I purchased this vehicle about 11 years ago from the California Bay Area. I have had most of the mechanical work done on the vehicle over that time period. That includes new tires, front end suspension parts, brakes, new battery, tune up, exhaust front to back. I have replaced most of the interior including very nice front seats from a "3" Series BMW. I also had the door panels replaced as someone had installed the "infamous" round speaker holes in the old ones. All window parts were replaced to make all windows operable. I have 4 Pioneer speakers (2 for back trunk area and 2 for under dash). I have not installed yet but a cd player/radio is also included. I have done this stereo installation in my other "2" myself and it worked out well. This one will need a little bit of console work. The dark blue carpet in in decent/good shape. It needs a new headliner (usually available on EBAY for $150 or so). I have chosen to wait on headliner as roof needs some minor dent repair and likely needs accessed from the headliner area. A couple of nice features include a wooden Nardi steering wheel (Oak I believe) and a very nice set of Borbet wheels. Other new replacement parts include, alternator, voltage regulator, fuel pump and fuel hoses. 4 Speed transmission and clutch seem in fine shape and shifts smoothly. Mechanically, I have it pretty well dialed in. Our Family has been BMW owners since 1988 and I believe we have something like 9 in the immediate family currently. I have just picked up 3 more this year (2003 X5 for the horrible winter we just had, A Dinan 2001 540I with 6 speed manual and M upgrade, and a daily driver 2003 530I), so I am starting to run out of both garage space and time to have the various restoration projects managed. Time for someone else to have some fun, no sense for this one to sit in the garage, by the way, if you are unfamiliar these 2002's handle in an amazing fashion, just a blast to drive. On the rare occasions that we have let go of "one" over the past 20 years, the buyers have been extremely pleased as we do not skimp on maintenance. Most of the work on this on was done by Rick Vaughn (Vaughn Motorwerks in Zionsville, IN) and by Thomas Gill at AutoBahn ServiceCenter in Greenwood, IN, a couple of top shelf 2002 mechanics.
This vehicle needs as it's last stage, some light exterior body work and a complete paint job. While the body is in very good overall shape, there is are dents in the top above the driver window as mentioned above, and someone has used a spray can to "touch up" some areas. They also used a black gloss spray can to paint most of the rubber molding on the bumpers and bumper trim. They put a really nice looking set of mirrors and fog lights on it just after they finished spray painting as well. Mechanically, the car runs great and when driven, there are always people wanting to take a look at the vehicle at stoplights, etc. The vehicle gets great gas mileage. I don't believe the heater blower motor works but I have never driven it in the winter so mostly a non-issue. This car has the original equipment Solex carb. which is very functional and pretty easy to start, not overly cold natured. My other 2002 has the Weber conversion with choke and it is very sensitive to start and get proper carb adjustment and to restart after you have come out of the grocery store, this one always starts right up when warm to any level!. Although the exhaust is new, it seems to have a bit of an exhaust leak that you can hear when warming up, likely needs a gasket or two. Both door handle locks will need to have cores put in, they are empty of lock cores at the moment. And I believe I broke the license plate light on the right side recently. My next step for this vehicle would have included a header, removal of California Emissions items, an Ansa Exhaust to give it a little sound and of course, the body work and repair or replacement of bumper trim, windshield trim, etc. These cars are becoming very rare to find in any type of decent condition, especially the Midwest. For under 10k when done, you can have a really fun little car that will very likely hold or increase in value. I would welcome interested parties to come take a look at and drive the car. I am glad to answer any questions that you may have. I have owned at least one Model 2002 since the end of calendar year 2002 and likely always will. Thanks for considering. |

This insane Barris-like custom car is a backyard BMW Z3 build
Fri, Jan 9 2015This is the second car made by Englishman Paul Bacon and it's called the Cosmotron, fashioned over 18 months in his backyard shed. Underneath that Jetsons bubble canopy and swinging-sixties body are the bones of a 1998 BMW Z3 with a 2.8-liter inline-six. Bacon stripped the roadster down, then built it back up using fiberglass laid over polystyrene foam, and leather hand-stitched by his wife. Bacon said he remembers how we were told that 21st-century cars would look like the Cosmotron, and since they don't, he had to fix the error. The list of 20th-century add-ons, however, is impressive, like the six SU carburetors topped off with department-store salt and pepper shakers, and the rear grille decorated with shiny plastic tops from moisturizer bottles. After driving the Cosmotron for two years, Bacon sold it to get ready for his third project. You can hear Bacon and the new buyer tell their stories in the video above.
BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition is so cool it's Frozen
Fri, 15 Aug 2014The new, one-of-a-kind BMW i8 Concours d'Elegance Edition made a ritzy debut last night at BMW's private villa, giving the media its first chance to look at the ultra-exclusive hybrid.
As we said in our previous post, the most notable feature of the Concours d'Elegance i8 is its matte grey paint, known as Frozen Grey Metallic in BMW parlance. This isn't the first time we've seen this shade on an exclusive BMW, as it was last used for the Frozen Grey M3 from 2010.
Contrasting quite nicely with the i8's flat paint are its blue and white accents, and its Dalbergia Brown leather upholstery. Blue contrast stitching complements the interior aesthetic, as do the embossed BMW roundels in the headrests.
Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers
Mon, Jun 23 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.
