This is a beautiful 2002tii. I looked for years to find one that met my criteria before buying this one. It has low mileage, is in restored and non-molested condition and has the very hard to find factory sunroof.

The car is Malaga (burgandy/dark red) with tan interior. Odometer reads x13,500 miles which seems to be accurate given the service and restoration history.

The car is very original and very stock with only a few minor tasteful modifications:
1. Wood (Nardi?) steering wheel (looks very nice with the tan interior)
2. Recaro seats (but upholstered in BMW material)
3. Rear seats reupholsered to match the Recaros
4. ANSA exhaust (I have the original exhaust if you ever want to swap it back)
5. Wheels (installed by the previous owner- many people love them, I would probably prefer stock wheels)
6. Bilstein shocks/coils


The car had a substantial restoration several years ago in original color. While I did not do the work, I have substantial documentation.  Total spent on PARTS ONLY (all of the body work was done by the owner) for the restoration and subsequent work is over $20,000. This includes the cost of a Stage One Engine rebuild by  Korman Autoworks. This car looks and drives beautifully. Very straight, no dents, no rust, NOTHING.

Everthing works other than the clock.

Dashboard in fantastic shape (two very minor typical cracks) and the console is perfect.

There are no holes/patches/etc. from speakers or audio equipment. The car does have the stock antenna but it does not have any audio equipment.

Full receipts for the restoration.

The car has had a few owners since the restoration and has been cared for as a 'driveable collector' meaning that it has been well maintained, garaged, and enjoyed.It appears that the odometer was reset at the time of the rebuild to zero. The restoration looks like it was done yesterday.

Key dates:

Restoration commences (disassembly)- 1988

Complete engine rebuild- 1990

Suspension rebuild- 1990

Paint/Body- 1990 (Glasurit Urethane paint in original color- Malaga code 021. All new seals, trim, etc where needed as part of this phase)

Carpet- 1991

TOTAL SPENT OVER 3 YEAR RESTORATION- $16,700

ORIGINAL RESTORATION WON 100 PT BMW CCA SHOW IN 1993- and the car looks the same today, other than what is listed below:

ANSA exhaust upgrade- 2007 (at xx8,000 miles)

Tires/Wheels- 2008 (at xx8,000 miles)

Recaro Seat upgrade- 2008

New window lifts and sunroof seal- 2014

This car sold on eBay Motors in 2006 for over $25,000 and has only been driven 5,000 miles since

NOTE THAT CAR IS ALSO FOR SALE LOCALLY AND OWNER MAY CANCEL AUCTION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE RESERVE BASED ON CAR'S AVAILABILITY.

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced

Thu, 17 Oct 2013

The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.

Takata air bag recall list

Tue, Dec 9 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration confirmed yesterday that 33.8 million vehicles with Takata airbags are going to be recalled. It's the largest recall in automotive history. The already record-breaking rate of automotive recalls this year shows no signs of slowing down, especially since millions of cars with defective airbags made by global supplier Takata are under ongoing scrutiny. The federal government is warning owners that inflator mechanisms in the air bags can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the bags are deployed. The faulty air bags have already been blamed for multiple deaths. How do you know if your vehicle is safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released an updated list of vehicles under recall. Sometimes however, the government's website will crash and the list may not be complete. Check your VIN at the NHTSA website to make sure. The list of cars affected by the recall has not been released, but seem to span multiple models over the years for many of the automakers.
