You are bidding on a 1973 BMW 2002tii. I can almost guarantee one thing--drive this car to your favorite car event or even the gas station and you'll have more people coming out of the woodwork and commenting, asking questions and complimenting than if you drove up in a brand new M4!!! This car really grabs people's attention. A bit of history. I bought this car as a totally complete non-running tii at a charity auction about 15 years ago. I kept it covered beside my garage for several years and then sold it to a friend of mine. My friend did all the great work on the car to bring it to the condition it is in today. He is a truly talented mechanic, fabricator and body man. I bought it back from him a few years ago when he needed some cash for another project. Since then, I have had to do absolutely nothing to the car but drive it. Honestly, I have never had to do ANYTHING to this car--no adjustments, tune ups, NOTHING. I have never tracked the car. The car shows 75,513 miles but that may not be accurate. As 2002s go, it is rust free. The engine has been thoroughly and professionally built. The head has been ported and polished. It features dual Dell'Orto side draft carburetors with a Korman intake and Mann cam. It has remote electronic ignition, remote oil filter, remote electric fuel pump, adjustable fuel pressure and gauge, along with headers and a custom Supertrap exhaust. The battery has been relocated to the trunk. The transmission is the original 4 speed but also included in this auction is a 5 speed from a 1982 320i along with the instruction manual to do a 5 speed conversion. It has a limited slip differential. The engine starts and runs easily, has tremendous oil pressure, runs GREAT and stays cool. It is very streetable and very reliable. I am also including all the original Kuegelfisher fuel injection parts that I have from the original tii. The body is painted in red has molded in fender flares front and rear along with a front air dam and Zender rear spoiler. The wheels are Panasport copies with 205/50R15 tires. A wheel stud kit is installed on all hubs. Also included is another set of aftermarket wheels with road race tires. The interior features a full roll cage and Recaro seats. It has a full complement of gauges including volts, oil pressure and temperature. To the best of my knowledge everything is working on the car except the heat--just needs a control cable and the clock (they never work). The clutch slave cylinder seeps a bit of fluid but works perfectly. You will see a very minor drip of oil (quarter size) or so after it has been parked awhile. The car needs to have a good going through of the suspension. If I kept the car, I would replace all the bushings and any worn ball joints, tie rods, shocks etc. and then give the car a proper alignment. It does have custom springs but it does need a good going through of the suspension. With wheel width spacers in, the right rear tire will rub the inner wheel well. This is because the rear bushings are shot. With spacers out, it is fine. I have had many 2002s, so along with this auction, you are welcome to take what you want of my extensive collection of 2002 parts. There are bumpers, transmissions, engine parts, seats, body parts, gas tanks and so on. All free with the car. If you want it all, bring a big truck and trailer!! I want the buyer to be happy with your purchase so I have tried to give a true picture and description of the car. It is a great car and looks VERY cool. It is not a show car but a very good driver that could be used every day or put on the track with just a little suspension tune up. Feel free to email me with questions or send me your email and I can send more pictures. I hate to let it go but I just don't have the time any more to do the suspension. I'm sure I will think back one day and regret selling it. A $500 deposit is required via PayPal at auction close. The balance is to be paid in cash and you will get a free and clear clean title when you pick it up. Happy bidding and good luck!

BMW 1 Series GT spied in 7-seat trim
Mon, 20 May 2013As BMW prepares to introduce its first-ever front-wheel drive car, the upcoming 1 Series GT, it looks like there will be at least two versions of the car. A conventional-looking hatchback was spotted testing late last year, but now we see an extended-length version in order to accommodate a third row of seats.
Judging by these spy shots, this 1 Series GT prototype has received an extended wheelbase, larger rear doors and more upright D-pillars compared to our previous spy shots (show in the gallery below) all with the aim of creating additional passenger and cargo space. Like the smaller 1 Series GT, this longer model would likely carry over the same powertrain options, which are expected to consist of three- and four-cylinder engines, a hybrid system and the choice of front- or all-wheel drive. The 1 Series GT could make its debut this fall at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but we might have to wait until next year to see the people mover.
BMW V8-powered Ford Model A is the definition of Hot Rod
Thu, 20 Jun 2013Today, hotrodding has a pretty staid definition. Take one classic American car, add one classic American V8, sprinkle with tire smoke and you pretty much have every hot rod to roll out of a shop in the last 40 years. Mike Borroughs knows it wasn't always this way. Once upon a time, getting your bucket to go faster meant grabbing whatever parts were lazing about the yard, bolting them together with a bit of ingenuity and laughing your way down the quarter mile. It's in that spirit that Burroughs built his 1928 Ford Model A.
Rather than turn to the tired flathead or the common Chevrolet small block, Burroughs plucked a 4.0-liter V8 from a 1995 BMW 7 Series. With 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, the engine has no trouble shuffling the old A around town. He had to build a custom chassis to get everything to cooperate, but the result is a 1,500-pound heathen that looks built to harass dry lake beds. You can check it out in the video below. Be warned, the soundtrack by Hanni el Khatib may not be safe for work - awesomeness of this caliber rarely is.
2015 BMW X4 gets its small-screen debut
Thu, 26 Jun 2014It's easy to dismiss the 2015 BMW X4. On one hand, the high-style crossover seems more like a boardroom decision than a practical one. In a world with the 3 Series, 4 Series, X3, 3 Series GT and 4 Series Gran Coupe, is BMW really being inundated with requests for a baby X6? Of course, when we finally got behind the wheel of the CUV for our First Drive, it proved rather entertaining, and certainly the X6's global sales success suggests that it's worth the relatively low-cost risk for the Bavarian automaker.
Now, it's the general public's chance to weigh in on the latest crossover Bimmer and vote with their dollars. The X4 is just hitting showrooms in the US, and BMW is beginning its marketing campaign for it with the slogan "Embrace the Unknown." The first TV ad shows off the CUV driving through the world's major cities as they undulate like the rolling ocean. A woman flatly says phrases starting with "Go," while a synth-heavy score plays underneath that wouldn't be out of place over the end credits in an '80s sci-fi movie.
Visually, it's actually kind of a cool ad and evokes some of the special effects from Inception. Focusing on an urban atmosphere is probably a good idea, too, because the percentage of X4s going offroad is likely to be in the low single digits, if that. Now, let's see if BMW buyers are willing to embrace the unknown of the X4. Scroll down to watch it for yourself.
