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)

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

BMW X4 tunes up its crossover game in Germany

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Except for the fancy wheels and the overly expressive fascias, the production version of the BMW X4 looks like it will carry over practically untouched from what we saw in the X4 Concept several months back. With the same fastback roofline as the concept, these spy shots show that the X4 is taking shape to be a baby version of the BMW X6.
Sharing the same platform as the X3, the lower and wider X4 will be positioned slightly more upmarket - as is the case with the X5 and X6. We hear that this could mean that the X4 will ditch the X3's base engine to give an even sportier feel right out of the gate, but word has it that an M version will being showing up down the road as well.
BMW has already revealed what it plans to show off at the Frankfurt Motor Show (i3, 4 Series Coupe, next-gen X5, refreshed 5 Series, X5 Concept eDrive plug-in hybrid and Concept Active Tourer Outdoor), so barring any surprised we definitely won't be seeing the X4 there. At this point, with as close to production as these images would have us believe, our best guess would be that we'll see the X4's official unveiling happen either at LA or Detroit.

Sunday Drive: Taking a gaze into the automotive crystal ball

Sun, Oct 22 2017

Mankind has long been fascinated by the future. So it makes sense that this past week's top stories were all about cars, trucks, and SUVs that won't be hitting the market until the 2019 model year. And right at the top of the list is the Ram 1500. We've come to know Ram as the truck maker that styles its pickups with cues cribbed from big rigs, but that look has slowly evolved over time into something uniquely its own. The next Ram 1500 continues this trend, with a newly refined look that we can't wait to see in person. Up next is the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Pickup trucks have been, continue to be, and will remain the best-selling vehicles in America. And General Motors is a leader in the field, with two distinct offerings with which to entice buyers, one from the bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand and one wearing the slightly more upscale GMC badge. The Chevy looks to get LED lighting elements for 2019, which ought to keep the truck from looking dated when compared to the Ford F-150 and the previously mentioned Ram 1500. From there we move past pickup trucks and into SUVs and sedans. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee looks to get toned down a bit with its next refresh, and the '19 BMW 3 Series continues its slow evolutionary journey at the top of its aspirational sales pedestal. Finally, spy shots give way to official production reveals for the 2019 Audi A7 and Polestar 1. This pair of European luxury cars won't compete with one another – one is a rakish hatchback and the other a sports coupe – any further than for the eyeballs of our readers, but both proved popular enough to merit inclusion in our weekly roundup. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2019 Ram 1500 spotted without the classic crosshairs 2019 Chevy Silverado spied with new LED accents 2019 Jeep Cherokee reveals a much more normal face 2019 BMW 3 Series spy shots reveal production lights, new interior details 2019 Audi A7 revealed: More torque, refined styling Polestar 1 First Look | The 600 horsepower hybrid Scandinavian Green Audi BMW Chevrolet Jeep RAM Volvo Truck Hatchback SUV Future Vehicles Hybrid Luxury Performance Sedan sunday drive polestar 1

2015 BMW S 1000 RR looks to retain sportbike supremacy

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

The BMW S 1000 RR is already a pretty potent member of the superbike ranks, but BMW is revealing a host of upgrades for this two-wheeled lightning bolt at the Intermot 2014 motorcycle show that should make it even faster.
The biggest additions to the latest 1000 RR are its new cylinder head, lighter valves and different intake cam to tweak even more power from the bike's 1.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and BMW now rates it at a claimed 196 horsepower (or 199 horses if you go with the European measurement, converted from 146 kilowatts), a boost over the first-gen's 193 ponies, and 83 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed gearbox. Those adjustments would probably be enough to make the cycle a tick faster alone, but the Bavarian engineers also cut 8.82 pounds (4 kg) to bring the motorcycle's weight with a full tank of fuel to a feather-light 450 pounds. Much of that diet comes from the redesigned exhaust that cuts about 6.6 pounds off the scales.
Cradling that tweaked engine is a redesigned, lighter frame with fully adjustable springs. The bike also comes standard with Race ABS, stability control, seven-step variable traction control and three riding modes. In terms of styling, all of these changes are communicated through an updated fairing with repositioned, though still asymmetric, headlights.
