This Auction is for a 1974 BMW 2002 Tii

THERE ARE NO Tii PARTS ANYWHERE ON THE CAR, (standard 2002 parts only)

This car is in awesome condition and has nothing to hide as you will see in the photos.  It is a California car that has not been on the road since 1994.  I have since been to the DMV and have paid all the back fees and penalties, giving this car a CLEAN TITLE AND CURRENT REGISTRATION.  The goal of this build was to make the "Modern man's Tii".  To fulfill this goal a M42 engine and 5 speed manual transmission was purchased.  The car started out as a almost complete car minus some interior parts. Every part of the car was strip off and boxed away leaving only a rolling shell.  From here the car was examined for rust which it had very little of and was all patched using BMW patch pieces for the parts that needed help.  Additionally all the belt trim holes, molding holes, reflector holes and bumper holes were welded shut.  Finally a custom TIG welded roll bar was installed in the car for increased body stiffness and safety for that possible track day.  Before being sent to the paint shop all body panels were removed from the car ( doors, hood, trunk lid, and sunroof).  Also the engine bay and trunk were both sandblasted to ensure a quality job would be performed in the difficult areas.  While the car was at the paint shop the Suspension was being modified to match the spirit of the car. 

The front suspension was completely disassembled.  The sub frame was reinforced at the common cracking spot located at the engine mount.  All suspension pieces were sandblasted then hand painted with POR 15 to ensure ultimate durability and a nice clean finish ( a hammer has no chance of removing this paint).  The sub-frame was re-installed with factory rubber bushings, none of that polyurethane crap that's too stiff and squeaky.  Also during the removal process all bolts from the entire car were sent to the platers to be cleaned and zinc plated for corrosion resistance and sex appeal.  The sub frame was re-assembled using these bolts.  The Front struts on the car were removed and front coilovers were installed in their place.  The coilovers feature a shortened strut, adjustable collar for ride height adjustment, Eibach 300lb springs, Bilstien heavy duty shocks and an extra degree of camber built into them.  The strut bearings are also attached to a fixed camber plate adding an additional half degree of camber.  The stock hubs were removed and factory E21 Hubs were installed in their place.  This installation allowed for the front big brake conversion to be installed and features 10 in vented rotors and four piston Volvo brakes .  Everything was assembled on shop floor and awaited its fresh new body.

The rear suspension has a similar story to the front in that all the components were removed, sandblasted and painted with POR 15.  Once removed the rear subframe was modified to allow for the adjustable camber and toe package to be installed.  This will allow the owner to take out some of the excess camber that results from lowering the rear of the car.  The rear of the car still lacks decent shocks and springs.  Also the rear differential is a stock 2002 open.  The brakes in the rear were also upgrade using the E21 10 inch backing plates and drums.  Finally everything was re-installed using the newly cleaned and plated bolts. 

The Tii engine from this car was removed and a 1993 M42 motor out of a 318i was purchased.  This motor produces more HP than the tii ( about 140 total) with the addition of electronic fuel injection instead of mechanical.  The Motor, 5 speed manual transmission, radiator, header pipe, computer and wiring harness have all been acquired and are included with the car.  The motor showed good leak down numbers, all under 5%,(very tight), although it has not been started yet.  All Tii brackets from the engine bay have been removed to allow for this engine. 

The current condition of the car is as you see it in the photos.  The car is a rolling shell with beautiful and smartly designed race suspension.  The car was set up to be the ultimate street car, show car, and fun Sunday track car when the occasion arose.  It is unfortunate that I will not be able to complete this car as many long hours and money have been invested.  I would love to complete the car but time and money have brought this build to a halt.  This would be a perfect build for someone with marginal skills.  The hard parts are done, and have been done well as can be seen.  If you have any questions about the car please feel free to ask.


Thanks Keve

The paint has one spot on the car that got eaten by the buffing wheel during color sanding and finishing.  About 100 dollars in damage.  I recommend the buyer fixes this when the car is finished as it will be very likely that the car will receive another scratch or two during the build process.  For photos of this spot please email me.


Shipping

I am willing to ship the car anywhere a buyer might like, although I would require that the buyer make all the arrangements.  I also recommend that the buyer if interested stop by and look at the car before purchasing if all possible.

BMW's Quandt family in hot water over Merkel campaign contributions

Sun, 20 Oct 2013

The mysterious and elusive Quandt family is in hot water again, nearly two years after its Nazi connections during World War II were exposed. The German family's patriarch, Herbert Quandt, nearly single-handedly saved BMW from being bought out by Daimler-Benz in 1959. Now, three living family members own nearly half of the German brand, and stand accused of buying votes with donations to the party of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, mere days ahead of a European Union vote that would cap vehicle emissions.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union accepted three donations, one from each shareholding member of the Quandt family, totaling 690,000 euros ($935,000), on October 9. The CDU, for what it's worth, claim the donations weren't related to any political decisions and that the family have been donors for years. A Quandt family spokesperson, meanwhile, said that the family had been waiting for Germany's September 22 elections to pass before making a large contribution to the CDU.

Foreign automakers pay from $38 to $65 per hour to non-union workers

Sun, Mar 29 2015

As leaders for the United Auto Workers gather in Detroit for their Special Convention on Collective Bargaining to work out the negotiating stance for this year's new labor agreements with the Detroit 3 automakers, what they most want to do is figure out how to eliminate the two-tier wage scale. However, the lower Tier 2 wage has allowed the domestic automakers to reduce their labor costs, hire more workers, and compete better with their import competition. As it stands, per-hour labor rates including benefits are $58 at General Motors, $57 at Ford, and $48 at Fiat-Chrysler – a reflection of FCA's much greater number of Tier 2 workers. The Center for Automotive Research released a study of labor rates (including benefits) that put numbers to what the imports pay: Mercedes-Benz pays the most, at an average of $65 per hour, Volkswagen pays the least, at $38 per hour, and BMW is just a hair above that at $39 per hour. Among the Detroit competitors, Honda workers earn an average of $49 per hour, at Toyota it's $48 per hour, Nissan is $42 per hour, and Hyundai-Kia pays $41 per hour. The lower import wages are aided by their greater use of temporary workers compared to the domestics. Automotive News says the ten-dollar gap between those foreign camakers and the domestics turns out to about an extra $250 per car in labor, which adds up quickly when you're pumping out many millions of cars. That $250-per-car number is one that, come negotiating time, the Detroit 3 will want to reduce, as the UAW is trying to raise both Tier 1 and Tier 2 wages. Another wrinkle is that the domestic carmakers are considering the wide adoption of a third wage level lower than Tier 2. Some workers who do minor tasks like assembling parts trays kits and battery packs already make less than Tier 2, but the UAW will be quite wary about cementing yet another wage scale at the bottom of the system while it's trying to fight a bigger battle at the top.

BMW X4 M40i caught production-ready

Wed, 22 Oct 2014

It seems like BMW is pretty committed to this whole X4 thing. Aside from the current xDrive28i and xDrive35i, we've captured a round of spy photos showing what our spy shooters tell us is a more dynamic M40i model.
The higher-performance hunchback follows in the footsteps of BMW's other sub-M cars like the M235i. In fact, much like the high-po 2 Series, the M40i is expected to make use of a 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-cylinder, developing 365 to 375 horsepower.
Aside from that, the rest of the X4 M40i fits the brief of other near-M models, with a more aggressive body kit, larger wheels, firmer suspension and brawnier brakes. Expect some mild tweaks inside, too, including sportier seats and an M-specific steering wheel.
