1972 Bmw 2002 Texas And Socal History - Good Structure For Rebuild - Clear Title on 2040-cars
Van Alstyne, Texas, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: BMW
Drive Type: 4 Speed
Model: 2002
Mileage: 118,300
Trim: 4 Speed
This is a 1972 BMW 2002 4 speed rolling project. The car was initially going to be the subject of a 2002 Turbo Clone type build, but plans have changed as they tend to do. The car was chosen primarily because of it's structural integrity and general lack of rust in the important areas. There are areas that will need attention, and the car isn't pretty, but this may fit your 2002 intentions and may be better than the car you're about to start on.
This car was originally silver, and started life in Southern California. At some point in time it came to Texas, and was last registered here in 2005 based on the stickers on the windshield. It had AC installed as well. The car has a clear Texas Title, no issues.
In anticipation of the build, the prior owner removed the original engine (it's long gone) but the original 4 speed is still in the car. The interior was also mostly taken out and some other odds and ends were removed. I've put most of the pieces back, but that's honestly just for organization (and these pictures) - expect to rebuild everything on this car, and having another parts car isn't a bad idea either as there are items that are missing (like a drivers seat). The prior owner also collected both a left and right door shell to replace the doors on the car. They're included. There is some waviness in the left rear fender, and the rear of both front fenders have bubbling. The roof has a large (but tough to see) depression in it. The only rust on the floors is on top of the pedal box, where a small patch will be needed. I've taken as many pictures as I could in broad daylight to illustrate the condition of the body. The shock towers are as solid as the day they were made in 1972. The pictures will tell the rest of the story of the body.
The car rolls, steers, and stops (with the handbrake) and can be easily pushed around with one hand. What you see is what is being offered in this auction.
In addition to this rolling body, I also have a 1974 Tii engine and 320i 5 speed that I'll offer the winning bidder for an additional $600. The engine has been dissasembled down to the short block, but turns over by hand. The head, fuel injection, and intake are in boxes. I can't guarantee every little piece is there, but it's a great start on a good Tii engine if you need one.
Please look at the pictures, and please don't underestimate the time or money (and probably both) it will take to get this 2002 back to life - Whether you want to get it back on the road or take it weekend racing it's a full rebuild if anything - but this is a good starting point for a car that seems to increase in value every year.
I'm north of Dallas, TX. This car has a clear title.

BMW i3 gets tuner treatment from Eve.Ryn
Sat, Oct 11 2014The BMW i3, especially when wearing its Capparis White paint job, already looks a bit like some sort of futuristic escape pod launched to Earth from a spaceship. It was only a matter of time until the electric car got touched by the eager hands of a tuner to make it even more eye-popping. It is, after all, a BMW. Japanese tuner Garage Eve.Ryn appears to be the first to give the i3 the inevitable once over. The result is a much more aggressive-looking EV, called the i3 EVO. We say aggressive-looking, because we have no information to suggest that the makeover was anything but cosmetic. The i3 EVO has slightly exaggerated fender flares, which stand out with their strips of carbon fiber along the edge. The redesigned front bumper looks like it could have been fashioned out of Star Wars stormtrooper armor, complete with fake air intakes and, of course, a helping of carbon. The rear end gets a diffuser, too. The large wheels feature blue accents, which help to highlight the Ice Blue bits already on the vehicle. For a closer look, check out the i3 EVO photos in the gallery and there are more like it on Eve.Ryn's Facebook page, in galleries here, here and here, as well as a more recent set of images showing the car emblazoned with Energy Motor Sport (a company that appears closely related to Eve.Ryn, on the distribution end) decals on the sides. There's no telling what the body kit does for the aerodynamics of the car, but it would be interesting to find out what effect Eve.Ryn's handiwork has on the i3's range. Either way, this surely won't be the last time a tuner finds a way to reimagine the BMW i3, so, love it or hate it, you might as well get used to it.
Excavator in China bashes BMW and Jeep out of the way
Tue, Jun 2 2015This Chinese construction site apparently has a zero tolerance policy towards obstacles getting in the way of work. When blocked by a Jeep and a BMW, the operator of this excavator pushes the two vehicles out of the way like they're toys. The Bimmer gets the brunt of the abuse, with the sedan getting lodged up against a fence. The exact context of this clip isn't entirely known, but The Mirror in Britain speculates the vehicles are illegally parked. But that doesn't explain why the excavator crashes through a gate later in the video. Also, this doesn't appear to be the case of a rogue operator taking out some frustrations, because a man with a walkie-talkie is leading the way and seemingly directing the destruction. Nonetheless, getting permission to knock these cars around was probably the highlight of this driver's day. News Source: The Mirror, AOL On BMW Jeep Crossover Videos Sedan
BMW i1 EV rumored, based on electric Mini
Tue, Apr 10 2018With just two BMW i cars currently available — and aging — we've been hankering to know what new EVs are coming down the pipeline for the Bavarian automaker. We've had news of the iNext and i4, caught wind of an iX3, and as BMW is in the early stages of a large electrification push, there has been a multitude of "i"-prefaced trademarks registered. The next we can expect, if the rumors from Spanish outlet Motor.es are to be believed, will be a diminutive i1 EV, based on the same platform as an upcoming electric Mini Cooper. As such, it would share the electric Mini's front-drive/front-motor configuration — previewed on the Mini Electric Concept, shown above, that debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year. It stands to reason that the i1 would be smaller than the high-roofed i3, possibly borrowing the five-door hatchback format from the 1 Series sold in Europe (which would be a long-awaited dream come true if it made its way to the United States). The electric car would be about a foot shorter than the 1 series, though, according to the report, at about 158 inches long. It would be built on an electric version of BMW modular UKL platform. Keep in mind, the BMW i1 is just a rumor at this point, with Motor.es keeping its sources unnamed. If true, though, it could replace the i3 in BMW's lineup five years from now, in 2023.
