          2 Owner California “Blue plate” car

 

I am listing this car for my brother and following is his write up.

 

  • Summary

 

I’ve decided to sell my 2002. I have owned this car for the past 18 years and it has been a great vehicle and a joy to own. I bought the car from the original owner here in southern California, where I live, so this is a two owner California car.

 

It has been well cared for, well serviced (as you can see below) and very reliable. I have made numerous repairs and tasteful upgrades and it has been slowly been restored while in my stewardship. It has been my weekend driver and occasionally driven to and from work, approximately 30 miles, for the past eighteen years, but it’s time for a new owner to enjoy this appreciating classic.

 

The rebuilt motor runs great and the mild 288 cam, Weber 38 DGES carburetor, 5-speed transmission and bigger brakes transforms the car from its original 1971 spec sheet. It looks good and drives and handles exceptionally well.

 

Keep in mind that this is a 43 year old vehicle and it is not being sold as a show car, nor is it priced as one. The Sahara Beige paint is the original color and it is in excellent condition and being a California car has no rust due to recent bodywork upgrades in February of this year.

 

To match the 320is Recaro seats, the rear seat, door panels, carpeting, and headliner have all been upgraded for consistency and match perfectly. They are all in very good condition. The dashboard does have some cracks and the door closure could use minor adjustments.  Lights, turn signals, etc. all work as they should.

 

To duplicate a project 2002 to this quality would be very costly in both time and money. So if you’re looking for a very nice 2002 that you can get in and confidently drive and enjoy today, this could be your car.

 

It attracts attention everywhere it goes and it seems that everyone has a question or a story to share about these great little cars. Someone is going to get and enjoy a great little 2002 Roundie!

 

All service records and receipts, from both owners, are available for review.

 

Car is located in Huntington Beach and local inspection can be arranged through Ebay email.

 

  • Shipping is at the expense of the purchaser.

 

  • Please do not ask the reserve or what I want for it, as this is an auction.

 

  • This car is also available to local buyers and may be sold at any time. I reserve the right to end the auction upon its sale.

BMW X4 tunes up its crossover game in Germany

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Except for the fancy wheels and the overly expressive fascias, the production version of the BMW X4 looks like it will carry over practically untouched from what we saw in the X4 Concept several months back. With the same fastback roofline as the concept, these spy shots show that the X4 is taking shape to be a baby version of the BMW X6.
Sharing the same platform as the X3, the lower and wider X4 will be positioned slightly more upmarket - as is the case with the X5 and X6. We hear that this could mean that the X4 will ditch the X3's base engine to give an even sportier feel right out of the gate, but word has it that an M version will being showing up down the road as well.
BMW has already revealed what it plans to show off at the Frankfurt Motor Show (i3, 4 Series Coupe, next-gen X5, refreshed 5 Series, X5 Concept eDrive plug-in hybrid and Concept Active Tourer Outdoor), so barring any surprised we definitely won't be seeing the X4 there. At this point, with as close to production as these images would have us believe, our best guess would be that we'll see the X4's official unveiling happen either at LA or Detroit.

BMW unveils 2016 X5 M and X6 M super CUVs

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

The second-generation BMW X5 M and X6 M have officially made their arrival for the speed-obsessed, crossover-loving masses that aren't willing to turn to Mercedes-AMG or Land Rover Special Operations.
While the new models retain their 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8s, power has increased from 555 horsepower to 567 ponies. Torque is up more significantly, climbing from 500 pound-feet to 553 pound-feet. The extra twist is slightly less accessible, with peak grunt arriving between 2,200 and 5,000 rpm, rather than the earlier model's 1,500 to 5,650. Still, we'll take the ten percent increase in torque as a net win.
The big powertrain switch sees the old X5/6 M's six-speed automatic replaced with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission from BMW M. This new gearbox feeds power to an xDrive all-wheel-drive system that can variably shuffle up to 100 percent of power to either axle. In conjunction with the force-induced thumper under the hood, this powertrain arrangement allows both M models to hit 60 miles per hour in just four seconds. That's a mightily impressive stat in a 5,000-plus-pound vehicle.

Watch this BMW take flight at Viru Rally

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

An E36 BMW 3 Series might be a good choice for a lot of purposes - a long road trip, a track day, rallycross, impressing your friends... but a full-on rally? It's rear-drive when the best rally machines are front- or all-wheel drive. But that didn't stop Pritt Koik and Alari-Uku Heldna from entering their stripped-out E36 in the Viru Rally in Estonia... or from getting some big air time when they did.
Fortunately the jump was not just caught on video... it was caught on video from three angles: two from the side of the rally stage and one from inside the cockpit. Check out all three below to see how this particular BMW got back into the aircraft business.
