Hello eBay fans!  Welcome to my auction.  On the auction block today is a really nice driver quality BMW 2002.  The 1973 model is the last year to use all of the chrome on the bumpers and the sought after round tail lights.  This is a really nice little car.  It looks good and it runs good too.

This 2002 is located in Ridgefield, CT, but has been a west coast California and Oregon car.

The BMW is finished in its factory color of Verona Red and has Black Leatherette interior.  This little car catches everybody’s attention wherever it goes.  The body is not rusty, but there is some evidence of rust under the car and there is a repaired hole in the spare tire well.  It is still a really solid little car.  As you can see from the shots of the floor under the carpets, the floors are solid and original.

I have done a lot to this car to really help it along.  It has a new windshield and front and rear new rubber and seals.  I also just installed a new mechanical fuel pump.  Those of you paying very close attention may see an electric fuel pump in the photographs, but that has been changed back to a factory mechanical one. 

As I mentioned, the 2002 runs well.  It starts right up and does not smoke cold or warm.  I have noticed a few drops of gear oil under the car from time to time, but the engine is sealed up tight.  The transmission shifts well through all gears and there are no syncro problems whatsoever.  The clutch is strong, but you will feel some chatter from the flywheel if you are one who rides the clutch when starting off.

The BMW stops straight and true and the tires are in great shape.

The wipers now use a toggle under the dash for operation and one of the license plate lights are missing.  The little plastic clip on the passenger side visor just broke.  The engine is currently running a Webber carb with a hi-pro air filter, but the original is in the trunk.  The chrome bumperettes are in there too.  There really isn’t a whole lot else that this car needs.

Please keep in mind, this is not a barn find old car that was just resurrected for sale.  This car has been road worthy its whole life.  Also keep in mind that if you are new to vintage car ownership, a good and honest European mechanic is the key to a lifelong love affair with your vintage auto.  Cars like this BMW were meant to last a very long time, but do require love in the form of service and repairs.

I am setting the reserve very low and I know the 2002 will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. 

#1.  Only bid if you have intentions to buy. 

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. 

#3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. 

Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase.  I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that.  Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out.  Just call me and we will work out a fair price.. 

Also, this is a good BMW and I love it, but there of those in the world of BMW that will not.  Please do not expect a new car here.  This car is over 40 and has not been through a nut and bolt restoration.  This is a driver’s car.  Sure, you can show it..  But please be reasonable with your expectations if you are a perfectionist.  This is an AS-IS sale.  The miles stated what shows on the odometer and may reflect miles over the mechanical limits of the gage.
