1970 BMW 2002 M2

Coupling the handling and low weight of the 2002 with the high revving S14 power plant from the legendary E30 M3, the "M2" is the enthusiast's dream car!  I have been driving and sorting this car out for the last few months and feel it is a particularly nice example.  It is an absolute blast to drive!  The car is a 1970 base model 2002 that has been heavily modified to compliment the upgraded power plant.  The engine comes from a 1990 E30 M3 with 88k miles on it at the time of the install.  It has been driven ~600 miles since completion.  It handles like a go kart and is ready for your favorite canyon, track day, autox, or just driving to the coffee shop in style!

tii Clock currently does not work

The odometer does not work, it stopped working at 49828 km. I have the new gears to fix it and will include them.

There are some very minor cracks in the dash, which could easily be filled

Hazard switch is worn and only works intermittently (turn signals work just fine)

Aftermarket steering wheel horn button is not wired up (I have and will include the aftermarket plunger to make it work)

There is some very minor oil seepage from a couple seals on the engine. It wasn't bad enough to cause me to want to fix it, but I wanted to point it out.

Stereo install is not complete and the head unit still needs to be wired up

It has limited sound deadening and the exhaust is loud.  It would be easy to add more if you want more daily driver and less hot rod.

Tires are really made for autox or track days and should probably be replaced to minimize wear during daily street driving

Every time you drive people will wave to you and want to talk about your car.


I have done my best to document all of its features and anything I feel still needs to be addressed, but feel free to contact me with questions.  To the best of my knowledge and ability to inspect the car (I have spent quite a bit of time underneath it!) it is 100% rust free.  I have all of the documentation for this car including that of the previous owner for a full history.

Updated BMW X6 spied running the 'Ring in Germany

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Following the debut of the X5 earlier this year, it shouldn't come as a shock that BMW is testing an updated X6 in its homeland. The Munich-based manufacturer trekked to the Nürburgring to test the lifted, four-door coupe it calls a Sports Activity Vehicle, while also giving us our first peak as to what the future holds for one of the weirder models in the brand's stable.
Mainly, we can safely expect the next X6 to get the same range of refinements made to its platform-mate, the X5, which debuted earlier this year. If we're lucky, that could mean an X6 sDrive35i, complete with rear-wheel drive with which to fling the big SAV about. Adding a rear-drive option could also broaden its admittedly limited appeal by lowering the cost of entry, which could serve the pricier X6 well. As a point of reference, the X5 sDrive35i is priced at $2,300 below an xDrive all-wheel-drive-equipped model.
The X6's top-flight xDrive50i model should get the same 45-horsepower bump as the X5 xDrive50i, thanks to refinements to its twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, while the 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-pot should remain unchanged. We wouldn't hold our breath for an X6 diesel to arrive, although weirder stuff has happened. Like the X5, though, this should be a pretty slim refit that improves an already competent package to go along with an expected increase in price.

BMW jazzes up the Z4 with Pure Fusion Design package

Sun, 15 Dec 2013

While the new M3 sedan and M4 coupe may be the big news, they're not the only things that BMW has in the cooker. The Bavarian automaker has just announced a new special edition that serves to highlight the Z4 roadster.
Called the Pure Fusion Design package, the specially-equipped Z4 incorporates Nappa leather trim in ivory with brown stitching covering the seats, armrests and door panels. The lower dashboard is done up to match in white, with brown-accented black leather upper dash, window sills, sun visors and instrument surround. A brown leather line accents the interior, with Fineline wood trim.
BMW is offering the Z4 Pure Fusion Design in the unique shade of sparkling brown metallic pictured here, along with other available colors, and customers can combine the package with the M Sport pack as well. Scroll down for the full press release.

2015 BMW 2 Series Cabriolet flips its lid [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Early next year, BMW will offer droptop versions of its entry-level 2 Series. Available in both 228i and M235i guise, the 2 Series Cabriolet will no doubt take everything we already like (and don't like) about the Twoer and add that wind-in-your-hair experience. Of course, taking in all the extra sun comes at a price - $37,900 for the 228i and $47,700 for the M235i, not including $950 for destination. Those prices represent increases of $5,800 and $4,600, respectively.
Powertrain specs are identical to the coupes, with the 228i powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four good for 240 horsepower and 255 pound-feet of torque. The more potent M235i gets BMW's turbocharged, 3.0-liter inline-six, with 320 hp and 330 lb-ft of push, and can hit 60 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds. That's with the eight-speed automatic transmission, which is available with either engine. And for those who prefer to row their own, BMW will thankfully offer a six-speed manual gearbox with both powerplants, as well.
Following the Paris Motor Show unveiling, the pair will be shown in the US at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November before hitting dealers a few months later. Have a look at the new droptop in our fresh batch of images live from the Porte de Versailles exhibition center, and read BMW's lengthy press blast, below, for all of the official information.
