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.

BMW 1 Series with B38 three-cylinder engine

Downsizing For BMW's Front-Wheel-Drive And i Futures
Output is quoted at 175 horsepower and BMW says it will hit 62 mph in 7.0 seconds.
The red five-door BMW 1 Series seen in this photo gallery has little to do with what is actually of importance here. What we've just tested at an airfield not far from Munich, Germany, is a new 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo inline three-cylinder gas engine that we'll be hearing an awful lot about in the coming few years.

BMW web sales plan opposed by German dealers

Tue, 23 Jul 2013

Tesla isn't the only manufacturer that is facing a backlash over its plans to sell cars directly to customers. BMW is under fire from its German dealerships over its desire to sell its cars via the internet.
BMW has plans to sell the new i3 through the World Wide Web, while a "Mobile Sales Force" will be making house calls. According to Automotive News Europe, Head of German Sales Roland Krueger told German weekly Wirtschaftswoche, "We can imagine that Internet sales could be expanded to all models." This is the particular caveat that has traditional brick-and-mortar dealers so up in arms.
According to the head of BMW's German dealerships Werner Entenmann, "We told BMW in no uncertain terms that we cannot accept direct sales channels." Reuters reports that an anonymous dealer has gone so far as to pledge not to use the sales force in Germany. Krueger, for what it's worth, told Wirtschaftswoche that the "backbone" of BMW sales will still be traditional dealerships.

BMW 2 Series to wear 230i, M240i nameplates

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

BMW might not be done tweaking its naming scheme quite yet. Of course, at this point, the jumble of numbers on the back of the Bavarian models has no connection to what's under the hood. So there's not much reason to stop changing the monikers now.
As Autoblog reported a few months ago, BMW is slotting upgraded, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines called the B48 and B58, respectively, into the 3 and 4 Series. If this happens, the 328i/428i would become the 330i/430i, and the 335i/435i would turn into the 340i/440i.
Obviously, this change hasn't happened yet, but the same member of 2Addicts, a portion of the larger Bimmerpost community has now claimed that the 228i and M235i would get the same treatment. They would become the 230i and M240i, respectively, with the new engines.
