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.

Spirit Lake Cycles brings a new look to vintage BMW bikes

Wed, May 27 2015

It doesn't take a lot of room to work on motorcycles. In fact, Spirit Lake Cycles, which gets the spotlight in the latest video from Petrolicious, started out of a kitchen. Now, this two-man operation has created a small business to bring a custom look to vintage BMWs. The company is best known for a bike that it calls the CBMW. Based on an R90/6, the name comes from the cycle's Honda-sourced fuel tank. The streamlined design and white pinstripes lend the look of one of the Bavarian brand's own early creations, but the chopped fenders and under-seat exhaust show a much more modern style. Spirit Lake Cycles doesn't always go for such a highly modified design, though. The other cycles that Petrolicous highlights, including a gorgeous BMW R90S, appear far closer to stock than the show bike. The company says its motorcycles are meant to be ridden, and you can see the proof of that in this video.

BMW X1 spied in the snow, on the 'Ring

Thu, Mar 19 2015

The next-generation BMW X1 is moving ever closer to production, and it reportedly launches in Europe in June. With just a few months left of development, the Bavarian brand is making sure to get in as much work in as possible – as the shots above show. According to our spies, all of these pictures were taken on the same day, but BMW was running two simultaneous evaluations of the crossover in Europe. At the sunny Nurburgring, the company was doing high-speed tests on the famous track. Meanwhile in chilly Sweden, cold-weather analysis was happening. Regardless of the location, these are some of the least camouflaged X1s photographed yet. Based on the shots, it appears that BMW is evolving the compact CUV's design rather than overhauling it, but there are a few dashes of styling from the 2 Series Gran Tourer in the grille and headlights, as well. The 'Ring shots also clearly show off a panoramic sunroof. While these examples wear a lot of obfuscation at the back, it's easy to make out BMW's LED taillights. The X1 shares its UKL platform with the Gran Tourer and the latest Minis, but possibly offers all-wheel drive. It's reportedly going to be offered with a similar range of turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines, as well.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt named KBB "Best Buy," slow BMW i3 sales in Germany

Wed, Nov 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt has been awarded Kelley Blue Book's Electric/Hybrid Car Best Buy for 2015. KBB cited the car's electric commuter capabilities, extended range, acceleration, design and overall value as reasons to place it above the Nissan Leaf, BMW i3 and Toyota Prius. It works well in the real world, and doesn't leave drivers with range anxiety. Plus, it's comfortable, and a fun car to drive, according to KBB. Read more at Kelley Blue Book. The BMW i3 is seeing slow sales in Germany. BMW has sold about half the number of i3s it expected in its home country, with about 1,900 sold in the first nine months. BMW projected sales of 5,000 to 6,000 in the first year. BMW partly blames long shipping times for the slow sales, and the company is offering incentives in hopes of getting more people to adopt the electric car. In the US, BMW sold more than 1,000 units each month between August and October. Read more at Green Car Reports. Audi is pursuing new carbon-neutral synthetic fuels - or e-fuels - such as Audi e-diesel. Audi's newest project uses electrolysis of water to create hydrogen, which it then reacts with CO2 extracted from the air. The result is a liquid - called Blue Crude - full of energy from hydrocarbon compounds. The Blue Crude can then be converted into a sulfur-free synthetic diesel called e-diesel. This e-diesel can be used as a drop-in fuel, blended into fossil diesel for a more renewable fuel. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Uber is partnering with Spotify to allow passengers to choose what music they listen to during their ride. Users will be able to choose their own playlist that will be ready and playing for them when they are picked up. It offers a more personalized experience from the ride-hailing service, which, according to Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, is "nirvana" for music lovers. Paying Spotify users will be able to use the feature initially in London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Nashville, New York, San Francisco, Singapore, Stockholm, Sydney and Toronto.
