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! |

2013 Nissan GT-R and 2013 Alpina B6 mix it up on track and street
Fri, 24 May 2013
Here we have Autocar making an unforeseen comparison: the Nissan GT-R against the Alpina B6 at Brands Hatch and on public roads. Steve Sutcliffe clobbers the circuit in the 3,828-pound, all-wheel-drive sports car, then sees how well the 4,114-pound, rear-wheel drive grand tourer does against it.
Sutcliffe says there are quite a few similarities between the two cars, but that's really only on the spec sheet. The Nissan's got two turbos attached to its 3.8-liter V6, 542 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The Alpina's got two turbos attached to its 4.4-liter V8, 532 hp and 528 lb-ft. But one's brief is to be a monster on the track, the other on the boulevard, and if there's anything the video demonstrates, it's each car's focus.
BMW pitting self-drifting car against drift champion
Mon, Mar 9 2015The BMW M235i certainly makes a capable drift machine. Last year, the Bavarian brand had five of them with the tail out in unison in South Africa for the Driftmob. The coupe even proved that it could slide without a driver's intervention. For the latest sideways stunt, the company wanted to know which was the better drifter: an autonomous car or a human. This clip is just the trailer for BMW's entire drift challenge video, and it seemingly gives away the ending of the whole thing. We're sure, though, that there must be something more to the stunt than what's on display here. The driverless Audi TTS from Stanford University was reportedly slightly faster than an amateur racer around Thunderhill Raceway Park recently, and BMW has also been working at this problem for years with things like its Track Trainer. Regardless of how you feel about driverless cars, it's amazing how quickly autonomous tech is progressing – even on the track.

Sunday Drive: A new Rambo Lambo takes center stage
Sun, Dec 10 2017Surprise! Autoblog readers love fast cars. Doesn't matter what shape; doesn't matter what size. As long as it's got big power, wicked acceleration, and ludicrous speed, you're interested. Take, for instance, the brand-new Lamborghini Urus. It's got a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 sending 641 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque through an 8-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. It hits 62 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds, and has a top speed of 189.5 mph. Ludicrous speed? Check. And although you'd be hard pressed to draw a line straight back from the upcoming Urus to the old, off-road-ready LM002, at least you can say that Lamborghini does have a history of producing overpowered SUVs. A 5.2-liter V12 engine producing 444 horsepower and borrowed from the Countach certainly qualifies as big power, especially considering this was in the 1980s and '90s. A prime example just sold for nearly half a million bucks. Moving along to more traditional sportscars, we got a sneak peek at the next Porsche 911's interior, thanks to some intrepid spy photographers. And we spy with our little eyes some major changes to the quintessential German sportscar. Finally, we round out this Sunday Drive with two First Drive reports. Both are German, but past that, they couldn't be more different. Either way, ludicrous speed is all but guaranteed by either one. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog for all the latest automotive news that's fit to print.
