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 Shanghai: Driving in mega cities, designing the future and more

Thu, 25 Apr 2013

The BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.
A few days before the Shanghai Motor Show kicked off, we were part of an international group of media that was invited to have a look at the BMW Designworks Shanghai Studio and ConnectedDrive Lab facility. The building that BMW found to house its Chinese think tank is in a lovely part of Shanghai known as the former French Concession. The late 1890s and early 1900s French architectural style, brick-paved streets and tree-lined spaces feel a world apart from the ultra-modern heart of Shanghai, and the BMW enclave is a suitable mix of high-tech and throwback cool.

European car sales up 8% in February

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

Three weeks ago an analyst increased projections for European car sales this year, expecting them to climb three percent compared to last year instead of 2.7 percent. That number is a postive sign after years of hard times but it turns out February was especially good, overall European sales climbing eight percent on a wave of southern European recovery and discounts - and this comes after five months of gains including January's 7.2-percent jump over the year before.
The only country of Europe's five largest markets to post a decline was France, just as it did in January, Germany, the UK and Italy posting solid double-digit numbers, Spain rocking the charts with an 18-percent increase because of a government program to encourage trade-ins.
The only brand to miss the wave was Volkswagen, dropping 0.8 percent as it watched the double-digit growth at sister brands Audi, Seat and Skoda lift the Volkswagen Group sales up by seven-percent. Peugeot overcame flat sales at Citroën to improve the group by 3.5 percent, BMW and the Mercedes-Benz/Smart combo rose by four percent, the Fiat group jumped 5.8 percent, Ford was up 11 percent, the Renault Group 11.5 percent, General Motors 12 percent and the Toyota clan by 14 percent.

Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards honors GM Super Cruise, BMW i3

Wed, 16 Oct 2013

Our friends at Popular Mechanics have announced the winners of their 2013 Breakthrough Awards, which honor innovations and new technologies in a variety of fields, ranging from medicine to electronics to space travel. Among the winners were a pair of automakers.
The BMW i3 was named one of PM's product breakthroughs, and while the diminutive city car has a range comparable to other electrics, Popular Mechanics was impressed the i3's use of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, which allows the i3 to tip the scales at just 2,800 pounds. But the i3's space-age materials wouldn't have been such a smash if it were priced beyond what the general public could afford. BMW's ability to offer a vehicle with such an advanced construction for around $42,000 (nearly half the price of the Cadillac ELR and only about $7,000 more than a Chevrolet Volt or Ford Focus Electric) is wildly impressive and speaks volumes about the future of ultra-light composites in the auto industry.
The other big winner comes from General Motors, which was named an Innovator this year for its semi-autonomous Super Cruise technology that's currently being tested on a Cadillac SRX. The technology, which we've reported on before, combines adaptive cruise control and lane centering into a super system that will allow hands-free driving under certain conditions.
