1971 BMW 2002 – The original “Sports Coupe”

          Sahara / Black

          2 liter 4 cylinder (M10)

          320is 5-speed conversion

320is Recaro Seats

          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.

2014 BMW X5 configurator goes live

Sun, 28 Jul 2013

BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies.
Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that load up extras automatically. There's also a do-it-yourself truck that allows owners to pick and choose if they're not enamored with the styling or trim of one of the dedicated packages. As usual, the options list is quite vast, regardless of which line is chosen. We were able to easily take the new, rear-drive X5 sDrive35i, which started at $52,800, and bring the total price up past $80,000.
The new X5 carries over its 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 from the current model, as well as BMW's excellent 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six. The X5 xDrive35d, with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will also be available on the third-generation SUV, but won't hit dealers until early 2014. BMW is stepping outside of the X5's usual bounds, offering a dedicated rear-drive model, available with all the same trimmings as the xDrive vehicles. Head over to BMW's US consumer page and have a go.

BMW X4 M40i caught production-ready

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

It seems like BMW is pretty committed to this whole X4 thing. Aside from the current xDrive28i and xDrive35i, we've captured a round of spy photos showing what our spy shooters tell us is a more dynamic M40i model.
The higher-performance hunchback follows in the footsteps of BMW's other sub-M cars like the M235i. In fact, much like the high-po 2 Series, the M40i is expected to make use of a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, developing 365 to 375 horsepower.
Aside from that, the rest of the X4 M40i fits the brief of other near-M models, with a more aggressive body kit, larger wheels, firmer suspension and brawnier brakes. Expect some mild tweaks inside, too, including sportier seats and an M-specific steering wheel.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
