THE OVERVIEW Offered for an appreciating new owner is this rare classic 1976 BMW 2002a two-door sedan! Finished in what appears to be ALL ORIGINAL Sahara tan paint over tan interior, this last-year of the venerable double '02 sports a good running 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engine with new Weber carb mated to a rare factory-equipped three speed AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION with stopping power provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. This near-forty-year-old classic E10 sports very nice E30 BBS mesh wheels with fair to good rubber, updated cd stereo, reclining bucket seats, factory tool kit, E30 325i spare tire/wheel, original red-tipped antenna and original owner's manual. The working five digit odometer shows 56,900 miles which is strongly believed to be just about 156,900 actual miles THOUGH I cannot verify this via Carfax or service history. This 1976 2002 is being sold with clean and clear California title, PLEASE NOTE: This 1976 BMW can ONLY be sold to a non-California resident/buyer due to aftermarket carb and missing original air cleaner and smog parts! This is a great find for about the cost of the sales tax alone on a new quickly-depreciating three series BMW sedan!
PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS. ALSO PLEASE EMAIL ME FOR MANY MORE DETAILED PHOTOS!
THE BODY AND TRIM As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the exterior of this 1976 BMW is in quite presentable, very original unrestored "driver-quality" condition throughout with a nice shine to the paint. MOST IMPORTANT with these older BMWs is the "R" word.......RUST! Having owner dozens of these classic E10s, I can confidently say that this is absolutely one of the cleanest, driest, most original untouched rust-free examples I have seen in the last two decades. Is it 100% perfectly rust-free? Very close...99.99% with perfect shock towers front and rear, beautiful clean rocker panels, virgin body panels, There is only the beginning of surface corrosion in the spare tire well and some minute rock chipped spots where the weather has grazed the paint surface. Aesthetic imperfections on this car include some miscellaneous nicks, scratches, dimpling and wear to the exterior of this car. Overall a very nice driver-quality-example that will garner attention everywhere you drive!
THE INTERIOR The interior of this 1976 BMW is in very good to excellent original condition throughout! It features beautiful seat upholstery front and rear, amazingly pristine original loop carpeting, mint uncut door panels, superb original headliner with working dome light, nice dash with two or three heat cracks, upgraded CD stereo with rear deck-mounted speakers, working speedometer, odometer, lights and blinkers, working crank windows and the groovy vent wing windows. Imperfections inside the car include inop blower motor and horn, some cracking and wear on the steering wheel, slight pulling away of the door panel bottom corners. Overall this is one very cool classic well-preserved cockpit!
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This classic BMW starts, runs, shifts, brakes and handles very well. With its whopping 100 horsepower on tap it will certainly not keep up with a new 135i but has surprisingly peppy acceleration, solid secure braking, smooth up and downshifting automatic transmission, tight non-power assisted steering and crisp rattle-free suspension. NOTE: the engine is believed to be factory original. It runs fairly well and smooth though smokes a bit and is a bit tired but still quite usable. Driving this car with its responsive handling and open airy cockpit harkens back to why the 2002 was THE car that put BMW here on the map here in America four decades ago!
THE DETAILS AND $$$$$ 1. This 1976 BMW 2002 will be sold with clean California certificate of title.PLEASE NOTE: THIS CAR CAN ONLY BE SOLD TO A NON-CALIFORNIA BUYER/RESIDENT!

It's starting to feel like the automotive landscape is right on the cusp of a boom in hydrogen-fueled vehicles. After all, the Toyota FCV is nearly ready, Volkswagen is readying a fuel cell concept for this week's Los Angeles Auto Show and Hyundai already sells its Tucson Fuel Cell. The next big name to add to that list might be BMW, as the company's co-development deal with Toyota starts to bear fruit.
According to Autocar, BMW may use a version of the fuel cell system from the Toyota FCV in the future i5. As part of its eco-oriented i sub-brand, the i5 is expected to be a stretched version of the i3 (pictured above) with extra rear legroom and cargo space. It's unclear at the moment whether a battery-powered pure electric powertrain will also be available. If accurate, then the rumor could give the Bavarian brand a counterattack against Mercedes-Benz' planned fuel cell vehicle in 2017.
BMW and Toyota first signed the memorandum of understanding to co-develop fuel cells, lightweight technology and a sports car back in 2012, and they made the arrangement official in late 2013. So far, few details on the progress of the work have been disclosed, but the performance model has been rumored to use a front-engine, all-wheel drive layout with supercapacitors.

I recently spent some time behind the wheel of the BMW M235i and, well, I didn't love it. Sure, it's a great car, but I just didn't truly bond with it the way I have with previous M cars. What I had hoped for was a proper successor to the 1 Series M Coupe I fell in love with in 2011, but what I got instead was just a sporty 2 Series that didn't exactly stir my emotions in the same way.
But now there's this: the honest-to-goodness BMW M2. Previously, spy photographers captured a development-mule M2, but this is the real thing, in its full prototype body. Notice the aggressive front fascia that mimics the M3/M4, the more more robust wheel/tire package, and the M-standard quad exhaust outlets around back. This thing sure does look the business.
Details are slim as of this writing, but rumors suggest power will come from BMW's now-ubiquitous N55 turbocharged 3.0-liter six, with output somewhere in the 360- to 380-horspower range. The seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission seems like a good fit here, too. As does a six-speed manual transmission (here's hoping).

After getting a chance to drive the BMW M235i earlier this year, we mentioned our regret at not being able to sample the lighter and less powerful 228i Coupe. We'd like to have seen how close the latter could get to the former, noting that "there's a lot of room for upgrades with the $11,000 retail difference." BMW is closing that performance gap slightly, announcing that a Track Handling Package will join the options sheet for the 2015 228i Coupe.
The group bolts on Variable Sport Steering, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes behind new 18-inch lightweight wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. There's no change to the 240-horsepower four-cylinder, but a coupe so equipped should be able to do plenty more with the horses it has thanks to a faster steering rack, sharper handling due to additional sensors and a ten-millimeter drop in ride height, and larger brakes and discs.
BMW has used the New York Auto Show as a venue to introduce the new Track Handling Package, and it will roll onto showroom floors in July and pricing will be announced sometime between now and then. Takers can get it with both the six-speed manual and eight-speed Sport Automatic, see it in the high-res image gallery above, and read about it in the press release below.
