 I am selling my project because I simply don't have the space and time. I specifically purchased both of these vehicles to tailor a very cool car, one car is in mechanically good shape with thousands of dollars invested in the mechanics; about $4,000 in 2001 and an additional $1,700 in 2012. I have a video of the 1968 running on youtube which I am working on making visible. The vehicle has some rare parts including the rare shorty bumper and Euro lights and just those two parts would sell for close to $2,000 alone. The 1974 runs and is an automatic with a straight body and I was going to transfer the engine into the 1974 along with the exterior parts and make it a roundie. The 1974 has bilstin shocks and a nice interior. My intention which can be done by the purchaser is to finance the project by selling the parts you don't need such as the interior, dash, metal and so on. The 1974 will need its driver side base boards replaced but I have a contact in Colorado who has a complete undercarriage ready to sell for $500 that will fit the car. The 1974 apparently has less than 67,000 original miles but the undercarriage I would replace with the contact in Colorado who can take car of you. I have also found a rear roundie metal if you want to convert the 74 to make a roundie. The smart thing about this purchase is you can tailor the car you want and sell off the parts you don't need and it will turn into a rather inexpensive project because the parts are worth quite a bit, the automatic transmission for example would sell for $300 and the bumpers would sell for an additional $300 so you can see how the project can self fund itself and you could even purchase both cars to simply make a profit by parting them out and making a considerable amount more that the reserve price. The shipping will also be cheaper as you can get a great discount and getting both vehicles shipped which should cost you about $300-$400.

A few things to note: do not ask if I will sell one of the vehicles or ask if I am interested in selling a part. Also, please don't ask the reserve price.  I am only interested in selling both vehicles at once to one party. My reserve price is very reasonable and I could make quite a bit more if I had the time and space available. The 68 runs very well and would look great if the cover was replaced for about $70 but other than that the motor runs well and so does the transmission on both cars. The wheels on the 1974 are very sharp and would look great if they are cleaned up a bit and the headliner and interior is in pretty good shape. I don't really need to explain what you can do and how much money you can make if you are the type of buyer who would buy these cars, you already know what you have in mind but feel free to give me any questions.

Thanks and good luck

 In addition, the 68 has a trunk full of parts. I am going to throw in likely several hundred dollars worth of parts. I have new belts, rubberized stripping for the doors, brand new set of spark plugs, I have shocks, I even have some parts that are still in plastic, brand new blue coil from a MSD Package...I have owned several 2002 's and one had performance parts so they are not related but I have some Dual Spark Package Parts. Performance Spark Plug Wire Set, Extra Distributor, Brand New Battery, Brand New Battery Harness, there are extra moldings (you can see how the 68 does not have the metal strap but most of it is in the trunk and there are parts missing on the 74 but there should be more than enough to work with. The tires are also in pretty good shape. There are 6 X 9 speakers, an amp, the AC Unit has shocked lots of people. I have been told it can be easily fixed (however I did not look into it). Whoever buys this is probably going to feel like I am a fool but honestly, I don't care, I just don't have the time, I am running a business right now and I just don't have he time to deal with all this stuff but I would not be surprised if you could milk $15,000 + out of this. The AC Central Console is in good shape and sturdy which is important if you are going to work with it to put some gauges in there. Even the dash on the 74 isn't so bad, its actually in pretty good shape and has the standard one crack and a hairline crack. The 68 interior itself, if restored could be sold for a considerable amount of money. That 68 is a gold mine if you know what you are doing simply because people looking for 68 original parts are going to be after them and my whole plan was to restore as many of those parts and sell them to finance the project. The speedometer is fine in the 74 but it is not working in the 68 but the other gauges are working and the lights are fine. I am trying to think of as much stuff as I can. I am still trying to get the Youtube Video of me driving around the 68 so you can hear the engine and the car shifting. As soon as I can figure out how to get the video from my phone to youtube I will post it.

Alpina bringing new B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to Geneva

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

Interested in picking up a new BMW 4 Series with a turbo six? You've got options: you can get the 435i with 300 horsepower or spring for the M4 with 425 hp. But if it's the convertible model you want, we're afraid you'll be limited to the latter as the M division can't help you (at least not for the time being). But that's where Alpina comes in.
The aftermarket tuner closely associated with BMW offers the B4 Bi-Turbo (at least in Europe) with that same 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six massaged up to 410 horsepower that starts to pose a threat to the M4. What's more is that the Alpina's 442 pound-feet of torque eclipses the M4's 406 lb-ft, to say nothing of the 435i's 300.
Best of all, Alpina just confirmed via Facebook that it'll offer the B4 in convertible form, bringing the resulting BMW Alpina B4 Bi-Turbo Cabrio to the Geneva Motor Show. We'd expect the weight penalty to knock it slightly off the coupe's quoted 4.1-second 0-60 time, but not by much. If only BMW were to bring this one Stateside like it does with the B7 sedan.

NHTSA expands new Takata probe to 4 more automakers

Thu, Dec 19 2019

DETROIT — The U.S. government's highway safety agency has launched an investigation into four additional automakers that have a potentially deadly type of Takata air bag inflator in their vehicles but have yet to recall them. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in documents posted Thursday that it is investigating Audi, Toyota, Honda and Mitsubishi in connection with a Takata recall involving 1.4 million inflators. This brings the total number of manufacturers potentially impacted to five, as BMW was connected to the issue when it was brought to light earlier in December. The inflators made by the now-bankrupt Takata have a distinct and separate problem that can cause them to blow apart a metal canister and spew shrapnel into people's faces and bodies. The problem killed a driver in Australia who was in an older 3-Series BMW, which has already recalled more than 116,000 vehicles. The problem is so dangerous that in some cases BMW has told drivers to park their vehicles until repairs can be made. The safety agency says in documents that Takata didn't provide details on the affected makes, models or model years of vehicles with the defective inflators. So it is telling the companies to recall them promptly. The agency says that based on when the faulty inflators were produced, it's likely that the vehicles to be recalled came from the 1995 through 2000 model years. In letters to all four automakers, NHTSA says they have five business days to notify the agency after finding out about a safety defect. “If your company has not yet gathered enough evidence to make a determination that the subject air bag inflators present an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety, reply with a detailed work plan including the benchmark dates required to make the determination,” the agency wrote in letters to all four automakers dated Wednesday. A Honda spokesman said Thursday it hasn't determined yet whether its vehicles are affected, but a decision should be made soon. Audi, Mitsubishi and Toyota said they are still investigating. NHTSA has told the companies to respond by Jan. 17. On Dec. 4, NHTSA posted documents from Takata and BMW detailing the problems. The documents said the Australian driver was killed, while another Australian driver and a driver in Cyprus were injured. Unlike previous recalls, the Takata non-azide inflators do not use volatile ammonium nitrate to fill the air bags in a crash.
