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

 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

BMW i3 qualifies for both green and white HOV stickers in California

Thu, Jan 16 2014

BMW buyers tend to have enough cash on hand to be buffered from the concept of "sticker shock," but the term may take on a different meaning when it comes to the German automaker's i3 plug-in vehicle and its classification by California clean-air regulators. The first i3 EVs are set to be sold in May, and some are questioning if the new car will be eligible for the state's white stickers or green High-Occupancy Vehicle lane stickers, both of which allow for solo-occupancy in HOV lanes. California gives out white stickers to some types of battery-electric vehicles, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, and there's currently no limit on the number that can be given out. The green stickers, which are applied to other battery electrics as well as some plug-in hybrids, are limited (there are currently about 15,000 left) and will likely run out within the next year or two. The i3's status is uncertain because of it has an optional gas-powered range-extender. Jacob Harb, head of electric vehicle operations and strategy for BMW, told AutoblogGreen that it's not all that complicated. The pure electric version of the i3 will get the white sticker, the REx version will get the green sticker. He also said that both will qualify for the $2,500 state incentive in California and the $7,500 federal tax credit available in all 50 states (For what it's worth, Green Car Reports says the REx version will only get $1,500 from California).

Audi investing $30.3 billion through 2018 for product expansion

Sun, 29 Dec 2013

How does Audi plan to reach two million units in annual sales and pay for the 11 new models it's adding to its lineup - an expansion that may include models named SQ2, Q9 and F-Tron? By increasing its investment to 22 billion euros ($30.3 billion US) between now and 2018. That figure represents an increase of about 500 million euros over the previously planned outlay, according to a report by Automotive News, and that could be due to Audi wishing to goad the momentum that pushed it to 1.5 million annual sales two years ahead of schedule.
It's also about staving off the challenges from BMW and Mercedes-Benz. Now that BMW has been able to turn some of its attention away from its "i" series of Megacity cars, it will reportedly spend more than planned in 2014 as it continues the rollout of ten all-new vehicles and 15 new-generation vehicles through the end of next year. Mercedes, having been dropped to third in the sales race, is preparing to add 13 new cars over the next six years.
Audi's money is going into technology, into product like the next-generation TT and the Q1 and production expansions and upgrades all over the world. The expenditure represents just under a fourth of Volkswagen's 84.2 billion-euro ($115.7 US) outlay devoted to taking the number-one global automaker title away from General Motors and Toyota by 2018.

2016 BMW X5 M is big and bold, not beautiful

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Awesome as it is, the BMW X5 M has never really been an attractive machine. Big and bulgy are the themes here, and that's only more pronounced with the X5's most recent refresh. But no matter, the X5 M has never been about looks - for this machine, it's all about performance, and BMW's hi-po crossover absolutely delivers in this regard.
Under the hood is the familiar 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8, though power has been boosted to 567 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque - healthy increases of 12 and 53, respectively, compared to the outgoing model. Hitting 60 miles per hour is said to take just four seconds, which is damn impressive considering this thing weighs well over 5,000 pounds.
But the X5 M has always been shockingly good to drive, with limits you'll never reach except in the most hardcore track scenarios (which we'd really like to see, by the way). It's not the prettiest thing ever, but that's okay. It's not exactly cheap, though, with prices starting at $99,650. Woof.
