NO SMOG REQUIRED!!! These round taillight BMW's are becoming harder and harder to find, especially non-modified. 1969 was always one of my favorite year cars for almost any brand, but especially BMW. This model has the flush turn signals, the motors were built without all the smog BS, has the small bumpers and they just always seemed to run stronger than the later motors. It does have a Weber Carburator and an aftermarket air cleaner. Battery has been relocated to trunk but other than that it is original. The interior front and back seats have been replaced with period correct seats. They are a blue instead of black that actually matches the cars Atlantik paint better. It has a nice patina on the re-spray with the factory color, it looks like it was re-sprayed a while back.
The title unfortunately is a Salvage Title. Where this normally might raise some questions or scare some people away, I could not find any major damage to this care. I have had it looked at by an independent BMW shop and put it on a lift to look for where the damage was. The frame looks unaffected. These cars did not hold value that much through the 90's and a simple fender bender would total it. I think the minor damage was below the front bumper. All has been professionally fixed to high standards. The motor is still the original numbers matching, please see pics. I would suggest you don't take my word for it but feel free to come view this car prior to purchase to ease any concerns regarding the Salvage Title. This will not affect you too much other than resale. If you are not planning on reselling and will be enjoying this beauty yourself, as long as you feel comfortable with the work then you are good to go. Any major damage would have affected sub frame and definitely not allowed the original motor to survive and still run strong. It runs and shifts though all the gears fine. Will need rear brakes soon, you can drive it home anywhere in LA or Orange County and feel comfortable. I am hoping whoever buys this keeps it original. Just rebuild the motor down the road and keep the mechanicals up. As you can see from the pictures everything is there. Badges, trim, hub caps, dash only has one small crack on lower portion, original steering wheel, just a cool example of how these came off the factory floor in Germany in the late sixties. Will qualify for a Black Plate but I do not have original. This belonged to a Published Author and I had intentions of restoring myself but two other projects got in the way and parking it is getting to be a problem.
I have set a very low reserve so please bid with confidence. I have the title in hand. I think it is very reasonable considering the circumstances. This will be a fun project for somebody. Restored bone stock 2002's are going north of $20,000 now and are getting more respect and comments than the modified 2002's which have been done to death with almost every mod thinkable. It is nice to see these untouched still. Has surface rust in areas, all the shock towers and all that are in good shape, just the underside where the spare was is pretty much gone. True milage is unknown, it shows around 80,000. It could be original, doubt it, could be 180,000+ or 280,000+. Either way you have the original block that is still driving to this day, so please rebuild this original motor when you decide to do something like that and DO NOT OPT for a SWAP.

BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner
Tue, 12 Aug 2014One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.

Wagons make a bit of a comeback, with new models, sales on the rise
Thu, Jan 10 2019Consider this an official invitation to hop on the wagon bandwagon. There's still tons of room because, well, it's a wagon (and market share is still extremely small). But according to new data, the segment is growing. According to a report from Bloomberg, using data from Edmunds.com, roughly 211,600 Americans purchased wagons in 2018. That is technically down from the 237,600 sold in 2017, but wagon sales in the U.S. are up 29 percent from where they were five years ago. It's also the third year in a row that wagon sales broke the 200,000 mark. The sales trends have been somewhat representative of the availability of wagons. New models have debuted during the past 5 years and therefore offer more opportunity at more brands to buy wagons. In addition to more modest cars such as the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen, several luxury and performance brands are offering wagons today, such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Jaguar, Volvo and Buick. (Bloomberg's headlines make the point that "crossovers are for the Kardashians," and wagons are just, well, classier.) This uptick in brand-name availability, as well as extremely well-executed design on most of the wagons currently available, has helped increase the segment's desirability. That, and its ability to better accomplish the same tasks at hand while standing out from the crossover and SUV crowd. Still, the posted numbers represent a small fraction of the total vehicles sold. According to the data, wagons only held a 1.4 percent market share in 2017, the segment's best recent year. Wagons hold a steadfast place in America's past, and they're writing an interesting new story. With the downturn in traditional cars, they may continue to create an unexpected narrative.

BMW increases i3 price by $1,075 for 2015
Thu, Jan 29 2015The BMW i3 did well in its first year on the market, selling 6,02 units in the US and 16,052 units worldwide. For 2015, it gets total price increase of $1,075, partially reflecting new standard equipment that was formerly an option and a bump in its destination cost. The 2014 starting price of $41,350 becomes $42,400 for 2015, an extra $1,050, and the destination increase of $25 to $950 makes the out-the-door price $43,350. The range-extended model goes up by the same amount, from $45,200 last year to $46,250 this year. After destination, it's $47,200 out the door. For 2015, DC Fast Charging is included, no longer a $700 option, thanks to the expansion of the fast-charging network through a collaboration between BMW, Volkswagen and Chargepoint. Beyond that, satellite radio and heated seats migrate to the standard features list. We have a feeling none of this will hurt the plug-in car's sales momentum this year.
