THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1976 BMW 2002a two-door sedan!
Finished in what appears to be ALL ORIGINAL Sahara tan paint over tan interior, this last-year of the venerable double '02 sports a good running 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engine with new Weber carb mated to a rare factory-equipped three speed AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION with stopping power provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. This near-forty-year-old classic E10 sports very nice E30 BBS mesh wheels with fair to good rubber, updated cd stereo, reclining bucket seats, factory tool kit, E30 325i spare tire/wheel, original red-tipped antenna and original owner's manual. The working five digit odometer shows 56,900 miles which is strongly believed to be just about 156,900 actual miles THOUGH I cannot verify this via Carfax or service history. This 1976 2002 is being sold with clean and clear California title, PLEASE NOTE: This 1976 BMW can ONLY be sold to a non-California resident/buyer due to aftermarket carb and missing original air cleaner and smog parts! This is a great find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating three series BMW sedan!

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS. ALSO PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS!

THE BODY AND TRIM
As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the exterior of this 1976 BMW is in quite presentable, very original unrestored "driver-quality" condition throughout with a nice shine to the paint. MOST IMPORTANT with these older BMWs is the "R" word.......RUST! Having owner dozens of these classic E10s, I can confidently say that this is absolutely one of the cleanest, driest, most original untouched rust-free examples I have seen in the last two decades. Is it 100% perfectly rust-free? Very close...99.99% with perfect shock towers front and rear, beautiful clean rocker panels, virgin body panels, There is only the beginning of surface corrosion in the spare tire well and some minute rock chipped spots where the weather has grazed the paint surface. Aesthetic imperfections on this car include some miscellaneous nicks, scratches, dimpling and wear to the exterior of this car. Overall a very nice driver-quality-example that will garner attention everywhere you drive!

THE INTERIOR
The interior of this 1976 BMW is in very good to excellent original condition throughout! It features beautiful seat upholstery front and rear, amazingly pristine original loop carpeting, mint uncut door panels, superb original headliner with working dome light, nice dash with two or three heat cracks, upgraded CD stereo with rear deck-mounted speakers, working speedometer, odometer, lights and blinkers, working crank windows and the groovy vent wing windows. Imperfections inside the car include inop blower motor and horn, some cracking and wear on the steering wheel, slight pulling away of the door panel bottom corners. Overall this is one very cool classic well-preserved cockpit!

THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This classic BMW starts, runs, shifts, brakes and handles very well. With its whopping 100 horsepower on tap it will certainly not keep up with a new 135i but has surprisingly peppy acceleration, solid secure braking, smooth up and downshifting automatic transmission, tight non-power assisted steering and crisp rattle-free suspension. NOTE: the engine is believed to be factory original. It runs fairly well and smooth though smokes a bit and is a bit tired but still quite usable. Driving this car with its responsive handling and open airy cockpit harkens back to why the 2002 was THE car that put BMW here on the map here in America four decades ago!

NHTSA gives okay for three automakers to skirt tire-related recalls

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

BMW, Honda, and Mercedes-Benz are all going to avoid small recalls, after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued petitions for "findings of inconsequential noncompliance" to the three manufacturers, according to Tire Business. Basically, the petitions allow the brands to avoid recalls for some very, very minor issues.
BMW had tire placards on 364 X6 M CUVs that stated the car could only handle four passengers, when in reality it had room for three in the back. Actual plausibility of fitting three real humans in the slope-roofed Bimmer aside, the Munich-based manufacturer argued it was inconsequential, as the placards were correct regardless of the number of passengers.
Honda's case focused on 212 2011 and 2012 Acura TSX sedans equipped with 18-inch wheels. The TPMS systems on these cars were set for 17-inch wheels, rather than the larger hoops, but even with the lower settings, the tires maintain adequate load capacity.

Lexus to use BMW 3.0-liter straight-six in next-gen IS sedan?

Thu, Feb 21 2019

Here's a rumor so wild it needs a U.S. Fish and Wildlife permit. Japan's Best Car magazine reports that the next-generation Lexus IS will offer BMW's B58 3.0-liter inline-six as one of four powertrain options. That's the same engine found in the new Toyota Supra with 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. What's more, the fourth-gen IS will resurrect the IS F model gone AWOL during the current third generation, and do it with the twin-turbo V6 from the Lexus LS 500. The current TTV6 makes the same 416 hp in the LS 500 as the 5.0-liter V8 did in the first Lexus IS F 12 years ago. According to the magazine, the other engine options would be Toyota's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 2.5-liter for a hybrid model, and a 2.4-liter turbo. We don't know where that last engine fits in. BMW doesn't make a 2.4-liter, and Toyota appears to have retired all of its 2.4-liter applications. Ignoring that, the 3.0-liter straight-six looks like it would replace the current 3.5-liter V6 rated at 311 hp and 280 lb-ft. This wouldn't be the first time the Supra's engine has been ported to the IS. Lexus mavens will remember that two years after the introduction of the original IS in 1998, Lexus put the Supra's 2JZ 3.0-liter straight-six engine in the IS 300 — without the turbochargers, thank you. But Best Car's prediction would have zero relation to history. Those were both Toyota engines back in 2000, and even ignoring the power differential, the IS didn't compete with the Supra. Putting BMW's 3.0-liter in the Z4 and the Supra works because they are the same car. And again, even ignoring the power differential, the more powerful Z4 doesn't compete with the Supra. Best Car's scenario has BMW selling one of its best engines for use in a direct competitor to the 3 Series. Lexus would need to design an engine bay long enough to swallow an inline-six, not a bread-and-butter engine for the brand, yet still be sensible for three more compact powerplants. Then, assuming BMW and Toyota made the same deal as with the Z4 and Supra, the Lexus would be down by a healthy double-digit horsepower margin on its German foe. The new Supra gives up 47 hp to the roadster. Where's the upside? It's said the trim sedan will stay about the same size, on a wheelbase roughly four centimeters longer, but lose a substantial chunk of weight.
