Wow Low mile all Original roundie 2002 - No modifications - just like it was in 1972 in Granada Red and black interior
This car was in the same family until the fall of 2012. It was sold by the son of the original owner to settle an estate. The original owners son was going to college in California and working part time at a Cadillac /BMW dealer. His parents had just bought a retirement home in Carmel California and his mother wanted to support him. Her request was red outside and black interior. When it arrived to the dealer the chrome grill guards / bumper overiders were installed. This BMW became her favorite car and was never to be sold even though they normally got a new car every 3 years. When acquired, the car it still had the vanity license plates that were put on the car in 1972 with her name. The car was always stored in the garage unless it was driven. I have receipts and documents going back many years to prove the low miles.
I have had several 2002 BMW's and this is the cleanest and most original one I have seen. I drove it a short while and soon realized although it was very low miles it was still 40 years old and needed some mechanical maintenance. So into the shop it went and was serviced as needed to be reliable as an extra car for me to drive. I spent the money with out any idea of ever selling, but have fallen in love with another vintage car, so some one will be getting a gem. I have receipts for all the work with over 7k spent to put it back using quality German parts to put it into like new driving condition.
The car was repainted about ten years ago and looks good. The stainless is very good, with only one piece on the trunk that is damaged. There is a new N.O.S. BMW piece that goes with the car. The windshield seal is cracked and a new BMW seal is included. The chrome is very nice, with only a light dent and pitting to the rear bumper center section. The interior is next to mint. The driver seat lower cushion had a spit seam and was recovered to match. There is a very small crack on the dash ( hard to see) on the corner were the speedo surround comes to the flat part of the dash. The carpets are original and in great shape with some wear in the drivers area. The headliner is mint. The original windows are in great shape. Steering wheel is perfect. Most that see the interior think is has been restored.
The running gear is were the big investment was made. The transmission had a noise in 3 gear, the struts were original and soft and the heater cables were stuck. It still had a set of 1980's Michelin's tires on the car. Here is a list of some of the items that were rebuilt.
- Transmission rebuilt- all new bearings & seals ( 4 speed manual)
- Clutch and throw out bearing replaced
- Clutch master and slave cylinders replaced
- Brake master replaced
- Rear brakes, machined drums, replaced wheel cylinders
- Front brakes, flex hoses, calipers, rotors
- Exhaust hangers replaced ( pipes and muffler solid)
- Complete heater box removed and rebuilt ( all conrols are very smooth)
- New heater core
- Front suspension rebuilt, all new bushings, ball joints, control arms
- All 5 wheels were sent out for powder coating in the original silver metallic color
- New set of 5 all season radial tires, new valve stems
- Alignment
- Belts, Battery, Oil change, and tune up
- All gear oils changed to Red Line synthetic
- Front struts in KYB gas
- Rear shocks in KYB gas
- Radiator serviced and flushed
This car is a blast to drive. All the lights works, gauges, heater, defroster and has a am/fm stereo. The windows roll up & down very smooth. It turns heads and everyone talks about the one they had just like it. It was a challenge to keep it stock as I have several ones that were modified. But they are only original once and so hard to find a unmolested one anymore. The rear panels were taken out above the fuel tank for an inspection and absolutely no rust was found. On the hoist the car is just as solid underneath. There is signs of rust in the rear corner of the right front fender were a patch of mud was found. And the drivers door has a few pimple, but no holes. Overall a very solid car you can drive anywhere anytime.
I have sold several classic cars on e-bay in the last few years from my collection and for friends. All the buyers have been happy.
Road test, phone calls are encouraged and very welcome. Steve Fisher 206-755-3420

I was asked about undercarriage pictures, Just added 4 of them. You can see how dry this car is underneath.
I had to put a rag over the front plate because of reflection in the camera.
Thanks for the questions. Steve

Cafe racer motorbikes storm Japan
Fri, 22 Nov 2013Japan may be best known, at least among motorcycle enthusiasts, for its sport bikes. But as we found at the Tokyo Motor Show this year, Japanese motorcycle manufacturers are capable of producing all kinds of motorbikes. And to our delight, that includes cafe racers.
Along with the myriad electric bikes, dirt bikes, crotch rockets and scooters, the halls of Tokyo's Big Site convention center this year were full of the retro-infused rides we love. Chief among them was the Bolt (shown above) which Yamaha exhibited alongside their various electric two-wheelers, sporting a delicious metallic blue paintjob, inverted handlebars and hanging mirrors, machined metal bits, blacked-out trim and saddle brown leatherwork.
Honda was also on hand with a new EX version of its '70s-style CB1100 retro roadster in sinister and low-key matte black. And this was our first chance to check out BMW Motorrad's new birthday present to its 90-year-old self, the R NineT, a model recently unveiled at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. But one of the most amusing retro rides we came across was the Honda Monkey Limited, a mini bike that makes the new 125cc Grom (which was displayed alongside it) look positively gigantic.
2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street
Fri, 24 May 2013
Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.
EPA: Four 2014 Mini Cooper models need to drop mpg numbers
Wed, Oct 22 2014After the huge problems that Hyundai/Kia experienced with its mislabeled fuel economy labels, you'd think that any time an automaker has to adjust its mpg numbers, heralds would be shouting from the rooftops. But, after Ford admitted to three big mistakes with its numbers for the 2013 C-Max Hybrid and Mercedes-Benz had to lower the fuel economy rating for the C-Class, we understand if those heralds are a bit tired by now. The models affected include the 3-door and the 3-door S. Still, today's news is that BMW has to lower the fuel efficiency numbers for four versions of the 2014 Mini Cooper thanks to an audit conducted by the EPA and then some joint re-testing. The models affected include the 3-door with the 1.5-liter engine and the 3-door S with its 2.0-liter powerplant, with both manual and semi-automatic transmissions. As with the Benzes, the rating changes are not big ones, around one or two miles per gallon. The big exception is the manual S 3-door's highway number, which lost four mpg from 38 to 34. You can see all the numbers, new and old, in the press release below, but the EPA isn't saying what caused the problem this time. The Agency's new test procedures can't come fast enough. It should be noted that the 2015 Mini Cooper was recently delayed a bit because of the extra time it took to get the EPA numbers right. There's no confirmation that these two items are connected, but we would not be surprised to hear they were. EPA Requiring BMW to Correct Fuel Economy Labels for Four Mini Cooper Vehicles Washington - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is revising estimates for four 2014 BMW Mini Cooper vehicles to ensure consumers are given accurate fuel economy values. The EPA performed a fuel economy audit on the BMW Mini Cooper and obtained values that differed from those BMW submitted to EPA for certification. With EPA oversight, BMW conducted new emissions and fuel economy testing, and EPA conducted its own testing at its National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. As a result of this subsequent testing, EPA is requiring BMW to relabel four of its 2014 Mini Cooper models with lower fuel economy values. The specific changes to fuel economy stickers are listed in the table below.
