1974 BMW Model 2002
A Clean and solid 1974- BMW 2002.?Rust free. An all Original California car purchased new at Ocean Motors in Santa Monica, Ca. 11/1974. Has matching numbers with all original body panels and parts.
A rare and highly desirable internationally collectible BMW in a most desirable and very striking all orange original color paint with a matching black interior. ?Headliner is clean, with no tears. Runs perfect, feels and looks like new, all original, nothing customized.?an absolutely exceptional example of an original southern California car.?This is a great looking and driving1974 BMW model 2002.
The great visibility from the "glass bubble" cockpit really adds to the fun, and you can see everything really well. Growing up my children all drove the "pumpkin". ?The BMW 2002 was the high performance limited edition model (1972-74) of the 2002 model line which changed the automobile world forever with the introduction of an everyday compact 4 seater car with a measure of sportiness and sophistication, that along with BMW's legendary reputation for engineering and high quality construction, caught the attention of sport car enthusiasts the world over.?This car is an absolute joy to drive. Being very light weight, it is extremely peppy it is a blast to be behind the wheel of. If you've owned a 2002 you already know why they make such great drivers. They were used as track cars and still are in SCCA racing.

The dash is great, with an almost unheard of condition of no cracks, and no hardening. Headliner is excellent, with no tears.?
This classic BMW has been in my family since it was purchased new. I have the original sales contract, maintenance logs, sales brochure and glove box manuals in their original plastic sleeve. Also comes with the small BMW tool kit that came with the vehicle.
It has been garaged and is in great original shape. The engine and automatic transmission have been rebuilt and have few miles on them since the rebuild. The car has air conditioning but it needs to be recharged.
The car comes with lots of extra parts. The engine currently has a weber carburetor. Included in the sale is an additional weber carb and the original Solex carburetor. I have an additional Solex carburetor that can be used as parts to rebuild the original. Also comes with the original air filter. Lots of other parts including new chrome trim pieces that were never fitted on the car. I also have the original Blaupunkt stereo that came with the car when new.

The car was repainted a few years ago in its original BMW orange color. The seats have been reupholstered. Because the car has been garaged the dash has no cracks or dings. There are some negatives to the car but it runs great and is in original condition.

Does have minor leak to front transmission seal. Has small dent to left front fender. Has air conditioning but the unit needs to be recharged.

BMW ready to bring more i3, i8 plug-ins to US

Thu, Oct 9 2014

BMW has found a receptive audience for its first batches of plug-in vehicles in the good 'ole USA. The German automaker, which started selling its first mass-produced i plug-ins in Europe late last year, will send a higher percentage of those vehicles to the US because of strong demand here, according to Automotive News, which talked with BMW executive Ian Robertson. And the Americans might cause Bimmer to speed up production, to boot. BMW makes the i3 electric vehicle and i8 plug-in hybrid in Germany, and has sold about 10,000 units of the former and 280 of the latter worldwide. Since August, BMW has been selling about 1,000 i3s a month in the US (it sold just 58 i8s in September). The bigger story, though, may be that Bimmer has sold out of its US allocation of i8s through the end of next year. Pretty heady stuff for a car that starts at around $137,000. Currently, BMW builds around 100 i-series vehicles a day in Germany, and may speed up production of the i8 for the aforementioned reason. As for the i3, which comes with an option of a gas-powered range extender, we'd reported earlier this year that the waitlist for that model had grown to about six months. Our i3 First Drive report is here if you'd like to know what all the fuss is about.

BMW i8's three-cylinder sounds like it's shaping up quite nicely

Tue, 25 Mar 2014

We've run across some rather interesting news... or perhaps we should say interesting sounds. The folks from Bimmerpost have scrounged up a short video showing a preproduction BMW i8 running through a few gears in Sport mode at a quick pace, and if you were concerned that the somewhat eco-friendly nature of the upcoming German sports car would neuter its ability to stir the aural senses, fret not.
Judging by the lovely noise coming from the engine compartment of the i8 in the video, BMW's expertise in tuning high-strung, small-bore engines - remember, BMW Motorrad has quite the penchant for well-conceived motorcycle engines - has come through loud and clear. Now, it's worth mentioning that BMW's controversial Active Sound technology will be included with the i8, so the production car may not sound exactly like this version, which is running with the tech disabled. Owners won't have the ability to disable Active Sound on production i8s.
In related news, Bimmerpost reports that BMW will equip the i8 with an external Active Sound Design system to go along with its Pedestrian Protection System. That means those on the outside will likely hear piped engine recordings from the rear and a sort of "howl" from the front in order to warn pedestrians that the otherwise quiet (when running on electricity, that is) car is approaching. It will also feature technology that can stop the car before contacting a pedestrian.

BMW and Samsung team up with Galaxy Gear smartwatch that talks to your i3

Sun, 12 Jan 2014

Without a doubt, the most impressive thing that BMW showed at CES this year was a driverless M235i drifting flawlessly around a wet track at Las Vegas Speedway. However, that bit of robotic helmsmanship wasn't the only trick the German company had up its sleeve. Or, more to the point, on its wrist.
Taking a page from rival Mercedes-Benz, BMW demonstrated how a "smartwatch," in this case the Samsung Galaxy Gear, could be made to function usefully with a vehicle, in this case the BMW i3. Calling it a "research application," BMW showed off its BMW i Remote App on the Galaxy Gear; the app gives information about state of battery charge, available range and whether or not all the doors and windows are closed or open. Perhaps more useful still, the watch can be used to send a destination to the i3's navigation unit, adjust the climate control in preparation for a trip and can recognize voice commands. Nifty stuff, if not world-shaking, that could help tech-obsessed luxury buyers take a second look at the upcoming BMW EV.
Take a closer look at the watch in action below, or read thru the BMW press release.
