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. |

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
X4 launch to spearhead BMW crossover onslaught at NY Auto Show
Mon, 30 Dec 2013It's no secret that crossovers are one of the key vehicle types driving today's auto industry profits, and nowhere is that more true than among the world's luxury brands. BMW became one of the first players in the luxury CUV segment when it launched its original X5 in 1999, and buoyed by that model's runaway success, it followed up with the X3 in 2003, the X6 in 2008 and the X1 in 2009 (though the latter didn't make it to the US until late 2012). It's replaced the X5 twice since then and the X3 once, but the Bavarian automaker isn't about to let matters rest there.
First off, a production version of a new X4 model is expected at the New York Auto Show in April. The model was previously rumored to be earmarked for reveal a month earlier, but a new report from Autocar suggests that the previously mooted reveal date and location were inaccurate. The X4 is expected to apply the same controversial slant-back formula to the X3 that transformed the X5 into the X6, which will in turn lead to an update for the X3 as well.
But that's not all. Autocar also reports that before 2014 is out, BMW will unveil a revised X6 at the Moscow Motor Show in August, which will in turn be followed by upgraded versions of both the X6 M and X5 M. These high-performance crossovers are tipped to pack the same 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 as the outgoing versions, albeit with higher outputs than the current models' 555 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. All this, and they're still expected to simultaneously improve fuel consumption and emissions figures.
Are you the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe?
Fri, 31 Jan 2014Thanks to Austrian website Autofilou (via Jalopnik), we now have our first look at what appears to be the upcoming BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe - the four-door version of the new 4 Series coupe, which itself is based on the 3 Series sedan. Makes total sense, right?
Nevertheless, in our First Drive of the 4 Series coupe, we found it to be a much more engaging experience than the 3 Series on which its based. And if this new 4GC follows in those footsteps, it could prove to be a better 3 Series sedan than, well, the 3 Series sedan.
Expect the 4 Series Gran Coupe to come in 428i and 435i flavors, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four in the base car and a 3.0-liter turbo-six in the higher-end model. Of course, BMW will likely bring a range-topping M4 Gran Coupe to market not long thereafter.
