Hi, I have a 1976 BMW 2002 in Indianapolis that is partially restored. I would like to sell in hopes of buying a roundie later on. I'll try to be as detailed as I can, though message me with any questions, please!
It was purchased in Florida last year and I have worked on it almost every day up until previous winter. Mileage unknown as odometer doesn't work (as usual), though I don't believe it has been rebuild as it uses about 1/2 quart of oil every 1000 miles or so. It is an Automatic (which shift perfectly through all gears) and has a electric sunroof (originally hand crank, but I installed it using an original Bosch sunroof motor) as well as Behr A/C (needs to be purged). It is very solid (rockers, shock towers) and would only need two things to be a daily driver: a radiator and front axle work. A new paint job and detailing can make this a show car easily.
Things I've done:
- The only areas that had major rot-through rust were the driver and passenger floor, so I had in new sheet metal welded in both areas.
- The underbody and rear subframe has POR-15 semi gloss black.
- The sunroof drain tubes were rusted out and have been repaired. The rear tubes drain above the rear wheel arch.
- Headliner has been installed (albeit not the best) as well as tan cut-pile carpet (molded).
- Sound deadener has been applied on the floor pans and rear seat back.
- New rear quarter window seals.
- New sunroof felt/rubber seals.
- New primary and secondary muffler from ANSA.
- A/C controls didn't work when I bought it, but I fixed the electric part. It needs to be purged and recharged. Included is two freon cans to refill. The compressor works, but may need oil. Also one of the refrigerant hoses was broken so I bought a new hose and fitting which need to be crimped.
- Removed red engine fan and replaced with electric fan in front of condenser. (still have original parts).
- Removed emissions wiring
- New idle jet.
Things previously done before purchased:
- 32/36 DGEV with water choke.
- Later E30 bottlecap wheels. (Originally wheel as spare, but no tire)
- Originally Sahara. Repainted Green (I believe a Mercedes color) at South Beach Classics. Not a great paint job, and there was at one time a satalite radio receiver on the trunk taken off, leaving a Sahara tan patch. Some scratches here and there but overall, its all one color and mostly nice.
- Some VERY MINIMAL body filler on sunroof, near front sunroof drain exit, and valence.
- CD Player (Occasionally skips depending on the disk.) Door panel and parcel shelf speakers (which sound tolerable)
Things needing to be done:
- Most notably and recently: the front brakes, bearings, and alignment. It takes almost two feet to stop the car so I wouldn't recommend driving it very far/fast.
- Also a big deal: it needs a new radiator badly. There is a mini geyser under the grille that makes it somewhat embarrassing to drive. It doesn't overheat as long as the water is topped off.
- The A/C, as mentioned. Or it can be removed.
- For a show car, the sunroof needs a new lid, new guides and some TLC. It closes too high in the front. It would be better to get one from a donor car. However, the motor works fine. It will also keep you dry as I fixed the drains. $200 for a new lid from 2002ad.com if you desire to get a new one.
- No horn buttons (horn works though...the buttons just broke.)
- Some minor scratches and a shallow door ding (repainted over before I purchased it.)
- Rear window seal was aftermarket and doesn't fit right, but keeps water out. Always buy OEM I now learned. I do have the chrome strip though I will include.
Seats have no tears at all and the dash is not substantially cracked. All electrics/lights work. It may POSSIBLY need a starter in the distant future as it has given me trouble ONLY ONCE (hitting it with a rachet fixed it). Transmission shifts perfectly. I kept most everything original other than the electric fan. Have all the parts when first purchased which I will include. Also some misc parts (additional cluster parts, new rear wheel bearings, A/C manifold gauges)

BMW celebrates 30 years of M5 with 600-hp super sedan
Wed, 07 May 2014It's been 30 years since BMW rolled out the first M5, and while displacement and cylinder count may have fluctuated over those past three decades, output has only increased. The first-generation E28 M5 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six with 252 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. The second-gen E34 model that followed added an extra 100 cc (and later 200 more) to produce 310 hp and 266 lb-ft. The E39 followed with a 4.9-liter V8 churning out 394 hp and 369 lb-ft, replaced by the award-winning 5.0-liter V10 in the E60 with its 500 hp and 380 lb-ft before BMW rolled out the latest model with a 4.4-liter V8, its twin turbos making up for the two dropped cylinders and 600 cc of displacement to produce 560 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque. But even that's being left in the dust by the new special edition you see here.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 packs that same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, but cranks the output up to a nice, round 600 horsepower and a solid 516 lb-ft of torque to go with it. That makes it more powerful, not only than any M5 that's come before it, but also any of its rivals. The Jaguar XFR-S and Audi RS6 Avant (the latter only available as a wagon and not in North America) both lag behind this ultimate of Ultimate Driving Machines; only the Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG trumps it on torque (but not on power), with 531 lb-ft in stock form and 590 in the S-Model.
As a result, the 0-60 time drops from a quoted 4.2 seconds in the stock M5 to a scant 3.7 in the 30th Anniversary edition (just one tick behind that twistier E63 S). The special M5 also comes with the Competition Package as standard, as well as a dedicated control module for the Active M Differential, a special Frozen Dark Silver matte finish, 20-inch alloys and black chrome badges. Special badges abound inside as well, where you'll also find black leather and Alcantara upholstery and aluminum trim. There'll even be a dedicated one-day course offered to owners at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA, to further sweeten the deal.
BMW against Merkel's female board member quota in Germany
Fri, Nov 28 2014There may soon be more women in power positions in the world of German business under a proposed law from Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government. If passed, the law would force large, publicly traded corporations to have female members make up at least 30 percent of their supervisory boards (which are responsible in part for business strategy) by 2016. In addition, all companies would have to increase the female proportion on their management boards, which conduct regular business. The law seems likely to pass next month. "We've decided to do this and it will happen," said Merkel in a speech about the new rule, according to Bloomberg. Women currently have just six percent of management board seats in the country. Big businesses in the country aren't on board with proposed law, including automakers. "BMW as a company doesn't believe in quotas," said spokesperson Jochen Frey to Bloomberg. "While we hold that opinion, we want and strive for diversity in our workforce in terms of gender, ethnicity and age." Currently, 25 percent of Bimmer's supervisory board is female, a bit higher than the national average in Germany of 22 percent. German car companies are hardly alone when it comes to having a paucity of women in positions of power. Honda only added its first female member to the automaker's board of directors earlier this year, and Toyota and Nissan showed similarly low numbers. A 2013 list from Fortune ranked many of the most powerful women in the auto industry as coming from North America.
