1973 Bmw 2002 Tii - Original California Sunroof Car on 2040-cars
Folsom, California, United States
|
If you’re reading this ad, I don’t need to explain to you what a 2002 tii is. What you’re looking at here is a 20 year old restoration of a 40 year old car. We are the 4th owner and the car has been in California its entire life. I want this car to go to someone who knows what they are getting, so if you have any questions after reading this posting, please let me know. Like all abandon restoration projects, this one has a story. My son and I bought this car about 3 years ago as a father/son project. The first year, we got the car running well, did a ton of work on all the safety related stuff, and just went after fixing all the little things that needed immediate attention. We also started sourcing parts for the build. About that time, my son got more interested in girls, so we never got around to doing the body and interior. He recently left the country and is serving his military duty overseas for the next two years, so we have jointly decided to sell the car. His only request was that we find a good home for it who will love it as much as we have. The body is very solid with only the surface rust and a minor paint bubbling in a few spots. This was originally a Polaris silver car. When restored, the car was painted an off -white color which is pretty hazy and faded, but because it was professionally prepped when the car was restored, it's held up pretty well. The texture you may notice under the rear bumper is actually undercoating that the previous owner had applied when they re-sprayed the car. This has protected the undercarriage nicely, and the critical points (rockers, fenders, and shock towers) are all solid and rust free. Note the interior panels were replaced behind rear seat, package shelf, and front kick panels by a restoration shop that is known for their work with older cars. This was done to cover holes left behind by the massive sound system installation that the previous owner had put in the car. The car starts easy and runs strong. The engine has good compression and makes great power, but does have a minor oil pan leak. In its current condition, the car could be used as a reliable daily driver as it sits. However, it’s in a condition that makes it worthy of investing in. It would not take much to get the minor problems corrected, and it would be a great candidate for a full original resto, or resto-mod. Overview of the car:
New or replaced since we've owned the car:
Things that I know need work:
Extras on hand that come with the car:
I've tried to cover everyting I can think of, but please let me know if any questions. I can assist with shipping and/or delivery anywhere within Northern California. I'm not listing it locally, so any external inquires will be referred to bid here until the auction is closed. Thanks for looking! |

BMW 8 Series turns 25 [w/video]
Wed, 04 Jun 2014From the very beginning, the BMW 8 Series was a head turner. It was hardly a common sight in the first place, and the angular lines and low, pointed nose made the GT look like something special on the road. It's been 25 years since the Bavarian brand's flagship coupe of the '90s debuted, and owners celebrated the anniversary in style in Germany.
The 8 Series still looks great today, but its popup headlights give away its age a little. You just don't see them anymore. It was introduced at the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show as the 850i with a 5.0-liter V12 under the hood capable of 295 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. Later, even bigger V12s would find their way in there. Production lasted until 1999, but they were rather exclusive with 30,621 built in its lifetime.
To celebrate the anniversary, several BMW clubs organized 120 examples for display at the company's headquarters in Munich. The brand took advantage of the display to show off the ultimate 8 prototype as well. The one-off special packed a 550-horsepower V12 and a body with optimized aero. That engine eventually became the basis for the one in the McLaren F1.
BMW, Sixt carsharing making money most places
Wed, Aug 20 2014The DriveNow carsharing service, which is a partnership between BMW and Sixt, is growing quite rapidly. "We've been surprised about the explosion of new subscriptions, which has helped boost revenue," says Sixt CEO Erich Sixt. The number of DriveNow users has increased from 215,000 at the end of last year to 300,000 today. Sixt says that DriveNow has been profitable in cities in which it has been established for over a year. Perhaps encouraged by its unexpected success, DriveNow is set to expand even further. The service is currently available in five German cities, as well as in San Francisco, California, and the involved parties are considering a five-year plan to expand to 25 more cities in Europe and the US. Still, Sixt expects DriveNow to report a "small-to-medium, single-digit" loss for this year, according to Sixt CFO Julian zu Putlitz. It's no big deal, just the result of startup costs in new areas. Sixt, which is Germany's largest car rental company, also reported that its own second-quarter income rose 12 percent to $37.7 million, while sales rose 7.6 percent to $585.78 million. DriveNow uses a membership and pay-per-minute model that allows customers to rent BMW and Mini vehicles as they need them. The service also acts as a way to let potential customers try out the vehicles and familiarize themselves with the brands before they buy cars of their own at some point. Depending on the location, DriveNow's fleet includes the BMW 1 Series, ActiveE and X1, as well as several Mini vehicles like the Cooper, Clubman and Countryman.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
