Original California 1970 Bmw 2002 on 2040-cars
Redwood City, California, United States
This is a 1970 BMW 2002. I have found some receipts that show it has been driving in California since 1989 in the central valley and SF bay area . You can hop in this car and go anywhere due to its great condition and constant maintenance through its life. The motor starts right up on a cold or hot day. The choke still works too! It shifts smoothly through all gears and is a blast to drive.
Recently the clutch was replaced, the brake system had a nice overhaul, and new window seals were installed. As i said, it has been heavily maintained which means fluids, bushings, suspension, working radio, etc. The good: Runs and drives great everyday 0 rust most of the car including shock towers Clean CA title Slicktop (no sunroof) Lots of rare parts that are original to the car Flush mounted side markers Early grills Blue tip antenna Factory AC console Bull bars on front and rear Original hub caps Original tool kit Amazing condition headliner Working window, wipers, lights, horn Cool old style seat belts Very little rust Locks work Paint is Decent All original aluminum moldings on car All gauges work Perfect Backseat Also comes with the A/C compressor and tons of extra parts in the trunk Of coarse it is not perfect for a 44 year old unrestored car... The drivers door handle stopped working from the outside. I have not had anybody look into it yet. The tires are starting to crack Tiny rust right by drivers side rocker Some rust under the spare tire well Could use a new carpet set Font seats in need of new material AC not connected The shift bushings could be replaced some surface rust on front bull bar gets a lot of attention and no matter where you go, people have to stop by and check it out and ask "what year is that 2002?" I believe that is everything about the car. Overall, a great candidate for a restoration project or a great daily driver. Hope to see it go to a good home! Good luck and Happy Bidding! |

Will global automakers drop local JV partners if China's government says they can?
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chinese economic policies could be in for a big change, as President Xi Jinping pushes the communist country to open its domestic markets even further. That could mean big things for the auto industry, especially when it comes to the country's far-reaching joint-venture system.
According to Chinese law, foreign automakers may only maintain a fifty-fifty partnership with their domestic counterparts. But with Jinping's push for openness leading to potential free-trade deals, that policy could be relaxed (or eradicated all together) in short order. What's an automaker to do?
Well, in BMW's case, stay the course. Automotive News Europe reports that, despite the grumblings about the JV policy changes, the German manufacturer has resigned its agreement with Brilliance through 2028. This is made doubly remarkable by the fact that BMW signed the extension over three years before it was set to expire.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
LA Design Challenge invokes biology for 2025 concepts [w/poll]
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Participants in the annual LA Design Challenge always manage to come up with edgy, wacky designs for future vehicles, but with a theme of "Biomimicry and Mobility: 2025" this year's crop of cars might be the quirkiest we've ever seen. As usual, automotive designers from around the world participated in this year's competition, and all the designs will all be unveiled next week during the LA Auto Show with a winner being announced on November 21.
Chinese automakers made a strong showing with Qoros, SAIC Motor, JAC Motors (the company responsible for the Ford F-150 clone) and Changfeng all bringing interesting takes on the biology, human intelligence and sustainability theme. One of the more innovative ideas among these automakers is the Qoros Silk Road System allows autonomous vehicles to drive in packs similar to how ants travel. Speaking of ants, the SAIC Motor Mobiliant (shown above) gets its design from the shape of an ant's body, and, like the insect, it can climb building acting as a personal elevator as well. The JAC Motors design also merges vehicle and building design, while the Changfeng LaBrea inspired by the design of muscle fibers.
Other entrants include Subaru and US-based design teams for BMW, Toyota and Mazda. BMW's duo of concepts mimic plant and animal life. The LA Subways concept acts as a submersible, single-person vehicle to take advantage of the LA river, with a shape similar to an Ocean Sunfish. The Sustainable Efficient Exploratory Device (SEED) imitates the shape of a seed pod, and uses propulsion methods inspired by a shark, dragonfly and a water bug. Mazda's Auto Adapt might be the most car-like concept of the bunch, while the Subaru Suba-Roo and the Calty-designed, Toyota e-grus are the most mind-blowingly awesome.
