For you mechanics - Engine Compression Numbers:
I bought this car from a dealership who told me it was not the original engine. I did not verify if that was the case or not - but if it is the original engine she's got great compression numbers and runs very strong. It may have sat for a year or so and was not in the best of condition. The E-brake wasn't working so I took it apart and fixed that. She isn't the strongest e-brake but she does work. The car came lowered and honestly drove horrible. I put stock springs on, got an alignment and four used, but decent treaded tires put on. She drives straight, and nice now. Truly I find myself driving a bit like an a-hole because she's light, small and nimble. The underside of the car was coated in fluid. So I traced the leakage and replaced the valve cover gasket and fixed a power steering reservoir leak. The car's underside, after driving it daily, has been completely dry now. Her AC system was not working when I bought it, the AC condenser was broken. So I replaced that with a new condenser and she blows nice and cold. The O2 sensor was not functioning, so I replaced that as well and now the car drives great and strong with no check engine lights. As far as appearance... I shampooed, and steam cleaned the carpets and the seats. I added smoked tail lights and corner lights. I did this because the tail light assemblies were goofed up and things weren't making proper contact. Also, there is a section between the trunk lid and the rear bumper that had rusted. I bought a new piece to put on there, but it needs to be painted. I have not gotten around to doing that yet but the piece will come with the car. The front bumper didn't have the grill in it and was flaking. So I bought a new one, which will come with the car. It just needs to be painted as well. There was a big dent in the passenger side rear quarter panel (as seen in the pictures). This dent has been pulled, but is not perfect. I figured I'd make it perfect when I had the other pieces painted but haven't gotten to that point yet. The seats are cracked - very common for the dove grey interior - and the stitching on the drives seat bolster has separated. None of the leather is ripped though. As far as condition... If you decide to buy the car, she's ready to drive immediately. Power windows, power door locks, sunroof, heated seats, windshield wipers, turn signals, head lights, high beams, climate control, etc all work. With that said though, she could use a little TLC in the following areas. She could use some updated suspension work. And the exhaust has a very small leak. She could use new fog light bulbs, rear stereo speakers, and the cruise control system doesn't work. The ABS light comes on and I believe that to be because of a faulty wheel speed sensor... or maybe its just dirty. The shifter is a little sloppy. I am unfamiliar with how it works, so I was not able to trace down the failure. I do drive her quite a bit these days. She's got really nice pickup and averages 27 miles per gallon (hwy and city combined). She starts right up and goes without issue, stuttering, etc. Might be running slightly rich for a second on startup but does great. The dealership said their were bigger injectors installed - and I don't believe there are.

BMW 02 Series mini-documentary makes us fall in love all over again
Sun, 24 Mar 2013BMW's current reputation of building Ultimate Driving Machines can be traced back through history all the way to 1966, when the German automaker introduced the world to its 1600-2 two-door at the Geneva Motor Show. The car's name was simplified in 1971 to BMW 1602, and it went on to spawn the 2002, one of the most famous BMW models of all time.
BMW looks back on its past successes in a video that you can see below. As the automaker itself says in the video description, "This series was extraordinarily successful in reinterpreting the concept of the sports saloon and played a major role in motor sport long after production had come to an end." The 2002 would be replaced in 1975 by another legendary model from BMW: the 3 Series.
We'd be lying if we said we didn't long for something along the lines of the classic 2002 from BMW today. Since that doesn't seem likely to happen anytime soon, join us in remembering the cars that helped make BMW a household name by scrolling down below.
Daimler, BMW, Audi consortium nabs Nokia maps for $2.72B
Wed, Jul 22 2015A consortium of German automakers made up of Daimler, BMW, and Audi has reportedly banded together to buy Nokia's Here mapping division for the equivalent of about $2.7 billion. The particulars of the deal aren't yet official but could be announced at the end of July. Reuters claims that this info comes from anonymous insiders speaking to Manager Magazin in Germany. It might be too soon, however, to declare a buyer. Reuters also spoke to two other insiders, and they said that no deal has been completed yet. None of the firms involved has officially spoken about the negotiations. Some of the other bidders for the division have reportedly bowed out. Here is a high-definition digital mapping company that controls about 70 percent of the auto market. The company has a fleet of vehicles with cameras and LIDAR (pictured above) to generate all of the necessary information. It also partners with trucking companies to use their GPS data. Nokia started looking for potential buyers for Here earlier this year. Tech giants that reportedly included Uber and Apple were rumored to be interested, while German automakers also teamed up to submit a joint bid in part to protect their access to the maps. On paper, Here is only valued at around $785 million, but a sale in the billions now seems assured.

Take a look at the shocking Rolls-Royce Next 100 concept
Thu, Jun 16 2016Rolls-Royce showed off its Vision Next 100 concept today in London, giving a look at what its vehicles might look like a century years from now. Each BMW brand will show its own concept this year; BMW's Vision Next 100 concept was an interesting mix of textile-like patterns with stretchy fenders and a very 2010s four-door coupe shape, but this Rolls-Royce concept looks more like a luxury version of a World Solar Challenge racer. The car's official title is 103EX, following the convention of recent Roller concepts. Whereas its BMW counterpart was perhaps a safe, predictable vision of the future, the Rolls is a striking vehicle and a big departure for the brand. Whether it works as a whole for you or not, it represents the kind of stylistic provocation that made ex-BMW stylist Chris Bangle a household name. While the early Bangle cars were extremely controversial, this Rolls concept is clearly the heir of his penchant for sharply creased character lines. Call the rocker panel crease flame surfacing if you want. The floating headlamps and blade-edged verticality of the fenders are classic Rolls: imposing and visually heavy, without necessarily being classically beautiful. The square, flat grille is, to my eyes, much less successfully integrated. It seems like Rolls had the perfect opportunity to evolve the trademark grille into something more contemporary. In 100 years, the brand will still need to lean on this sort of anachronism? That seems short-sighted. We'll have more on this concept from our man on the ground in London later today.
