1972 Bmw 2002 Base Sedan 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Orange, Virginia, United States
|
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 previews new M6 GT3 racing prototype [UPDATE]
Sat, Feb 7 2015UPDATE: A previous version of this post specified the incorrect weight target for the M6 GT3. The text below has been updated with the correct information. BMW may not compete at the top level at Le Mans or in the World Rally Championship, it may have withdrawn from Formula One and shuttered the Formula BMW series, but it's not without its racing programs. Aside from the Minis that dominate the Dakar Rally, BMW fields the M4 in DTM, the M235i Racing in the BMW Sports Trophy and the Z4 in GT3 competitions around the world. But now it's preparing to launch a new GT3 racer based on the M6. Currently undergoing development, BMW has presented its new M6 GT3 prototype at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany. Based on the road-going M6 coupe, the GT3 retains its 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with dry-sump lubrication, producing over 500 horsepower – which is actually less than the road-going model you can buy, but has to be restricted to meet FIA certification. At less than 3,000 pounds, it is a fair bit lighter than the production version, and promises to deliver blistering performance figures to whichever privateer teams buy one to enter in racing series around the world. The M6 GT3 is slated to hit the circuits next year, when it will join the lineup alongside the M6 coupe, M6 convertible and M6 Gran Coupe, to say nothing of the M6 safety car used in MotoGP. In a related development, BMW Blog reports that the Bavarian automaker is probing potential interest in bringing the M235i Racing to North America. The entry-level model in the BMW Motorsports range, the M235i Racing sells in Europe for the equivalent of $68,000. The next milestone: the BMW M6 GT3 is rolled out at the BMW premises in Dingolfing. 05.02.2015 Munich (DE), 5th February 2015. BMW's new figurehead for the GT racing scene has been given its first run: last Saturday, the test track on the premises of the BMW factory in Dingolfing (DE) provided the stage for the roll-out of the BMW M6 GT3, with which BMW teams will compete in national and international series, as well as at iconic endurance races, from 2016 onwards. The car left the garage for the first time at precisely 14:00 with Jorg Muller (DE) at the wheel. This gave the BMW works driver the honour of creating the next milestone in the development of the BMW M6 GT3. "This is a big moment for everyone who has worked so intensely and passionately on the development of the BMW M6 GT3 in recent months," said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt.
TRANSLOGIC 147: CES 2014 Autonomous Vehicles
Wed, Jan 15 2014We head back to CES in Las Vegas to check on the progress of autonomous vehicles in 2014. We go hands-free on the highway with Audi, narrowly avoid a collision with Ford and hear all about BMW's drifting driverless car. But first we take a ride on Induct's self-driving Navia shuttle.
2014 BMW i3
Thu, 24 Oct 2013We can only imagine the challenges BMW is going to have explaining the i3 electric vehicle to the world. It's got a new powertain (all-electric, with optional range extender), a new production method (carbon fiber reinforced plastic!), a new brand (the 'i' line) and a new vehicle type (it's a city car). Despite everything that's different, BMW is still trying to talk about the i3 as if it fits in with the rest of the company's vehicles. But it doesn't. Not really. And that's going to make the marketing and salespeoples' jobs quite difficult.
Which is a shame, really, since the i3 is amazing. If it didn't carry the BMW 'heritage' baggage, people would be falling over each other to sing its praises. This is one of the smoothest, roomiest and slickest electric vehicles we've ever driven, with a lot of hidden surprises. It is a wonderful city car, and well designed for the car-sharing, emissions-aware drivers of the near future. But since the i3 carries the BMW name, everyone we ran into while cruising the narrow streets of and flat countryside around Amsterdam in a Euro-spec i3 recently wanted to know one thing: is it "a BMW" as well as being an electric car? During one photo shoot, a police car pulled up next to us, totally stopping traffic. While my co-driver and I instantly thought we were going to be asked to move, the officer simply wanted to know what the scoop was about all the i3s he had seen that day. Oh, and does it drive like a BMW?
We'll answer that question in detail below. The most important thing to remember is that the BMW i3 comes from the new "i" sub-brand within BMW. Like Mini, the i line really is a different beast, despite the roundel's presence. So, what makes a BMW a BMW? The answer is as easy as ABC. Or, in this case, as simple as Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works.
