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)

2015 BMW i8 [w/video]
Mon, 28 Apr 2014The most important thing to keep in mind while driving BMW's all-new i8 is that it's not a product of the company's vaunted M division.
Sleek sports-coupe design, carbon-fiber construction and blistering acceleration may cause automotive enthusiasts to drool, but the i8 has not been conceptualized, engineered or assembled to be another one of BMW's world-class track stars. Instead, the i8 has been hatched as a progressive sports car from the Bavarian outfit's new i division, which "represents visionary electric vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability." Think of it as thrilling, but with an engaging environmental twist.
It's nearly impossible to walk up to the i8 with stopping twenty feet short and taking in its styling. There's no other production car as visually fascinating - this BMW is showroom-ready sculpture that captures all of the essence of the Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept that wowed crowds at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The wind sees it as a 0.26 drag coefficient, but humans will study its beautifully crafted carbon fiber and glass panels and realize they're in the presence of the future.
Next-gen BMW X3 caught in the cold
Sun, Mar 15 2015The BMW X3 might be getting a bit long in the tooth, but fans of the sporty CUV can rest easy knowing that Munich hasn't forgotten about it. The third-generation crossover was caught squeezing in some end-of-season winter testing by our trusty spy photographers. According to our spies, the 2017 X3, code-named G01, will be underpinned by a new modular platform that promises more space in the cabin and better visibility out. Beyond that, the next X3 will get a range of B-series engines; expect four- and six-cylinder options, as well as a plug-in-hybrid option (eventually). Our spies also report that BMW will finally offer some more performance-oriented options, starting with an X3 M40i and eventually expanding into a X3 M. Beyond the oily bits, it looks like the X3's looks are set to evolve, growing slightly compared to its predecessor. BMW's trippy camouflage, though, prevents a closer analysis of the next-gen CUV's styling. Check out our full gallery of spy shots to see what's coming for the X3.
Watch the trailer for Locke, a movie that takes place entirely in BMW's X5
Fri, 21 Feb 2014It's no surprise that driving can be incredibly stressful. You're basically trapped in a metal box, and until fairly recently, your ability to communicate with the outside world beyond the toot of a horn or a rolled-down window was all but nonexistent. Locke, a new film starring actor Tom Hardy (best known for his role as Bane in the Batman movie Dark Knight Rises), capitalizes on that feeling of isolation and stress by setting the entire movie in a BMW X5.
Locke is written and directed by Steven Knight, author of Eastern Promises, and the trailer shows Hardy's character being put under increasingly intense emotional stress as he drives along in his Bimmer. We don't know much more than that, as the 90-second trailer really doesn't give away much.
The film premiered at last year's Venice Film Festival, and reviews are available that tell more about the story, but we don't believe in spoilers. It's poised to hit theaters in the UK on April 18 and the US on April 25. The trailer reminds us of a far more artistic take on Steven Spielberg's 1971 movie, Duel and has our interest piqued. Scroll down to watch the trailer, but consider yourself warned, there's a brief moment of profanity.
