 Hi, I have a 1976 BMW 2002 in Indianapolis that is partially restored. I would like to sell in hopes of buying a roundie later on.  I'll try to be as detailed as I can, though message me with any questions, please!

It was purchased in Florida last year and I have worked on it almost every day up until previous winter.  Mileage unknown as odometer doesn't work (as usual), though I don't believe it has been rebuild as it uses about 1/2 quart of oil every 1000 miles or so.  It is an Automatic (which shift perfectly through all gears) and has a electric sunroof (originally hand crank, but I installed it using an original Bosch sunroof motor) as well as Behr A/C (needs to be purged).  It is very solid (rockers, shock towers) and would only need two things to be a daily driver: a radiator and front axle work.  A new paint job and detailing can make this a show car easily.

Things I've done:
- The only areas that had major rot-through rust were the driver and passenger floor, so I had in new sheet metal welded in both areas.
- The underbody and rear subframe has POR-15 semi gloss black.
- The sunroof drain tubes were rusted out and have been repaired. The rear tubes drain above the rear wheel arch.
- Headliner has been installed (albeit not the best) as well as tan cut-pile carpet (molded).
- Sound deadener has been applied on the floor pans and rear seat back.
- New rear quarter window seals.
- New sunroof felt/rubber seals.
- New primary and secondary muffler from ANSA.
- A/C controls didn't work when I bought it, but I fixed the electric part. It needs to be purged and recharged.  Included is two freon cans to refill.  The compressor works, but may need oil. Also one of the refrigerant hoses was broken so I bought a new hose and fitting which need to be crimped.
- Removed red engine fan and replaced with electric fan in front of condenser. (still have original parts).
- Removed emissions wiring
- New idle jet.

Things previously done before purchased:
- 32/36 DGEV with water choke.
- Later E30 bottlecap wheels. (Originally wheel as spare, but no tire)
- Originally Sahara.  Repainted Green (I believe a Mercedes color) at South Beach Classics.  Not a great paint job, and there was at one time a satalite radio receiver on the trunk taken off, leaving a Sahara tan patch. Some scratches here and there but overall, its all one color and mostly nice.
- Some VERY MINIMAL body filler on sunroof, near front sunroof drain exit, and valence.
- CD Player (Occasionally skips depending on the disk.)  Door panel and parcel shelf speakers (which sound tolerable)

Things needing to be done:
- Most notably and recently: the front brakes, bearings, and alignment.  It takes almost two feet to stop the car so I wouldn't recommend driving it very far/fast.
- Also a big deal: it needs a new radiator badly.  There is a mini geyser under the grille that makes it somewhat embarrassing to drive.  It doesn't overheat as long as the water is topped off.
- The A/C, as mentioned.  Or it can be removed.
- For a show car, the sunroof needs a new lid, new guides and some TLC.  It closes too high in the front.  It would be better to get one from a donor car.  However, the motor works fine.  It will also keep you dry as I fixed the drains. $200 for a new lid from 2002ad.com if you desire to get a new one.
- No horn buttons (horn works though...the buttons just broke.)
- Some minor scratches and a shallow door ding (repainted over before I purchased it.)
- Rear window seal was aftermarket and doesn't fit right, but keeps water out. Always buy OEM I now learned.  I do have the chrome strip though I will include.

Seats have no tears at all and the dash is not substantially cracked.  All electrics/lights work.  It may POSSIBLY need a starter in the distant future as it has given me trouble ONLY ONCE (hitting it with a rachet fixed it).  Transmission shifts perfectly.  I kept most everything original other than the electric fan.  Have all the parts when first purchased which I will include.  Also some misc parts (additional cluster parts, new rear wheel bearings, A/C manifold gauges)

Consumer Reports' first motorcycle reliability report finds Japanese brands ahead

Sat, 22 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has released its first ever study of motorcycle reliability, and students of its ratings on cars might notice a suspicious similarity - Japanese brands require fewer repairs than the leading American or German brands.
The study analyzed the reliability of 4,680 bikes owned by CR subscribers and found that Yamaha had the best ratings, with just one in ten bikes built between 2009 and 2012 requiring a repair over a four-year period. The makers of the R1 and R6 sport bikes were closely followed by Kawasaki and Honda, while one out of every four of the rumbling bikes from Harley-Davidson experienced an issue. BMW had the worst rating of the brands represented, with one in three bikes having problems.
According to CR, neither Suzuki nor Triumph owners provided enough information for a reliable rating. Based on the responses received, though, Suzuki would have finished with the other Japanese brands and Triumph, being English, would have been one of the less reliable makes.

Audi leading rival BMW in worldwide luxury sales race

Tue, 11 Mar 2014

If you thought competition among the German luxury automakers was hot before, it looks like things are just getting started. For the first two months of the year, Audi has sold more cars than BMW worldwide by just 383 cars.
Audi claims to have sold 242,400 vehicles through February, up 9.3 percent from last year, compared to 242,017 units from BMW, up 8.9 percent, in the same period. While the advantage is tiny, its implications could be huge because Bimmer has been the leader in the premium car segment for the last nine consecutive years. Mercedes-Benz lags behind them somewhat at 229,630 vehicles through February. According to Bloomberg, at this time last year Audi had sold 429 fewer cars than BMW.
The growth is all part of Volkswagen Group's goal to become the world's largest automaker. It currently ranks in second when its heavy truck businesses are considered. The German automotive giant also wants to be the world's leading premium carmaker. "Competition in the premium segment is more intense than ever," said Audi CEO Rupert Stadler to Bloomberg.

BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coup'e bows at Villa d'Este

Fri, 24 May 2013

The first collaboration between BMW and Pininfarina is this blunt-force two-door called the BMW Pininfarini Gran Lusso Coupe revealed at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este. Said to be the "interpretation of a luxurious BMW Coupé as seen through the eyes of Pininfarina," once you get past all of the design-speak, you can focus on the full-bodied and keen-edged missile sitting on 21-inch wheels.
The long wheelbase makes for short overhangs. Up front, BMW's design language gets scraped across a whetstone, everything getting sharper, including the usually round cat's eye headlights that have gone dihedral. Under the hood is a V12, behind the twin-kidney grille in matte-sheen aluminium and high-gloss black. The same aluminum treatment also backs the taillights, the lenses designed to let air flow through them.
Inside is room for four, a cockpit canted toward the driver, Foglizzo leather in black and Tobacco Brown, 48,000-year-old kauri wood from New Zealand, deep pile carpet on the floors, a patterned virgin wool headliner and an "oblong aperture in the roof liner" set off by white LEDs.
