Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early.

You are looking at a 1972 BMW 2002 with the desirable round tail lights. Recently purchased, don't have a whole lot of history on the car but I believe its priced very fair and its a good opportunity to get into the collectable BMW market. I'll be painfully honest with the description and perhaps even a bit harsh. While bidding please bear in mind that this car cannot go to the next Concourse event , nor will the walls of your garage be laden with trophies from showing the car every weekend. However, this is the perfect car to take as it is, don't do a full-on, nut and bolt restoration, just drive it. Heck, teach your kids to drive a stick and don't be afraid to let them drive it to school. Take it for a spin and if it rains, so what? Throw the dogs in the back seat, roll the windows down and you'll still turn heads with this neat little '02. Good multi-purpose car, throw your bikes on the roof rack, don't worry about that next door ding......I think you get the idea. Description as follows:

Mechanical:
*Original M10 4 cylinder
*4 speed manual
*Stainless header
*Ansa Exhaust tip
*New tires
*Rebuilt Weber 32/36 carb (manual choke), may need some fine tuning, seems a bit rich
*Clutch/brakes feel fine
*Fresh tune-up: Plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor
*New Engine compartment fuel lines and filter
*New water pump and thermostat; radiator flush, fresh coolant
*Fresh oil/filter
Overall, the car starts/runs/drives good, few shakes/rattles, couple of electrical gremlins (someone had a problem with the turn signal switch, opted to install toggle to replace the factory switch. Heater fan non-op as well. Some of the electrical issues may be due to the 4-way switch? Person with the right abilities could probably have it squared away in a long weekend

Interior:
*Black bucket seat interior
*No radio
*Momo steering wheel
*Newer carpet
*Good headliner
*Overall interior condition very good

Exterior:
*Decent repaint to Alpine White (car was originally white)
*Ireland Engineering front fascia and rear Euro-style bumper
*Molded turbo-style flares
*New Yakima rack with 2 bike attachments
*Vintage 13" OZ Racing Ceres basketweave wheels
*Overall paint and bodywork acceptable but somewhat amateur. Has had the typical 2002 rust and rust repair (spare tire well, portions of floor repaired, one rocker replaced)

Once again, great little driver, not a candidate for restoration in my opinion due to existing rust/repair. Priced accordingly, lot of bang for the buck. Please take the time to review all pics, don't hesitate to call with any questions 517-425-0129. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by Rare Rides, a licensed Michigan dealer.

TERMS: 25% NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF AUCTION CLOSE, BALANCE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS OR VEHICLE PICKUP, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. PREFERRED PAYMENT IS BANK TO BANK WIRE TRANSFER OR CERTIFIED BANK FUNDS. VEHICLE PURCHASED AS/IS, NO REFUNDS OR WARRANTIES IMPLIED.

2014 BMW 320i

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

When BMW switched its entry level 3 Series, the 328i, from a naturally aspirated, 3.0-liter six-cylinder to a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder, we weren't entirely sure what to think. Sure, from a pure numbers perspective, the new 2.0-liter cooked the old 3.0's goose, delivering more torque at far more accessible engine speeds while boosting horsepower and fuel economy.
While we miss that revvy six-pot, the numbers for the 2.0 were just way too good to pass up. Then we received news of an even less-powerful 2.0-liter 3 Series - the 320i. This was interesting, as it saw BMW delving into a power level previously owned solely by the anemic Lexus IS 250 and its six-cylinder engine.
Could BMW make a sub-200-horsepower sedan that still drove the way we expected a 3 Series to drive? To find out, we borrowed the new 320i for a week of testing.

Buy this Munro report, get a free BMW i3

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Here's an offer we've never heard of: if you buy the Master- or OEM-level version of a detailed production and cost report on the BMW i3, the engineering firm that produced the report will give you a 'free' i3. Munro & Associates is the company behind the study and the offer, its comprehensive breakdown of the production realities involved in the i3 including a video of the disassembly process of the range-extended hybrid and a detailed analysis of every part therein - everything from fuse boxes to crossbar beams, headlights and the battery pack. You've only got a day to take advantage, though - the report has to be purchased by the time CEO Sandy Munro gives his talk, "Deconstructing the BMW I3: Groundbreaking Technology and the Composite Car," in Detroit Wednesday morning. The price of said report? That's "TBD," so head to the Munro site if you're tempted by the idea of a new car that comes with a trunk full of paperwork. We just hope they're not selling the i3 that they tear down. The press release below has more information. Munro to Give Away 2014 BMW i3 with Every Purchase of the Consulting Firm's Master Teardown Report When Purchased at Two Upcoming Detroit Events DETROIT, Jan. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Visitors to the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) during Preview Week often go home with a lot of swag and trinkets, but how about a $50,000 BMW i3? This year, a local engineering firm, Munro & Associates, is giving away a BMW i3 electric car with every purchase of the Master-/OEM-level version of its benchmarking study of this unique vehicle when purchased during NAIAS or the Plastics in Automotive Conference. The study, the most extensive of its kind, details the production and costs of every system in this carbon-fiber electric vehicle, which CEO Sandy Munro calls the most advanced vehicle on the planet. WHO: Munro & Associates, the global leader in manufacturing, costing and benchmarking. Using its proprietary advanced design, quality and costing software, Munro developed comprehensive reports on key vehicle systems and – for the first time – will offer the reports for general distribution. WHAT: A FREE 2014 BMW i3 for anyone who purchases the Master-/OEM-level report during Preview Week of NAIAS or during Sandy Munro's presentation at the Plastics in Automotive Conference.

X4 launch to spearhead BMW crossover onslaught at NY Auto Show

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

It'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.
