 This auction is for a 1975 BMW 2002. Exterior color is Sahara (TAN), interior is tan.
Exterior;
Body has an older paint re-spray which I would rate as average, 10+ years old. There are scratches and minor pits, two minor dents in trunk lid and hood. No major dents or prior accident damage that I can see anywhere. Car is very straight, with amazing fit lines for its age. All panels are original. I cannot say "rust free" as it has been driven in the elements for 38 years, but the only signs that I can see are the bottom of the left fender below the rocker trim and possibly the lower right of the nose. neither of these spots has perforation. Car has a factory (Golde) sunroof which functions as it should and has new seals. Windshield has minor scratches, but is original, and has a new seal. Remaining glass is very good. Door seals, trunk seal are good. Left headlight is cracked otherwise lights are very good and all function properly. Bumpers are very nice with very little oxidation, a few minor scratches, rubber trims are very good. Trunk is very clean, minor surface rust spots in spare tire well, wheel houses are solid. Jack and lug wrench are present, no tool roll. Trunk panel boards are average. Pan and frame rails are very straight and rust free. Minor surface rust, however never re-sprayed or undercoated. Car has spent its life in New Mexico/Colorado. Wheels are alloys, tires are good, 50% tread.
Suspension/Brakes;
Bilstein HD shocks all around with Eibach sport springs, lowers car about 2". Front brake pads and rotors within last 5000 mi, rear brakes 70%, braided stainless flex lines. Stock bars. New center steering link, outer tie rods very good, no boot tears. New front track rod bushings.
Engine/Trans/Diff;
Engine is not original to car, earlier block with 121 cylinder head. Two barrel Weber carb with electric choke. Exhaust header, not sure of brand. Exhaust system solid. All hoses very good. Runs cool. Smokes a bit on deceleration. No smog bits. Runs very well, appears that cyl head has been rebuilt as it has an 87 date cast. No bad noises. Recent tune, valve adjustment.
Transmission is a four speed, shifts well, no noise or 2nd gear grinding. new trans mount. Driveshaft coupling (guibo) and center support bearing very good.
Differential is an open 3:64. Halfshaft boots good.
Interior;
Dash has one crack, right side of instrument binnacle. Grant wood rimmed wheel. Headliner is good, some dirt and minor staining. Seats have slip on covers, fronts are e21 Recaros, gray cloth, minor wear spots. Rear seat has lost horsehair and upholstery is fair. Door panels have speakers but are otherwise nice. Originally appears to have had A/C but was gone when I purchased it. Regular non-A/C console. Carpet is faded and shows marks from the original A/C console. Heater box recently rebuilt, reinforced valve mount, works properly, fan works with no squeaks.
This is a very straight, minor rust 2002. Very presentable driver with a sunroof. Nice suspension upgrades without being overboard. Runs, shifts and drives very well. Speedometers were atrocious, so exact mileage is unknown, but I think it is pretty close. Any questions, please ask.

2015 BMW i8 sets everyone's tongues wagging in Northern Michigan

Fri, 31 Oct 2014

Like few other cars we can remember, people want to talk about the 2015 BMW i8. Drive one, and you'll soon find out what we mean. They stop you at gas stations. They accost you in Walgreen's parking lots. They stream out of neighborhood bars, beers in hand.
At least, that was our experience this week during Autoblog's Technology of the Year testing. We had the pleasure of driving the plug-in hybrid BMW sports car up to and around Petoskey, MI, a resort town where seeing such exotics is rare enough, let alone in the off season. It made for some interesting conversations - so we began writing down some of the comments the butterfly-doored coupe inspired. Here's a sampling:
"Wanna race for pinks? I'll go easy on you." - Acne-covered teenage pizza delivery driver in a sad-looking Ford Taurus parked at a Valero gas station near Grayling (which incidentally didn't actually have gas).

Recharge Wrap-up: No Tesla Gigafactory deal with California, BMW i3 recalled

Thu, Sep 4 2014

Before the Nevada announcement was hinted at, a deal to incentivize a Tesla Gigafactory in California fell through. Tesla was looking for around $500 million in incentives, which the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development was willing to offer in tax breaks along with making the permit and environmental processes easier. According to Senator Ted Gaines, there still remained "a gap between what Tesla wanted and what California was willing to offer," the contents of which were undisclosed. California could still be chosen for another of Tesla's battery plants, should those ever materialize. Read more at The Desert Sun. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will consider allowing a bit of compliance flexibility to its Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) regulations for some automakers. CARB will hold a hearing to discuss giving intermediate volume manufacturers (IVMs) - carmakers that do between 4,501 and 60,000 new vehicle sales in the state - some leniency catching up to the larger manufacturers when it comes to clean vehicle production. The ZEV regulation changes take into account the amount of revenue IVMs have available for developing the cars, particularly plug-in hybrids. Read more at Green Car Congress or see the notice from CARB here. Certain units of the BMW i3 are subject to an airbag recall. For cars built March 31, 2014, the passenger airbag inflator may have been assembled incorrectly, which could keep it from deploying when needed. Owners will be notified by BMW, and the problem will be fixed for free. The recall also affects certain 2014 Mini Cooper models. Learn more at the NHTSA website. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is providing 200 electric vehicles to telecommunications company Orange in France. The cars, which will include the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, Renault ZOE and Renault Kangoo ZE, will be used mostly for carsharing. Through the program, Orange employees can book a car for work or personal travel using a smartphone. The Alliance will also help Orange install charging stations for the new cars. The addition of the EVs to the fleet will help Orange achieve its goal of reducing its carbon footprint by 20 percent by 2020. Read more in the press release, below. Jianghuai Automobile Company (JAC) is delivering its first 100 EVs to the US. The shipment is part of a larger order of 2,000 cars to be sold by GreenTech Automotive in the US market.

2012 Pebble Beach Concept Car Lawn offers a tutorial in cars to come

Sun, 19 Aug 2012

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance is a showcase for some of the world's most exquisite vintage vehicles, but if newer metal is more your speed, the Concept Car Lawn is the place to be.
This year saw models from Bugatti, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, McLaren and Bentley as well as SRT, Hennessey, Infiniti and Lexus among others. The ultimate sampler platter of exotic and concept vehicles saw the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse mingle with the Lamborghini Urus Concept and the mighty Hennessey Venom GT, though we found ourselves particularly smitten with the BMW Zagato Roadster and the Aston Martin Vanquish.
Not that we could go wrong anywhere we looked. The 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed seemed perfectly content parked on the manicured putting green, as did the McLaren MP4-12C Spider. Get cozy with the full gallery below to see the smattering of metal on the lawn.
