 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.

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker

Sat, 02 Aug 2014



There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.

BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod

Thu, 20 Jun 2013

Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.

Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform

Thu, 20 Feb 2014

BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
