1973 Bmw 2002 Oem+ on 2040-cars
Bedford, Pennsylvania, United States
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 had metal welded to strengthen it. Done during its autocross days.
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
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 Cheers |

Tailor-made BMW motorcycles presented by Petrolicious
Fri, Mar 27 2015Italy is known as a world hub of great design, whether from finally crafted suits and shoes or screaming V8s from Ferrari. In its latest video, Petrolicious transitions to two wheels to focus on a man bringing the country's sophisticated style to some quintessentially German cycles. Calling Franco Augello a motorcycle customizer is almost a slander against his work. Instead of wild paint, heavily modified frames and serious engine upgrades, Augello's creations look more like high-end models from the original factory. His bespoke BMW R65 for a close friend is a perfect example of that craftsmanship. At first glance, the bike, which he calls the Inge 09 for his buddy's nickname, looks like a vintage BMW, albeit one in great shape. Looking closer, you can start picking out little details like the minimalist touches around the fuel filler and leather-wrapped grips. There's nothing flashy about Augello's bikes. Instead, his designs look like well-restored cycles that are more concerned with tiny improvements in some places rather than absolute authenticity. They offer all of the beauty of a Ermenegildo Zegna tailored suit with the ability to fire up the engine and take a ride.
2015 BMW Alpina B6 xDrive Gran Coupe
Thu, 22 May 2014Alpina has been lovingly modifying BMWs for half a century, but as we learned during a tour of the company's HQ in Buchloe, Germany, Alpina has been in the wine distribution business for nearly as long. The company has an estimated million bottles on reserve in two warehouses and a beautiful wine cellar/tasting room on property in western Bavaria, just yards from where its 1,500 hand-crafted automobiles per year are produced.
What does that have to do with the new B6 Gran Coupe? Well, it may help make sense of the overall character of Alpina's automobiles, especially vis-à-vis the similarly priced, similarly powerful M Cars that BMW sells in far greater numbers. Alpinas are built by wine connoisseurs for wine connoisseurs, or wine connoisseur types; they are not rip-snortin' racecars for the road - that's M's domain. Alpinas are esoteric, rich in character and nuanced. But make no mistake: they are very, very fast.
Our brief first drive of the B6 Gran Coupe - the only 6 Series-based Alpina we'll get in the US for 2015 - took place on German autobahns and Austrian alpine roads, where the car is more at home than anywhere in the world, both literally and figuratively. With 540 horsepower and 540 pound-feet of torque on tap from its twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 and xDrive all-wheel drive, the B6 is said to be able to hit 60 miles per hour in 3.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 198 mph, a massive 43 mph faster than the M6, which is electronically limited to 155 mph. Yet even at insane speeds - we saw an indicated 190 mph on one particularly lonely stretch of Autobahn - the B6 feels more luxurious than sporty, taking the countenance of a low-slung Bentley Continental GT or an Aston Martin Rapide S, not a knife-edged supercar. It doesn't feel scintillating like a Porsche 911 GT2; rather it feels rock steady, like the 4,780-pound luxury sedan it is.
In-demand BMW i8 deliveries start in June, and it's more efficient than we thought
Thu, Mar 13 2014Memo to Elon Musk: objects in the rear-view mirror may be closer than they appear. In this case, it's a couple of plug-in BMWs. And they represent the closest thing to a true competitor for Musk and the Tesla Motors electric vehicles. The German automaker re-confirmed that demand for its upcoming i8 plug-in hybrid will exceed the initial supply batch, though BMW didn't release any specific numbers, Reuters says. BMW will start production next month with deliveries commencing in June for the 362-horsepower i8. The news is consistent with a November estimate from BMW that indicated that the first year of i8s were essentially spoken for in advance. We learned in late January that the number of i3 battery-electric vehicles imported to the US won't meet demand during that vehicle's first year of sales either. Here's the thing: all these people were interested in the i8 when BMW said the car got the equivalent of 94 miles per gallon. Turns out, those calculations were a bit off. Reuters also notes that the new numbers show the i8 gets 112 MPGe. That's on the lenient European cycle, but if anyone was holding out for an i8 with triple-figure fuel economy, your time (to get on the waiting list) has come.Motley Fool proposed late last month that BMW is positioned to be Tesla's only real competition when it comes to high-performance plug-in vehicles. The reasoning was that the BMW plug-ins, like the Teslas, are being built from scratch and don't just have EV powertrains dropped into existing vehicle platforms. Whether or not the competition is truly a two-team race is something we're not sure is completely decided yet, but we know it'll be fun to watch unfold either way. Want proof? Check out Autoblog's enjoyable First Drive of the i8 here.
