The story:  Up for sale is a 1976 BMW 2002. The car was restored both inside and out approximately in 1998.   The previous owner  who purchased the vehicle in the early 80's in Atlanta had passed away and the car sat for nearly 10 years before I got it.   I have had it two years and lots of work has been done just to get to it to get it running to and to make some determinations of the cars engine and drivetrain.   The body of this E10 is extremely solid and straight which is one of the reasons I decided to get it as these are getting harder and harder to find.  I have some other priorities and a pending move overseas, so I need to find "Brownie" a new home.   Below is a synposis of the car so you know exactly what you are getting and to manage your expectations.  This car has the potential to be very valuable in the future but it will be some money invested first.  

The Good:

  • The body is straight and solid, ready for a partial or full restoration.  Everything is there but do study the pictures carefully.
  • The car has been in the south all its 37 years
  • The classic ALPINE radio and Infiniti speakers still sound amazing.
  • The car runs, not perfectly but mechanically ok.  The car sat for a long time.  The brakes, the lights, transmission, function, ect. 
  • It has the potential to be a beautiful restoration but remember its 37 years old
  • I have receipts totalling nearly $3500 from German Import Service of Thomasville, GA who got the car up and running.  Its included a complete, brand new fuel system, tank, Weber carb, ect.
  • The first steps have been taken to get this 2002 back where its needs to be but I need to leave that for the next person.

The Bad:

  • There is some minor rust issues so please look at the pictures carefully.  The shock towers are solid.  There is a rust hole in the spare tire well about 4 inches wide that will need to be welded in the future. 
  • The instrument cluster dash indicators are off, the speedo and tach are off.  The fuel indication is in accuate but there is a temp guage working properly. 
  • The blower motor for the AC/heater doesn't work but didn't have it evaluated yet so not sure what the problem is, all HVAC components are in the car.
  • The car does smoke intermittenly during driving.  It is white/grey smoke.  The mechanics seem to think its the valve guide seals. 

The car has had the 5 spd transmission conversion. 

The Conclusion: 

If you are looking for a great starter 2002 project at a low cost, this is your car. Please bear in mind the age of car.   

I am trying to be transparent as possible with the sale of this car but if I missed anything, please let me know.  I can provide you a copy of the receipts for the work done thus car. 

The car is located in southern Georgia. Please email me with your questions and I will attempt to answer to the best of my knowledge. NO WARRANTY and BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION COSTS.

BMW Vision Gran Turismo takes M235i Racing to the virtual extreme [w/videos]

Wed, 14 May 2014

Late last year, Mercedes-AMG worked up a concept car called the Vision Gran Turismo. It presented it at the Los Angeles Auto Show, but that wasn't the point: the point was that it would feature in Gran Turismo 6 on the PlayStation 3. It wasn't the first concept created specifically for the popular driving simulator - following similar projects by Citroën and Red Bull Racing - and as we reported just a month later, it wouldn't be the last. What we have here is the next.
Looking like an even more extreme version of the M235i Racing, the BMW Vision Gran Turismo concept builds on "the tradition of the successful BMW touring cars of the 1970s" in a heart-pumping, if unfortunately strictly virtual form. It's got more extreme aero than the aforementioned M235i Racing and a striking take on the M division's signature light blue, dark blue and red stripe over white livery.
Underneath the digital bonnet sits the same 3.0-liter inline six as the M235i, but pumping out a prodigious (if theoretical) 549 horsepower - far more than the 333 hp in the actual Racing version or the 320 hp in the roadgoing model. Of course BMW has given it an ideal 50:50 front-rear weight distribution and a curb weight of 2,600 lbs - nearly a thousand pounds less than the roadgoing M235i.

2015 BMW X4

Tue, 27 May 2014

BMW has been in the line-blurring business of late, with the original X5 "Sports Activity Vehicle" muddling the line between SUVs and sport sedans in 1999, the 5 Series Gran Turismo challenging what our definition of "Gran Turismo" means in 2009, and pretty, low-roofed four-doors like the 6 Series Gran Coupe and the fresh new 4 Series Gran Coupe broadening the meaning of the word "coupe."
In the midst of all of this, BMW blurred the lines around both the SUV and coupe genres with its big, heavy, and in many ways ridiculous X5-based "Sports Activity Coupe" (cue collective eye-roll), dubbed X6. Auto wags scoffed at its lack of utility, compromised outward visibility and added cost, but a more emotional public was apparently smitten enough by its aggressive looks to avail itself of some 250,000 of them worldwide in six model years on sale.
Enter the all-new 2015 X4 crossover - err, "Sports Activity Coupe" - which BMW hopes will perform as well in the compact category as the X6 has on the next rung up the ladder. Like the X6, the X4 is a tough sell on paper: it's more expensive and less practical than the X3 on which it's based; it's heavier, despite the loss of interior space; and it doesn't even hold as much stuff in the back as the 3 Series wagon. As with the X6, the X4 is essentially a high-riding style statement that, like proper coupes (the two-door kind), says to the world, "You fools can take your need for practicality and shove it. I just want to look good."

BMW bringing special Horse Edition 7 Series to Beijing

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

The Beijing Motor Show is just a couple of weeks away, and BMW wouldn't miss out on the opportunity to show off its latest wares to one of its most vital markets. So when the doors open in Beijing, BMW will showcase the new 2 Series Active Tourer, 2 Series Coupe, M3 and M4, 4 Series Gran Coupe and X4. It will also introduce the i3 and i8 to China for the first time. But those are all models we've seen already. What's new is... wait for it... the 7 Series Horse Edition.
Not celebrating horses so much as the Year of the Horse, this special edition 7 Series is based on the long-wheelbase model and comes with all manner of M equipment packages, a special paint job from BMW Individual and unique touches inside and out. BMW isn't saying which engine it features, but it sells the series in China in 730Li, 740Li, 750Li, 760Li and ActiveHybrid forms, with rear- or all-wheel drive. Given that the one pictured is wearing an xDrive badge, it would have to be either the 740Li or 750Li, but buyers will presumably be able to order it in whichever spec they desire.
While it may not be as exciting as the 9 Series concept BMW is rumored to have lined up for the Beijing show as well, you can bet that the Bavarian automaker will find plenty of buyers for this extra-special, extra-Chinese, extra-equestrian luxury sedan, and command a healthy premium from each and every one of them.
