Selling my 1973 BMW 2002, 2.0 litre base model, Malaga/Black with black interior and factory sunroof. This has been a project over the last year or so, but some issues remain. I've lost interest in the car and trying to fix them: the car would suit someone who is looking for a 2002 "roundie" and is prepared to address a) a smokey exhaust, b) a rough idle, c) scruffy paint. The car is drivable - it shifts into all gears, the brakes work. I know very little history about the car. I bought it about two years ago. According to the previous owner it had been in Southern California for at least 10 years before then, and prior to that must have been in Colorado, judging by a faded sticker in the rear window from a seminary in Denver. The BMW archives told me that the car was manufactured on February 7th, 1973 and delivered on February 9th, 1973 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original color was Malaga, paint code 021. Here's some more details: 1) Title is clear and in my name. VIN 2588395. 2) Factory sunroof 2) Matching numbers (original engine) 3) Center console with additional VDO gauges: Vacuum, Volts, Oil Pressure (with sender) 4) Working electrics (gauges, lights, washer pump etc.) 5) Weber 32/36 DGAV dual carb with water choke 6) Pertronix ignition 7) Mileage: true value unknown 8) Silver dollar gauges Rust: the previous owner told me he fixed rust on the strut towers in the trunk - see the trunk photos. There was some rust at the top of the front left wing behind the fender (a common rust spot on these cars) which I repaired with fiberglass - the repair is not visible - the area is not structural. There is some bubbling under the paint at the same position on the other side. There is some evidence of rust on the passenger side rocker, just behind the front wheel well. The spare tire well shows evidence of repair in the past, but not by me: I just applied POR-15 to the inside. There was some rust through at the base of the front valance, which was repaired. The floor pans look good, both from inside the car and underneath. Again, please see photos. Here's a list of what's new, replaced or notable: 1) New windscreen, new windscreen seal and lockstrip 2) Two new front tires (Falken 175/70-R13) 3) New rear window seal and lockstrip 4) New oil filter (Framm) and oil change (Castrol 20W50) 5) New BP6ES plugs 6) New ignition wires 7) New distributor cap and rotor 8) Replaced distributor 9) New in-line fuel filter 10) New fuel hose 11) Rebuilt Weber carb 12) New Weber water choke assembly 13) New VDO oil pressure sender and right angle adapter 14) New exhaust manifold studs, nuts and gasket 15) New exhaust down pipe clamp and donut seal 16) New valve cover gasket (valves gapped to 0.006) 17) New battery 18) Replacement steering wheel 19) New washer pump 20) New gas tank 21) New front bucket seats 22) Carpet replaced with good used 23) Recovered rear bench seat and back 24) Refinished interior trim (door panels, rear seat panels) 25) New sunroof seals 26) New wiper blades 27) New dashboard cover 28) New trunk and hood badges 29) Replacement speedo, shows 10k - not original mileage (which is unknown) Here's a list of what goes with the car: 1) Owner's manual (good readable condition) and some other brochures (poor condition) etc. in blue BMW pouch 2) Original front seats, and all attachment hardware 3) Original spare tire and jack Here's a list of "issues": 1) Engine idles roughly, exhaust smokes after engine warms up. May be running rich (carb issue), or may be worn valve stem seals: I don't know. Manifold vacuum is good (around 20mmHg at idle), oil pressure around 30psi warm engine. Engine revs freely. Timing set correctly. 2) Headliner tatty and stained 3) The front struts are bouncy and probably need replacing 4) Blower fan works but is squeaky 5) The paint looks fine from 20ft, iffy from 10ft, and downright poor close-up. 6) Radio/cassette works, but is not hooked up. There are no speakers. Since I haven't driven the 2002 more than once or twice around the block, I cannot estimate whether it would make it on a cross country journey or even across town. You are welcome (and encouraged) to inspect the 2002 before the auction ends. If you need any more information, or photos (I have many), don't hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to answer. This auction may end early as the car is also for sale locally. A deposit of $500 is payable via PayPal within 24 hours if you win the auction, and the balance should be paid within 7 days, EITHER cash in person when the car is picked up, OR via wire to my bank account (I will give you details) before the car is released. NO OTHER METHODS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTABLE. The auction winner is entirely responsible for pickup/shipping/transport of the car, although I am of course happy to help with the logistics. |

2021 BMW M3 and M4 vs all the high-powered sport sedans and coupes
Wed, Sep 23 2020Should you have a found a way to get past that schnoz, you've probably digested some of the basic specs for the all-new 2021 BMW M3 sedan and M4 coupe specs. They're plenty impressive. There's also, basically, two sets of them thanks to the regular and Competition versions that differ in engine output and transmission type. But how do they compare to other ultra sport sedans and coupes? Well, we were wondering that too, so we fired up the Autoblog Comparison Spreadsheet Generator 5000 (aka me chained to my computer in a dark basement). Sadly, there are surprisingly few competitors for the 2021 BMW M3. Rival sedans include the Mercedes-AMG C 63 and the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, along with the Audi RS 5 Sportback sedan/coupe/hatchback thing. There's no more Lexus IS F, the Cadillac CT4 Blackwing has yet to arrive and Jaguar doesn't offer a spicy XE R. Happily, there are more coupe rivals for the 2021 BMW M4, including the two-door versions of the AMG and Audi as well as the Lexus RC F. I also included the Ford Shelby GT350 and Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE. On paper, they align incredibly well. On the street and on a track, I can personally attest that these Americans are fully capable of keeping up and/or bettering the fancy-pants luxury brands (and let's not forget there are even more powerful, hardcore versions available). If they don't align in terms of price or prestige, whatever. OK, let's get to the spreadsheet. Let's start with the coupes and note that I didn't bother listing the dimensions for the M4 Competition and C 63 S as they are identical to their "lesser" siblings. I won't bother burning words explaining what you can see on the chart. Instead, I'll point out a few things that stood out to me. First, BMW M comes awfully close to matching the output of AMG's twin-turbo V8 despite having two fewer cylinders. Similarly, Audi manages to better the 0-60 time of the M4 Competition and tie the C 63 S despite being WAY down on power. It's not like it weighs less. Magic? Second, and speaking of 0-60 times, remember the importance that transmission and drivetrain make with them. It's not just horsepower and torque. An automatic will be quicker and easier to launch than a manual, while all-wheel drive provides more instantaneous and beneficial grip.
Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX
Mon, Feb 2 2015Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.
