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!!!

Bertone goes bust

Mon, Mar 17 2014

The famous Italian coachbuilder and designer Bertone may be on its deathbed. The company that penned the beautiful shape of the Lamborghini Miura has been facing financial hardships for months, and Autocar is reporting that the Turin, Italy firm has just declared bankruptcy. The last we heard from Bertone, it was showing the Jet 2+2 station wagon based on an Aston Martin Rapide at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The Turin-based carrozzeria became famous for its wild designs like the BMW Spicup concept, Lancia Stratos and the initial shape of the Lamborghini Countach. In recent years, it had been limited to creating mostly one-off vehicles. The company has slowly been shrinking recently. It sold its small factory to Fiat a few years go and let go of 165 employees and 10 interns in December. Bertone has been shopping itself in hopes of finding a new owner. According to PistonHeads, even with the money problems, the business generated 20-million euros ($27.9 million) in revenue in 2013 and has been working on projects in China. A Turkish firm was rumored to be interested in buying it for just $2.7 million, and GT Spirit claims that there are also seven Italian companies potentially interested in purchasing it. Bertone has a long and proud automotive history, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were bought just for the value of the brand – perhaps we haven't seen the last of its stylized B logo.

BMW confirms X4 for next year, i3 preorders starting to add up

Wed, 20 Mar 2013

BMW has confirmed the long-anticipated X4 will bow next year. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the automaker's board of management, made mention of the upcoming CUV during remarks at the company's annual accounts press conference. Reithofer said that BMW has sold more than 2.7 million X models since it began producing the machines, and that the company plans to expand those offerings with the new X4 next year. He declined to offer up any more details, though from what we've heard so far, the model will be more of a crossover than either the X3 or the X5.
Reithofer also made it clear that BMW is getting serious about electric vehicles, saying the i3 (pictured above, in prototype form) is "definitely coming to market" and that the runabout will be ready by late 2013. BMW reports it has had "Several hundred advance orders" for the EV. As you may recall, the i3 uses a special carbon fiber reinforced plastic passenger cell to save weight and boasts a standard range of 93 miles. You can read the full transcripts from the press conference below for more information.
