1972 BMW 2002 Racing Dynamics “Roundie” E10 If ever there was an automotive trendsetter, BMW's 2002 was
it. This is the car that literally spawned the soon-to-be-popular
Sport GT category and, in the end, was one of the main reasons that the
Bavarian Motor Werks became the successful car company that it is today. Speed Sports is proud to offer this ultra clean example
of a “Roundie” BMW 2002. This car with
its extremely well documented history and great performance upgrades, I am sure
will be very desirable and sought after.
It is rare to find a car of this caliber today. We have a 4” thick folder of documents, original
manuals, receipts and a logbook of everything done to this car. Most of the work was done at a well-known local
BMW shop Mike O’Hara. The records date
back to the mid-80’s and includes the last 2 owners. The car was purchased by the most recent owner with 54800 miles
in 1991; the speedo was replaced 3 months later with a higher top speed speedo
that had 27790 miles. Doing the math,
this means the car has 86k original miles.
Very, low miles for a 42-year-old car.
The Prior owner spent $$$ on its restoration and performance
upgrades. I could not think of a better
built 2002 than this one, everything was done right. All of the Racing Dynamic upgrades , the
suspension, and engine upgrades really make this a great Sports Car. The matching Racing Dynamics wheels, steering
wheel, spoiler and shift knob are in excellent condition and give this car a
great stance. The suspension is all
Bilstien performance shocks and springs, big sway bars make it handle like it
is on rails. We replaced the old
Yokohama A-509 tires with more modern rubber, and it goes down the road
straight and true. The suspension is
very comfortable and not too harsh. The
engine was redone in 1988 and upgraded, about 40k ago, it was a complete, fresh, blue
printed rebuild. It has Weber performance carburetors and performance exhaust
with a cookie cutter exhaust tip. The motor starts right up and runs very smooth,
with no smoke or bad noise. We replaced some hoses on it, and gave it a full inspection
as well as an oil change when we acquired the car. I have put a couple hundred miles on this car running around
town and it is a real hoot to drive. The paint is very good looking, we had the front spoiler
repainted, but the rest is how we got it.
It does not have any rust anywhere.
It is solid in all the bad areas that these car typically have. Floors,
strut towers, rear shock mounts and all suspension points are perfect. There are no surprises here. The body has a couple small dings and dents ,
on the roof there is a small dent
upwards from too long of a screw being put in.
It is covered up with “M” style sticker.
The interior has Recaro seats and newer carpet, door panels
and rear parcel tray. It is all in
excellent condition. It has had some nice trunk panels built to
protect things from denting the inside of the trunk and finish it off
cleanly. Other non-stock upgrades are;
Alpine stereo system and alarm and power door and trunk locks/release. For whatever reason the car has been driven very little over
the last 14 years. It was stored properly in a climate controlled shop and we
made sure to take all the proper steps when we brought it back into regular
use. This car is strong enough to be daily driven, autocross or
kept in any collection. Every time I drive
this car, I wish I could just keep it forever! Call 503 475 8078 Josh or Matt 503 819 9007 for details Inspections prior to end of auction are welcome.

BMW Individual gives 760Li a Sterling reputation
Thu, 24 Oct 2013Standard chrome too plebeian for your taste? You can order a Rolls-Royce with its Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament made out of just about anything you want: gold, silver, glass... you name it. But if your sense of style is a bit less Anglo and a bit more Saxon, BMW has another option for you.
Feast your eyes on the BMW Individual 760Li Sterling edition. (But don't look directly at it. Don't you dare.) Crafted in partnership between BMW Individual and the silversmiths at Robbe & Berking, the special 7 Series is adorned with hammered sterling silver trim inside and out. The twin-kidney grille, the emblems, the interior trim panels... all hand-made in silver. So you won't want to park this particular Bimmer in the wrong neighborhood, because unlike the Rolls ornament, these don't retract safely under the hood.
The special edition gets a dark grey exterior tint and brown leather interior, the best to highlight the silver brightwork. Otherwise it's mechanically identical to any other 760Li (or so we would presume, as the press release didn't mention specifically), that being the flagship version of BMW's flagship sedan, complete with 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 at the front end of a long wheelbase. Check it out in the gallery above, including the build process at both BMW Individual and Robbe & Berking, and press release below.
BMW M4 Coupe laps 'Ring in 7:52, bests outgoing M3
Thu, 19 Jun 2014Comparing Nürburgring Nordschleife lap times is a bit of a black art, especially when looking at times officially set by manufacturers matched against other sources. Driver skill and weather conditions play a huge roll in determining a quality time. Still, it appears BMW fans have reason to celebrate because the new M4 Coupe beat the previous-generation M3 by 13 seconds in a recent test by Germany's Sport Auto magazine.
Sport Auto conducts what it calls the Supertest, where it runs performance cars around the 'Ring and the short course at Hockenheim to create its own database of comparable times. The M4 with a dual-clutch transmission, ceramic brakes and Michelin Pilot Supersport tires managed a quality 7 minutes 52 second lap around the 12.8-mile course, compared to 8:05 from the last M3, according to BimmerPost. The new coupe also beat the magazine's posted times for the Audi RS5 Coupe, which did it in 7:59, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG with an 8:01, but couldn't quite match the 7:44 set by a 911 Carrera S. Still, BMW must be somewhat pleased with these results of its new 425-horsepower coupe because it posted the magazine's cover and an image of the time on its official M Facebook page.
While the M4 apparently stands up to contemporaries and predecessors, new generations of the AMG and RS models are reportedly on the horizon. In other words, more tests will come.
BMW planning X4 M Performance diesel? [w/poll]
Wed, 04 Dec 2013With the arrival of the new X4 in March, BMW will expand its crossover portfolio by one more model. But while some enthusiasts may have been disappointed by the news that the Bavarian automaker isn't likely to authorize an M version of the compact slantback crossover, this latest development could help bridge the gap.
Although the line used to be quite clear between standard BMWs and M models, Munich has been blurring it with the M Performance treatment. Those have included models like the M135i hatchback and M235i coupe, the diesel-powered M550d sedan and wagon and X5 and X6 M50d crossovers. Now word has it that BMW could follow a similar formula with the X4, creating a sub-M performance model.
What's more is that the X4 M Performance model could go diesel, following a similar formula that Audi undertook with its first performance crossover, the SQ5 TDI. The major difference here is that when Audi brought the SQ5 to these shores, it ditched the diesel for a gasoline engine. Could BMW do the same?
