1975 Bmw 2002 Turbo on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is my 75 2002 Turbo. I drove a 2002 to high school and have owned many of them over the years. I always dreamed of owning a turbo, but I have to pass this one along. The car is 100% original with the exception of an exterior repaint and a stereo. The mileage shown is original and correct. These are RARE cars and one with mileage this low is like finding the hope diamond on the sidewalk. Every single little piece and part that makes a turbo unique is original and intact. The biggest need the car has is to be repainted. The hood, right front fender and trunk lid have rust. The sale includes a new OEM fender. The other pieces are easy to get. There are a few bubbles at the top of the rear window and a couple tiny bubbles on the right door. Not enough to cause any serious concern. The underside of the car is clean as can be, as is the trunk. These are the areas that usually rust on 2002s. The tight rear fender suffered a dent when it was being shipped to Florida from the Netherlands 14 years ago. The body is otherwise clean and straight. The paint is about 20 years old, so anything that was "hidden" would be apparent by now. The car runs/ drives/ makes boost/ and stops. It had been sitting for 3 years, so we went through the fuel system and replaced the rear wheel cylinders. The brake booster is no longer working, and it needs ether to start when its cold. The transmission & limited slip diff work like new. The interior is nothing short of remarkable. There is a tiny crack in the dash. Unfortunately someone drilled a hole in the dash to install a radar detector. There is one split in the heel pad. And someone put speakers in the doors. I have done my best to list all of the things about the car that need attention. All of these things cross with a standard 2002. They are cheap and readily available. I used to do high end restorations for a living. Finding a good solid complete original car was always the best place to start. I never intended to restore this car as an unrestored "survivor"is far more appealing to me. I hope the description and photos tell the whole story. If not, email me. The reserve is reasonable. The latest issue of Sports Car Market has an article on 2002 Turbos as "the next big thing" What you pay for this car now will be a joke in one year. Look no further than early 911 prices. DO NOT email me asking about an offline BUY IT NOW. This is an auction. If I don't get what I want for it, it goes back under the cover until I feel like working on it. And yes, the plastic model kit is included with the purchase. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!

The valance is from a carbureted 2002 (the air inlet over the radiator should not be there) and the spoiler should only have one round opening as opposed to two. This work was done VERY well as there is no sign of crash damage anywhere on the car and it was described to me as having been accident free.

BMW reveals new X5 Security Plus in Moscow
Thu, 21 Aug 2014A major player in the Russian market, BMW is heading to the Moscow Motor Show this month with a slew of local debuts... most of which we've already seen. But among all the new models making the trek from Bavaria to Moscow will be the new X5 Security Plus.
In a new-model launch that will surprise exactly no one, BMW's latest armored vehicle upgrades the X5 with enhanced protection for oligarchs against Chechen rebels, AK47-touting gangsters and missiles randomly falling on Crimean highways. Now meeting the VR6 standard of ballistic protection, the new X5 Security Plus incorporates reinforced bodywork, seats and joints, along with bulletproof glass.
Of course all that reinforcement (not to mention the jars of beluga caviar and bottles of Stoli in the glovebox) will come with a weight penalty, but the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 ought to do the trick, driving 450 horsepower through BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system to get the vehicle's occupants out of a war zone in a hurry.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
BMW X4 tunes up its crossover game in Germany
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Except for the fancy wheels and the overly expressive fascias, the production version of the BMW X4 looks like it will carry over practically untouched from what we saw in the X4 Concept several months back. With the same fastback roofline as the concept, these spy shots show that the X4 is taking shape to be a baby version of the BMW X6.
Sharing the same platform as the X3, the lower and wider X4 will be positioned slightly more upmarket - as is the case with the X5 and X6. We hear that this could mean that the X4 will ditch the X3's base engine to give an even sportier feel right out of the gate, but word has it that an M version will being showing up down the road as well.
BMW has already revealed what it plans to show off at the Frankfurt Motor Show (i3, 4 Series Coupe, next-gen X5, refreshed 5 Series, X5 Concept eDrive plug-in hybrid and Concept Active Tourer Outdoor), so barring any surprised we definitely won't be seeing the X4 there. At this point, with as close to production as these images would have us believe, our best guess would be that we'll see the X4's official unveiling happen either at LA or Detroit.
