1974 Bmw 2002 Automatic Running Project Car With Lots Of Extras on 2040-cars

Year:1974 Mileage:500000
Location:

Shawnee, Kansas, United States

Shawnee, Kansas, United States

 This was my daily driver for the last five years.  It has about 500,000 miles on it.  I am the 5th owner.  Here's what I've done in the last 5 years.

New:
Springs and KYB shocks, wheel bearings, 4 Rota Wheels, 4 Tires, Carpet, soundproofing, 90amp alternator, Carb, Pertronix ignition, 320i Radiator, exhaust system, front seats, 3-Spoke M Class steering wheel.

The car comes with:
its original steel wheels and BMW caps and a set of so-so tires, 2 Radios, two consoles, 1 Weber 32/36 Carb., the original front seats, A/C (disassembled), original steering wheel.

OK, so here's the deal.  This car starts right up, but you have to idle it at about 2500RPMs for about 30 seconds to clear the oil out of #3 due to a leaky head gasket. It drips oil, brake, and a little transmission fluid.  It drives well and corners nicely.  It doesn't smoke. The towers and floor panels are good but there is some rust in the spare tire well.  I got fed up with all of the hoopla about Weber cars and all of the continual tuning they take so I changed out the linkage and put in a Holley 350cfm and it runs much better since.  I haven't been near it with a wrench or screwdriver since and the acceleration is much smoother and stronger.

It runs fine but if you buy it and live more than 500 miles from Kansas City, you should bring either a trailer or a bag of tools for the trip.  I drove it from KC to Phx and back 2 years ago with no problems at all.   I will be glad to put it on a trailer for you, at your expense of course.   It's a project car, but it turns eyes and starts lots of great conversations.

A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4

Fri, 17 Jan 2014

It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.

2015 BMW X4 is a budget X6

Wed, 16 Apr 2014

We won't argue that crossovers are hugely successful vehicles, with automakers working to provide functional CUVs in a wide range of sizes. But over at BMW, things are just getting out of hand, as evidenced by this new X4 "Sports Activity Coupe" that debuts here at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
BMW is seeing fit to offer vehicles in even the most niche of niches, and the X4 is no exception. Want proof? Have a look at the X4, and the compare it to the X3, the 3 Series Gran Turismo, the 3 Series Sport Wagon, and the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Aside from marginal differences in things like ground clearance and the exact slope of the hatchback, what, exactly, is the difference?
Like the other models we just mentioned, the X4 is powered by either a 2.0-liter turbo-four with 240 horsepower or a more powerful, 3.0-liter turbo-six with 300 horsepower, and unsurprisingly, power is sent to the ground exclusively via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox available with either engine. All sounds very familiar, right?

2016 X6 M brings the power at LA show

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

BMW tore the cover off the second generation 2016 X6 M Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
BMW tuned the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 to push out 567 horsepower, up from the last model's 555 hp. Torque also leaps to 553 pound feet, compared with the previous output of 500 lb-ft. The V8 is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, which swaps in for the old six-speed. This potent powertrain allows the crossover to hit 60 miles per hour in about four seconds.
The X6, which features slightly more dramatic styling and an angled rear roofline, debuted alongside the more conventionally styled 2016 BMW X5 M at the LA show.
