Miami, Florida, United States

I bought this car recently (about 8 months ago) with the full intention of keeping it for at least a few years. Didn't think I was not going to be able to spend enough time on the car (I have 7 mo old baby keeping me busy!). I've tackled a few small projects, which I will detail.

OK, this is a 1976 BMW 2002 auto. Last year of production for this classic.

Pretty much stock as far as I can tell, other than small modifications like Weber 32/36 double barrel carb and most of the SMOG equipment removed.

Engine runs strong, does not overheat, even in 95 degree Miami weather and stop and go traffic on I-95! Does not smoke or burn oil. A few tiny drops of oil here and there.

Transmission shifts perfect. Will kick a little bit when R is engaged. I'm quite certain a new tranny mount will take care of this.

Suspension is good. Needs new tie rods and possibly some bushings also.

Brakes are fine. Matching Michelin tires with 75-80% life left.

Interior is decent. Passenger side bottom has a rip. Drivers back a couple small holes. Rear seats are ok other than a repair done on the upper RH corner of the back. Door cards and rear panels are fine. New seat hinge covers. Both doors open and close perfectly fine. So do the windows and vents. Carpet is OK. Coco mats for the front only in great shape. Dash has a few cracks, but it's still very solid. Instrument cluster is working fine other than clock, wich is not. I have a spare cluster with a tach that I intended to replace but never got to it. This will go with the car together with a list of new and used spares which I list at the end.

Glovebox is in good shape and closes good.

Headliner has two rips. Otherwise clean and tight. I have an OEM headliner, pre-sewn. This will go with the car also.

Both sunvisors are in perfect condition.

The car is equipped with A/C. All the components are there but it does not blow cold. Compressor clutch does not engage. I did not spend any time figuring out what could be wrong. It may be as simple as a fuse, freon charge or a complete rebuild. Who knows. Blower works in all speeds.

Radio is there but is not connected.

Dome light works. all backlighting works good, inlcuding the dimmer and shifter light. All controls work fine.

The body of the car is in very good condition. There is no rust other than some surface pitting in the paint, mostly on the roof. Shock towers are impeccable. Rockers are also perfect. With minimal preparation and nice paint job this car will look like a million bucks! Body is very staight!

Trunk is very clean and there is no rust at all. OEM jack and tools are present. A brand new tool roll is inlcuded.

Engine bay is clean. Picture does not show the windshield wiper fluid tank, but I have a used one with no leaks and new cap. Just never installed it back.

As mentioned most of the SMOG equipment has been removed or disabled by previous owner. I removed all the unnecessary wiring related, which was left behind disconnected.

New Optima battery 30 days ago. I cleaned, primed and repainted the batter bracket. New hold down rod. New grounding strap and positive cable (OEM). New headlights (Sealed beams) replaced 30 days ago.

Parts offered with the car:

Used set of door cards and one rear panel.

Used instrument cluster with tach.

Used but great condition OEM rims with hub caps.

New OEM front licence plate bracket.

New OEM headliner.

New and used assortment of body clips/retainers.

New thermostat.

New fuse kit.

Used sealed beam.

New OEM LH rear light gasket.

So, this is a very solid car. Fantastic candidate for a quick restoration project (paint, upholstery and other small things here and there). Don't expect a showroom car. This one is not! I have been driving this car 4-5 times a week for the past several months without a single incident. It's a daily driver as-is.

This 2002's are going up in price weekly, so there is no loosing in buying a good solid one like this.

Inspections and test drives are welcome and encouraged. Bring your friend, mechanic, father in law, etc. All this BEFORE you commit to buy the car. Ebay is not a game. Posting this costs real money, so don't play with me! Bidders with less than 2 positive feedback please contact me before bidding. Otherwise bids will be cancelled by me.

Payment is as follows: immediate deposit of $500 by paypal. Balance no later than 5 days after auction by cashiers check of any bank with a branch in Miami, FL, or cash. I could accept Paypal or c/c, but check with me before considering this.

Car is located in Miami, FL 33133. Driven almost daily to Key Biscayne, FL 33149. Will assist buyer with shipping. But all arrangements of transport will be made by buyer. All costs related to be paid by buyer.

As you can expect this car is offered AS-IS, no warranties implied or expressed.

FL clear title in hand to my name.

To arrange for a viewing or test drive contact me at 786-999-4811 or e-mail me.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Gigafactory gets high-tech neighbors, BMW i8 still comes with a long wait

Tue, Jan 20 2015

Switch plans to build a large data center near the site of Tesla's Gigafactory battery production facility in Reno, Nevada. The 3 million square-foot facility in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center will cost $1 billion to build, and eBay is expected to be the main tenant when the first portion is finished in 2016. Apple is also building a data center nearby. One draw for companies like Switch, Apple and Tesla is access to the region's clean power, and the Reno area could become the next big center for high-tech manufacturing. Read more at GigaOm. Daniel Sparks of investing website The Motley Fool has shared his insights after living with the Tesla Model S for four months and 10,000 miles. After driving his 85-kW version through various conditions, including a 2,200-mile road trip, Sparks is optimistic about the car and the company behind it. From his experience, he says that charging is easier than most people believe, and that range anxiety isn't a problem. He calls Tesla's growing Supercharger network a "game changer," citing their quickness, availability and the fact that charging is free for life. He also says that most people seem to know very little about the car. Still, he calls Tesla stock "pricey" with the growth already priced into the shares. Read more at USA Today. The wait for a BMW i8 is about a year, despite efforts to ramp up production. BMW is reducing production of the i3 in order to increase the number of i8s by more than 50 percent for 2015, but the bigger batch won't become available in the US until October. Ludwig Willisch, CEO of BMW North America, says that he doesn't expect cheap gas to slow sales of the i3. He also denies rumors of an i9 positioned above the i8. The new 7 Series appears to be taking some cues from the i8, though, with carbon fiber, magnesium and aluminum construction, as well as improved connectivity. Read more at Automotive News.

BMW to unveil X4 in March

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

It's been about half a year since BMW unveiled the X4 concept in Shanghai. But if you've been waiting for news on when it will reach production, the latest intel indicates it'll be announced next March.
Just when in March? That's the strange part. Inautonews reports having been told by BMW that the new X4 will be announced on March 14. So, the Geneva Motor Show, then? Not quite: although that show will still be going on then, the doors open to journalists like us on March 4, not 14. So either someone has got some details mixed up, or BMW - for some reason - is planning on waiting until after Geneva to reveal the production X4.
Whenever it does, we'll be looking at a slantback version of the X3, much like BMW did with the X5 and X6, giving Bavaria a rival to the Range Rover Evoque and Porsche Macan.
