You are bidding on a driver quality restored black on black 1972 BMW 2002.  I purchased this car in May of 2012 in Hillsboro OR and have spent the last two years having it professionally restored. 

I am the third owner of this car.  The original owner handed it down to his nephew and I purchased it from that nephew.  The car had been stored in the family barn since the late 90’s before I purchased it.  So I guess technically it’s a barn find.  Since the car had been in storage for the past 12+ years the body was in really great shape with no rust in any of the usual 2002 problem areas, shock towers, floor pans, spare tire well, running boards etc.  All are really solid.  I’ve included some before and after pictures of some of the common problem areas before they were cleaned and re coated with fresh undercoating to keep them protected.

The cars original color was malanga but it was repainted to (schwartz) black back sometime in the 80’s.  During the 2 year restoration I had the car taken down to bare metal and re painted this same black.  The interior of the car has been reupholstered in black vinyl including front/rear seats and door panels front/rear.  The door panels were replaced with Aardvark racing wooden panels before they were reupholstered.  As far as I can tell the carpet is original.  If so it’s in incredible shape.

Beyond the restoration the following upgrades have been performed:  BMW OEM BBS wheels, BMW OEM Sport Recaro seats, New Weber 32/26 carburetor, flush European turn signals and Hella driving lights.

Here is a high level overview of the work performed during the restoration, detailed work below.

Bare metal repaint in Fall 2013
Complete engine rebuild Spring 2013
Complete interior reupholster Fall 2013
Brake system rebuild Spring 2013
Suspension rebuild Spring 2013
Blower rebuild Spring 2014

All receipts for this work will go with the car.

The car runs well and the engine pulls strong.  It handles well and stops just as well.  After all the mechanical work I would expect nothing less.  Paint is a 9/10, interior 9/10, mechanical 9/10, chrome 8/10 (some of the chrome, drip rail, window trim has a few scratches), engine bay 7/10 (mechanically sound just could use detailing).

The engine has approximately 1000 miles on the rebuild.  The engine rebuild included the following:

New pistons
New head
New valves
New springs
New spark plugs
New spark plug wires
New belts
New Engine mounts
New weber 32/26 carburetor
New heat shield
All gaskets replaced

While the engine was out the following was done:

New transmission mounts
Service the transmission
Service the rear diff
Rebuilt the alternator
New water pump
New 320i radiator and hoses
New thermostat

The brakes were professionally rebuilt including:

New brake hoses at all four corners
Replaced brake master cylinder
Replaced rear wheel cylinders
New brake light switch

The front suspension was professionally rebuilt including:

New front control arms.
New front subframe bushings
New front strut mounts
New tie rods
New strut inserts
New Bilstein shocks
The original Bilsteins in the rear were in good shape and thus not replaced

The previous owner had performed the following work before I purchased the car:

New steering guibo
New clutch
New header back exhaust
New battery
New header back exhaust

The body includes the following:

New Ireland Engineering front spoiler
European flush mount front turn signals
New Hella 5 inch driving lights
New front windshield and seal
New rear windshield seal using original windshield
New trunk seal
New trunk lock
New beltline chrome trim
New emblems front and rear
New tires

In addition to everything listed above the following has been replaced.

New hazard switch
New blinker relay
New dash cover

Clean Title in hand.

Enjoy this car as a daily driver or keep it for the weekends and car shows.

Buyer to pay for shipping from Portland OR or local pickup.  I do require a 500$ deposit within 72 hours of close of auction.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.

BMW is ready for our inevitable EV future  

Mon, Dec 4 2017

Is "rolling lithium" a thing, yet? Because BMW is trying to make this — the opposite of " rolling coal" — happen at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show. The Bavarian vehicular group is showing five all-new electric-powered concepts or production models in L.A. These include the C-Evolution, a 99-mile range scooter from BMW Motorcycles; the 150-mile range, two-door hardtop Electric Concept from Mini; and three vehicles from its advanced i sub-brand: the i3S, a sportier and more potent version of the brand's electric commuter nodule; the i Vision Dynamics four-door coupe concept, featuring a sporty four-second 0-60 time and a professed 373 mile range; and the long-promised roadster version of the i8 supercar, with just two seats, a bikini top, and an enhanced power pack providing 18 miles of range. The unveiling of these vehicles in Los Angeles makes perfect sense to us. California is one of the world's largest markets for luxury automobiles. It is also America's biggest market for electric-powered vehicles. Studies show that the state's combination of fiscal incentives, trendsetting cultural positioning, legislative requirements and massive population contributed to the purchase of half of the country's EVs and hybrids this decade. "The customers for the brand are mainly on the West and East Coasts, and the California customer especially is interested in sustainability and environmental protection," said Robert Irlinger, head of BMW's advanced i sub-brand. The bigger question revolves around BMW's larger EV strategy. Given the current global regulatory environment, with its rightful pressures on increasing efficiency and decreasing emissions to help soothe our warming planet and save all life on it, luxury automakers seem to be making a push toward developing a range of battery-powered vehicles to be available around or after the start of the next decade. It seems BMW, with its varied subsidiaries — from lightweight scooters to ultra-luxury barges — is uniquely poised to provide an array of such vehicles. "In the first stage of i back in 2013, we brought what you could call 'bookmark' cars to the market — the i3 commuter and i8 sports car — to show the range of what an electric vehicle could be," said Irlinger. "Now, we are seeing growing interest from customers to bring electrification to the heart of the brand, even to a sport sedan like our i Vision Dynamics four-door coupe.

What does the open patents deal mean for Tesla ... and BMW?

Sat, Jun 14 2014

Gift to the world or trade bait? Tesla Motors announced this week it would open its patents for other automakers to use. That has analysts guessing whether the California-based electric-vehicle maker is looking to either swap trade secrets with other automakers or to expand the proverbial pie that represents the plug-in vehicle market. For its part, Tesla says the answer is B. BMW, which is establishing its i sub-brand of plug-in vehicles, would be a natural collaborator with Tesla, Forbes says. In fact, executives from the two companies met in Europe this week. Details were not released, but a BMW spokesman said, "Both companies are strongly committed to the success of electromobility and discussed how to further strengthen the development of electromobility on an international level." While Tesla brings battery technology to the table, BMW offers its carbon-fiber advancements that lighten vehicle-body weight. Those advancements are key to range-extending efforts and could do wonders for Tesla on its journey to help spur technology for the sake of getting more of the general public to accept plug-in technology as a viable first-car option. Then again, Forbes says Tesla, whose investors include Mercedes-Benz parent Daimler and Toyota, may be keeping its best technologies to itself by not patenting certain advancements at all. What's in Tesla's patent pool? uAutoInsurance analyzed Tesla's 249 patents and found that 104 of them related to battery technology, while 28 pertained to recharging activity, which wasn't surprising (about a quarter of those 249 patents couldn't readily be categorized). Tesla also has nine patents related to sunroof technology. The company is based in California, after all.
