1971 BMW 2002 - Beautiful Colorado Orange

This 1971 BMW 2002 spent most of it's life in California and has a salvage title. I bought it in San Diego and sent it straight to 2002AD in LA to be looked over. Record of repairs at 2002AD is available.

This car sat under a garage in LaJolla for many years with its hood up which caused the rust on the hood and the surface rust on inside of engine bay. It was hit in the right front fender in the early 80's and a new right front fender from BMW was installed. This is the reason for the salvage title, back then the car was worth very little so it was considered totaled.

There is some surface rust under the car, a few rust spots on the very bottoms of the fenders, and one rust spot above the windshield. No other damage is seen. Shock towers, rails, and floorboards are all solid

The car runs, drives, and shifts very well. Features a 4 Speed manual transmission. Very desirable Colorado orange exterior paint. Tires are new. There is no smoke on accel/deceleration and it runs cool with no overheating issues. Heat works, blower motor works. You can drive this car like it is, very dependable. Interior is excellent, the only dash I have ever seen on a 2002 with NO cracks! Seats are in fantastic condition.

This 2002 is for sale locally and the auction may be ended at any time.

Please contact me with any questions. Thanks!

VW Golf R pitted against BMW M235i in enthusiast's choice battle

Fri, 15 Aug 2014

Most people don't have two, open spots in their garage to fit a practical daily driver and a fire-breathing performance car for the weekends. That's what makes vehicles like the latest Volkswagen Golf R and BMW M235i just about perfect for the average person. Both of these Germans can lope around as a commuter 90 percent of the time and be perfectly comfortable. However, when you want to walk in the door with a big smile on your face, you can take the back roads home and get a real thrill from them.
In his latest short video, Chris Harris from Drive tests these surprisingly comparable German performance cars. Both of them offer buyers in the neighborhood of 300 horsepower, with the BMW winning out with 320 hp. However, the Golf R gets standard all-wheel drive, which is now an option on the M235i. Harris has quite positive things to say about these Europeans, but you're going to have to watch the video to hear just what he thinks.

BMW predicts US will be biggest i8 market

Sat, 10 Aug 2013

BMW will be showing a production version of its new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, and while we're quite excited about seeing the company's second i product in the flesh. According to a new report from Automotive News Europe, BMW is expecting its largest markets to be the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Notable for its absence in that list is everybody's favorite mega-market, China.
Automobilwoche, a German-language publication of Automotive News Europe, spoke with the i8's product manager, Hendrik Wenders, who declared, "The US will be by far the largest sales market for the i8." Wenders stops short of actual mentioning what percentage of i8 sales will be in the US, but does mention that it should arrive in showrooms around the world in about nine months. The simultaneous rollout will occur in 50 different countries.
Check back for our full coverage of the i8's debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until September, then check out our first drive of the i8 Prototype.

BMW planning Chinese recall for engine part issue [w/video]

Mon, 17 Mar 2014

After receiving an unspecified number of complaints in China, BMW has reportedly started a "full investigation" into what may be a defective part in its VANOS engine control system. BMW said via a Chinese blog that it would file a recall application with the the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine in China.
BMW has not yet announced how many vehicles will be recalled, or which models the potential recall might cover. We're also curious as to whether the VANOS issue could extend into markets outside of China.
We've placed a call with BMW in the United States, and will update this post as soon as we hear back. Stay tuned for more, and if you're curious about what VANOS is and how it works, scroll down below for a video animation.
