1975 BMW 2002. I have owned the car for roughly two years, and when I purchased it I had it shipped here from Reno,
NV. The time I had the car it was garage kept and did not see snow. I did drive it daily April through October,
including multiple 5 + hour trips with no issues, besides dealing with people honking and giving the thumbs up or
hang loose hand gesture (this is a very common occurrence). The car is in excellent shape and has very little rust
considering it was in a dry climate most of its life. I recently took it to Nikolas Motorsports where the entire
engine was rebuilt, which cost roughly $7500. I have the receipts. The engine also has a Weber 38/38. (Engine has
only 38 miles on it, the odometer reads 55,xxx). I was also told that the car has a TII block and a hotter cam, but
cannot verify without cracking the head open.
Parts included in rebuild:
- Ceramic coated pistons and bearings (bored .030 over)
- Engine gasket set
- Rod bearing set
- Main bearing set
- Chain guide
- Head gasket set
- Crankshaft
- Piston ring set
- Rod set
- Head bolts
- Oil pump
- Rod bolts/nuts
- misc. parts
(All engine work has a two year warranty by Nikolas Motorsports)
In addition to engine rebuild, I also had them install a new driveshaft and install new suspension bushings
throughout the car. I have all the receipts from the previous owner as well (Reno Rennsport, etc.)
Other upgrades include Alpine stereo system throughout car with bluetooth, 15" Rota rims with nearly brand new
Yokohama S-Drive tires, Ireland Engineering stage II springs with all around, dash cover (that's a plastic cover,
not the original underneath which has cracking), new window seals in rear and door seals (which need to be glued
better) and that beautiful vintage wooden steering wheel. I will throw in all of the original springs and tires.
I'll even throw in the extra wooden steering wheel, although I feel this one looks better, don't you?
The bad:
I tried to take pictures of all the bad with this car, although none of these issues are severe or major.
- Tears in both seats.
- Speedometer glass fell out, but I do have it, just never got around to putting it back in.
- Rear of headliner is tacked in (in pictures).
- Hood has a weird cracking rust spot, which was POR15'd by previous owner. Rust and cracking has stopped, just an
eye sore.
- Misc. chips and dings on body (I drove it daily, as did the previous owner in Reno...isn't that what you're
supposed to do?)
- Right Window sits kind of funky when rolled up all the way, an easy fix I just never took it apart to make it
perfect.
- Missing washer fluid reservoir.
- Missing left license plate light.
I have tried to list everything about the car as thoroughly as possible along with many pictures, but would be glad
to take any additional pictures upon request.

Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
Watch two championship-winning DTM cars from BMW go head-to-head
Mon, 06 May 2013BMW recently had a little fun with two of the company's past DTM champions. Roberto Ravaglia and Bruno Spengler, winners of the 1989 and 2012 championships, respectively, both showed up at the world-famous Hockenheimring with their title-winning cars. The two swapped seats, with Ravaglia taking the helm of Spengler's BMW M3 DTM racer and Spengler sliding behind the wheel of Ravaglia's first-generation M3 racer in the classic BMW Bank livery, and headed for the track. Spengler got a 23 second head start in the first-gen M3 with Ravaglia chasing behind.
It didn't take long for the older hotshoe to sort out his new ride and close the gap. The short clip below follows the two as they make their way around the circuit, but the really interesting portion comes when the pair begin discussing what they like and don't like about each other's machines. You can check out the full video below for yourself.
BMW is the US auto industry's leading exporter
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Which automaker do you think ships the most cars out of North America, one of the Detroit Three or perhaps one of the Japanese automakers? Nope. It turns out the BMW's Spartanburg, SC, factory is the biggest automotive exporter from the continent in the United States. According to a recent profile by Bloomberg looking at the plant's 20th anniversary, Bimmer's southern ops sends out more vehicles than all of Michigan combined.
When the Spartanburg factory opened up in 1994, its success was hardly assured, largely because of South Carolina's relatively small economy at the time. However, BMW picked the site because of its proximity to East Coast shipping that made it easier to move engines and transmission in from Germany and export vehicles back to Europe, according to Bloomberg. The Bavarians clearly made the right choice.
Today, the plant has developed into an absolute powerhouse. The factory currently assembles the X3, X4, X5 and X6 and exports about 70 percent of the vehicles built there. Things are only getting better. BMW is investing $1 billion through 2016 to boost annual production from the current 300,000 units up to 450,000 and to build a new flagship crossover called X7. The expansion also adds a further 800 jobs there to take total employment up to about 8,800. Including the latest financing, BMW has put over $7.3 billion into the factory since it opened, notes Bloomberg.
