1974 Bmw 2002 on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
The 2002 is a must have for any red blooded BMW enthusiast. This is a
California Car that was bought from Bimmer Bros. in California and
brought here to Texas in 2005. It is virtually rust free which is a huge
plus with these type of cars. The original paint was fading and redone
in a mediocre way so don't expect perfect paint. The body is clean and
straight. I have over 11 years of maintenance and service records as
well as the original owners manual, service log, and Haynes manual. All
the glass is in good condition, the weatherstripping around the front
windshield and rear window are showing wear. The original spare and
flat tire equipment is in the trunk. Engine wise she runs well I've
noticed no leaks on the ground still to this day and the automatic
transmission shifts well. For those who don't like the idea of an auto
here is great news, the automatic has a bigger transmission tunnel so
swapping to a manual is a breeze there is no need to hammer out the
tunnel to make everything fit. This car was fitted with a frigidking Air
Conditioning unit, it is need of a charge but still operates. The
interior is aged and in need of a refresh, the driver seat has a tear
but the other seats do not but they have all lost their plush and
luster. The dash is cracked due to heat and age. All of the electronics
work except the radio and the hazzard switch. All of the tires are good
to go, and the car stops well. The struts are a little tired but it
still rides well. The odometer stopped at 37K. Runs very well. These
cars are hard to find in decent condition and rust free under 10k. Must pay TTL if the vehicle is being registered in the state of Texas. Serious buyers only 512-999-4483 (No dealers or low ballers)

BMW to follow Honda back into F1?
Mon, 14 Apr 2014The economic downturn wrought devastating effects on motor racing. Formula One alone lost half its engine suppliers when Honda left at the end of the 2008 season, and both BMW and Toyota followed at the end of 2009. But things are looking up again. Cosworth may have dropped out this season, reducing the engine suppliers to three: Ferrari, Renault and Mercedes, the latter of which admits that it may have left had the engine formula not changed. But Mercedes has stayed and is dominating the championship. Honda is coming back next season. And word around the paddock is it may not be the only one.
According to Giancarlo Minardi - founder of the team now known as Scuderia Toro Rosso - BMW engineers have been conspicuously spotted lately at F1 test sessions and grands prix, lending to speculation that the new engine regulations may entice the Bavarian automaker back into the series. According to Minardi, BMW's marketing division is pushing for the automaker's return to F1, with the board slated to make a decision in May. BMW would be more likely to consider an engine-supply deal rather than taking a team over like it had with Sauber, but with which team or teams it might collaborate remains a big question mark at this point.
As if that's not enough, Ford is said to be considering taking over Cosworth's aborted V6 turbo engine program to take both outfits back into the sport as well. Cosworth supplied F1 engines under the Ford banner for years, but returned under its own name for four seasons from 2010 through 2013 before shuttering its program to develop an engine to meet the new regulations adopted this season.
Next-gen Mini could sire 10 different models including PHEV
Sat, 12 Oct 2013The first generation of the reimagined, BMW-backed Mini was a simple things, confined to two body styles - hatchback and four-seat convertible. It wasn't until the second-generation platform came along that Mini began truly expanding, offering a long-wheelbase model, a roadster, a coupe, a five-door crossover, and a three-door, um, thing?
BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform.
According to an interview between Automotive News Europe and the BMW board member that oversees Mini, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the funky British brand will be expanding far beyond the seven body styles it currently offers. "With the new ULK architecture, we currently have in mind eight to 10 models," Schwarzenbauer told ANE. That architecture he mentions, will also underpin the BMW 1 Series GT and the BMW X1, meaning that BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform (and that's only what we know about).
2015 BMW X6
Mon, 13 Oct 2014Most everyone would agree that BMW offers a range of very attractive and well-proportioned coupes, sedans, crossovers and wagons. Yet there is one member of its family that has always struck us as a bit odd: the X6.
Proudly coined "The world's first Sports Activity Coupe" by its German maker, the X6 features a wedge-shaped body with a characteristic sloping roofline that appears to squash the heads of its second-row occupants. The crossover rides high off the ground, with a pronounced gap between its chassis and oversized wheel/tire package, capped by short overhangs on both ends. Although curious to the eyes, its overall styling is masculine, and its stance aggressive.
Whether you consider the X6 to be attractive or an eyesore - opinions seem about equally divided - there is nobody at BMW questioning its business model. As of today, the automaker has sold more than 260,000 copies of its five-door crossover, which is why it has flown us to Spartanburg, SC, to sample its second-generation 2015 BMW X6.
