1972 Bmw 2002 Texas And Socal History - Good Structure For Rebuild - Clear Title on 2040-cars
Van Alstyne, Texas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: BMW
Drive Type: 4 Speed
Model: 2002
Mileage: 118,300
Trim: 4 Speed
This is a 1972 BMW 2002 4 speed rolling project. The car was initially going to be the subject of a 2002 Turbo Clone type build, but plans have changed as they tend to do. The car was chosen primarily because of it's structural integrity and general lack of rust in the important areas. There are areas that will need attention, and the car isn't pretty, but this may fit your 2002 intentions and may be better than the car you're about to start on.
This car was originally silver, and started life in Southern California. At some point in time it came to Texas, and was last registered here in 2005 based on the stickers on the windshield. It had AC installed as well. The car has a clear Texas Title, no issues.
In anticipation of the build, the prior owner removed the original engine (it's long gone) but the original 4 speed is still in the car. The interior was also mostly taken out and some other odds and ends were removed. I've put most of the pieces back, but that's honestly just for organization (and these pictures) - expect to rebuild everything on this car, and having another parts car isn't a bad idea either as there are items that are missing (like a drivers seat). The prior owner also collected both a left and right door shell to replace the doors on the car. They're included. There is some waviness in the left rear fender, and the rear of both front fenders have bubbling. The roof has a large (but tough to see) depression in it. The only rust on the floors is on top of the pedal box, where a small patch will be needed. I've taken as many pictures as I could in broad daylight to illustrate the condition of the body. The shock towers are as solid as the day they were made in 1972. The pictures will tell the rest of the story of the body.
The car rolls, steers, and stops (with the handbrake) and can be easily pushed around with one hand. What you see is what is being offered in this auction.
In addition to this rolling body, I also have a 1974 Tii engine and 320i 5 speed that I'll offer the winning bidder for an additional $600. The engine has been dissasembled down to the short block, but turns over by hand. The head, fuel injection, and intake are in boxes. I can't guarantee every little piece is there, but it's a great start on a good Tii engine if you need one.
Please look at the pictures, and please don't underestimate the time or money (and probably both) it will take to get this 2002 back to life - Whether you want to get it back on the road or take it weekend racing it's a full rebuild if anything - but this is a good starting point for a car that seems to increase in value every year.
I'm north of Dallas, TX. This car has a clear title.

Giles Taylor succeeds Ian Cameron as head of Rolls-Royce design
Thu, 28 Jun 2012Back in the day, a Rolls-Royce looked pretty much the same as a Bentley, but with a different grille. Once BMW took over Rolls-Royce, however, it was faced with the challenge of visually separating itself from its former sister brand. And most would agree that it did so pretty well. But its cars have looked pretty much the same ever since. What Rolls-Royce needs, then, is a bit of a design shake-up. And that's just what this latest appointment could bring.
After a baker's dozen years as design director at Rolls-Royce (and twenty years designing for the BMW Group altogether), Ian Cameron is retiring from his post. In his place, Rolls-Royce has named Giles Taylor as its new director of design. In his new capacity, Taylor will report directly to BMW Group chief designer Adrian van Hooydonk, and be responsible for all design matters related to the Rolls-Royce brand and its products.
Taylor was promoted to the role from his previous position as head of exterior design for the marque, a position he's held for barely more than a year. We'll be eagerly watching to see what the veteran British car designer has in store for the future of Rolls-Royce. In the meantime you can read the full announcement below.
Next-gen BMW 5 Series sedan spotted with production body, possible PHEV
Fri, Dec 12 2014The current BMW 5 Series is just a few years old since its 2009 debut, but the Bavarians are already preparing to put the model out to pasture. Here's our first glimpse at the production bodywork for the next-gen sedan after spotting the wagon version during testing – twice. While the cladding and swirling camouflage make specific details difficult to discern, it doesn't look like we should expect any massive changes in design language from the new model. The nose appears to dip a bit more at the tip of the front end, but otherwise there's no way to mistake this as anything other than a 5 Series. Squint hard enough at the front left fender and you can notice what seems to be a small door. Our spies think that this might be hiding the charging port for a plug-in hybrid version. While the styling doesn't appear to be changing much, the next 5er reportedly has a new platform underneath the skin that supposedly will help it shed around 220 pounds. The debut for this lighter but likely similar looking BMW is expected sometime in 2016.
