Up for sale is my 1974 BMW 2002, sort of a barn find, I am the person who put it in the barn 10 years ago so it was not hard to find.
History
I purchased this car in March 1996, used it as a fun car, road rallies, club events etc. In 2003 my wife and I went on the road to travel so this went in the barn where it stayed until last week. I have title history back to 4/11/1980 but the oldest one with miles on it is dated 4/25/1989, it shows 58454 miles. When I purchased car it had 64813 miles, it now reads 67892 which I believe to be correct. Car as been stored indoors since 1996. So it is a low milage car. Time to sell. Car has not been registered since 2003.
Car is in running condition, I have driven it only 10 miles since I took if out of barn, RF brake froze up buy now seems to be working. Running a bit rough as it has a vacume leak at bottom of carb where it bolts to manifold, needs new gasket.
Engine, no known issues, the only modification that I am aware of is change to a electric fuel pump and weber carburator. On test run engine has some minor noice, took car to my machinic and asked his opinion. He did not feel that it was of any major concern, he felt that it was carbon build up and would go away. Will drive it some more this week and add comments.
This is not a show car but would be a daily driver which is what I purchased it for or if you wanted to restore it could be done.
Interior
Overall very nice condition, both front seats will need recovered. Picture of passenger seat shown, drivers about the same.
Two small cracks in dash, one nick on center console.
Door panels as well as rear panels are in good shape,
rear seat in good shape,
carpet in great shape.
Headliner in good shape.
Rear package tray in good shape.
Sunroof works without any problem.
Exterior

All lights work as they should, all lenses in good shape.
Body, this is a area that would need attention if you are going to show. It has rust repair by prior owner at some point and this needs attention, I have shown pictures of what needs done but it would include.
-lead edge of front hood,
-both rear wheel wells, arches,
-right and left front quarter in front of door.
-rear trunk under trim strip.
Deposit to be paid at close of auction, balance can be paid in cash when picked up. I can provide delivery at additional cost. Delivery would need to be paid in advance. Or your can arrange for commerical delivery.

BMW M135i vs. Mercedes A45 AMG in Euro small-lux throwdown
Fri, 19 Jul 2013BMW and Mercedes-Benz - please, please, please bring the M135i and A45 AMG hatchbacks to North America. For as long as we can remember, buyers in the New World have been forced to look longingly at Europe and Great Britain and the excellent super hatches that are so routinely offered there. And while we're quite content with the Ford Focus ST and Volkswagen GTI, having a 360-horse five-door with a premium, content-rich interior sounds quite nice.
Our envy for Europe has grown after watching the latest video from Drive, which stars Chris Harris, the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG and the BMW M135i. This latest battle between MB and BMW takes place on both road and track, with Harris providing a running commentary. If you're interested in the upcoming Mercedes CLA45 AMG, you should pay special attention to the section on the A45, as the two are essentially fraternal twins. While the video is a bit on the long side, it provides a comprehensive rundown of both cars, giving those of us in North America just a small taste of what we're missing. Check it out by scrolling below.
BMW against Merkel's female board member quota in Germany
Fri, Nov 28 2014There may soon be more women in power positions in the world of German business under a proposed law from Chancellor Angela Merkel's coalition government. If passed, the law would force large, publicly traded corporations to have female members make up at least 30 percent of their supervisory boards (which are responsible in part for business strategy) by 2016. In addition, all companies would have to increase the female proportion on their management boards, which conduct regular business. The law seems likely to pass next month. "We've decided to do this and it will happen," said Merkel in a speech about the new rule, according to Bloomberg. Women currently have just six percent of management board seats in the country. Big businesses in the country aren't on board with proposed law, including automakers. "BMW as a company doesn't believe in quotas," said spokesperson Jochen Frey to Bloomberg. "While we hold that opinion, we want and strive for diversity in our workforce in terms of gender, ethnicity and age." Currently, 25 percent of Bimmer's supervisory board is female, a bit higher than the national average in Germany of 22 percent. German car companies are hardly alone when it comes to having a paucity of women in positions of power. Honda only added its first female member to the automaker's board of directors earlier this year, and Toyota and Nissan showed similarly low numbers. A 2013 list from Fortune ranked many of the most powerful women in the auto industry as coming from North America.
Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown
Sat, 04 Jan 2014The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.
