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!!!

Wunderlich creates two-wheel-drive hybrid BMW motorcycle

Tue, Nov 24 2015

Two wheel-drive motorcycles aren\\\\\\'t new, but more mainstream and niche companies are now dabbling in the technology. German aftermarket shop Wunderlich is the latest, creating the two-wheel drive BMW R1200GS LC by placing a 7.6-kilowatt hub motor on the front wheel. Wunderlich worked with Italian company Evolt on the innovation, good for 12 miles per hour by itself without the help of the boxer-powered rear wheel. Regenerative braking energy is stored in a small battery pack under the motorcycle\\\\\\'s front beak. Powered action works in forward, as well as in reverse up to three miles per hour. The rider is able to choose direction with a toggle switch in the cockpit. Wunderlich hasn\\\\\\'t said yet how power to the front wheel is controlled or if it is simply always fully on or off. It weighs 525 pounds, and has an allowable payload of another 467 pounds. Powering the front wheel, even with just 7.6 kW, would help move all that weight around in good conditions and could be a godsend in tough stuff out on the trail. Wunderlich showed off its creation at this year\\\\\\'s EICMA motorcycle show in Italy, we have a feeling some BMW owners will be waiting for word on production possibilities once the show is over.

Super Bowl Advertisers Mercedes-Benz and BMW See Biggest Increases in Car Shopper Interest on Edmunds.com SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercedes-Benz and BMW saw the most significant spikes in traffic on Edmunds.com after their ads ran during Super Bowl XLIX, according to a real-time analysis by the car shopping website. By the end of the game, the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT had the biggest cumulative spike in traffic, with a 2189% jump over previous Sunday averages on Edmunds.com. The BMW i3 captured the second most buzz on Edmunds.com; its cumulative traffic climbed 583%. "Even though these two advertised vehicles are likely to be sold in small volume to niche audiences, the BMW and Mercedes brands will enjoy the overall buzz they have generated, especially as both continue their efforts to grow their overall reach into new car shopper segments," said Edmunds.com Sr. Analyst Jessica Caldwell.

BMW 3 Series set for mild facelift

Fri, 28 Mar 2014

The latest BMW 3 Series is pretty new, right? Well it's been on the market for the better part of three years now. And on a typical six-year production cycle, that means it's halfway through its life. It only makes sense, then, that BMW should be preparing a little mid-life facelift, and that's just what we appear to be looking at in these latest spy shots.
The changes will likely be minimal when the revised 3 Series debuts sometime in the middle of next year, with the visual changes to the exterior centering around a new front bumper. New lighting front and rear may also be part of the package, and you can also expect some updates to the interior while those Bavarian engineers are at it. Take a closer look in the gallery of high-res spy shots above for an idea of what to expect.
