 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 rotors
b. original calipers - rebuilt with BMW kits
c. BMW pads
d. BMW hardware
e. BMW hoses (front and rear)
f. NEW BMW tii brake master cylinder (including new plastic elbows and grommets)
g. New hoses from fluid reservoir to master cylinder
h. New Brembo disk
I. New ATE (original spec) wheel cylinders
j. New rear shoes (Ireland Engineering Budget - same he runs on his race cars)


3. 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)

Comparison test: 2019 Acura RDX vs. compact luxury SUV competitors

Fri, Jun 1 2018

Truth be told, if we were to compare the all-new 2019 Acura RDX with those compact luxury crossover SUVs it would most likely be cross-shopped against, you'd be looking at a different list. Even Acura admits that Lexus and Infiniti are the most likely bogies, but with the 2019 RDX, Honda's luxury brand is attempting to attract those customers who think as much with their hearts as with their heads. And for the most part, those folks have been buying from German brands: the Audi Q5, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. So, to show how the new RDX compares to them, Acura actually provided examples of each during the recent press drive along with a Volvo XC60. All were determined to have greater emotional appeal than the last RDX, and we would certainly agree. For, as much as the previous-generation RDX made sense on paper, it was really hard to get excited about it. And when you're paying extra for a luxury vehicle, shouldn't you get a little excited? Well, as luck would have it, Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski and I were on hand in Whistler, British Columbia, for the press launch. We didn't have an abundance of time in each RDX competitor, but in conjunction with our usual comparison chart, our impressions should provide a good first taste of how the new RDX compares. Performance and fuel economy Contributing Editor James Riswick: On paper at least, the RDX is gutsier than its comparably powered European rivals. It also weighs the same or less, which logically should mean it'll be the quickest in a straight line. During my brief drives, though, I'm not sure it really stood taller than the three Germans. It at least matches them for smoothness, which is something that can't be said about the Volvo. Fuel economy is lower than them all when you consider all but the Mercedes come standard with all-wheel drive. It's also worth noting that all the competitors are available with engine upgrades, and unless Acura's forthcoming resurrection of Type S models includes the RDX, it should stay that way. Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski: Line 'em all up in a drag race, and I have a feeling the Acura would squirt away to victory. A good bit of that, though, would be due to its 10-speed automatic transmission, which offers a huge spread of ratios and fires off extremely quick shifts. In the real world, I'd guess fuel economy will be similar across the board, so I'm willing to call that category a draw.

BMW predicts US will be biggest i8 market

Sat, 10 Aug 2013

BMW will be showing a production version of its new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, and while we're quite excited about seeing the company's second i product in the flesh. According to a new report from Automotive News Europe, BMW is expecting its largest markets to be the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Notable for its absence in that list is everybody's favorite mega-market, China.
Automobilwoche, a German-language publication of Automotive News Europe, spoke with the i8's product manager, Hendrik Wenders, who declared, "The US will be by far the largest sales market for the i8." Wenders stops short of actual mentioning what percentage of i8 sales will be in the US, but does mention that it should arrive in showrooms around the world in about nine months. The simultaneous rollout will occur in 50 different countries.
Check back for our full coverage of the i8's debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until September, then check out our first drive of the i8 Prototype.

BMW working on X2 crossover

Thu, May 21 2015

Like the rest of the auto industry, BMW is going wild for crossovers, and the company's North American boss is wishing for supply to sell even more vehicles in the segment. It looks like the Bavarian brand is ready to feed all of this demand because the X2 reportedly has the green light for production, according to unnamed insiders speaking to Autocar. As its name suggests in BMW parlance, the X2 would be a five-door, high-style, coupe-like CUV that would be a smaller take on the X4 and X6. While these models aren't necessarily paragons of aesthetic beauty in the brand's lineup, their development is partially subsidized by other vehicles. The X2 reportedly shares drivetrains, electrical systems, and a platform with the next-gen, front-wheel drive X1 (pictured above). Sales in the UK at least could begin as soon as the second half of 2017, according to Autocar, and an M Performance version boasting up to 300 horsepower might even join the lineup in 2018. "We're finalizing the first prototypes now," a source said to Autocar, and a concept should preview the design before release, possibly at next year's Geneva Motor Show. BMW trademarked the X2 name in 2012, and rumors have continued to arise about it since then, including a possible design sketch. Related Video:
