1970 BMW 2002 M2 Coupling the handling and low weight of the 2002 with the high revving S14 power plant from the legendary E30 M3, the "M2" is the enthusiast's dream car! I have been driving and sorting this car out for the last few months and feel it is a particularly nice example. It is an absolute blast to drive! The car is a 1970 base model 2002 that has been heavily modified to compliment the upgraded power plant. The engine comes from a 1990 E30 M3 with 88k miles on it at the time of the install. It has been driven ~600 miles since completion. It handles like a go kart and is ready for your favorite canyon, track day, autox, or just driving to the coffee shop in style! Engine and Exhaust: 2.3L S14 from 1990 E30 M3 (88k miles at time of install) Turner Motorsports Chip EVO Exhaust Cam Gear Oil Windage Tray Remote Oil Filter Earl's Oil Cooler with Braided Lines MSD Ignition with Magnecore Wires Curt Ingraham Custom Radiator and Overflow Tank Custom 2.5" Full Stainless Steel exhaust with Sebring Resonator and Muffler Transmission and Driveline: Getrag 245/10 Close Ratio (Dogleg) 5 Speed Transmission Short Shift Kit Sachs Heavy Duty Clutch JB Racing 8 lb.

I have the new gears to fix it and will include them. There are some very minor cracks in the dash, which could easily be filled Hazard switch is worn and only works intermittently (turn signals work just fine) Aftermarket steering wheel horn button is not wired up (I have and will include the aftermarket plunger to make it work) There is some very minor oil seepage from a couple seals on the engine. It wasn't bad enough to cause me to want to fix it, but I wanted to point it out. Stereo install is not complete and the head unit still needs to be wired up It has limited sound deadening and the exhaust is loud. It would be easy to add more if you want more daily driver and less hot rod. Tires are really made for autox or track days and should probably be replaced to minimize wear during daily street driving Every time you drive people will wave to you and want to talk about your car. I have done my best to document all of its features and anything I feel still needs to be addressed, but feel free to contact me with questions. To the best of my knowledge and ability to inspect the car (I have spent quite a bit of time underneath it!) it is 100% rust free. I have all of the documentation for this car including that of the previous owner for a full history.

BMW shuffles chairs in its design department
Sun, 22 Sep 2013BMW Group has made some changes to its design team since August 1, and has shuffled top personnel to different positions at BMW Design, Mini Design and Rolls-Royce.
The BMW Design team led by Karim Habib (middle, right) gains a new head of Exterior Design in Domagoj Dukec (right), who has worked for the exterior design team since 2010 and shaped the Concept Active Tourer.
Oliver Heilmer (left), who has worked for BMW's interior design unit since 2000 and designed the 5 Series interior, replaces Marc Girard as head of Interior Design BMW Automobiles. Marc Girard goes to manage BMW's subsidiary design group, BMW DesignworksUSA.
2015 BMW X4 slides in on the diagonal starting at $45,625 in the US
Wed, 05 Mar 2014If BMW has shown us anything, it's a knack for creating niches and expanding its product portfolio. Go back to the early '90s and it had essentially four models: the 3 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series. End of list. Since then, the Bavarian automaker has not only taken on Mini and Rolls-Royce, but has expanded its own range of models exponentially. You can chalk a big part of that up to crossovers, and another sizable chunk to giving existing models a different roofline and calling it something new. What we have here is a prime example of both.
Previewed in concept form the better part of a year ago at the Shanghai Motor Show, the slantback version of the X3 (and the baby brother to the X6) is now here in full production guise. Mechanically it's essentially the same as the new X3 on which it's based, but amps up the "sport" at the expense of the "utility" part of the SUV equation.
BMW will undoubtedly offer a wide range of powertrain configurations in markets around the world, but back in the United States it'll be offered in two specs: the X4 xDrive28i, packing a 2.0-liter inline-four with 240 horsepower and a $45,625 sticker price (including destination), or the X4 xDrive35i with the 300hp 3.0-liter six and a $48,925 MSRP. Either way, you're getting an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive.
Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers
Sun, Mar 29 2015As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.
