Purchase used 1974 BMW Baur 2002… rare…rare..rare in Walnut Creek, California, United States

Advertising:

I have for sale a very rare 1974 2002 Baur, only fewer than 2000 of these 2002s were ever converted by Baur and they were all intended for European market. This one was imported new in 1974 to East Coast and ended up in Florida, in 1981 the original owner sold it to his sister, she has owned it up to a month ago! I bought it from her and had intended to give it the TLC it so deserves but my fianc? is not having any of it! We are moving locally to her house and she wants me to sell my old cars. So, here is your chance to own a piece of BMW/Baur history.

Here is the list of what's good;

- The car is not perfect but is in good overall condition, it was repainted about 7 to 10 years ago, paint still has a nice shine.

- Body has very good integrity, it's very original, both Targa top and rear soft top are in serviceable condition.

- Interior is good condition, front seats don't have any issues, rear seat is good with exception of three holes, dash has the usual cracks, door panels are in good condition.

- Glasses seem to be original.

- Mechanically it's very sound, original carb and choke are intact, engine runs very smooth and strong, transmission is solid and goes through gears with ease.

- It was featured on the cover of the June 1981 issue of BMW CCA Roudel magazine, how cool is that?

- It's in very original condition with minimal rust.

- The steering wheel is a vintage three piece sport signed MOMO, this alone is worth between $700 to $1000.

- Lights, wipers, horn, heater even cigaret lighter work.

The bad,

- There are a few paint bubbles on the hood.

- The rust I could see is under driver's side floor board.

- Turn signals do not work, probably a relay.

- Tires are bad and should be replaced.

Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, I have many more photos and will be happy to send them. Thank you.

It's worth mentioning this car being a 1974 model is California smog exempt.

BMW recalling a grand total of three X3s over instrument panel defect

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

We've seen big recalls and we've seen small ones. Some involve millions of vehicles, and some - like the Infiniti Q50 recall on which we reported just the other day - involve just a couple dozen. But this has to be the smallest recall we've seen yet.
"Due to a production process error" in the BMW X3, states the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the team seam on the instrument panel was not manufactured correctly." Big friggin' whoop, you say? Well, NHTSA points out that it could hinder the deployment of the airbag and send fractures flying everywhere.
The problem was discovered in a select few examples of the 2013 BMW X3 - both xDrive 28i and 35i models - manufactured in the later part of February this year. And by "select few," we literally mean a few - as in three. Three examples are being recalled. If you happen to be one of those three owners, expect to hear from your local dealership.

BMW 3 Series wagon configurator up, priced from $41,450

Mon, 25 Mar 2013

If you're still smarting from the shock of the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, we have good news for you. BMW has just fired up the configurator for the 2014 3 Series wagon. Prices start at $41,450, excluding an $895 destination and handling fee. The price tag will buy you a 328i xDrive Sports Wagon with a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine boasting 241 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. The automaker's xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive is also standard, as is a fuel-saving auto start/stop function and 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in all-season run flat rubber.
Buyers can step up to Sport Line trim for $2,600, and doing so graces the 3 Wagon with 18-inch wheels, high-gloss black accents outdoors as well as a sport leather steering wheel, high-gloss or aluminum interior trim and a black signature key fob. Luxury Line trim will set you back $2,300 abd features chrome trim accents outdoors and wood trim inside along with other goodies. Buyers can also opt for Modern Line trim at $2,300, complete with a turbine-design 18-inch alloy wheel, matte chrome trim bits outdoors and a range of interior trim options.
Our favorite of the bunch? That would be M Sport trim. While the tweaks are largely aesthetic, we dig the notion of 8-way power adjustable sport seats indoors and exclusive M Estoril Blue paint outside. Expect to pay $3,950 for the pleasure. Head over to the BMW site to build your own.
