You are bidding on a driver quality restored black on black 1972 BMW 2002.  I purchased this car in May of 2012 in Hillsboro OR and have spent the last two years having it professionally restored. 

I am the third owner of this car.  The original owner handed it down to his nephew and I purchased it from that nephew.  The car had been stored in the family barn since the late 90’s before I purchased it.  So I guess technically it’s a barn find.  Since the car had been in storage for the past 12+ years the body was in really great shape with no rust in any of the usual 2002 problem areas, shock towers, floor pans, spare tire well, running boards etc.  All are really solid.  I’ve included some before and after pictures of some of the common problem areas before they were cleaned and re coated with fresh undercoating to keep them protected.

The cars original color was malanga but it was repainted to (schwartz) black back sometime in the 80’s.  During the 2 year restoration I had the car taken down to bare metal and re painted this same black.  The interior of the car has been reupholstered in black vinyl including front/rear seats and door panels front/rear.  The door panels were replaced with Aardvark racing wooden panels before they were reupholstered.  As far as I can tell the carpet is original.  If so it’s in incredible shape.

Beyond the restoration the following upgrades have been performed:  BMW OEM BBS wheels, BMW OEM Sport Recaro seats, New Weber 32/26 carburetor, flush European turn signals and Hella driving lights.

Here is a high level overview of the work performed during the restoration, detailed work below.

Bare metal repaint in Fall 2013
Complete engine rebuild Spring 2013
Complete interior reupholster Fall 2013
Brake system rebuild Spring 2013
Suspension rebuild Spring 2013
Blower rebuild Spring 2014

All receipts for this work will go with the car.

The car runs well and the engine pulls strong.  It handles well and stops just as well.  After all the mechanical work I would expect nothing less.  Paint is a 9/10, interior 9/10, mechanical 9/10, chrome 8/10 (some of the chrome, drip rail, window trim has a few scratches), engine bay 7/10 (mechanically sound just could use detailing).

The engine has approximately 1000 miles on the rebuild.  The engine rebuild included the following:

New pistons
New head
New valves
New springs
New spark plugs
New spark plug wires
New belts
New Engine mounts
New weber 32/26 carburetor
New heat shield
All gaskets replaced

While the engine was out the following was done:

New transmission mounts
Service the transmission
Service the rear diff
Rebuilt the alternator
New water pump
New 320i radiator and hoses
New thermostat

The brakes were professionally rebuilt including:

New brake hoses at all four corners
Replaced brake master cylinder
Replaced rear wheel cylinders
New brake light switch

The front suspension was professionally rebuilt including:

New front control arms.
New front subframe bushings
New front strut mounts
New tie rods
New strut inserts
New Bilstein shocks
The original Bilsteins in the rear were in good shape and thus not replaced

The previous owner had performed the following work before I purchased the car:

New steering guibo
New clutch
New header back exhaust
New battery
New header back exhaust

The body includes the following:

New Ireland Engineering front spoiler
European flush mount front turn signals
New Hella 5 inch driving lights
New front windshield and seal
New rear windshield seal using original windshield
New trunk seal
New trunk lock
New beltline chrome trim
New emblems front and rear
New tires

In addition to everything listed above the following has been replaced.

New hazard switch
New blinker relay
New dash cover

Clean Title in hand.

Enjoy this car as a daily driver or keep it for the weekends and car shows.

Buyer to pay for shipping from Portland OR or local pickup.  I do require a 500$ deposit within 72 hours of close of auction.

Autoblog Minute: UAW and FCA avoid strike, Clarkson teases new show

Fri, Oct 9 2015

FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA avoids a worker strike, a former Top Gear host teases us with a picture from Amazon's new car show, and Toyota predicts autonomous cars by 2020. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. A UAW strike of FCA was avoided thanks to a zero-hour tentative agreement reached this week. Worker concerns that were renegotiated in the new [00:00:30] deal include adjustments to the two-tier wage scale, health care costs, and production outsourcing. Now check-in with Autoblog as we update our reports on this evolving story. Shooting began on Amazon Prime's new automotive show starring the former Top Gear crew. That's Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May. Now Clarkson threw out a tweet from day one of filming on location at Algarve Motor Park in Portugal. The picture features the show's [00:01:00] three stars and crew posing with the holy trinity of hyper cars. That's a McLaren P1, a Ferrari LaFerrari, and a Porsche 918 Spyder. This Prime show is being called Gear Knobs though the name is unofficial. Now if a tweet is any indication of what we can expect, who cares what it's called this is gonna be awesome. (Eds Note: Clarkson tweeted Friday that the show will not be called Gear Knobs.) Toyota predicts drivers could be obsolete on highways as early as 2020, with technology dubbed the Toyota Highway Teammate or THT. Toyota is using a modified [00:01:30] Lexus GS to show what this is capable of. THT is already able to create a driverless freeway car that's capable of changing lanes, making passes and taking curves. Plus, it can keep safe distances from other vehicles. Toyota is currently testing this on Tokyo's Shuto Expressway. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. And I'll have some added insight on the BMW M4 GTS. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. [00:02:00] Show Logo Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive. Each segment offers a quick and clear picture of what's happening in the automotive industry from the perspective of Autoblog's expert editorial staff, auto executives, and industry professionals.

This is the final BMW M3 Coupe

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

Pour some out for the BMW M3 Coupe, folks. Production of the two-door, fixed-roof M3 has officially ended, and the orange car you see here is the very last one.
But we don't just meant the last M3 Coupe of this generation - this is the last M3 Coupe ever, since the next-gen car will launch under the name M4, staying true to BMW's revised nomenclature where coupes and convertibles will use even numbers. (Don't forget, the new 3 Series coupe becomes the 4 Series for the 2014 model year.) There will, of course, be a new M3, but that badge will only be found on the four-door version.
BMW first launched the M3 Coupe in 1986, and since then, more than 40,000 examples have been built. Sedan and convertible versions were added later in the car's life, and BMW says that the current 2013 model year convertible will remain in production until September of this year.

Xcar rates AWD vs. FWD vs. RWD

Tue, Feb 24 2015

With snow and ice blanketing large swathes of the United States over the past few weeks, commuting hasn't been easy. Among some drivers, there's an ongoing debate about how much all-wheel drive really helps when it gets slippery and whether rear-drive is as bad in slick conditions as many people think. Xcar Films puts some of those beliefs to the test in its latest video by showing off three very different cars taking on a trio of low-grip challenges. Xcar's picks for the test include the fairly plebeian, all-wheel drive Subaru Impreza, the somewhat plush, rear-drive BMW 120d and the sporty, front-drive Renault Megane RS 275 Trophy. Things start out easy with a hydraulic plate forcing the back end out on a wet skid pad. From there, the tests get really interesting with a slalom on simulated ice, and the cars finish with a high-speed cornering challenge through a soaked turn. While an obvious winner emerges in the end, keep in mind this is hardly a scientific test of grip. For better accuracy, all three vehicles should be wearing identical tires, and the same driver should be behind the wheel of each one. Still, Xcar's examination is a fun chance to see how vehicles react when things get slick.
