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!

BMW launches new M Performance accessories for M5, M6
Wed, 16 Oct 2013Those looking to make their stock BMW look like an M model might be interested in an M Sport package. But those who already drive an M model and want that extra bit of attitude to take it over the top look towards the M Performance Accessories catalog, to which BMW has just added a new range of add-ons for the M5 and M6.
The new range of accessories include a titanium exhaust from Akrapovic that's 22 pounds lighter and an extra bit throatier than the stock unit. BMW's also offering a carbon-ceramic brake kit and 20-inch alloys to accommodate them, as well as a carbon aero kit, carbon interior trim and those trademark stripes for the truly extroverted BMW performance enthusiast.
You can check them out in the gallery above and the press release below to see what Martin Tomzczk, the DTM driver sponsored by BMW M Performance Accessories, chose for his matte black M6 Gran Coupe daily driver.
Hyundai, Kia, Genesis and Subaru clean up in IIHS 2018 safety ratings
Thu, Dec 7 2017Hyundai, its partner Kia and its Genesis division are the big winners in the latest vehicle safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, accounting for six of the 15 models that earned the Top Safety Pick+ awards for 2018. Subaru was right behind with four, Mercedes-Benz had two, and Toyota, BMW and Ford each had one. Another 47 vehicles earned the Top Safety Pick designation, where Toyota had 10 vehicle models, with Hyundai recognized for nine models. All but one of the seven vehicles in Subaru's lineup, the BRZ, qualified for one of the awards. IIHS strengthened the criteria for the Top Safety Pick+ award for 2018 to require headlights to earn a "good" rating — an "acceptable" rating was previously enough to notch the "plus" award — and good or acceptable passenger-side protection in the small overlap front crash, which replicates a crash involving just the front corner of a vehicle. It also required vehicles to have acceptable or good headlights for the first time to earn a Top Safety Pick award. Most of winners for both awards qualified on the basis of optional upgrades. IIHS in October began evaluating the passenger side of vehicles in its small overlap front crash test after it said it became clear that automakers were neglecting that side of the vehicle as they focused on improving driver-side protections. IIHS first began conducting driver-side small overlap crashes in 2012. It began measuring both how well low and high beams illuminated the road and the amount of glare they produce for oncoming vehicles as part of its ratings in 2016. The Top Safety Pick+ winners are listed below. The list doesn't include any minivans, pickups or minicars, which don't appear on either list of awardees. Small cars Kia Forte Kia Soul Subaru Impreza (sedan and wagon) Subaru WRX Midsize cars Subaru Legacy Subaru Outback Toyota Camry Large luxury cars BMW 5 series Genesis G80 Genesis G90 Lincoln Continental Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan Midsize SUVs Hyundai Santa Fe Hyundai Santa Fe Sport Midsize luxury SUV Mercedes-Benz GLC The full list of Top Safety Pick winners is available here.Related Video: Image Credit: IIHS BMW Genesis Hyundai Kia Lincoln Subaru Toyota Safety Crossover SUV Wagon Sedan crash test
Formula E gets wireless-charging BMW i8 safety car [w/video]
Tue, 26 Aug 2014Racing series typically select a safety car appropriate to the kinds of racecars for which they'll be setting the pace. So you might find a Mercedes SLS pacing a Formula One grand prix, for example, and you're more likely to find a BMW M4 on duty at a DTM race and a Chevy Camaro or SS on an oval speedway for a NASCAR or Indy race. It would only stand to reason, then, that the FIA Formula E Championship kicking off next month in Beijing would press a plug-in into service as its safety car. But the organizers didn't go for your run-of-the-mill Nissan Leaf or Toyota Prius.
No, the safety car for Formula E will be a BMW i8 specially modified for the occasion. As you can see from the video below, the hybrid sports car packs a full roll cage, racing buckets with harnesses, special communications systems and on-board fire extinguishers. But that's not all.
In partnership with technological partner Qualcomm, the Formula E support fleet - including two examples each of the i8 and i3 - will feature inductive charging. So while one is out on the track, or at least sitting at the end of the pit lane waiting to be deployed - the other will be charging wirelessly. The vehicles are still pending FIA approval, and only one has been outfitted with the Qualcomm Halo wireless charging system (with the others to be retrofitted later), but they were all on hand for the recent practice race at Donnington Park.
