You are bidding on a 1973 BMW 2002 (Non Tii) 4 speed sunroof car

I am the third owner of the car, which was purchased from Arizona.  The car began its life in California before Arizona, so this car has lived less than two years of its 40+ year life in CT.  This is a very reliable, well serviced, well cared for 2002.  Its an older restoration that has held up well and served me as a daily driver to and from work (30 miles) for the past two years.  The motor is strong with no smoke.  The trans and all running gear is strong and healthy.  seats are good, seat belts works, windows roll up and down well, lights & blinkers are good....Everything works as it should on this 2002.

The car is wired to have a radio.  I removed the shotty 80's radio & center console and replaced it with a clean radio-free center console.  I left all the wires in case the next owner wanted to install his or her own radio again.

Rust, work & parts needed, and other items: I would call the car rust free, however, there are two or three very small bubbles in the paint near the windshield pilar. The dash is great with no tears. The door lock on the driver's side door has no key entry.  The button and locking mechanism work great...just need to buy the part and install it.  Not a big deal....an evening in the garage with a beer and the right parts will do the trick.  The headliner is in "okay" condition.  Its just a little old an worn with some discoloration...not bad....had to mention it though.  The ingition key entry is...."tempormental".  Ever now and then, once every 10-15 starts, the ignition will lock up and prevent the key from turning / starting the car.  After about 30-40 seconds of wiggling, it turns and the car starts right up.  Its an odd problem that never was worth any further investigation on my side.

Good news for perspective buyers is that this car was serviced by the guys at Sports Car Restoration (www.sports-car-restoration.com),  who specilize in BMW restoration, maintenance, and race prep. Matt & Nate know the car well and can speak on its condition.

I love this car very much and hate to sell it.  Priorities have changed and it needs to go.....aka.....baby and family come first, so my little red verona must go.  The reserve is set for what I paid for it two years ago.  The buy it now is just below what I have it listed locally for, so it goes without saying that I have the right to end this auction early if it sells locally prior to the end of this auction.

Title:  Car has a clean title, but...of course, I can not find the actual paper.  I just sent the paperwork to DMV for a replacement / duplicate title so that is in progress....shouldn't be a problem, but wont be here for another 2-3 weeks. 

Someone is going to get a great little roundie!!!

Mini Minor to be co-developed with Toyota

Mon, Jan 26 2015

It was back in 2011 when Mini first showcased the prospect of an even smaller hatchback with the Rocketman concept at the Geneva Motor Show. In the nearly four years since, parent company BMW has hemmed and hawed on the possibility of putting it into production, but the latest word from Europe has it that the project is a go. According to Automobile magazine, Mini is realigning its product portfolio into five pillars: the essential hardtop we've already seen (available in two/three- and four/five-doors), the convertible, the upcoming new Clubman wagon (coming this summer with full-size auxiliary suicide doors on both sides), the next-gen Countryman crossover in 2016 and two new model lines. One will be the production version of the Superleggera roadster concept, earmarked for 2018. The other will be the Minor, a smaller city car reviving a long-gone model name and presaged by the aforementioned Rocketman concept. But for that last one, Mini won't go it alone. To develop the mini Mini, BMW will reportedly turn to its partnership with Toyota. The relationship is already set to yield a new Supra and Z4 and share fuel cell and other technologies. But this would broaden the partnership to include a small hatchback. However rather than use the existing (or next-gen) Aygo, which is already built under joint venture with PSA Peugeot Citroen (with which BMW previously had a joint engine venture), word has it that the BMW and Toyota will develop a new platform for the project – one that will be used by both partners. The new product plan doesn't leave much room for the Mini Coupe and Roadster (which have already been discontinued), for the Paceman three-door crossover (which will suffer the same fate) or for the projected seven-seater minivan. But the addition of the new Superleggera roadster and super-mini Mini aren't likely to leave us wanting for either. Related Video:

BMW may be planning AMG Black Series competitors

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Word has it BMW has its heart set on giving the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series a run for its money in the US. According to BimmerBoost.com, the German automaker has been making more and more noise about offering a number of specialty models aimed specifically at enthusiasts. While at the Detroit Auto Show this year, the BMW PR machine revealed 2013 will be "an interesting year" and that buyers can expect one or two products aimed specifically at swiping buyers from the clutches of the C63 AMG Black Series. The news came courtesy of Automobile writer Marc Noordeloos' Twitter machine.
Noordeloos reportedly interviewed several executives familiar with the M models while in Detroit, and says the M division would like to offer hardware like the M3 CSL, GTS or CRT to buyers here in the States. That sounds great to us, but saying something doesn't make it true, and manufacturers rarely find it in their hearts to bring money-losing machines to our green shores. Still, that won't stop us from crossing our fingers.

BMW releases complete pricing info on M3 and M4

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When BMW unveiled the M3 and M4 at the Detroit Auto Show back in January, we told you that the new sportsters were starting at $62,000 and $64,200, respectively. That leaked info, though, only told a small part of the story for the new M cars. Now, we have the complete pricing sheet on the new coupe and sedan, direct from BMW.
The pricing intel that we had at the time was correct - prices start at $62,000 for four doors and $64,200 for two. Those prices don't include the $925 destination charge. Potential customers should also plan on spending an extra $550, as seven of the eight paint options are of the metallic variety. BMW's trademark Alpine White is the only no-cost paint option.
As for the cabin, customers will, interestingly, have the choice of a cloth/leather combination as standard. That's in addition to the standard suite of leather options. There are also extended leather and full leather options, for $950 and $3,500, respectively. There are three option packages available, covering all the extra goodies for the M3 and M4.
