Very fun to drive, fast, in great condition, recently rebuilt sunroof works perfectly, strong engine, very solid car. Good daily driver, original (some mods), partly restored, body is straight and overall very good condition. Clock keeps time, interior lights all work, has original spare tire and rim in great condition, original painted emblems, original radio, uncut door panels, new headliner, carpet, etc. More details:
History: I am the third owner, bought it from an architect who lives and kept the car in Malibu, CA for many years. He bought it from original owner who moved to CA from east coast in the early 80's. From the German BMW archive, they confirmed the following: "manufactured on November 17th, 1972 and delivered on November 20th, 1972 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Chamonix, paint code 085." Engine/mechanical: was rebuilt by second owner about 22,000 miles ago. It runs very strong with no smoke, at any speed, and has never let me down. The two BMW 2002 specialty shops that worked on it said it is one of the fastest Tii's they've ever driven, has great acceleration. Turn key, it starts cold and properly sets to the idle as it warms up. Drives off perfectly. I had the fuel injection rebuilt, added electronic ignition, is in good order, runs good. It handles great and steering and suspension all work well. Brakes in good condition, stops evenly and solid, about 70% left. Transmission works great first through third gear, however there is a slight grind going into fourth gear. I've learned to put in fourth without any grind by easing it in, however if you just slam it from third to fourth you will experience a slight grind but nothing that will prohibit driving or enjoying the car. It will not require any immediate replacement however I waited on this because I wanted to put a 5 speed in it. A used 4 speed transmission put in by a 2002 specialty shop is about $500. Body: solid and repainted about 15 years ago. The sunroof was rebuilt a year ago and works perfectly. I recently had the front nose section of car replaced, as the original was a mess from someone trying to fix dents with bondo and ugly grills. Mechanic said to replace the nose for better results so a BMW 2002 specialty shop in L.A removed the nose tip off a good clean used 73 2002, at the factory seams, and installed as original, looks factory. The nose, hood, and front fenders were repainted to complete and looks very good. Only body rust was "fixed" under the spare tire by previous owner when he had it painted, was not done well and just filled. Because its not noticeable and in spare, I did not fix it. It poses no issues at all except it is not that difficult to have the spare tire tub replaced, estimate was about $500. Last, the bumpers are original and starting to show their age. Front bumper still looks presentable, but rear not so much (see pics), chrome is flaking. I got a quote to re-chrome them for $1000 and will have it done for new owner if they wish, just add the $$ to final price, told it takes a week. Interior: New carpet, new headliner, solid door panels with no holes, original radio (does not work), heat/cold work but fan does not, all gauges work except odometer .. speedometer works fine. The seats are good, no tears, however you may notice in pics that the blue is a bit lighter than the door panels. Odometer stopped working about 200 miles ago and not sure what happened but likely to be the cable. My mechanic said fan will need repacement, and this is the only spot he found rust, as the original fan is rusted frozen. The spare and fan are common rust spots for coastal 02's as the moisture collects. The dashboard has a few cracks and I put the 'powered by BMW' badge on it because someone prior installed a digital clock. ?? I removed clock and covered with the badge. Tires/rims: New Kumho tires, very nice handling. The rims were sanded and repainted, clear coated, and look great. The spare tire and rim are original from the factory, untouched and still look excellent. These rims all straight except the left front has a minor curb rash spot. The spare rim appears to have never been used. Price: NADA shows the 73tii going price as $20.6k (low) and $34.3k (high). Because it is a good driver, with rare working sunroof, will start with a minimum and no reserve. Good luck! Auction: Please contact me with any questions by ebay email or phone (949) 362-0068 (does not accept text). Please inspect or have car inspected before purchasing as this car is sold as is. A non refundable $500 deposit is required within 24 hours of auction close. I can keep it in my garage up to two weeks, will be happy to help with shipping if needed. Thank you. Story on the BMW 2002tii vs 2002, taken from official BMW 2002 archive .... The biggest change for the 2002 series was the introduction of the 2002tii. The “fuelie” was much more expensive and much faster. It still is the standard of performance for the smaller BMWs. The tii has also survived in remarkable numbers since it is the true enthusiast’s car. The 2002tii had larger diameter wheel cylinders, larger and thicker front rotors and brake pads as well as a tastefully mounted clock on the dash. It also boasted virtually no emission controls, heavy duty front spindles, boxed rear A arms, heavier clutch and a 3.45:1 differential yielding a higher top end. In 1973
the plastic intake manifold trumpets were changed to more reliable
aluminum ones which didn’t have any O-rings to blow out. Some small
modifications were made to the injection pump linkage. In 1974 a new
distributor was installed along with some other minor emission controls.
Other than that the car remained parallel to the 2002. The 1974 2002tii
was slower but this was primarily due to a difference in weight. The 1973 tii was the fastest and last of the round tail lights, as well as chrome bumpers. |

BMW revises X1 to tide it over until replacement
Tue, 17 Dec 2013It's been over five years since BMW first introduced the X1 at the 2008 Paris Motor Show, and a bit over a year since it brought the compact crossover to these shores. Soon the Bavarian automaker will replace the X1 with a new model based on the company's new front-drive architecture, but not before it gives it a few updates to keep it fresh.
Set to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show next month alongside the Z4 Pure Fusion Design and the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe, the enhanced X1 benefits from some new exterior accents, a spruced-up interior and new technology packed inside.
New air intakes in the bumper and integrated daytime driving lights distinguish the front end, with new wheel and color options available. Inside, certain versions get a new dashboard treatment, among other minor trim updates, and BMW has installed its latest ConnectedDrive suite to keep it up with the times. Scroll down for the full details.
U.S. tariff threat hits European automakers' stocks
Thu, May 24 2018FRANKFURT, Germany — A U.S. warning that it may introduce tariffs on foreign auto imports hit shares in German carmakers BMW, Daimler and Volkswagen on Thursday, which together have a more than 90 percent share of North America's premium car market. Washington said on Wednesday it had launched an investigation into whether car and truck imports are a national security issue due to signs they had damaged the U.S. auto industry. That could lead to new U.S. tariffs — up to 25 percent — similar to those imposed on imported steel and aluminum in March. BMW and Daimler shares fell as much as 3.1 percent in early Thursday trading, while Volkswagen's dropped as much as 2.5 percent. "(U.S. President) Donald Trump is obviously not thinking about how to prevent a trade war. Import duties on cars would be a nightmare for the German auto industry and would lead to a massive sales impact," said Thomas Altmann at Frankfurt-based asset manager QC Partners. BMW on Thursday condemned the move to consider tariffs. "The BMW Group is committed to free trade worldwide. Barrier-free access to markets is therefore a key factor not only for our business model, but also for growth welfare and employment throughout the global economy," it said. Daimler, which makes Mercedes-Benz cars, and Volkswagen, which makes upmarket Audis and Porsches, were not immediately available for comment. German carmakers produced 804,000 cars at local factories in the United States and exported 657,000 German-made cars into North America last year, according to German auto industry association VDA. China took pains on Thursday to welcome German firms and investments, with Premier Li Keqiang talking up relations after a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. BMW and Mercedes have expanded production capacity in the United States, but BMW, Audi, Volkswagen and Daimler have also invested billions to build new factories in Mexico in the hope of selling locally produced cars into the United States. German carmakers hiked vehicle production in Mexico by 46 percent to 620,000 cars last year, while production levels inside the United States fell by 6 percent to 804,000 cars because of a shift to Mexico, according to the VDA. BMW has its biggest factory worldwide in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and is the largest vehicle exporter among all the carmakers in the United States measured by value of goods exported. More than 70 percent of BMW's U.S.-made cars are exported.
2015 BMW X4
Tue, 27 May 2014BMW has been in the line-blurring business of late, with the original X5 "Sports Activity Vehicle" muddling the line between SUVs and sport sedans in 1999, the 5 Series Gran Turismo challenging what our definition of "Gran Turismo" means in 2009, and pretty, low-roofed four-doors like the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the fresh new 4 Series Gran Coupe broadening the meaning of the word "coupe."
In the midst of all of this, BMW blurred the lines around both the SUV and coupe genres with its big, heavy, and in many ways ridiculous X5-based "Sports Activity Coupe" (cue collective eye-roll), dubbed X6. Auto wags scoffed at its lack of utility, compromised outward visibility and added cost, but a more emotional public was apparently smitten enough by its aggressive looks to avail itself of some 250,000 of them worldwide in six model years on sale.
Enter the all-new 2015 X4 crossover - err, "Sports Activity Coupe" - which BMW hopes will perform as well in the compact category as the X6 has on the next rung up the ladder. Like the X6, the X4 is a tough sell on paper: it's more expensive and less practical than the X3 on which it's based; it's heavier, despite the loss of interior space; and it doesn't even hold as much stuff in the back as the 3 Series wagon. As with the X6, the X4 is essentially a high-riding style statement that, like proper coupes (the two-door kind), says to the world, "You fools can take your need for practicality and shove it. I just want to look good."
