My buddy, who knows this car much better than I do, suggested I add this:

1. Brand new fuel tank
2. Weber 32/36 two barrel Carb conversion. Waay better than the stock Solex. 
3. Exhaust manifold is NOT the Thermal Reactor! It's the typical air pump manifold, with ports sealed and air pump removed. 
4. Smog removal completed. Air pump, belts, manifold ports and other correct ports sealed. 
5. Stereo removed, but ready for new one. 4 speakers (2 in door panels, two below rear seats), antenna, wiring in place.

I also added 2 pics, the weber carb and the exhaust manifold.

I saw this car and fell in love with it...then I came to my senses. Time to pass it on to someone who has the time and desire to fix it up (a little or a lot) and drive it. I bought it from the original owner who is, literally, a little old lady in Berkeley. Her grandson did the selling for her and I think he was not completely forthcoming with all that was wrong with the car. The following is an excerpt from his CR listing:


1975 BMW 2002 in Good running condition. Currently a daily driver.

*The vehicle has a NEW water pump, thermostat & 320i Radiator for superior engine cooling.

If you look online you'll see the 320i radiator is a common upgrade.

*Recent rear brakes, full tune-up = cap/rotor/points/condenser/wires/plugs/fuel-air filter & oil change.

Pretty much everything is original. All the glass, seats, engine/trans, starter, etc. Is all original and in good working order.

The vehicle drives very good & has No major mechanical issues. However cosmetically she has numerous flaws. The interior is intact except for the center console. And the original seats/carpet is dirty.

The body has scrapes & one dent on the fender plus one of the marker lights is busted & another one is cracked.

The paint still shines (garage kept) but like I said, a dent, scrapes & poor interior.

All the lights work, all the gauges work except for speedometer, odometer works though. Heat works & she's actually solid enough to drive down to Los Angeles & back right now.

138k original miles. 4 speed manual transmission.

Pre-smog car with a solid rust free body. Owned by my 74 year old Grandmother in Berkeley since new. She just got a new Automatic 3 series Beemer. LOL!


My best guess is that the car was overheating so he did the 320i radiator upgrade only he forgot the little hose that comes out of the front of the water pump. It had a hole in it. Not knowing where the leak was he put stop-leak in it and sold the car. Somewhere along the line it overheated enough to mess up the head gasket.


Again, that last paragraph is just my guess. The little hose has been replaced and it runs really very well when its cold. When it warms up it loses some power and starts running funny. There is also intermittent steam from the tail pipe. A mechanic said “head gasket” but I’m not 100% sure.


Anyway, most of the rest of what the grandson said in the listing seems to true, except for the shiny paint. It has some oxidation as you can see in the pics. Also you can’t go to LA in it till you fix the motor.


Rust: other than in some scratches and such there does not seem to be any rust. From above the shock towers look good. I took a lot of pics under the car that I would be glad to send to you. I believe him when he says the car was garage kept. It looks too good to have been outside for over 30 years.


Most everything works except the speedo, but the odometer does work. The parking brake handle needs to re-attached to the floor. The center console is mostly gone (someone took the radio at some point). The lock cylinder is missing from the drivers door. This is not, of course, and exhaustive list. Please let me know if you’d like to see more photos. After you look through them I’d be glad to answer any questions as best I can.


She’s a project but she really is an awesome car and very fun to drive. The transmission and clutch seem very solid, she shifts very smoothly in all gears. The brakes work great.


I would be glad to help your shipper if needed.


Thanks for looking.

2014 BMW X5 priced from $53,725*

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

A month after the official curtain was dropped, BMW has seen fit to release pricing information on its new 2014 X5 crossover. The X5 sDrive35i, which is the first rear-wheel-drive version of the X5, will begin at $53,725 (*including $925 for destination and handling) while the traditional all-wheel-drive X5 xDrive35i will begin at $56,025. Both feature BMW's well-regarded 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo N55 engine with 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque.
The 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d (Have these convoluted names confused you yet?) is priced at $57,525 with its 3.0-liter diesel engine (255 hp and 413 lb-ft), and, finally, the TwinPower Turbo V8-powered X5 xDrive50i (445 hp and 480 lb-ft) will start at $69,125. Buyers looking to customize their X5 experience can choose from the Luxury Line, xLine or M Sport packages, plus Ivory White and Mocha Interior Design Packages. Regardless of which engine is chosen, the X5 will come equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For comparison, the 2013 X5 xDrive35i started at $48,425. That means the price has increased by over $5,000 despite not including standard all-wheel drive or by $7,600 when comparing apples to apples with similar six-cylinder engines and power to all four wheels. The V8 model increased by $4,000 and the diesel, interestingly enough, dropped by $100.

BMW, Ferrari, VW cars use tungsten mined by terrorists

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bloomberg Markets is reporting that BMW, Volkswagen and Ferrari have been using tungsten ore sourced from Columbia's FARC rebel terrorists. The extensive story focuses on Columbia's illegal mining trade and calls into question the provenance of the rare ore that is used not only in crankshaft parts production, but is also found in the world's computing and telecommunications industry for use in screens.
The ore is mined by the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia, or Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - People's Army), and exported to Pennsylvania, where it is refined. The refined ore is then sent over to Austria, where a company called Plansee turns it into a finished product. Now, it's important to note that we aren't talking about the world's supply of tungsten here. In 2012, Plansee's American refinery purchased 93.2 metric tons of tungsten, valued at $1.8 million. That's peanuts, with the entire Colombian tungsten mining industry producing just one percent of the world's supplies.
That doesn't make indirectly supporting FARC any more acceptable, though. BMW, VW and Ferrari are all committed to not accepting mineral supplies from the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is also in the grips of a guerrilla insurrection funded, in part, by illegal mining. The same commitment would figure to extend to Colombian mining, but as BMW points out, it's difficult for a multi-national manufacturer to know where every item in its supply chain comes from. A company spokesperson says as much, telling Bloomberg, "These few grams out of the billions of tons of raw materials passing through the BMW supply chain are of no practical relevance."
