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 exec says public chargers not important for EV success

Fri, Jan 31 2014

What has BMW learned from years of electric vehicle test programs and working with Mini E drivers and the ActiveE Electronauts? According to BMW board member Herbert Diess, it's that public charging is not an important piece of the puzzle of making EVs a success. The way those early EV drivers used their vehicles told BMW that, "public infrastructure is not really very important because most people are charging their cars at home," Diess recently told Wards Auto. It's a message we've heard before. Diess' personal experience fits with this conclusion, he said. After driving his company's new i3 city EV for over a year, "not once have I touched public charging." Of course, the i3 does let the driver search for public charging stations and BMW has a partnership with ChargePoint, and Diess is not hinting that BMW is totally against the idea of public charging. Still, Diess' comments are not likely to find a warm welcome with everyone in the EV scene. An August 2012 UCLA study titled "Financial Viability Of Non-Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Stations" (PDF) clearly states: Adoption by consumers will largely be a function of the electric vehicle charging options available. Studies show that most EV charging currently takes place in the home (Carr 2010). Even so, in order for EVs to gain widespread consumer adoption, it is critical for an infrastructure of electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSEs) to exist outside the home. Even BMW's own electric drivers have been sending mixed messages. In 2010, a study of Mini E drivers found that 87.5 percent said a public charging infrastructure is necessary, though 75 percent later said they could manage without such a network.

2014 BMW i3

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

A Purer Than Ever Sort Of Driving Pleasure
This all started back in 2007 when the megacity urbanization trend hit full stride and BMW began brainstorming the 2020 future of mobility. The product was thus originally called the BMW MegaCity vehicle. Then the 'i' division of BMW was officially born in 2011, and we have since been exposed to various "leaked" images and official prototype unveilings of both this i3 and the i8 eco sports car. The latter (called i12 in the halls of Munich) was originally called the Concept Vision Efficient Dynamics and presented as a diesel-hybrid.
The time is now upon us for the market launch of the plug-in i3 (called i01 internally). The wider motoring public already has its opinions and BMW is listening to all of them, so there's a bundle of nerves around these limited drives of the i3 for a select few members of the media, Autoblog included. We came to an airfield outside of Munich and were handed an i3 test car to drive around a set course filled with blue- and white-striped cones. BMW tech experts were everywhere and some of the discussions around the various technical displays even got a little heated.

Best electric sedans of 2024

Wed, Jan 31 2024

While the American automotive trends tend to lean toward SUVs and trucks, and sedans seem to be dying out, there are some great four-doors out there in the EV market. They may not have the bulk, the high vantage point, or the storage capacity of the utes, but some folks still want a car that’s, well, a car. A sedan might not always have as much room to cram in a big battery pack, either, but they also donÂ’t weigh as much. They tend to be more lithe, sexy and agile. And theyÂ’re generally cheaper than their bigger brethren, too, though some of the full-size luxury sedans can still get well into six-figure pricing. If thatÂ’s not your thing, you can check out the best electric SUVs, but if youÂ’ve read this far, you probably enjoy sedans as much as us. WeÂ’ve tested quite a few, and these are the best electric sedans of 2024.   Best electric sedans below $60,000 Tesla Model 3 — $40,380 The Tesla Model 3 is one of just two sedans (along with the Hyundai Ioniq 6) to make it onto our list of best EVs under $50,000. ItÂ’s quite the value, too, with a starting price of just $40,380. ItÂ’s also fun to drive. Yes, it has some quirks, including too many vehicle functions residing exclusively in infotainment menus, but the Model 3's idiosyncrasies are easy to forgive based on its price and range, and they're things you can quickly get used to or possibly even appreciate. No wonder this EV is so popular.   Hyundai Ioniq 6 — $43,565 Of the sedans on this list, the Ioniq 6 is one of the most affordable (starting at $43,565), and one of the best. ItÂ’s quite efficient, with long driving range — up to 361 miles. Its cabin is creative in its design while being practical and comfortable. Interestingly, the Hyundai Ioniq 6 is the sportiest version of Hyundai and KiaÂ’s E-GMP cars, apart from the high-performance Kia EV6 GT. Its design, value, range, fast charging and other useful tech easily make it one of best electric sedans you can buy.   BMW i4 — $53,195 Though the BMW i4 is essentially an electric version of the 4 Series Gran Coupe, this EV sedan is something special. ItÂ’s packed with power and great driving dynamics in true BMW style. The rear-drive i4 eDrive40 is one quick car, but the i4 M50 is ridiculously fast. If you can get past the questionable nose and the iDrive 8 infotainment system, the i4 is an electric sleeper, and a performance bargain.
