1976 Bmw 2002 Auto, Sahara Beige In Good Condition No Rust!!!! on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
I bought this car recently (about 8 months ago) with the full intention of keeping it for at least a few years. Didn't think I was not going to be able to spend enough time on the car (I have 7 mo old baby keeping me busy!). I've tackled a few small projects, which I will detail.
OK, this is a 1976 BMW 2002 auto. Last year of production for this classic. Pretty much stock as far as I can tell, other than small modifications like Weber 32/36 double barrel carb and most of the SMOG equipment removed. Engine runs strong, does not overheat, even in 95 degree Miami weather and stop and go traffic on I-95! Does not smoke or burn oil. A few tiny drops of oil here and there. Transmission shifts perfect. Will kick a little bit when R is engaged. I'm quite certain a new tranny mount will take care of this. Suspension is good. Needs new tie rods and possibly some bushings also. Brakes are fine. Matching Michelin tires with 75-80% life left. Interior is decent. Passenger side bottom has a rip. Drivers back a couple small holes. Rear seats are ok other than a repair done on the upper RH corner of the back. Door cards and rear panels are fine. New seat hinge covers. Both doors open and close perfectly fine. So do the windows and vents. Carpet is OK. Coco mats for the front only in great shape. Dash has a few cracks, but it's still very solid. Instrument cluster is working fine other than clock, wich is not. I have a spare cluster with a tach that I intended to replace but never got to it. This will go with the car together with a list of new and used spares which I list at the end. Glovebox is in good shape and closes good. Headliner has two rips. Otherwise clean and tight. I have an OEM headliner, pre-sewn. This will go with the car also. Both sunvisors are in perfect condition. The car is equipped with A/C. All the components are there but it does not blow cold. Compressor clutch does not engage. I did not spend any time figuring out what could be wrong. It may be as simple as a fuse, freon charge or a complete rebuild. Who knows. Blower works in all speeds. Radio is there but is not connected. Dome light works. all backlighting works good, inlcuding the dimmer and shifter light. All controls work fine. The body of the car is in very good condition. There is no rust other than some surface pitting in the paint, mostly on the roof. Shock towers are impeccable. Rockers are also perfect. With minimal preparation and nice paint job this car will look like a million bucks! Body is very staight! Trunk is very clean and there is no rust at all. OEM jack and tools are present. A brand new tool roll is inlcuded. Engine bay is clean. Picture does not show the windshield wiper fluid tank, but I have a used one with no leaks and new cap. Just never installed it back. As mentioned most of the SMOG equipment has been removed or disabled by previous owner. I removed all the unnecessary wiring related, which was left behind disconnected. New Optima battery 30 days ago. I cleaned, primed and repainted the batter bracket. New hold down rod. New grounding strap and positive cable (OEM). New headlights (Sealed beams) replaced 30 days ago. Parts offered with the car: Used set of door cards and one rear panel. Used instrument cluster with tach. Used but great condition OEM rims with hub caps. New OEM front licence plate bracket. New OEM headliner. New and used assortment of body clips/retainers. New thermostat. New fuse kit. Used sealed beam. New OEM LH rear light gasket. So, this is a very solid car. Fantastic candidate for a quick restoration project (paint, upholstery and other small things here and there). Don't expect a showroom car. This one is not! I have been driving this car 4-5 times a week for the past several months without a single incident. It's a daily driver as-is. This 2002's are going up in price weekly, so there is no loosing in buying a good solid one like this. Inspections and test drives are welcome and encouraged. Bring your friend, mechanic, father in law, etc. All this BEFORE you commit to buy the car. Ebay is not a game. Posting this costs real money, so don't play with me! Bidders with less than 2 positive feedback please contact me before bidding. Otherwise bids will be cancelled by me. Payment is as follows: immediate deposit of $500 by paypal. Balance no later than 5 days after auction by cashiers check of any bank with a branch in Miami, FL, or cash. I could accept Paypal or c/c, but check with me before considering this. Car is located in Miami, FL 33133. Driven almost daily to Key Biscayne, FL 33149. Will assist buyer with shipping. But all arrangements of transport will be made by buyer. All costs related to be paid by buyer. As you can expect this car is offered AS-IS, no warranties implied or expressed. FL clear title in hand to my name. To arrange for a viewing or test drive contact me at 786-999-4811 or e-mail me. |

Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
Why won't automakers slap on a turbo badge anymore?
Thu, Sep 10 2015Where have all the turbos gone? Not the actual pieces that go in the engine, mind you, those are everywhere these days as automakers downsize cylinder counts and boost efficiency and CO2 claims. But the turbo badges and fanfare are missing. Back when turbos were something to get excited about there was "turbo-driven," "turbonium," and "The Turbo Zone," among other silly lines. But now that basically every car is getting some sort of boost even on the lowliest trims, automakers are almost sliding in the turbos under the radar. Or if you look at some of the nomenclature, pretending they don't exist at all. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border. The latest automaker to hide that it has boosted the turbo presence is Porsche with the 2017 911 lineup. Even the standard Carrera models now get turbocharged flat-six engines, meaning the 911 Turbo models aren't quite as special as they once were. Porsche is in a sticky situation with this. The 911 Turbo, after all, signifies where the 911 family takes off from being a sports car and becomes the Ferrari fighter. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border, but now Porsche has crossed it and is trying to downplay the fact. There are a lot of exaggerations with displacement badges today, with claims the 2.0-liter turbo four in a Mercedes C Class equates to a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six to make a C300. Volvo is pretty far up there, too, saying an XC90 T8 means V8 power, even though it's a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged four with electric assist. I don't know why BMW can't just call the car a 330i Turbo, rather than inflating the numbers up to 340i. Saab tried all of this back in the '90s when it decided to turbocharge its entire lineup, from light pressure units all the way up to models actually called "Saab 9-3 HOT" (for high-output turbo). But then the brand deleted any external reference to the turbo under the hood and people wondered why they were buying a $42,000 four-cylinder convertible. And that didn't turn out well. Even though these turbo replacements often make more power than their naturally aspirated predecessors, they're very different engines. People knew something changed when they exchanged their leased 328i with a 3.0-liter six for a 328i with a 2.0-liter turbo four.
Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup
Wed, Jun 28 2017HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.
