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. |

BMW i8 and M1 reunited in mid-engined Bavarian retrospective
Mon, Dec 1 2014The BMW i8 may be the cutting edge today – it did, after all, just win our Technology of the Year award – but as rare an event as it is, it's not the first time that BMW has put out an extreme mid-engined supercar. The last time was in the late 1970s with the M1, a Giugiaro-designed, (partially) Lamborghini-developed piece of exotic machinery. The better part of four decades later, Auto Express has brought together an original M1 with its spiritual (if much more advanced) successor for the video comparison that was bound to happen. The question we can't help but ponder, initial sales success aside, is whether the i8 will mature into a classic in the same way the M1 has.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
BMW 2 Series to wear 230i, M240i nameplates
Wed, 19 Nov 2014BMW might not be done tweaking its naming scheme quite yet. Of course, at this point, the jumble of numbers on the back of the Bavarian models has no connection to what's under the hood. So there's not much reason to stop changing the monikers now.
As Autoblog reported a few months ago, BMW is slotting upgraded, turbocharged four- and six-cylinder engines called the B48 and B58, respectively, into the 3 and 4 Series. If this happens, the 328i/428i would become the 330i/430i, and the 335i/435i would turn into the 340i/440i.
Obviously, this change hasn't happened yet, but the same member of 2Addicts, a portion of the larger Bimmerpost community has now claimed that the 228i and M235i would get the same treatment. They would become the 230i and M240i, respectively, with the new engines.
