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.

BMW-Toyota sports car heading towards Tokyo debut

Mon, 20 May 2013

Earlier this year, BMW and Toyota confirmed a four-part joint venture mostly focusing on increasing improving vehicle efficiency using fuel cells, lightweight materials and better battery technology. Also tucked into the announcement was a "feasibility study" for a shared platform to underpin a future midsize "sports vehicle."
In terms of the latter, it seems that things have stepped up from the feasibility stage to the conceptual stage, as Motor Trend reports we could see a pair of new sports car concepts debut later this year in at the Tokyo Motor Show. There isn't much information about the new program, but the article suggests the sports cars could be all-wheel drive hybrids, with electric motors powering the front wheels and a gas engine powering the rear wheels. While a partnership between Toyota and BMW might not lend itself to a catchy portmanteau like "Toyobaru," here's hoping it will bear fruit that is as exciting as the ones produced by the Toyota/Subaru tie up.

2015 BMW M4 Coupe

Mon, 12 May 2014

Launched out of the seat by a huge, unexpected dip in the road, yet still held largely in place by the smooth webbing of my safety belt, I clench my teeth waiting to come back to earth. A tenth of a second later, the M4 Coupe touches down and my body is slammed into the leather seat cushion. All of the air is forced out of my lungs upon landing, but the BMW's chassis, suspension and steering appear unfazed. Pleasantly surprised, I mash the accelerator to the floor in giddy pursuit of the car in front of me - an absolutely identical 2015 BMW M4 coupe.
A cavorting game of cat-and-mouse on a desolate twisty canyon in southern Portugal is an excellent way to explore the real-world driving dynamics and performance of BMW's all-new M4 Coupe. But to truly push it to the limit - without having to worry about oversize depressions in the asphalt - requires a dedicated racetrack. Graciously, my hosts have rented the famed Autódromo Internacional do Algarve racetrack, or Portimão circuit, for an afternoon of automotive debauchery.
It's hard to believe this passes for work.

Watch Emily Blunt and John Krasinski prank Jimmy Kimmel's SUV

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Jimmy Kimmel has a bit of a rivalry going with Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. Not like the "I'm on television, you're on the radio" one he has with his former Man Show co-host Adam Carolla (who of course has more to do with cars than the last name he almost shares with a Toyota economy sedan). With Blunt and Krasinski, it's more of a prank rivalry. The Hollywood couple, you see, live across the street from Kimmel, and they're all good friends. But come the holiday season, things get a little competitive. One year they broke into Jimmy's house and left an illuminated snowman and some sort of santa bear in his foyer. Jimmy retaliated, the Krasinskis escalated, and up and up things went until Jimmy had their entire house wrapped like a gift. John and Emily weren't going to leave it at that, though, and took things in a decidedly more automotive direction. They gift-wrapped the host's BMW X5 and filled it with balls. But they didn't stop there. You'll want to watch the footage above to see how things ended, just take note of the roll cage visible as Krasinski-Clause stumbles out of the car in that last scene and remember that, while we couldn't say no vehicles were actually harmed in the making of this segment, at least it doesn't appear to have actually been Kimmel's.
