A 1974 BMW 2002 series vehicle for sale! A great collector's item and a perfect project for restoration! It is a 4-speed manual transmission.

I bought this car back in 2006, in the hopes of restoring it one day, but unfortunately I've fallen on hard times, and I simply don't see myself being able to afford to do this anytime soon.

What it needs:

- Body work (obviously): It has a few knicks and dings, but it's nothing really major.  There is a dent on the passenger-side door. The driver-side mirror is cracked and needs to be replaced.  See pictures.

- A new windshield. The current one has two vertical cracks, a large one on the passenger side, and a small one on the driver side.

- New brake rotors and pads. I currently downshift and slow down, even sometimes using the emergency brake; they are barely functional and they don't stop on a dime. This is a priority and it's very important to get these replaced as soon as possible!!!

- Redo the interior of the car. This is not a priority, of course, but if you're looking to restore the car to a collector's item, you may want to do this when you get a chance.

- Replace the hazard/4-way switch. The current one is not functioning, but you can buy one of these online at Bavarian Autosport or other sites and it's around $60.

- There's no air-conditioning installed in the car. I just open the windows and sometimes the sun roof, but it's still hot as hell in Arizona!!!

- The passenger side door doesn't lock from the outside; needs to be locked from the inside.

- Starting up the car is usually not a problem; since this is a 39-year old car, and it doesn't have a choke switch, in cold weather, it usually takes a few turns before the thing starts up. In summer or hot weather, it usually starts up right away. 

- Current mileage unknown, because it only goes up to 5 digits.  No idea how many times the odometer has rolled over since 1974.

Other than that, the car itself runs just fine. I still use it to commute to and from work in North Phoenix, about 50 miles each way.

I do get a lot of compliments about the car from friends and strangers alike, that it's a classic, and it's a nice car, in spite of its age and looking rough on the outside. I love the car, but I simply just cannot afford to restore it at this time. I didn't realize until much later that this is a costly luxury.

In any case, I hope someone out there would like to take this car and turn it into something nice later on. If you happen to purchase the vehicle from me, and restore it, I ask that you please take photos and send them to me. I'm really curious how it turns out later.

Thanks for your interest and good luck!

BMW M4 Convertible poised for Goodwood unveil

Sat, 22 Mar 2014

It shouldn't be a shock that BMW is working on a convertible version of the M4. Not only have we caught it testing twice, but this is an automaker that seems willing to build a vehicle for nearly every buyer's needs. Evo claims that the high-performance droptop is going to debut at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed in England from June 26-29.
Judging from the spy shots we've seen, the M4 Convertible will consist of a retractable hard top like the 4 Series cabrio. Other than the roof, there aren't expected to be many changes from the coupe. The engine will be the same turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, but the added weight of the roof and its mechanism may take a small bite out of performance.
We spoke to BMW USA about the rumor and were told that it has no comment at this time. After the M4 Convertible, Evo claims that BMW is working on a M4 Gran Coupe. How that would be all that different from an M3, isn't exactly clear.

BMW 02 Series mini-documentary makes us fall in love all over again

Sun, 24 Mar 2013

BMW's current reputation of building Ultimate Driving Machines can be traced back through history all the way to 1966, when the German automaker introduced the world to its 1600-2 two-door at the Geneva Motor Show. The car's name was simplified in 1971 to BMW 1602, and it went on to spawn the 2002, one of the most famous BMW models of all time.
BMW looks back on its past successes in a video that you can see below. As the automaker itself says in the video description, "This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end." The 2002 would be replaced in 1975 by another legendary model from BMW: the 3 Series.
We'd be lying if we said we didn't long for something along the lines of the classic 2002 from BMW today. Since that doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon, join us in remembering the cars that helped make BMW a household name by scrolling down below.
