 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)

Next BMW X5 caught testing in the snow

Wed, Jan 20 2016

That's not taken long at all. Less than three years after BMW introduced the current X5, the German automaker has already kicked off winter testing for its replacement. The new Sport Activity Vehicle (that's BMW for crossover) has been spotted in snowy terrain, complete with heavy camouflage and extra driving lamps. Now, this is a mule, which means we're absolutely not looking at production sheetmetal. Instead, we'd wager the next X5 is hiding well beneath this swirly camouflage. Compared with images of the current car, it looks like we're seeing a longer front overhang, a shorter rear overhang, and a tighter dash-to-axle ratio. That makes us think the next X5's exterior dimensions might be just a smidge smaller than the current model. And that gels with at least some of what our spies are telling us. For one, they're reporting that the new X5 will be significantly lighter, as is the trend nowadays. It will also be more comfortable and techy, both of which would put it in line with the new 7 Series. Beyond that, though, we're in the very earliest days of BMW's next SAV. The debut of the fourth-generation X5 will likely come in 2018 as a 2019 model. Related Video:

Editors' Picks November 2023: Toyota Grand Highlander, Buick Envista and some lovely luxury vehicles

Fri, Dec 1 2023

It's been a month since we served you with the full lot of Autoblog Editors' Picks, and that master list is going to continue to grow as more new cars enter the market. For November 2023, we have a trio of SUVs coming in at various sizes and price points including the Buick Envista, Toyota Grand Highlander and Mercedes-Benz GLS. And if you're looking for a convertible sports car, the BMW Z4 is one that should make your shortlist, as it finds its way into this month's of Editors' Picks, as well. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in November that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited Hybrid Max View 25 Photos Quick take: The Hybrid Max is the one to get, but the Grand Highlander comes highly recommended for its added space, nicer interior and fuel efficient powertrains. Score: 7 What it competes with: Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Honda Pilot, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas, Mazda CX-90 Pros: Two hybrid powertrain options; exceptional cargo space; usable third row; refined and quiet ride. Cons: Expensive for the segment; the lesser hybrid powertrain is noisy and slow. From the editors: Senior Editor, Electric, John Beltz Snyder — "The Grand Highlander is a nice alternative to the standard Highlander for the Toyota faithful for its usable third row. The choice of powertrains is a huge boon, too, whether you want a fuel-sipping hybrid, or solid gas engine or a more robust hybrid with extra performance. YouÂ’re just going to have to pay a little more for it all." In-depth analysis: 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Review: A strong, new three-row contender   2024 Buick Envista 2024 Buick Envista Sport Touring front three quarter View 19 Photos Quick take: The Envista is one of our top subcompact SUV picks. It packs tremendous value into a compelling design that looks far more expensive than it is. A homerun for Buick.
