1976 Bmw 2002 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
|
I purchased this vehicle about 11 years ago from the California Bay Area. I have had most of the mechanical work done on the vehicle over that time period. That includes new tires, front end suspension parts, brakes, new battery, tune up, exhaust front to back. I have replaced most of the interior including very nice front seats from a "3" Series BMW. I also had the door panels replaced as someone had installed the "infamous" round speaker holes in the old ones. All window parts were replaced to make all windows operable. I have 4 Pioneer speakers (2 for back trunk area and 2 for under dash). I have not installed yet but a cd player/radio is also included. I have done this stereo installation in my other "2" myself and it worked out well. This one will need a little bit of console work. The dark blue carpet in in decent/good shape. It needs a new headliner (usually available on EBAY for $150 or so). I have chosen to wait on headliner as roof needs some minor dent repair and likely needs accessed from the headliner area. A couple of nice features include a wooden Nardi steering wheel (Oak I believe) and a very nice set of Borbet wheels. Other new replacement parts include, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump and fuel hoses. 4 Speed transmission and clutch seem in fine shape and shifts smoothly. Mechanically, I have it pretty well dialed in. Our Family has been BMW owners since 1988 and I believe we have something like 9 in the immediate family currently. I have just picked up 3 more this year (2003 X5 for the horrible winter we just had, A Dinan 2001 540I with 6 speed manual and M upgrade, and a daily driver 2003 530I), so I am starting to run out of both garage space and time to have the various restoration projects managed. Time for someone else to have some fun, no sense for this one to sit in the garage, by the way, if you are unfamiliar these 2002's handle in an amazing fashion, just a blast to drive. On the rare occasions that we have let go of "one" over the past 20 years, the buyers have been extremely pleased as we do not skimp on maintenance. Most of the work on this on was done by Rick Vaughn (Vaughn Motorwerks in Zionsville, IN) and by Thomas Gill at AutoBahn ServiceCenter in Greenwood, IN, a couple of top shelf 2002 mechanics.
This vehicle needs as it's last stage, some light exterior body work and a complete paint job. While the body is in very good overall shape, there is are dents in the top above the driver window as mentioned above, and someone has used a spray can to "touch up" some areas. They also used a black gloss spray can to paint most of the rubber molding on the bumpers and bumper trim. They put a really nice looking set of mirrors and fog lights on it just after they finished spray painting as well. Mechanically, the car runs great and when driven, there are always people wanting to take a look at the vehicle at stoplights, etc. The vehicle gets great gas mileage. I don't believe the heater blower motor works but I have never driven it in the winter so mostly a non-issue. This car has the original equipment Solex carb. which is very functional and pretty easy to start, not overly cold natured. My other 2002 has the Weber conversion with choke and it is very sensitive to start and get proper carb adjustment and to restart after you have come out of the grocery store, this one always starts right up when warm to any level!. Although the exhaust is new, it seems to have a bit of an exhaust leak that you can hear when warming up, likely needs a gasket or two. Both door handle locks will need to have cores put in, they are empty of lock cores at the moment. And I believe I broke the license plate light on the right side recently. My next step for this vehicle would have included a header, removal of California Emissions items, an Ansa Exhaust to give it a little sound and of course, the body work and repair or replacement of bumper trim, windshield trim, etc. These cars are becoming very rare to find in any type of decent condition, especially the Midwest. For under 10k when done, you can have a really fun little car that will very likely hold or increase in value. I would welcome interested parties to come take a look at and drive the car. I am glad to answer any questions that you may have. I have owned at least one Model 2002 since the end of calendar year 2002 and likely always will. Thanks for considering. |

World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
Lots of new cars were unveiled in Munich this week. Here's what you might've missed
Thu, Sep 9 2021The 2021 Munich Auto Show is happening this week and due to ongoing corporate travel restrictions, we remained firmly planted on this continent. So, although we can't tell you exactly what it's like inside the futuristic new Mercedes EQE electric sedan or fully appreciate the funky Volkswagen ID.Life concept, there's no shortage of details and analysis to provide. Obviously, as Germany's premier auto show in 2021, the cars unveiled were primarily from the German brands. We also focused mostly on the cars that might actually make their way to the United States, or at least inspire those that will.  2023 Mercedes-Benz EQE is an electric alternative to the E-Class While the EQS paved the way for Mercedes' electrified future, much like the S-Class before it, the EQE stands to be the car that will move in far greater numbers -- much like the E-Class before it.

Mercedes-Maybach EQS Concept View 4 Photos  Volkswagen ID.Life concept previews the city car's high-riding EV future Well, isn't this adorable? Though perhaps a tad derivative of the Honda E, Volkswagen's blocky little crossover EV nevertheless represents a handsome new direction for VW design. We like this better than the rounded looks of the current ID.3 and ID.4. 2021 Volkswagen ID.Life concept View 20 Photos  BMW i Vision Circular is a 100% recycled and recyclable hatch Behold, the next BMW 3 Series! Just kidding. Besides this, BMW displayed cars in person for the first time that it had previously only unveiled on the interwebs, including the new 2 Series and revised iX3. It also unveiled some bikes. BMW i Vision Circular Concept View 63 Photos  Audi's GrandSphere concept was designed as a road-going private jet Does Audi know what a sphere is? Cause this isn't anything like one. Still, it's quite a handsome thing, and as one of three Sphere-branded concepts, previews the next direction of Audi design (which is pleasantly reminiscent of two-decade-old Mazda design). No complaints here. 2021 Audi GrandSphere concept View 26 Photos  Porsche Mission R is a 1,000-horsepower electric monster Just like the Mission E previewed the Taycan, this apparently previews another future car.
Toyota Supra, Rolls-Royces, dozens of BMWs recalled for backup camera issue
Wed, Oct 9 2019Weeks after Nissan and Infiniti recalled more than 1.2 million vehicles for a potentially dangerous programming oversight in the backup camera settings, BMW has issued a recall for similar problems. The recall, which covers 257,481 vehicles, includes numerous BMWs, as well as two Rolls-Royce models, and the 2020 Toyota Supra. In total, the recall potentially affects 51 different products. This includes the 2018 BMW 540D, 2018–2019 BMW 640I, Rolls-Royce Phantom, 2018–2020 BMW 530e, 530i, 540i, M5, M550i, X3, 2019 Rolls-Royce Cullinan, 2019–2020 BMW 330I, 740Le, 740Li, 745Le, 750Li, 840i, M340i, M850i, X4, X5, X6, X7, Z4, and 2020 Toyota Supra. On certain BMW models, xDrive variants are also included. According to NHTSA campaign No. 19V684000, "The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rearview image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse." If there is no display image when backing up, drivers can't properly see, and the car no longer meets modern safety regulations. Specifically, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rearview Mirrors." The recall was filed on September 27, 2019, and BMW plans to begin notifying affected owners in November. BMW, Toyota, and Rolls-Royce dealers will update the vehicles' software, which should fix the problem.Â
