1973 Bmw 2002tii, Bmw 2002 on 2040-cars
Kingsport, Tennessee, United States
You are bidding on a 1973 BMW 2002tii. I can almost guarantee one thing--drive this car to your favorite car event or even the gas station and you'll have more people coming out of the woodwork and commenting, asking questions and complimenting than if you drove up in a brand new M4!!! This car really grabs people's attention. A bit of history. I bought this car as a totally complete non-running tii at a charity auction about 15 years ago. I kept it covered beside my garage for several years and then sold it to a friend of mine. My friend did all the great work on the car to bring it to the condition it is in today. He is a truly talented mechanic, fabricator and body man. I bought it back from him a few years ago when he needed some cash for another project. Since then, I have had to do absolutely nothing to the car but drive it. Honestly, I have never had to do ANYTHING to this car--no adjustments, tune ups, NOTHING. I have never tracked the car. The car shows 75,513 miles but that may not be accurate. As 2002s go, it is rust free. The engine has been thoroughly and professionally built. The head has been ported and polished. It features dual Dell'Orto side draft carburetors with a Korman intake and Mann cam. It has remote electronic ignition, remote oil filter, remote electric fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure and gauge, along with headers and a custom Supertrap exhaust. The battery has been relocated to the trunk. The transmission is the original 4 speed but also included in this auction is a 5 speed from a 1982 320i along with the instruction manual to do a 5 speed conversion. It has a limited slip differential. The engine starts and runs easily, has tremendous oil pressure, runs GREAT and stays cool. It is very streetable and very reliable. I am also including all the original Kuegelfisher fuel injection parts that I have from the original tii. The body is painted in red has molded in fender flares front and rear along with a front air dam and Zender rear spoiler. The wheels are Panasport copies with 205/50R15 tires. A wheel stud kit is installed on all hubs. Also included is another set of aftermarket wheels with road race tires. The interior features a full roll cage and Recaro seats. It has a full complement of gauges including volts, oil pressure and temperature. To the best of my knowledge everything is working on the car except the heat--just needs a control cable and the clock (they never work). The clutch slave cylinder seeps a bit of fluid but works perfectly. You will see a very minor drip of oil (quarter size) or so after it has been parked awhile. The car needs to have a good going through of the suspension. If I kept the car, I would replace all the bushings and any worn ball joints, tie rods, shocks etc. and then give the car a proper alignment. It does have custom springs but it does need a good going through of the suspension. With wheel width spacers in, the right rear tire will rub the inner wheel well. This is because the rear bushings are shot. With spacers out, it is fine. I have had many 2002s, so along with this auction, you are welcome to take what you want of my extensive collection of 2002 parts. There are bumpers, transmissions, engine parts, seats, body parts, gas tanks and so on. All free with the car. If you want it all, bring a big truck and trailer!! I want the buyer to be happy with your purchase so I have tried to give a true picture and description of the car. It is a great car and looks VERY cool. It is not a show car but a very good driver that could be used every day or put on the track with just a little suspension tune up. Feel free to email me with questions or send me your email and I can send more pictures. I hate to let it go but I just don't have the time any more to do the suspension. I'm sure I will think back one day and regret selling it. A $500 deposit is required via PayPal at auction close. The balance is to be paid in cash and you will get a free and clear clean title when you pick it up. Happy bidding and good luck!

Recharge Wrap-up: No Tesla Gigafactory deal with California, BMW i3 recalled
Thu, Sep 4 2014Before the Nevada announcement was hinted at, a deal to incentivize a Tesla Gigafactory in California fell through. Tesla was looking for around $500 million in incentives, which the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development was willing to offer in tax breaks along with making the permit and environmental processes easier. According to Senator Ted Gaines, there still remained "a gap between what Tesla wanted and what California was willing to offer," the contents of which were undisclosed. California could still be chosen for another of Tesla's battery plants, should those ever materialize. Read more at The Desert Sun. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will consider allowing a bit of compliance flexibility to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations for some automakers. CARB will hold a hearing to discuss giving intermediate volume manufacturers (IVMs) - carmakers that do between 4,501 and 60,000 new vehicle sales in the state - some leniency catching up to the larger manufacturers when it comes to clean vehicle production. The ZEV regulation changes take into account the amount of revenue IVMs have available for developing the cars, particularly plug-in hybrids. Read more at Green Car Congress or see the notice from CARB here. Certain units of the BMW i3 are subject to an airbag recall. For cars built March 31, 2014, the passenger airbag inflator may have been assembled incorrectly, which could keep it from deploying when needed. Owners will be notified by BMW, and the problem will be fixed for free. The recall also affects certain 2014 Mini Cooper models. Learn more at the NHTSA website. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is providing 200 electric vehicles to telecommunications company Orange in France. The cars, which will include the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, Renault ZOE and Renault Kangoo ZE, will be used mostly for carsharing. Through the program, Orange employees can book a car for work or personal travel using a smartphone. The Alliance will also help Orange install charging stations for the new cars. The addition of the EVs to the fleet will help Orange achieve its goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 20 percent by 2020. Read more in the press release, below. Jianghuai Automobile Company (JAC) is delivering its first 100 EVs to the US. The shipment is part of a larger order of 2,000 cars to be sold by GreenTech Automotive in the US market.

Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
BMW doubles i8 production to meet demand
Sat, Mar 28 2015They're not exactly Ford F-150 pickup truck numbers, but global sales of the BMW i8 plug-in hybrid are spurring the German automaker to step up the supercar's pace of production. As rumored, Bimmer, which has been pretty happy with sales of its i3 electric vehicle, is going to double the production pace of the i8. BMW's Germany factory will now put out about 20 i8 vehicles a day, Automotive News Europe says. That should cut down the wait time for the model, which started sales in both Europe last June and in the US two months later. Right now, buyers have to wait about four months to get their i8 plug-in vehicles, Automotive News Europe says, citing German outlet Automobil Produktion. Given that the cars retail for $135,000, we suspect these are people who probably aren't accustomed to wait for much. In January, BMW said that it sold almost 18,000 i3 and i8 plug-in vehicles last year globally, with about a third of those going to the US. Specifically, BMW moved 555 units of the i8 last year (and the vehicle was really only available for about five months) and another 198 through February. Through February, Bimmer also moved 1,759 units of the i3.
