1974 BMW 2002

118,000 miles

NO RESERVE

This car was recently restored by the owner who was obviously passionate about BMWs. I have been commissioned to evaluate and sell this car by his widow. I was trained by BMW of North America, am a BMW certified master mechanic who has worked professionally on BMWs for over 25 years. My first of many BMWs was a 1974 2002.

After thoroughly looking at the receipts and the car itself, I have found the following positive points:

  1. The frame up paint job is beautiful.

     

  2. The repairs to the floorboards and rear shock well were done professionally; no rust left behind; everything welded.

     

  3. The only visible rust is the typical rust along the bottom edge of the passenger door only (replacement door included; see #4 below).

     

  4. This car comes with extra parts:  2 front doors that seem to be rust-free, window regulators, front vent windows and frames, driver side mirror, one door window, oil filter, and service manuals.

     

  5. Except for the driver seat seams that are worn, upholstery is in great shape (see photos).

     

  6. Listed below are all the new or fairly new parts and modifications that were installed:

  • Weber DGAV 32/36 carburetor

  • Short shift kit

  • Removable moon roof

  • Rear shocks

  • ANSA muffler and straight pipe to replace resonator

  • Lowered suspension

  • H & R rear springs - progressive rate 29-201R

  • New front springs

  • Bosche high output coil

  • Pertronix electronic ignition

  • Bottle cap 14" wheels from later model 3-series

  • Pirelli HP 185/60 tires

  • Zender front air dam

  • Interstate battery and cables

  • Headliner

  • Door gaskets

  • Most window gaskets

  • Vacuum gauge - mounted to firewall

  • Everything on interior that is needed for air conditioning (no compressor, condenser or hoses)

  • Emergency brake cables

  • Carpet

  • Most metal brake lines and some rubber lines

  • Front brakes

  • Rear brakes

  • Dashboard

     

This car handles really well, tracks well, feels very tight, starts and runs great. (no smoke)

Even though it shifts perfectly, the transmission output and layshaft bearings are noisy. I believe the owner planned on replacing this 4-speed with a 5-speed transmission.

The interior light switches are missing.

There may be other improvements that I have not spotted.

If I didn't have so many BMWs myself, this car would not be listed on Ebay :) It would be in my garage!

Non-refundable deposit of $500 required to be paid within 48 hours of end of auction through Paypal. Deposit will be credited toward price of car. Payment (by certified check or cash only) must be made and car picked up within 10 days after auction closes.

NO RESERVE

GOOD LUCK!

BMW M1 really was the Ultimate Driving Machine

Thu, 29 May 2014

Life giving you lemons? Make lemonade. That's the spirit in Munich that lead to BMW producing the only mid-engined sports car in its 98-year history. The project resulted from a collaboration with Lamborghini (now owned, incidentally, by arch-rival Audi) to meet Group 4 homologation requirements. Lamborghini withdrew, the FIA changed its rules, but BMW built it anyway.
Arguably one of Giorgetto Giugiaro's finest designs, the M1 packed a 3.5-liter inline-six, driving 273 horsepower to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual. The Procar racing version turbocharged that output up to 850 hp and attracted the top drivers in a one-make F1 support race series.
Over the course of three years, the Bavarian automaker only built 456 examples of the M1, and for BMW enthusiasts, there's no vehicle more coveted. But don't take our word for it - let Petrolicious tell one noteworthy owner's tale in the video below.

Translogic 182: CXC Motion Pro II Racing Simulator

Thu, Aug 13 2015

Translogic gets some seat time in the CXC Motion Pro II to test if the high fidelity racing simulator can impact our host's real-life track times. Host Jonathon Buckley hits the track at Auto Club Speedway of California in a 2015 BMW M4 to put down a baseline lap time before his virtual training session in the Motion Pro II. After learning the lines of the track in a simulated setting, Jonathon returns to the track to put his skills to the test. "We designed it, originally, as a professional training tool for race car drivers," says CXC Simulation's founder and president Chris Considine. "Make it authentic. Make it real." The Motion Pro II boasts "thousands of cars and track models," ranging from street cars, to rally and off-road vehicles. Will this hyper realistic racing simulator help Jonathon improve his lap time?
