1974 Bmw 2002 Tii - Very Clean - Survivor - All Original - Matching Numbers on 2040-cars
Fort Worth, Texas, United States
You are contemplating the purchase of one of the most iconic vehicles ever to roam the face of this earth.
Yes, you are looking at the legendary BMW 2002 tii, the car that saved BMW and set the standard for small performance sedans. Find any legitimate automobile-related "best of..." or "greatest ever..." list and it will likely contain the BMW 2002tii. It is just that significant of a car. About this particular example: It is an original, matching numbers tii. Prior to my purchasing the car, it was solely owned by an active duty officer in the U.S. Air Force (YES, it was a one-owner car!!!) With it's owner being in the Air Force, the car traveled around quite a bit. Purchased in Fort Worth, Texas, the car has service records from Georgia, Florida, California, and Hawaii. Previous owner took VERY GOOD care of this car. Did have top-end work and the engine honed and re-ringed at about 60,000. Receipts show lots of newer parts (radiator, drive shaft, fuel pump) and continuous maintenance. When I purchased the car, it had just been brought out of a 9 year hibernation. It ran but the tires were crap and one of the brake calipers was frozen. I bought the car because there is VERY LITTLE RUST on this car. There is some on drivers side (jack fixture) and around the rear window but compared to what other cars deal with, this is insignificant. The frame rails and rockers are SOLID. The shock towers in the rear are SOLID. Interior is in outstanding condition. One SMALL tear in the headliner. NO TEARS in the seats. Carpet is not torn but is faded. Dash is in outstanding condition. A couple very small cracks where the gauge surround levels out but no other cracks. Paint is in very good condition. Car is currently missing belt trim on driver's front fender and I removed the lower rocker molding to get pics. Both are included with car. Since owning the car, I have completed the following work: 1. New Tires (Kuhmo Solus) 2. Rebuilt the entire brake system. This was not just a brake job - I refurbished or replaced almost every part of the system. Work included: a. new BMW rotors3. Inspected / Refurbished fuel delivery system - Here, I inspected gas tank, cleaning pick-up screen, replaced all rubber fuel lines (mostly with BMW parts), replaced the main fuel filter in the engine bay, inspected screen in fuel pump (not there), replaced all three rubber isolators for fuel pump assembly, placed another fuel filer between tank and pump. Tank was immaculate. 4. Rebuilt the front end of the car - this included new tie rods, new center link, new idler bushings (blue BMW), new subframe bushings for connecting link, new sway bar bushings, new Boge strut inserts, new BMW foam bumpers, all hardware yellow cad plated. 5. Replaced lots of miscellanous stuff - rubber bellow from air filter to throttle body, new rubber washers for air cleaner assembly, new air filters, new battery, recent oil change with Brad Penn Green Oil, BMW oil filter, new shifter knob, and probably some things I cannot think of. 6. New plugs, rotor, distributor cap, plug wires 7. Flushed cooling system, replacing coolant with BMW smurf juice. Bottom line, this car is a driver. It stops VERY well, shifts great, and runs quite well for not having had a proper tune up. Lots of pictures so you can get a sense of how solid this car is. If you have any question, let me know and I will be happy to get back with you. Included with car: 1. New cooling and heater hoses and thermostat 2. Ireland Engineering Pedal Rebuild kit 3. BMW foam cover for pedal box (under car) and rubber isolating pad (inside of car) 4. Blunttech heater valve rebuild kit 5. Oil filters 6. Factory Service Manual (2 volume set) |

BMW mulling potential 9 Series production
Mon, Jan 5 2015Nine months may be long enough to bring another human being into the world, but it may take BMW a bit longer to make up its mind on the production of a potential 9 Series model. The idea was first mooted when the Bavarian automaker presented the Vision Future Luxury concept at the Beijing Motor Show last year. Billed (not unlike rival Audi's Prologue concept) more as a design study than a pre-production concept, the Vision Future Luxury show car nevertheless took a larger form than the 7 Series, prompting speculation that a new flagship sedan could be in the works. The better part of a year later, such a decision has reportedly yet to be taken, but over at BMW Blog they're reporting that the automaker's incoming chief executive Harald Kruger is a fan of the idea and could give it the green light after he takes the helm in May. If approved, the model likely to be dubbed 9 Series would reportedly compete with the Mercedes-Maybach S600 – but then that model was earmarked to take on the Rolls-Royce Ghost. BMW has typically been careful not to overlap with its Rolls-Royce division, but considering how it's also been going downmarket with front-drive models to close the gap to the Mini brand, we wouldn't be all that surprised to see the 9 Series positioned maybe just below the next-generation Ghost and developed alongside it, taking a page out of rival VW's playbook. Volkswagen has, after all, made a brisk business out of sharing platforms and slicing market segments between the various brands under its umbrella. And while BMW is nowhere near as large, its new leadership could find new ways to increase its market share.
Electrified BMW X1 spotted testing
Tue, 09 Apr 2013So here's something interesting. This might look like an ordinary BMW X1, but take a closer glance - those stickers on the side read "hybrid test vehicle," and around back, there doesn't appear to be a tailpipe at all. But does this mean that BMW is working on a straight-up all-electric version of its smallest crossover? Let's hypothesize for a moment.
Just because we can't see a tailpipe in these photographs doesn't mean there isn't one somewhere under there. And while those hybrid stickers are an indication that there's some sort of electrification going on underhood, it could just be for a forthcoming gasoline-electric version of the X1. Lexus recently confirmed it would be bringing a small hybrid CUV to market that will compete in the X1's space, so perhaps BMW is working on another powertrain option to offer when its littlest crossover gets refreshed.
Also consider that Toyota collaborated with Tesla to bring back the RAV4 EV, which would sort of compete with the X1, so it also stands to reason that perhaps this is an early test mule for a larger all-electric vehicle in the upcoming, eco-minded BMW i range. Our spies seem pretty confident that the prototype seen here is indeed an all-out EV, but we just can't say with certainty without more evidence.
