I'm selling my 1975 BMW 2002. It's an awesome little car and very fund to driver. I get thumbs ups all the time. I've owned the car for a year. The previous owner did a lot of mechanical work to the car. I added some cosmetic changes myself. I need to sell the car because I just bought a new car and can't afford to keep three cars.

Here is some of the work done by the previous owner. The car has only been driven about 2000 miles since the work was done.

Engine:

- Mostly stock.

-It has a Cannon 2 barrel intake manifold with a rebuilt Weber 38/38 double pumper carburetor with manual choke.

-Tii distributor.

-New distributor cap and rotor.

-New spark plug wires.

-Tii exhaust manifold with E30 M10 exhaust gasket

-New oem valve cover gasket

-New Ireland Engineering rubber motor mounts

-I installed a resonator and muffler combo. Sounds good when you step on it.

-The motor has a small oil leak coming from the front. Only about a drop or two a night. Haven't really took the time to check it out cause it's small.

-In the past couple weeks I've heard a ticking noise coming from the distributor. Not sure what it is. I have a spare distributor I'll include in the sale.

Transmission:

- 4-speed transmission (shifts perfectly with no grinding at all)

-New Z3 shifter w/ motorsport shift knob

-New guibo

-New 318i transmission mount

-Clutch feels real good and shifts smooth

Suspension:

-H&R sport springs

-Bilstein Sport shocks

-New strut tower mounts

-New rubber bushings at every joint

-New subframe mounts

-New sway bar endlinks with urethane bushings

-New control arms

-New tie rod ends

-New ball joints

Brakes:

-New master cylinder

-Rebuilt front brake calipers w/ new PBR pads

-New front brake rotors

-New rear brake drums w/ new shoes

-New rear wheel cylinders

-Stainless steal flexible brake lines

-The car stops very good with no pulling

Interior:

The interior is in good condition.

There are a couple of very small cracks in the dash.

The headliner needs to be cleaned but is in good condition.

I've installed a Sony mp3 Ipod multi media player with 2 6x9 speakers in 6x9 speaker boxes. I didn't cut any holes for the speakers. Instead they are sitting on the floor behind the seats.

Body:

-The car has original paint with great patina. The engine bay is very clean and rust free. There is no rust in the real problem areas such as the rocker panels, rear shock towers, and along the windshields. However there is some minor surface rust on the roof and trunk lid. There are no rust holes. It's very minor and easy to repair if you wanted to. I liked the look of the patina and prefer the car the way it is.

-In the right front fender behind the wheel there is a bad repair job.(see photo) It looks like it was dented and then pounded out with a hammer and touch up with some paint. I don't see and body filler. I just covered it up with the German flag stripes.

-I removed the stock diving board bumpers. I installed a early model chrome rear euro bumper. Installed a Ireland Engineering front air damn and left it flat black. Also put in a pair of Hella fog lights. The German flag stripes are vinyl stickers that can be removed very easily.

-The rims are 14 BBS style mesh pattern. The tires are ok but should be replaced in the next 4-6months depending on how much you drive.

-The headlights are Hella H4's

-All the lights and signals work on the car. The odometer works occasionally.

Overall it's a very fun car to drive. The suspension and front end have been rebuilt and it handle light a dream. The ride is very good. The car shift great. This car is ready to be a daily driver or a weekend cruiser. Mechanically sound.

BMW 2 Series shows us its insides

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

We've already seen the upcoming BMW 2 Series testing in both coupe and convertible body styles, and now we're getting our first glimpse inside the new entry-level coupe. Judging by the sportier exterior that we've seen in previous spy shots, this car appears to be equipped with an M-Sport package, so this is likely not what the base interior will look like.
Compared to the current 1 Series, this new coupe will have cleaner cabin design including fewer buttons on the center stack and an instrument panel with more of a dual-brow design. This car has cloth seats with what appears to be a suede-like accent trim and blue stitching, and the seat's pattern is mimicked on the door panel. The 2 Series will also have a better integrated iDrive controller that operates the widescreen display mounted atop the instrument panel in a similar fashion as what we've seen recently on the Mercedes-Benz A-Class and CLA-Class.
As mentioned about the exterior, the bigger wheels, blue brake calipers, dual exhaust outlet and subtle decklid spoiler all lead us to believe that this is the M-Sport, but it isn't sporty enough - inside or out - to make us think this is the rumored M2 model.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

2014 BMW 2 Series configurator drifts online

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

Monday marked the official, live unveiling of the 2014 BMW 2 Series. Not a company to rest on its laurels, BMW has unveiled the online configurator for the replacement to the much-loved 1 Series. Potential customers can select from either the 228i or go all-out and get the M235i. We shouldn't have to explain which car we've been building all day.
As a recap, a base 228i starts at $32,100 not counting a $925 destination charge. It includes 240 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque and, when optioned with the six-speed manual rather than the eight-speed automatic, a perfect 50/50 weight distribution (the 8AT balances at 50.3 in front and 49.7 in back). The M235i, meanwhile, starts at $43,100 (although you can't actually buy one for that, because the configurator forces you into a $1,450 Dakota leather interior). It offers up significantly more grunt, with 320 hp and 320 lb-ft from its 3.0-liter, turbocharged straight six.
Click over to the configurator and play around.
