 A "one-of-a- kind " "REAL FIND" ...More to follow


On Sep-01-14 at 17:25:51 PDT, seller added the following information:

This One-Of-A-Kind 1976 BMW 2002" is described as "highly refined" by the author in European Car magazine article (April of 1992) and  "a stunning runner more than able to vanquish contemporaneity performance cars". "An almost complete rehab"... "The exterior is exceptionally clean, the subtle restyling coming from a lowered suspension and 14in wheels, Suspension Techniques springs, front & rear in combination with Bilstein Sport struts and shocks".

I will attempt to highlight the the three page article on this car in bullet form:

  • Front strut brace
  • 22mm sway bars front & rear w/ red polyurethane bushings
  • tii front strut housings
  • tii dual piston calipers
  • Smaller rear slave cylinders
  • tii brake booster w/ master cylinder for additional line outlets to feed four piston on the front
  • Hard steel brake lines
  • Factory 25% slip differential with ring-and-pinion ratio of 3.64:1
  • Getrag overdrive 5-speed transmission
  • OE Bumpers shortened and lightened (quite noticeable reduced polar moment of inertia and improved overall handling)
  • Front spoiler
  • Cibie 100watt headlamps
  • Halogen brake light conversion
  • Factory sunroof
  • Factory Black Leather seats
  • Custom leather trim door pockets
  • BMW Formula One leather steering wheel
  • Black fascia instrument cluster incorporated from earlier 2002 using late model OE instruments
  • Added VDO gauges measuring boost/vacuum, oil pressure, oil temp
  • Clardy rotary air conditioner
  • Alpina dead pedal (a rare 2002 item)
  • Tri-Amp 700 watt stereo, with equalizer, subwoofer
  • Aviation grade lock nuts and bolts on forward portion of exhaust system
  • Bavarian Imports of Atlanta rebuilt engine w/8.0:1 CR Pistons
  • OE Camshaft
  • E-12 Cylinder head (has larger valves)
  • 12-lb Tilton aluminum flywheel
  • Sachs clutch assembly
  • Oil cooler, MSD ignition, tii ignition distributor
  • Exhaust w/Stahl headers
  • Custom exhaust / mufflers fitted for track
  • Camden Supercharger (installed during 1990"s)
  • Mikuni 40mm side draft carburetor
  • intercooler
  • All books and compete records
  • And more....

Note: It is not a happy car in the cold weather. It starts first crank in the spring, summer & fall but gets balky when the engine block is 40 degrees or colder. I am told this is normal for the old mechanics of such a car. I used a small booster when it was very cold. It always starts after three or four cranks and run great once engine warmed up no matter what the temperature. There are a few scratches in the exterior of sunroof that the pictures do not reveal (from when service repaired sunroof)

Watch a trio of Santas ride up Mulholland Drive

Wed, 25 Dec 2013

Santa Claus might have his eight reindeer - or nine, when it's foggy - to help him deliver presents in most parts of the world, but in southern California, it looks like he's traded up from Dasher, Dancer, Prancer and company to BMW, Yamaha and Ducati. RNickeyMouse is usually the place to check out spectacular motorcycle crashes on video along LA's Mulholland Drive, but a recent video caught a trio of Santas carving up the iconic, twisty road.
The three Santas are together, riding what appears to be a BMW S1000RR, Yamaha R1 and a hard-to-tell custom bike that could be a Ducati 1098. The video, which is posted below, also catches a bonus Santa riding solo on another S1000RR. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a cool bike!

BMW's EV tech is being used to resurrect the Karma

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Saying that luxury electric-vehicle manufacturer Fisker was beleaguered before its demise a few years back would be a gross understatement. But despite the cars self-immolating and Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticizing everything but the Karma's design, a Chinese auto parts manufacturer is resurrecting the brand under a different name: "Revero." That's according to a report from Wall Street Journal. Wanxiang Group is moving production to EV-hotbed California from Finland and will unveil its new ride either in July or August, but pricing hasn't been announced yet. The previous Karma sold for $100,000. Perhaps most interesting, though, is how it's going to address the reliability issues that plagued the company's predecessor. WSJ says that the automaker is licensing BMW's electric vehicle control and charging systems – a deal finalized last year. "There are huge, serious, major upgrades throughout the electronics systems, wiring, charging, battery," Karma's chief marketing officer Jim Taylor says. In terms of looks, though, it doesn't sound like you should expect anything to change in that department because the overhauls aren't going to be visible, according to Taylor. Wanxiang picked up Fisker's remains for $149 million a few years back. This deal is important, especially for BMW: If the German automaker's licensed tech can help Fisker outrun its smoky, checkered past, that's a high-profile win for everyone involved.

2015 BMW M3 is fast for the family man

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

BMW finally brought its four-door M3 into the public view, showing the new sedan off at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show. The new M3 represents BMW's return to small, wildly fast four-door sedans after a several year absence following the discontinuation of the E90 M3 Sedan way back in 2011.
The M3 enjoys the same 425-horsepower, 3.0-liter six-cylinder used in the M4, with 406 pound-feet of torque and the owner's choice of either an old-fashioned six-speed manual or a seven-speed M dual-clutch transmission. All told, the new powertrain should scoot the four-door M to 60 in a mere 3.9 seconds (with the M DCT).
We've got a full gallery of live images of the all-new M3 up above, and we've included the original stock gallery down below. Feel free to peruse either, and then let us know what you think by sounding off down in Comments.
