet in total perhaps in my driveway since the brakes weren't pressurized. This means that this car has likely never seen ethanol.

All in all, you'll see the rockers could use some attention, structurally however, this car is very meaty. Heavier thicknesses than typical by today's body standards were used. This little piece of history is quite salvageable in my opinion.

I also have a box full of extra items for the car, including the original trailer hitch that was produced as original equipment for this car. I noticed an extra alternator, extra taillights, and a lot of misc items.

Bid in confidence, I've been on ebay for over 13 years, never a negative, and I used to be quite an active buyer and seller. At any rate, this car isn't a show stopper in it's current shape, but well worth a full restoration for the right collector who wants to oversee the restoration their own way, or for someone who just wants a really cool and rare car. Bid accordingly, and you are buying the car as is of course. There's also no title with something this old. The serial number doesn't have standard 17 like a vin, alternatively there is a signed over registration to transfer ownership, typical of the year I understand, and at least in NY it's no problem.

Car is for sale locally so the right to end early and cancel the auction is reserved.

Anyone wanting additional photos please contact me, i'd be glad to even take a video of the car running etc. Also of note is that floor pans and such are in very solid shape, as is the trunk. I can also be reached via phone, at 585-310-1803 with any questions.

On Jul-10-14 at 08:28:37 PDT, seller added the following information:

I neglected to mention that I do have all four original hubcaps. Some are in good shape, some are dinged up a little, decent overall.

2014 BMW 328d rated at 32/45 mpg

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

BMW still hasn't released official fuel economy numbers for its diesel-powered 2014 328d, but now, those mileage ratings have been posted on the EPA's FuelEconomy.gov website. As expected, the 328d is quite an efficient little machine, with the rear-wheel-drive sedan good for 32 miles per gallon in the city and 45 mpg highway. That even bests the 30/42 mpg of the smaller Volkswagen Jetta TDI.
The last time BMW offered a diesel 3 Series in our market, it was the six-cylinder 335d, which - while mighty quick and excellent to drive - was only offered as a rear-wheel-drive sedan and was rated at 23 mpg city and 36 mpg highway. For 2014, BMW will offer the 328d with optional xDrive all-wheel drive, though that reduces the fuel economy numbers to 31/43 mpg. Beyond that, the BMW will even sell you a 328d xDrive wagon, which nets the same 31/43 mpg rating, according to FuelEconomy.gov.
Look for the 2014 BMW 328d to hit dealerships this fall, and when it launches, it will be the only diesel offering in its class (until the next Mercedes-Benz C-Class arrives, anyway). Lexus and Infiniti will offer hybrid versions of the IS and Q50, respectively, but we've always had a taste for torque, and the 328d's 2.0-liter engine with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of twist shouldn't disappoint.

FCA joins BMW, Intel and Mobileye on autonomous car project

Wed, Aug 16 2017

Today, BMW, Intel and Mobileye announced that FCA would be joining their effort to build a sharable and scalable platform for autonomous cars. This project has been moving ahead full steam, with Intel purchasing Mobileye earlier this year, not long after Tesla and Mobileye parted ways. Not long after that, parts supplier Delphi joined the autonomous effort. The group's current goal is to have 40 autonomous test vehicles on the road by the end of 2017. The eventual end game is to create a new architecture that each partner can use and adapt to its needs. The platform will support level 3 to level 4/5 automated driving, and can be adapted to suit brand identity. The main headquarters for the effort will be in Germany. FCA staff will join the already established group of engineers from BMW, Intel and Mobileye. The group expects this new platform to hit the streets by 2021. It's unclear how this will affect FCA's relationship with Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle project. Waymo currently uses modified Chrysler Pacificas for its fleet. In addition to FCA, the trio of BMW, Intel and Mobileye have extended an invitation to any other automakers and suppliers that want to join the project.

Lexus NX, BMW i3 to get Super Bowl commercials

Mon, Jan 19 2015

At this point last year, we'd been getting news on automotive-focused Super Bowl commercials for more than two months. The teasers hadn't come out yet, but manufacturers lined up for the super-expensive spots were making their intentions known. This year? Almost nada, until this week. BMW has said it will air a 60-second spot promoting the i3 during the first quarter of the game, the Munich firm returning to The Big Game after a four-year absence. BMW says, "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." We say that pitching a tiny range-extended hatchback during the beer-iest American sports orgy of the year should make for some neat commentary afterward. Lexus is putting its new NX crossover in the second Super Bowl commercial it's ever aired, eschewing the glitter of celebrities and glamor for a straight-shooting spot and the tagline, "Be seen, be heard, make some noise." Joining those two are Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan and Toyota. The six confirmed carmakers are down from eleven last year, when car spots made up a quarter of the total ad time. The price to do business for 30 seconds this year: reportedly around $4.5 million, up a stacks from last year's $4 million. You can watch the Lexus commercial in the video above, and beneath that, the BMW press release below has a bit more information on its effort. BMW to Advertise All-Electric BMW i3 during Super Bowl XLIX. The all-electric BMW i3 is featured in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 15, 2015... Today, BMW announced plans to feature the all-electric BMW i3 in a 60-second spot during Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday, February 1, 2015. After a 4-year hiatus, BMW will be returning to the big game with a commercial during the first quarter. "As one in three Americans will tune in to watch the Super Bowl, we are thrilled to use this platform to educate viewers on the importance of electric mobility," said Trudy Hardy, Vice President of Marketing, BMW of North America. "Big ideas like the BMW i3 take a little getting used to, and the creative idea surrounding our spot will play on this analogy." BMW i is BMW's forward-looking and sustainable brand dedicated to solving many of the mobility challenges faced by the world's most densely populated cities. The BMW i3 is the first of the BMW i vehicles constructed from the ground up primarily of carbon fiber.
