Clean 1973 Bmw 2002 Roundie !!! on 2040-cars
Bridgeport, Connecticut, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1973 BMW 2002 (Non Tii) 4 speed sunroof car. I am the third owner of the car, which was purchased from Arizona. The car began its life in California before Arizona, so this car has lived less than two years of its 40+ year life in CT. This is a very reliable, well serviced, well cared for 2002. Its an older restoration that has held up well and served me as a daily driver to and from work (30 miles) for the past two years. The motor is strong with no smoke. The trans and all running gear is strong and healthy. seats are good, seat belts works, windows roll up and down well, lights & blinkers are good....Everything works as it should on this 2002. The car is wired to have a radio. I removed the shotty 80's radio & center console and replaced it with a clean radio-free center console. I left all the wires in case the next owner wanted to install his or her own radio again. Rust, work & parts needed, and other items: I would call the car rust free, however, there are two or three very small bubbles in the paint near the windshield pilar. The dash is great with no tears. The door lock on the driver's side door has no key entry. The button and locking mechanism work great...just need to buy the part and install it. Not a big deal....an evening in the garage with a beer and the right parts will do the trick. The headliner is in "okay" condition. Its just a little old an worn with some discoloration...not bad....had to mention it though. The ingition key entry is...."tempormental". Ever now and then, once every 10-15 starts, the ignition will lock up and prevent the key from turning / starting the car. After about 30-40 seconds of wiggling, it turns and the car starts right up. Its an odd problem that never was worth any further investigation on my side. Good news for perspective buyers is that this car was serviced by the guys at Sports Car Restoration (www.sports-car-restoration.com), who specilize in BMW restoration, maintenance, and race prep. Matt & Nate know the car well and can speak on its condition. I love this car very much and hate to sell it. Priorities have changed and it needs to go.....aka.....baby and family come first, so my little red verona must go. The reserve is set for what I paid for it two years ago. The buy it now is just below what I have it listed locally for, so it goes without saying that I have the right to end this auction early if it sells locally prior to the end of this auction. Title: Car has a clean title, but...of course, I can not find the actual paper. I just sent the paperwork to DMV for a replacement / duplicate title so that is in progress....shouldn't be a problem, but wont be here for another 2-3 weeks. Someone is going to get a great little roundie!!! |

BMW confirms M4 DTM for next season
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Fans of BMW performance had two events to keep an eye on this weekend: the reveal of the M4 Concept at Pebble Beach, and the efforts of the Bavarian automaker's DTM teams at the Nurburgring. What ties them together, however, is what BMW has in store for next year.
The German carmaker has confirmed that it's already working on a new M4 DTM to campaign in the highly-competitive touring car series starting next season. It didn't reveal any details, but we can expect the M4 to make the same jump to competition spec as the M3 did before it. And with some success, we might add: successive versions of the M3 have won 48 DTM races over the years, starting with the checkered flag which Harald Grohs claimed at Hockenheim in 1987 through to the same race which Augusto Farfus won earlier this year. After taking home the title for BMW in its first year back in DTM last season, Bruno Spengler also won at the Red Bull Ring in Austria two months ago, but the Bimmer teams seem to be having a bit of trouble defending its title against fresh assaults from Audi and Mercedes.
BMW undoubtedly hopes the new M4 DTM will help it turn another new leaf, and we're looking forward to seeing how it all shapes up. Read more in the press release below.
BMW i3 gets official worldwide
Mon, 29 Jul 2013Even though we recently drove a near-production version of the BMW i3, the car still wore light exterior and interior camouflage. Today, BMW took off that little bit of camo and made a big announcement: The i3 will go on sale in the US for $41,350 in the second quarter of 2014. That does not include any state or federal incentives that could lower the price or the $925 destination fee. The i3 will debut with three trim levels, which BMW is referring to as Worlds: Mega (standard in the US), Giga and Tera.
The BMW i3 is chock-full of new technology afforded by its design as an EV from the start of development, which has resulted in a vehicle layout unique to the i3. BMW has named it LifeDrive architecture, and it features the Life Module and the Drive Module. The Life Module is the i3's pillar-less passenger cell, which is the first mass-produced monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The tougher-than-steel material is also 30-percent lighter than aluminum, which contributes to the i3's relatively light weight of 2,700 pounds (preliminary US figure) and, in turn, increases its energy efficiency. Expect more of this technology to find its way into future BMWs.
The Drive Module, a 100-percent aluminum chassis mounted under the Life Module, houses everything that makes the i3 go. It includes the 22-kilowatt, 450-pound lithium ion battery mounted as centrally as possible, and provides power to a rear-mounted electric motor that turns the rear wheels. With 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque from zero rpm, the single-gear i3 can accelerate from 0-30 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and 0-60 mph in about 7.0 seconds, but it has a top speed of only 93 mph. BMW says the i3 has a real-world EV range of 80-100 miles, and the standard charger can fill the battery in three hours. Opt for the SAE DC Combo Fast Charger and 30 minutes is all it takes for a full charge; 20 minutes will bump the battery to 80 percent. For customers who have range anxiety, BMW gives them the option to install a 34-hp, 650cc two-cylinder generator as a range extender for the electric drive system.
2015 BMW X3 arrives with tweaked styling, diesel option
Wed, 05 Feb 2014The luxury crossover market has been a huge success for BMW, having sold over a million X3 models worldwide since the CUV first went on sale in 2003, not to mention all of the momentum its had with the larger X5. At the Chicago Auto Show, BMW is unveiling the refreshed 2015 X3, featuring an improved design, a new diesel engine option, and a rear-wheel drive variant.
The X3 is getting some handsome upgrades to the exterior. The twin, circular headlights now extend to touch the slightly widened, chrome kidney grille, to bring the styling in line with the 3 Series and 4 Series. (LED headlights are now optional, as well.) The front bumper gets reshaped brake cooling ducts, and the rear bumper gets a touch of additional metal trim at the bottom. BMW has also added standard LED turn signals in the side mirrors.
BMW has enhanced the interior with added chrome trim, high-gloss black trim around the center console, sliding covers for the cup holders and new interior upholstery designs. The X3 is also getting a major boost in optional technology - there's a new Parking Assistant, as well as an Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, and City Collision Mitigation.
