 This is a 1972 BMW 2002 in it's original "Nevada" color with a 4spd manual transmission and sunroof. The car is in GREAT shape with VERY little rust - in fact just one spot in spare wheel well. The car was originally purchased in California which explains the "dryness" of this 2002. I have literally a pile of receipts documenting its "life" in Southern California. (Also have the original California Blue Plate.)

I purchased the car from an older gentleman who spent more time hoarding cars than driving them. It needed a partial restoration to bring it to it's current state. Any and all original parts removed for replacement have been saved and will transfer with the car. The body is incredibly dry and required very little real work - the sills, front and rear shock towers, door bottoms, all glass frames, inner fenders, front and rear pans, all floor boards, frame rails, sub frame mounts, truck floor(except one spot in spare well), roof, and all quarter panels are rust FREE! As in ZERO, NONE, NUNCA, NICHT! I did remove the rear reflectors and welded the holes. You will find NO BONDO "filling" anything on this car! I wanted to give it a slight "old school rally look" with the CIBIE Oscar lamps and hood latches as well as "euro" flat front turn signals. (I have the original hood latch mechanism.) The wheels are brand new E30 steels wheel with new 195/60/14 rubber.(I have the original wheels and tires w/chrome BMW caps in great condition that goes with the car.) I added a MOMO Indy Steering Wheel to finish off the original interior. There is only one crack on an otherwise flawless dash! The door cards had been cut for speakers so I added new speakers as the old ones were ugly and shot. (I did not hook the stereo back up but it's all there and could be done in 15 miutes.) It really is a pretty car and turns heads wherever it goes. I have owned 6 - 2002's and this is the driest and best looking one I have had. Nevada has always been one of my favorite BMW colors of all time - I like Inka and Golf as well. :)

Now, for the "needs. The paint is the ONLY "not-so-wonderful" part of this car. It has some "rough" spots in it that could be fixed if so inclined. I color sanded and buffed it so it shines like crazy. I would call this a "5 foot paint job". You could "spot paint" to fix the spots without re-spraying the whole car.  The heater fan works when it feels like it. The headliner is hole and rip-free but it is dirty - I'm still in process of cleaning it. The front seats do have some splits in bottom cushions but I have some sheepskin covers that go with the car that could use. (I wanted to re-do the seats in a complimentary plaid color which would look incredible!)

If you want a classy-as-hell round taillight 2002 for a cars and coffee machine, classic tourer, or just head turner then this is good to go right now as she sits! If you want an over-the-top restoration this would be a great start.

BMW adds new entry-level 320i model, priced from $33,445*

Mon, 14 Jan 2013

Fans of the new BMW 3 Series here in the US have likely been waiting for one of two models to arrive: the new M3 or the diesel-powered 335d. Well... keep waiting just a little bit longer. Here at the Detroit Auto Show, BMW is showing off the new entry-level 320i that will join the 3 Series lineup this spring, and rather than bringing added performance or efficiency, this car is boasting affordability above all. The 320i has been on sale in other markets since the current-generation 3 Series was introduced, but it goes on sale in the US with a starting price of $33,445 (*)including $895 for destination, which is $3,405 less than the current starting price of BMW's well-liked sedan.
In other countries, the 320i uses either a 1.5- or a 2.0-liter inline-four (both turbocharged), and the US version of the car will be getting the latter engine producing 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. For comparison, the current 328i, which uses this same engine, produces 240 hp and 255 lb-ft of torque. As expected, performance of the 320i will suffer with BMW estimating a 0-60 mile-per-hour time of 7.1 seconds, but it still has the same 130 mph top speed as the 328i. Oddly enough, despite the lower output, BMW's expected fuel economy for the 320i equipped with rear-wheel-drive and the eight-speed automatic transmission actually matches that of the current 328i with 23 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, and those numbers are actually lower than the 328i with the manual gearbox.
It sounds like most of the usual 3 Series options will be available on the budget-minded 320i, including the choice of xDrive all-wheel drive, BMW Assist and numerous packages including a Sport pack and Premium pack. For a lot more information on the 320i, most of it general information on the F30 3 Series, scroll down for BMW's press release.

BMW recalls 6,073 units of i3 and Minis to replace airbag

Tue, Oct 20 2015

BMW is replacing the passenger's side front airbag module on 6,073 vehicles in the US because of a supplier's manufacturing issue with the part. The affected models include the: 2014-2015 i3; 2014-2016 Mini Hardtop 2 Door Cooper and Cooper S; 2015-2016 Hardtop 2 Door John Cooper Works; and 2015-2016 Hardtop 4 Door Cooper and Cooper S. Because the airbag components aren't made correctly, they might not deploy with enough restraint in a low-speed collision. BMW isn't aware of any accidents or injuries from the problem, but this is still obviously a safety concern. According to company spokesperson David Buchko to Autoblog, customers will be notified about the issue by mail in November. As always, dealers will perform the replacements at no cost to owners. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Passenger Frontal Air Bag May not Deploy Properly Report Receipt Date: OCT 07, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V628000 Component(s): AIR BAGS Potential Number of Units Affected: 6,073 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) BMW I3 2014-2015 MINI COOPER 2014-2016 MINI COOPER S 2014-2016 MINI JOHN COOPER WORKS 2015-2016 Details Manufacturer: BMW of North America, LLC SUMMARY: BMW of North America, LLC (BMW) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper two-door vehicles, 2015-2016 MINI John Cooper Works and MINI Cooper S and MINI Cooper four-door vehicles and 2014-2015 BMW i3 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the passenger frontal air bag may not deploy properly in a low speed crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection." CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a vehicle crash, an air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury to the front seat passenger. REMEDY: MINI and BMW will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag module, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on November 20, 2015. Owners may contact MINI customer service at 1-866-825-1525 and BMW customer service at 1-800-525-7417. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. BMW Statement: BMW has informed NHTSA of its intention to voluntarily recall approximately 923 BMW i3 vehicles to replace the passenger-side front airbag module.

Check out 90 years of BMW Motorrad in 90 seconds

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

After ninety years in business and first-to-market motorcycle innovations like the one-piece 'tunnel' crankcase, hydraulically dampened front forks and full fairings, as well as that trademark boxer engine, BMW Motorrad is celebrating its nonagenarian status with a video: You can follow the ride on BMW motorcycles from 1923 to now in just 90 seconds.
Okay, so there's more than a video - some anniversary-themed bikes and a new retro boxer model celebrating the R 32 "airhead' from 1923 also commemorate the occasion. But you can start with the video, and that's below.
