Hello, I have a seemingly all original 1969 BMW 2002 with 48179 miles. I bought it from a friend who desperately needed the money, and in order that I might in turn sell it for him.

I'm not really into BMW, I've never owned one, so ask your questions accordingly. I will of course try to be as descriptive as possible and post good photos, and it is possible to ask questions of the original owner through me. Also, I am told the mileage is proper and original at 48,179 but since it's five digits I have no way to verify it wasn't rolled over.

Here is what I am aware of that the car needs:

Brake work, some wheel cylinders have been replaced, but it does need a brake line, (included).

It appears to warrant a complete going through under the hood tuneup wise. I presume it hasn't been on the road for around 13 years since last registration expired in 2001. Car was in storage. This BMW does run and drive and has low miles. Other than that I have no extensive history. We put some non ethanol gas in it, drove it onto a trailer, and brought it home, that's about it, Only drove it a few hundred feet in total perhaps in my driveway since the brakes weren't pressurized. This means that this car has likely never seen ethanol.

All in all, you'll see the rockers could use some attention, structurally however, this car is very meaty. Heavier thicknesses than typical by today's body standards were used. This little piece of history is quite salvageable in my opinion.

I also have a box full of extra items for the car, including the original trailer hitch that was produced as original equipment for this car. I noticed an extra alternator, extra taillights, and a lot of misc items.

Bid in confidence, I've been on ebay for over 13 years, never a negative, and I used to be quite an active buyer and seller. At any rate, this car isn't a show stopper in it's current shape, but well worth a full restoration for the right collector who wants to oversee the restoration their own way, or for someone who just wants a really cool and rare car. Bid accordingly, and you are buying the car as is of course. There's also no title with something this old. The serial number doesn't have standard 17 like a vin, alternatively there is a signed over registration to transfer ownership, typical of the year I understand, and at least in NY it's no problem.

Car is for sale locally so the right to end early and cancel the auction is reserved.

Anyone wanting additional photos please contact me, i'd be glad to even take a video of the car running etc. Also of note is that floor pans and such are in very solid shape, as is the trunk. I can also be reached via phone, at 585-310-1803 with any questions.

On Jul-10-14 at 08:28:37 PDT, seller added the following information:

I neglected to mention that I do have all four original hubcaps. Some are in good shape, some are dinged up a little, decent overall.

BMW joins the mirrorless car club at CES

Tue, Jan 5 2016

Another item the future promised us is finally arriving: cameras for rearview mirrors. It's coming on the Cadillac CT6, Audi played around with the idea in its Le Mans racers, and Tesla has plans to get in on the action. And now add BMW to that list with the i8 Mirrorless concept revealed at the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. In BMW's scheme, three cameras replace the mirrors. One big adjustment from years of automotive convention is the lack of any side glances for the driver. A display in place of the conventional rearview mirror shows a composite wide-angle image. Imminent hazards, such as a vehicle in the blind spot, are shown with yellow warning icons. Previous mirrorless designs have mounted cameras flush with the body, but the i8 Mirrorless uses wing-like side cameras. They also serve as turn signal indicators. We assume that the narrow profile is more aerodynamic than the housing for a large piece of reflective glass. Also in BMW's CES bag of tricks is the BMW i3 Extended Rearview Mirror. This uses a rear-facing, roof-mounted camera that overlays images on the conventional interior mirror. But we do have some questions – what happens when the cameras get dirty? Mirrors still work even when partially obscured by dirt. And when will these ideas see production? Stay tuned as we'll follow up with answers from BMW's booth on the CES show floor soon.

Karma Automotive partners with BMW for powertrains

Thu, Nov 12 2015

Now in the process of rising from the ashes of Fisker, the newly renamed Karma Automotive has announced a powertrain supply deal with BMW. Only instead of Karma providing BMW with technologies (as Tesla has for Daimler and Toyota), this deal goes the other way around. It is BMW that will be providing Karma with its powertrain components moving forward. Little in the way of specifics was disclosed regarding precisely what the supply deal will entail. However according to the statement below, it will include "high voltage battery charging systems and a wide range of hybrid and EV systems." BMW has demonstrated its competence in developing and manufacturing such components with vehicles like the i3 and i8, and ActiveHybrid versions of the 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series sedans. Karma Automotive is what Chinese component manufacturer Wanxiang renamed the company formerly known as Fisker Automotive once it acquired the rights to the company and the Fisker Karma which it previously produced. The brand name, however, remained the property of Henrik Fisker's coachbuilding operation. The original Fisker Karma was powered by a 2.0-liter turbo four supplied by General Motors, with a lithium-ion battery pack from A123 systems. Karma Automotive Signs Supply Agreement With BMW COSTA MESA, Calif., Nov. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Karma Automotive announced today that BMW has agreed to be a supplier in ensuring their vehicles are built with the highest quality automotive parts. BMW will supply Karma Automotive with their latest powertrain components, including high voltage battery charging systems and a wide range of hybrid and EV systems. Throughout automotive history, BMW has been globally recognized for engineering and manufacturing world-class products. They are a proven technology leader and renowned for conceiving and delivering groundbreaking innovations. Karma Automotive will integrate the first BMW components into its plug-in hybrid flagship vehicle, which will re-launch in 2016. The next generation of vehicles already in development will utilize more of BMW's powertrain technology. "The Wanxiang Group is giving Karma Automotive the opportunity to bring a stunning car back to the market, and the partnership with BMW and their outstanding track record is a great fit for the future," said Karma's CEO Tom Corcoran.

BMW gearing up for Sochi Olympics with bobsled documentary [w/video]

Fri, Jan 3 2014

BMW might be a German brand, but that isn't keeping its US branch from helping out Team USA as the 22nd Winter Olympics gets set to kick off in Sochi, Russia next month. We last reported on BMW's partnership with Team USA's bobsled team in November of 2012, but with barely a month until the opening ceremony, it's about time we hear something new about the team's progress. And that's exactly what's going to happen when Driving on Ice airs this Sunday afternoon. The documentary charts the progress of the Team USA/BMW partnership to redesign the team's two-man bobsled for an event in which the USA hasn't captured gold in since 1936. And if you're concerned that this will be nothing more than a long advertisement for BMW, then you'll enjoy knowing that the program has more to do with the Team USA bobsledders than with the automaker. Even the trailer stars a number of team members and coaches, along with BMW DesignWorks USA's Michael Scully, lead designer on the program. There's a short preview embedded below, so if you just can't wait for next month's Olympics to kick off, you'll want to tune into NBC at 12:30 pm (Eastern time). Scroll down to watch the video preview and check out the full press release from BMW. BMW Slides into 2014 Winter Olympic Year with Announcement of U.S. Olympic Marketing Campaign, Bobsled Documentary. "Driving on Ice," a Film About BMW's Redesign of the Team USA Two-man Bobsled, to Air This Sunday on NBC. Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 3, 2013... BMW of North America, the Official Mobility Partner of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), today announced its U.S. Olympic marketing campaign for the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games which includes a series of Olympic-themed advertisments, consumer and retail activations, social and digital media executions, and a national drive campaign to benefit Team USA. In addition, a documentary on BMW's complete redesign of the U.S. two-man bobsled entitled "Driving on Ice" will air this Sunday, Jan. 5 at 12:30 p.m. EST/11:30 a.m. CST on NBC. "Driving on Ice" chronicles BMW's collaboration with the USA Bobsled & Skeleton Federation (USBSF) to deliver a fleet of six new two-man bobsleds, applying the automaker's world-class design and engineering expertise to help Team USA chase its first Olympic gold medal in the event since 1936.
