I looked for a long time for a nice 2002 before acquiring this car. This beautiful 1974 2002 Tii has been carefully maintained and upgraded by several enthusiasts over the last 40 years.
The first owner was a dentist who purchased it for his daughter, and after realizing she didn't like manual transmissions, sold it to Bob, owner number two, who is a long time BMWCCA member. Bob kept and enjoyed the car for 25 years, driving it through many US states, as well as an extended vacation in Europe one year. He upgraded the transmission to a BMW 5speed and also added a BMW limited slip differential (both imported from Germany)and last kept it in Arizona, where, after his long term ownership, he sold it to a friend in Arizona. Jim, owner number three, had a performance engine rebuild done on the original block by Top End Performance in North Hollywood, CA. Also added around that time were rear disc brakes, front and rear shock tower bracing by Top End Performance, a performance header for the exhaust, open air intake, and larger front and rear sway bars. Two more Arizona enthusiasts owned it after Jim, and then I purchased it not quite two years ago and drove it non stop from Phoenix to just northwest of Los Angeles, where it now resides. Over the last two years, I've had the car tuned up to run more optimally, fixed a few small annoying issues (loose shifter, noisy door hinge, small paint touch up, etc.) Although the engine only has about 12000 miles on it, I had a compression check done, and the readings were all between 180 and 192. The car starts right up whether it's been parked for two months or two minutes. The combination of the higher engine horsepower, 5 speed, four wheel disc brakes, and handling upgrades make it very fun to drive, whether on the freeway or a twisty back road. It supposedly has about 10-15% more power than stock, and I can say with certainty that it is faster than an MGA, but slower than a Tiger or GT500! The Behr air conditioner blows cold, and the older Blaupunkt stereo sounds good, and has hidden speakers (notice no speaker holes in the interior door panels or rear package shelf). The stereo also has a cassette deck and Sony CD stacker mounted in the trunk with remote, but I have only listened to the radio. A box full of receipts and maintenance records is included with the car, along with the owner's manual, BMWCCA tech manual, Volumes 1 & 2 of the BMW 2002 shop manual, and an extensive assortment of spare parts, as pictured. CONDITION: BODY...Aside from a few very professionally done minor touch ups, I believe that this has all original paint, as stated by prior owner and also professional body shop owner who inspected it for me. All chrome and glass are in great condition, stainless trim is great with exception of one ding on driver's side behind door, despite my efforts to park it far away from the crowds! All lenses are good except front left corner light has a small hole in the front edge of the plastic. I have a used replacement light for this. Chassis, except for a few small areas of surface rust (it's original, never been repainted) is straight and corrosion free, as shown in photos. All gaps are good, doors, trunk and hood open and shut properly. One key operates both doors, ignition and locking gas cap, a second key operates the trunk. INTERIOR...Front seats as shown are upgraded from a newer BMW and are very comfortable. Rear seat, side panels, headliner and carpet all appear to be original and in good to excellent condition. The driver's side door panel has a pencil-eraser sized flaw above the arm rest and the headliner has a small 1/4-1/2" slit above the passenger sun visor; these are the only significant flaws I've noticed. It has a Momo Prototipo steering wheel, as well as a three gauge cluster which resides where the original Tii clock was located (which is included)..The Baupunkt radio sounds good, the speakers are hidden (notice no speaker holes in the door panels or rear package shelf). It has a Sony CD stacker in the trunk with a remote control, but I haven't used that or the cassette deck. The Behr Air Conditioner works well and blows cold, which came in handy in Arizona! I believe the headliner and sun visors are original and very clean, aside from the one tiny slit noted. The front corner windows open and shut, the door windows roll up and down easily, and the rears pop out. The carpet is protected by older Coco floor mats, which are in good shape, except for the driver's mat which has worn where your heal rests. It also has competition belts sitting on the rear floor which connect into the stock belts, but I haven't used them. TRUNK...Has the jack, tool kit, spare rim (bottle cap style with an older unused Mojave radial spare tire), original floor panels. Top End Performance rear shock tower brace/battery holder have been added. No rust or damage as shown, even in spare tire well. Nice original paint on panels and inside of trunk lid. ENGINE...Compartment holds performance rebuilt original engine, with upgraded header, air cleaner, MSD ignition/coil set up. Original air cleaner, coils and exhaust manifold included. Aftermarket horns added, original BMW stickers are in place. Insulation added under hood. In December, 2012 I had the spark plugs and wires replaced, valves adjusted, the air filter serviced and the fuel injection serviced and adjusted, and had the compression checked at that time (192, 185, 185, 180). I've put about 554 miles on the car since then. It runs very strong and smooth, and starts up easily whether it's been sitting for two minutes or two months. When not in use, it is kept covered in a garage and on a battery tender. I try to drive it at least once every one to two months for at least 20-30 minutes. MISCELLANEOUS...The tires are Michelin Pilot Exalto AS 195/60 R14 with very low miles and in my opinion look and handle very well on the mesh style rims. The brakes stop well and straight, and the car handles great...driving this, you can see why the 2002, especially the Tii, really put BMW on the map! SUMMARY...While I don't profess to be a BMW expert, I believe this is one of the best original paint 2002 Tii's you'll find anywhere. While it absolutely isn't stock or restored, it's very enjoyable to drive, looks great, and all non-original parts are bolted on. When I purchased it in September, 2012, I drove it the roughly 450 miles from Phoenix to Ventura without a hitch, but thought it could run stronger, and it now does. So, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere, but with that said, it's 40 years old and is for sale without warranty expressed or implied, and is for sale as is. I have acquired a few other older cars since this one, and reluctantly must sell something, so this is it...I'm sure I'll regret it once it's gone, but that's the way it goes! This is an auction with what I believe to be a fair reserve. I don't have to sell it, and it is being advertised elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction if it sells elsewhere. I'm also not interested in playing scam games like sending it out with a bogus check to cover costs, etc., so please don't try. I am willing to hold it for up to three weeks at no charge after the auction if paid in full. If you have less than 15 Ebay feedbacks you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel the bid. I can make it available for a shipper to pick up after all funds have been cleared by my bank, but shipping costs and arrangements are up to the buyer. Any inspections must be arranged with me prior to the end of the auction. The car is kept in secure storage in the 93004 zip code, Ventura, California. I require a $1000 non refundable deposit to my Paypal account within 24 hours of the auction end by buyer, and the remaining purchase funds to be in my possession within five business days, by cash or certified check. The car will not leave my premises until all funds clear my bank. For questions, you can write through Ebay, or call or leave a message at (80five) 21eight-550three. Thank you for your time and interest! |

2023 CES Editors' Picks
Mon, Jan 9 2023Over the past few years, it has become more and more clear that the Consumer Electronics Show is a car show. And this year that reality is more clear than ever. Not only did established automakers show off seriously important vehicles, but a traditional electronics company brought a car that gives an idea of its intents (with the help of establishment car company). With so many car reveals, we had to rank our favorites. Our picks for this show are entirely electric. Or at least, they are on paper, since many are concepts. Considering the name of the show, it would be a little strange if they weren't. In fact, not only are many of our favorites concepts, they all are save for one. See how they shook out below. VW ID7 camo View 28 Photos 5. Volkswagen ID.7 "The ID.7 definitely got lost in the crowd at CES. That it was camouflaged definitely didn't help, even if that camo was electroluminescent (BMW trumped it big time with its color-changing Dee). Nevertheless, this is a close-to-production hatchback-ed sedan, not unlike today's Arteon, with an extra-long wheelbase courtesy its EV architecture. It should be a solid answer to the Tesla Model 3 and Hyundai Ioniq 6, and even if people obviously prefer SUVs now, VW says there is still a market for sedans. I know I'd probably prefer one." –Senior Editor, West Coast and Reviews, James Riswick Peugeot Inception concept View 12 Photos 4. Peugeot Inception "It's not often that show debuts surprise us. While Peugeot teased the Inception ahead of CES, its unveiling seemed almost incidental. But just look at this thing; it's like an electric French Mustang with someplace important to be. I don't buy into the stupid 'It's not a wheel!' thing that Peugeot CEO Linda Jackson described as providing a video-game-like drive experience, but that bit of silliness aside, this is a really promising design study. Give us more of these and fewer tall boxes, please." –Associate Editor Byron Hurd Afeela prototype from Sony Honda Mobility View 11 Photos 3. Afeela by Sony Honda “Ever since Sony showed off an impressively put-together concept car at CES a few years ago, IÂ’ve been anticipating the companyÂ’s next move. Apparently, that next move is “Afeela.” No, I donÂ’t love the name. The specs from SonyÂ’s original concept car give me hope that this prototype sportback (itÂ’s a hatchback!) will be fun to drive, though.
BMW i3 with range extender won't get all the EV tax benefits in NJ
Wed, Jun 4 2014Everyone loves that new-car smell, but not everyone loves that new-car tax. And whoever in New Jersey thought the extended-range version of the BMW i3 plug-in would be exempt from said tax was sorely mistaken, Green Car Reports says. To paraphrase the Garden State's favorite son, Bruce Springsteen, the first kick those drivers will take is when they hit the ground. BMW said last year that the BMW REx would qualify for new-car tax exemptions in New Jersey and in Washington State. The car's all-electric range was recently estimated at 72 miles and it has another 87 miles of gas-powered range-extended capability. Unfortunately, the range extender not only tacks on $3,850 to the car's sticker price but adds on almost that much again because New Jersey's seven-percent sales tax applies to all cars with any sort of gas-powered engine. BMW didn't respond to a request for comment about the New Jersey situation from AutoblogGreen. In other New Jersey electric vehicle news, the Consumer Affairs Committee of the New Jersey State Assembly will discuss the legality of Tesla selling directly to consumbers tomorrow. The extended-range i3 is involved in a different issue on the other side of the country. BMW said earlier this year that the REx would qualify for California's white zero-emission vehicle stickers that allow for solo access to high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes. These unlimited white stickers can go on any EV, but the REx version only qualifies for the green stickers, which are designated for plug-in hybrids and extended-range plug-ins and the state has run out of those.
KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
