For more photos visit http://s102.photobucket.com/user/keveshoe/library/1974%20BMW%202002%20tii 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 805 990 2279 Other painted parts Gas tank (sandblasted, painted with POR 15) Pedal Box (sandblasted, rebuilt, painted) Steering Box ( cleaned, painted) White Cad plated Parts Headlight buckets , hood latch, wiper motor, hood hardware , door grease latch, door catch, trunk hinges, trunk latch additional parts Painted front plastic air dam Painted rear fiberglass bummber Many stock parts found in the photos 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.

Land Rover Defender V8, next Range Rover, new BMW M3 share the Nurburgring
Thu, Jul 23 2020From open-track days to 24-hour races, so many events are held on Germany's Nurburgring track that carmakers need to share the tarmac with their rivals to put new models through their paces. Industry pool days are normally closed to the public, but a seven-minute video reveals what Land Rover, BMW, and several others are testing. Posted on YouTube by StatesideSupercars, the video shows prototypes racing around the track in the mid-summer heat. Land Rover's engineers are busy putting the final touches on the V8-powered variant of the new Defender, which our spies have previously spotted testing in its home country of England, and they're developing what looks like the high-performance, SVR-badged version of the next-generation Range Rover due out in 2020. As we reported earlier in 2020, the hot-rodded Defender packs a 5.0-liter V8 between its fenders, though its horsepower and torque outputs remain under wraps. Unverified rumors claim it will arrive as a limited-edition model to avoid sending Land Rover's fleet-wide CO2 emissions through the roof. And, the video confirms chassis engineers have made extensive modifications to the SUV's suspension, partly to keep body roll in check. Walking down the pits, members of BMW's testing team are getting up early to put track miles on an enigmatic variant of the face-lifted M5, and on the next-generation M3. We've already seen the M5 in the metal, so why is it still camouflaged? One possible answer is that we're looking at the rumored CS version, which should receive a 641-horsepower V8 thanks to software tweaks and a better cooling system. The simpler (and more boring) possibility is that BMW isn't quite done testing the M5, and it doesn't want to waste time removing the black and white wrap. Your author regularly spotted i8 prototypes in full camouflage regalia months after its debut. As for the M3, much has already been said about its mammoth grille, which seemingly mirrors the one worn by the new 4 Series. Autoblog drove a pre-production prototype in June and walked away impressed. It receives an evolution of the X3 M's 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged to 473 horsepower, though selecting the optional Competition package will increase that figure to 503. And, fear not: The six-speed stick is coming back. Land Rover and BMW aren't the only companies playing on the 'Ring.
A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]
Thu, Dec 18 2014Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
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.
