1973 BMW 2002 2.0L, E21 head Weber 32/36 dgv w/ manual choke VIN 2590293 The original owner drove the car
for 20 years, putting 156K miles on it. He maintained it well and decided to
turn the car into a racer. He installed new Bilstein racing shocks and new
Eibach springs. He also installed the Zender rear spoiler, the aftermarket
sunroof, removed the entire metal waist moulding and filled all the holes. At a point nearing the end of his 20 year
ownership, he had the shock towers repaired professionally (see pictures). He also
painted the body Chamonix white from the original Sahara tan. He then sold the
car to its 2nd owner, who did loads of work to the car and after
roughly 14 years of owning the car, he (the 2nd owner) sold the 2002
to me. During possession of the 2nd owner… He installed the drivetrain from a
restored 73 ‘02 totaled rollover, which he had previously acquired. The motor
from that car was a 1975 (e21 head) which was completely rebuilt, bored and
balanced, new cam and some bottom end work as well. The transmission (rebuilt) was solid with no
synchro issues. The clutch was also new. The driveshaft was rebuilt as well. I have since replaced the
thermostat and flushed the coolant system. Included in the sale comes an extra
water pump. I have also recently replaced the starter. The Carburation which
was installed is a Weber 32/36 DGV with manual choke and K&N air filter.
Since then I have installed a new set of plugs, wires and a new coil pack.
During being away at school the car had to sit for quite some time and when I
went to run it again, I messed with the timing, in doing so my adjustable
timing gun broke so I had to use an older one… Due to this I had to set the
timing back to base timing and have not finalized it for final ignition. The
car starts, runs and drives down the road, but due to the gummed up carb, old
points and base timing, it only runs at about 30% of capable performance. To
bring it back to proper driving excitement means only a small amount of light
work. Included in the sale is a new set of points and a nice set of Bavarian
Autosport Wires. The 2nd owner installed
a brand new ANSA exhaust system; with a 2002Tii exhaust manifold. He also installed new brakes front
and rear with cross drilled rotors and new brake hoses. In addition he installed
factory rebuilt front brake calipers. Included in the sale, is a set of rear
drum pads (one side only) and a set of front caliper pads (one side only). The
only part of the drivetrain that is original is rear differential. (It is still working fine, however an
additional differential is included in the sale.) In addition I will give
another spare steering box with the sale. The ’02 is mounted on a set of performance
Sumitomo 195/60-13 with BBS style OE equipment 320is wheels 13x6. (Currently,
June 2014, the tires are cracking pretty significantly and should be replaced.)
EXTERIOR: The front grilles are later '02
model plastic grilles, which he installed. Headlights are Hella H-4 element
style. The rear bumper is a '71 '02 short sided bumper. Rear trim and taillight
rims painted black. He installed a new front windshield and replaced all the other
glass. He also installed pressure sensitive adhesive backed black moulding to
replace the waist moulding. All side marker lights and reflectors were removed
and holes were filled to simulate the look of the older 2002. I have since
painted the front grills, kidney grills, rear light surrounds and trim. The
original owner removed the front bumper and I have since installed a front
valance from Bavarian Autosport. INTERIOR: The 2nd owner Installed
new black carpeting and all the original black interior panels which are in Very
Good/Excellent condition. He also installed original equipment BMW Recaro seats
from an ‘83 320is. They are in fantastic condition and mounted onto the 2002
seat tracks. The rear seat (both parts) are still in very good condition with
the original horsehair padding. Headliner is solid with no rips along with the sun
visors. The dash pad is a one piece unit from a 74 ‘02. It has a few small to
medium sized cracks. The original ‘bus’ steering wheel is still in excellent
condition with a leather cover. The
original analog radio is gone, but I’ve installed a newer cd player with
axillary port. I have also installed two rear speakers for music enjoyment,
nothing serious or obnoxious. BODY CONDITION: The major 2002 issues have been addressed. As stated above, Rear strut tower decay/rust/rot is NOT an issue on this example AT ALL. As seen in the photos, the rear strut towers are close to Factory NEW. The spare tire well has some very minor surface rust in spots but is absolutely solid (as seen in photos). The body is straight. The front directional areas are solid. Rocker panels are good. Wheel arches are good. Rear suspension mounts are good. Wheel wells are solid. Floors are solid, with some surface rust, but completely structurally sound. The biggest area of concern is the driver’s door; with some small rust holes coming through at the bottom and some sheet metal waves and imperfections (as seen in photos). A few years back I spent many hours applying Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator to the undercarriage of the car (general tlc and a fun way to get to know the car) For my huge collection of additional photos, please visit my photobucket account ... http://s230.photobucket.com/user/autopulse/library/#/user/autopulse/library/1973%202002?sort=3&page=1&_suid=140250117920905851625003729951 For a short video of the 2002 running at idle with some throttle play, please visit my youtube account ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOKkNcoyKt8 All ISSUES that could
be of any concern: -As stated above, the timing is currently set at base; and
requires adjustment for completion. -The carburetor is gummed up a bit and could use a rebuild
or at least a cleaning. -The points are a few years old and should be replaced soon.
(new points kit come with sale) -The oil dip stick sleeve which was originally pressed into
the block, has come loose over the years and leaks oil at a Very Very slow
rate. (of no real concern, but should be addressed) -The front left frame rail has metal welded to strengthen it;
which fyi does not affect drivability at all. (see photos) -Motor mounts and Tranny mounts are in need of replacement
(A new set of mounts comes with the sale of the car) -There is some minor rust which came through on the driver
door bottom, and sheet metal imperfections/creases. (see photos) -Both doors have very minor sagging and could use
adjustment. -Some of the rubber and cloth window seals are getting old.
(see photos) -Passenger window has trouble cranking up due to falling out
of track occasionally. -There are some dash cracks. (see photos) -Driver’s interior door card has some snapped off fasteners,
which are easily replaced (see photos) -Paint is good with some flaws i.e. various chips, clear
fade and other minor issues. (see photos) -Bottom of Rear sub-frame has some rust, which does not
affect drivability, but should be addressed (see photos) -Speedo is non-functioning -Shifter has movement due to worn linkage collar -Non original sunroof If any of these
issues bother you, please do not bid on this car! This is not a stock automobile. If
you are looking for a 2002 for investment quality, this car is NOT for you. It
was put back together from parts of various year 2002’s to be driven on the
street. The 2nd owner had put only about 3000 miles since the
reassembly 14 years ago; and I have put an additional 2500 miles on it. It
corners incredibly well due to the stiff suspension. It rides surprising smooth
too, not as harsh as you would think. This car would make a great auto crosser or vintage
racer, as it is already prepped to do so. It is also a fine street driver. It
has been garaged the majority of its life with adult care and attention to
preservation. I personally have an Associate’s degree in Automotive Technology,
and currently I’m going back to school for Transportation Design. The previous
(2nd owner) has owned/worked on 2002’s since 1974 and had owned 22
of them! Between the Original owner, the 2nd
owner and myself; the 2002 has been looked after and maintained properly with a
focus on the legend of BMW’s sporting heritage and the enjoyment of drive. . $500 non-refundable deposit is required at end of the auction from the serious bidder. Anyone who is serious about purchasing this car should send me an email through Ebay. I will then send you my phone number and we can discuss the car, any questions and your intent on purchasing this vehicle. I have the right to cancel any bids over the reserve price from Ebay members with less than 5 positive feedbacks unless we have been in contact.
Due to the '02 not having current inspection, Please bring a trailer or dolley Thanks for reading up on my 1973 “roundie” 2002.. Don’t miss out to own the Grandfather BMW’s
sporting sedan pedigree! Cheers |

BMW to launch loaner program to avoid range anxiety on i models
Tue, 12 Mar 2013BMW is looking to stave off electric vehicle range anxiety with a new program that offers buyers a free gasoline loaner with every i3 purchase. Ward's Auto reports BMW is confident that the EV will give buyers the kind of transportation they need for 90 percent of their trips. The loaners, meanwhile, will be available for those few occasions when drivers need to cover more ground than the machine's batteries will allow. The i3 gets around with help from a 180-horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium-ion battery pack.
The combo is good for trips of between 80 and 100 miles depending on driving habits and weather conditions, though BMW also plans to offer a model with a small two-cylinder range-extending gasoline engine as well. That option will likely set you back an additional $4,000. When the machine bows in 2014, it will likely come with a charge time of four to six hours when suckling from a 220-volt outlet.
As far as the conventionally powered loaner car goes, the cost of the program is included in the i3's purchase price, though BMW has yet to figure out how many free loans will be offered, or what happens after that threshold is reached.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
BMW celebrates its awesome '80s M535i
Wed, Jan 7 2015BMW recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of the M5 with a very limited, special edition of the super sedan. And even before the original version was transporting German executives at ludicrous speeds down the Autobahn, the folks in the M department tried their hand at improving the 5 Series with the M535i. Only offered in 1980 and 1981, the company made just 1,650 of these top-spec models, but they sowed the seeds for the future. In this video looking back at the M535i, you really see the automaker from a completely different era. As an outgrowth of the company's touring car racing efforts, the special model packs a 3.5-liter inline-six rated at 218 horsepower, a powertrain capable of accelerating the M535i to 62 miles per hour in 7.5 seconds via a dogleg five-speed gearbox. This take on the 5 Series is also a visual treat because it mixes the standard version's skinny A-pillar and thick C-pillar styling with some era-specific upgrades. The corduroy-covered Recaro seats and groovy multicolor stripes down the side, on the air dam and at the rear are especially fun touches. While the video's announcer is a bit dull, there's nothing boring about this rare, vintage BMW. Take a trip back in time with this clip, it's a nice bookend to the Petrolicious E28 5 Series family video we showed you yesterday.
