The original owner drove the car for 20 years, putting 156K miles on it. He maintained it well and decided to turn the car into a racer. He installed new Bilstein racing shocks and new Eibach springs. He also installed the Zender rear spoiler, the aftermarket sunroof, removed the entire metal waist moulding and filled all the holes.  At a point nearing the end of his 20 year ownership, he had the shock towers repaired professionally (see pictures). He also painted the body Chamonix white from the original Sahara tan. He then sold the car to its 2nd owner, who did loads of work to the car and after roughly 14 years of owning the car, he (the 2nd owner) sold the 2002 to me.

During possession of the 2nd owner…

He installed the drivetrain from a restored 73 ‘02 totaled rollover, which he had previously acquired. The motor from that car was a 1975 (e21 head) which was completely rebuilt, bored and balanced, new cam and some bottom end work as well.  The transmission (rebuilt) was solid with no synchro issues. The clutch was also new. The driveshaft was rebuilt as well.

I have since replaced the thermostat and flushed the coolant system. Included in the sale comes an extra water pump. I have also recently replaced the starter. The Carburation which was installed is a Weber 32/36 DGV with manual choke and K&N air filter. Since then I have installed a new set of plugs, wires and a new coil pack. During being away at school the car had to sit for quite some time and when I went to run it again, I messed with the timing, in doing so my adjustable timing gun broke so I had to use an older one… Due to this I had to set the timing back to base timing and have not finalized it for final ignition. The car starts, runs and drives down the road, but due to the gummed up carb, old points and base timing, it only runs at about 30% of capable performance. To bring it back to proper driving excitement means only a small amount of light work. Included in the sale is a new set of points and a nice set of Bavarian Autosport Wires.

The 2nd owner installed a brand new ANSA exhaust system; with a 2002Tii exhaust manifold.

He also installed new brakes front and rear with cross drilled rotors and new brake hoses. In addition he installed factory rebuilt front brake calipers. Included in the sale, is a set of rear drum pads (one side only) and a set of front caliper pads (one side only). The only part of the drivetrain that is original is rear differential.  (It is still working fine, however an additional differential is included in the sale.) In addition I will give another spare steering box with the sale.

 The ’02 is mounted on a set of performance Sumitomo 195/60-13 with BBS style OE equipment 320is wheels 13x6. (Currently, June 2014, the tires are cracking pretty significantly and should be replaced.)

EXTERIOR:

The front grilles are later '02 model plastic grilles, which he installed. Headlights are Hella H-4 element style. The rear bumper is a '71 '02 short sided bumper. Rear trim and taillight rims painted black. He installed a new front windshield and replaced all the other glass. He also installed pressure sensitive adhesive backed black moulding to replace the waist moulding. All side marker lights and reflectors were removed and holes were filled to simulate the look of the older 2002. I have since painted the front grills, kidney grills, rear light surrounds and trim. The original owner removed the front bumper and I have since installed a front valance from Bavarian Autosport.

INTERIOR:

The 2nd owner Installed new black carpeting and all the original black interior panels which are in Very Good/Excellent condition. He also installed original equipment BMW Recaro seats from an ‘83 320is. They are in fantastic condition and mounted onto the 2002 seat tracks. The rear seat (both parts) are still in very good condition with the original horsehair padding. Headliner is solid with no rips along with the sun visors. The dash pad is a one piece unit from a 74 ‘02. It has a few small to medium sized cracks. The original ‘bus’ steering wheel is still in excellent condition with a leather cover.  The original analog radio is gone, but I’ve installed a newer cd player with axillary port. I have also installed two rear speakers for music enjoyment, nothing serious or obnoxious. 

BODY CONDITION:

The major 2002 issues have been addressed.  As stated above, Rear strut tower decay/rust/rot is NOT an issue on this example AT ALL. As seen in the photos, the rear strut towers are close to Factory NEW. The spare tire well has some very minor surface rust in spots but is absolutely solid (as seen in photos). The body is straight. The front directional areas are solid. Rocker panels are good. Wheel arches are good. Rear suspension mounts are good. Wheel wells are solid. Floors are solid, with some surface rust, but completely structurally sound. The biggest area of concern is the driver’s door; with some small rust holes coming through at the bottom and some sheet metal waves and imperfections (as seen in photos). A few years back I spent many hours applying Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator to the undercarriage of the car (general tlc and a fun way to get to know the car)

All ISSUES that could be of any concern:

-As stated above, the timing is currently set at base; and requires adjustment for completion.

-The carburetor is gummed up a bit and could use a rebuild or at least a cleaning.

-The points are a few years old and should be replaced soon. (new points kit come with sale)

-The oil dip stick sleeve which was originally pressed into the block, has come loose over the years and leaks oil at a Very Very slow rate. (of no real concern, but should be addressed)

-The front left frame rail has had metal welded to strengthen it. Done during its autocross days. Which fyi does not affect drivability at all. (see photos)

-Motor mounts and Tranny mounts are in need of replacement (A new set of mounts comes with the sale of the car)

-There is some minor rust which came through on the driver door bottom, and sheet metal imperfections/creases. (see photos)

-Both doors have very minor sagging and could use adjustment.

-Some of the rubber and cloth window seals are getting old. (see photos)

-Passenger window has trouble cranking up due to falling out of track occasionally.

-There are some dash cracks. (see photos)

-Driver’s interior door card has some snapped off fasteners, which are easily replaced (see photos)

-Paint is good with some flaws i.e. various chips, clear fade and other minor issues. (see photos)

-Bottom of Rear sub-frame has some rust, which does not affect drivability, but should be addressed (see photos)

-Speedo is non-functioning

-Shifter has movement due to worn linkage collar

-Non original sunroof

 

This is not a stock automobile. If you are looking for a 2002 for investment quality, this car is NOT for you. It was put back together from parts of various year 2002’s to be driven on the street. The 2nd owner had put only about 3000 miles since the reassembly 14 years ago; and I have put an additional 2500 miles on it. It corners incredibly well due to the stiff suspension. It rides surprising smooth too, not as harsh as you would think.

 This car would make a great auto crosser or vintage racer, as it is already prepped to do so. It is also a fine street driver. It has been garaged the majority of its life with adult care and attention to preservation. I personally have an Associate’s degree in Automotive Technology, and currently I’m going back to school for Transportation Design. The previous (2nd owner) has owned/worked on 2002’s since 1974 and had owned 22 of them!

 Between the Original owner, the 2nd owner and myself; the 2002 has been looked after and maintained properly with a focus on the legend of BMW’s sporting heritage and the enjoyment of drive.

. $500 non-refundable deposit is required at end of the auction from the serious bidder. Anyone who is serious about purchasing this car should send me an email through Ebay. I will then send you my phone number and we can discuss the car, any questions and your intent on purchasing this vehicle. I have the right to cancel any bids over the reserve price from Ebay members with less than 5 positive feedbacks unless we have been in contact.

 

Due to the '02 not having current inspection, Please bring a trailer or dolley

 Cheers

BMW Concept X5 eDrive plug-in hybrid headed to Frankfurt

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

With six confirmed public debuts scheduled for the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW is definitely going to have its hands full. While we've already driven models like the 4 Series and the i3, one of the more interesting introductions is a "concept" plug-in hybrid version of the new F15 BMW X5 called the BMW Concept X5 eDrive.
As the second concept to wear the eDrive name, this X5 combines a 95-horsepower electric motor with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine to balance performance and efficiency. On the green side of things, BMW says that the eDrive system allows the X5 to reach speeds of 75 miles per hour and a range of 19 miles (although we're guessing not at the same time) under electric power only, to go with fuel consumption of about 62 miles per gallon US (3.8 liters per 100 kilometers). For performance, this plug-in can still accelerate from 0-60 in under seven seconds, and drivers can select from three PHEV modes: one that operates the system automatically, an all-electric mode and a Save Battery mode to preserve the battery's current state of charge.
Aside from the obvious plug port on the left front fender, the X5 eDrive is differentiated from the 2014 X5 with slightly restyled front and rear fascias, subtle blue accents tying in with the BMW i line and lightweight, aero-tuned 21-inch alloy wheels. There is no definitive word on whether the Concept X5 eDrive will make it to production, but judging by BMW's recent commitment to plug-in vehicles, we wouldn't be surprised to see an X5 PHEV on the roads within the next couple of years. We'll see the Concept X5 in just a few weeks in Frankfurt, but until then, scroll down for the official press release.

Are you a BMW M4 GTS track car in disguise?

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

BMW is always happy to extract a little bit more gumption out of its M cars, just look at the latest 30th anniversary M5 or even the earlier CSL variants of the M3 for proof. Now, It looks like we might be getting the first glimpse of an even hotter M4, and it's wearing very interesting livery.
Our spies recently shot this M4 that could preview a future GTS version. It's all done up in MotoGP decals, but that might just be a ruse. This car sports a camouflaged lower air dam and rear wing, but those parts don't appear to be from an actual series safety car. The chin spoiler seems larger, and the rear wing is completely different. You can also spot an obvious Recaro logo on the driver's seat in one of the photos. Plus, the BMW emblem is removed at the back.
The disguised changes and odd choice of decals make this prototype incredibly weird. A BMW exec said at the beginning of the year that there were "no plans whatsoever to make a lighter, harder version just yet," of the M3 or M4, despite earlier rumors to the contrary. Check out the gallery to see what you think this is.

BMW unveils 2016 X5 M and X6 M super CUVs

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

The second-generation BMW X5 M and X6 M have officially made their arrival for the speed-obsessed, crossover-loving masses that aren't willing to turn to Mercedes-AMG or Land Rover Special Operations.
While the new models retain their 4.4-liter, twin-turbocharged V8s, power has increased from 555 horsepower to 567 ponies. Torque is up more significantly, climbing from 500 pound-feet to 553 pound-feet. The extra twist is slightly less accessible, with peak grunt arriving between 2,200 and 5,000 rpm, rather than the earlier model's 1,500 to 5,650. Still, we'll take the ten percent increase in torque as a net win.
The big powertrain switch sees the old X5/6 M's six-speed automatic replaced with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission from BMW M. This new gearbox feeds power to an xDrive all-wheel-drive system that can variably shuffle up to 100 percent of power to either axle. In conjunction with the force-induced thumper under the hood, this powertrain arrangement allows both M models to hit 60 miles per hour in just four seconds. That's a mightily impressive stat in a 5,000-plus-pound vehicle.
