1975 BMW 2002. I have owned the car for roughly two years, and when I purchased it I had it shipped here from Reno,
NV. The time I had the car it was garage kept and did not see snow. I did drive it daily April through October,
including multiple 5 + hour trips with no issues, besides dealing with people honking and giving the thumbs up or
hang loose hand gesture (this is a very common occurrence). The car is in excellent shape and has very little rust
considering it was in a dry climate most of its life. I recently took it to Nikolas Motorsports where the entire
engine was rebuilt, which cost roughly $7500. I have the receipts. The engine also has a Weber 38/38. (Engine has
only 38 miles on it, the odometer reads 55,xxx). I was also told that the car has a TII block and a hotter cam, but
cannot verify without cracking the head open.
Parts included in rebuild:
- Ceramic coated pistons and bearings (bored .030 over)
- Engine gasket set
- Rod bearing set
- Main bearing set
- Chain guide
- Head gasket set
- Crankshaft
- Piston ring set
- Rod set
- Head bolts
- Oil pump
- Rod bolts/nuts
- misc. parts
(All engine work has a two year warranty by Nikolas Motorsports)
In addition to engine rebuild, I also had them install a new driveshaft and install new suspension bushings
throughout the car. I have all the receipts from the previous owner as well (Reno Rennsport, etc.)
Other upgrades include Alpine stereo system throughout car with bluetooth, 15" Rota rims with nearly brand new
Yokohama S-Drive tires, Ireland Engineering stage II springs with all around, dash cover (that's a plastic cover,
not the original underneath which has cracking), new window seals in rear and door seals (which need to be glued
better) and that beautiful vintage wooden steering wheel. I will throw in all of the original springs and tires.
I'll even throw in the extra wooden steering wheel, although I feel this one looks better, don't you?
The bad:
I tried to take pictures of all the bad with this car, although none of these issues are severe or major.
- Tears in both seats.
- Speedometer glass fell out, but I do have it, just never got around to putting it back in.
- Rear of headliner is tacked in (in pictures).
- Hood has a weird cracking rust spot, which was POR15'd by previous owner. Rust and cracking has stopped, just an
eye sore.
- Misc. chips and dings on body (I drove it daily, as did the previous owner in Reno...isn't that what you're
supposed to do?)
- Right Window sits kind of funky when rolled up all the way, an easy fix I just never took it apart to make it
perfect.
- Missing washer fluid reservoir.
- Missing left license plate light.
I have tried to list everything about the car as thoroughly as possible along with many pictures, but would be glad
to take any additional pictures upon request.

2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe is ready for your favorite roads
Mon, 14 Jan 2013We've known about the ins and outs of the lovely BMW M6 Gran Coupe for a while now, but that doesn't mean we weren't happy to see the thing in the metal for the first time, here in Detroit.
The M-tuned Gran Coupe utilizes the same 4.4-liter forced-induction V8 that powers both the BMW M6 and the M5, with an output of 560 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. The fast four-door brings up 60 miles per hour in just 4.1-seconds - the same sprint time as the M6 coupe and a few tenths quicker than the M5 - and up to a limited top speed of 155 mph.
We love those performance figures - this is one new Bimmer that we're amped to get some seat time in - though we're not super crazy about the selection of chrome wheels on this particular show car. Tells us what you think about the hotted up Gran Coupe in comments, below.
Weekly Recap: Toyota wants cars to be your 'close friends' around 2020
Sat, Oct 10 2015Toyota confirmed plans this week to launch autonomous technology in its production cars around 2020. The automaker's version is called Highway Teammate, and it's one element of a broader mobility strategy that includes vehicles communicating with each other and the grid. "Toyota believes that interactions between drivers and cars should mirror those between close friends who share a common purpose, sometimes watching over each other and sometimes helping each other out," the company said in a statement. That sounds utopian, and perhaps a bit cheesy, but it's an acknowledgment that autonomous driving requires more than technology developed in a vacuum. Toyota is looking at its research in a broader context, and dubs its overall strategy the Mobility Teammate Concept. Highway Teammate is the first step. Its test vehicle is a modified Lexus GS, which uses road-mapping data and external sensors to merge or exit highways, change lanes, and maintain safe distances during driving. It's operated on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Toyota has been working on autonomous tech since the 1990s, with the goal of providing mobility for older people and the disabled, as well as lowering the frequency of traffic accidents. Toyota's push comes as an early adopter, Nissan, is hedging on its own deadline to implement the autonomous tech by 2020 due to a lack of firm laws governing self-driving cars around the world. Conversely, Volvo took the landmark step of being the first automaker to accept liability for when its cars will operate in autonomous mode, and urged the US government to set federal guidelines to regulate the technology. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW M4 GTS: Your water-injected, turbo-boosted demon BMW is unleashing its most powerful M4 ever, a 493-horsepower special edition that's road legal yet bred for the track. The company is making 700 copies for sale around the world, and 300 of them will come to the United States. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder revs to 7,600 rpm and uses a water-injection technology to cool the intake air and lower the compression temperature. BMW says this allows it to wring more power out of the inline six. The car also uses carbon-fiber reinforced plastic for the roof, hood, engine compartment strut brace, drive shaft, and rear spoiler to reduce weight. The M4 features BMW's organic light-emitting diode taillights, which are said to be an industry first.
NHTSA urges owners of recalled Takata airbag vehicles to take immediate action
Mon, 20 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Department of Transportation are taking the unusual step of issuing a followup press release urging owners of certain recalled vehicles "to act immediately" to fix their cars and trucks. The problem in question concerns the repair campaigns for rupturing Takata airbag inflators issued in June and covers a long list of models from Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Infiniti, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac.
While NHSTA doesn't specifically say why the recall is vital in the new release, Toyota's own explanation in its newly announced renotification campaign earlier today sheds some new light on the topic. According to the Japanese automaker, in testing, Takata found a possible link between the rupturing airbag inflators and high humidity. NHTSA is advocating that all owners pursue repairs immediately if they haven't already done so already. This is especially crucial for those drivers especially in Florida, Puerto Rico, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Virgin Islands and Hawaii because of the humid conditions there.
We don't need to tell you how dangerous an inadvertent airbag deployment could be - even in a stationary vehicle - but adding to the Takata issue is fears that the deployment could lead to shrapnel being sprayed into the cabin.
