 A "one-of-a- kind " "REAL FIND" ...More to follow


On Sep-01-14 at 17:25:51 PDT, seller added the following information:

This One-Of-A-Kind 1976 BMW 2002" is described as "highly refined" by the author in European Car magazine article (April of 1992) and  "a stunning runner more than able to vanquish contemporaneity performance cars". "An almost complete rehab"... "The exterior is exceptionally clean, the subtle restyling coming from a lowered suspension and 14in wheels, Suspension Techniques springs, front & rear in combination with Bilstein Sport struts and shocks".

I will attempt to highlight the the three page article on this car in bullet form:

  • Front strut brace
  • 22mm sway bars front & rear w/ red polyurethane bushings
  • tii front strut housings
  • tii dual piston calipers
  • Smaller rear slave cylinders
  • tii brake booster w/ master cylinder for additional line outlets to feed four piston on the front
  • Hard steel brake lines
  • Factory 25% slip differential with ring-and-pinion ratio of 3.64:1
  • Getrag overdrive 5-speed transmission
  • OE Bumpers shortened and lightened (quite noticeable reduced polar moment of inertia and improved overall handling)
  • Front spoiler
  • Cibie 100watt headlamps
  • Halogen brake light conversion
  • Factory sunroof
  • Factory Black Leather seats
  • Custom leather trim door pockets
  • BMW Formula One leather steering wheel
  • Black fascia instrument cluster incorporated from earlier 2002 using late model OE instruments
  • Added VDO gauges measuring boost/vacuum, oil pressure, oil temp
  • Clardy rotary air conditioner
  • Alpina dead pedal (a rare 2002 item)
  • Tri-Amp 700 watt stereo, with equalizer, subwoofer
  • Aviation grade lock nuts and bolts on forward portion of exhaust system
  • Bavarian Imports of Atlanta rebuilt engine w/8.0:1 CR Pistons
  • OE Camshaft
  • E-12 Cylinder head (has larger valves)
  • 12-lb Tilton aluminum flywheel
  • Sachs clutch assembly
  • Oil cooler, MSD ignition, tii ignition distributor
  • Exhaust w/Stahl headers
  • Custom exhaust / mufflers fitted for track
  • Camden Supercharger (installed during 1990"s)
  • Mikuni 40mm side draft carburetor
  • intercooler
  • All books and compete records
  • And more....

Note: It is not a happy car in the cold weather. It starts first crank in the spring, summer & fall but gets balky when the engine block is 40 degrees or colder. I am told this is normal for the old mechanics of such a car. I used a small booster when it was very cold. It always starts after three or four cranks and run great once engine warmed up no matter what the temperature. There are a few scratches in the exterior of sunroof that the pictures do not reveal (from when service repaired sunroof)

BMW maintenance plan no longer transferrable to 2nd owner

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

One of the best innovations in car buying in recent years is the rise of no-cost scheduled maintenance programs. Many people feel really anxious about taking their car in for service, and these deals help mitigate that somewhat. Obviously, it's not free for automakers to implement the offers, and now BMW is altering the way its four-year, 50,000-mile Maintenance Program works for some owners. "To keep such an offer sustainable we had to make a change," said Kenn Sparks, Manager of Business Communications at BMW North America, to Autoblog via email.
The original person to buy or lease the model isn't going to see any difference, but the program is no longer transferable to a second owner, unless that person is in the owners household. Those people include includes parents, siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, in addition to someone like a spouse or children. The original owner just has to advise BMW of new user. "The program change will affect 2nd owners and for them BMW is introducing an optional full-maintenance product that covers the vehicle up to 100,000 miles," said Sparks.

M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery

Fri, 18 Oct 2013

Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.

Xcar celebrates 100-year anniversary with Model T tribute

Fri, Jan 9 2015

Never mind the fact that XCar hasn't been making videos for the last 100 years, the British duo have gone all silent-moving-pictures in order to make their centenary case for the Ford Model T, a car that was already seven years old in 1915. It's not a review, but a mostly sepia-tinged look at the car that started the mass-market adventure by taking that biblical advice to be fruitful and multiply and populate the Earth abundantly. Since it looks like Xcar is celebrating some kind of milestone, we've also included another video below of the first Xcar review we could find, covering the BMW M1, from the much more recent past - circa 2012.
