Wow Low mile all Original roundie 2002 - No modifications - just like it was in 1972 in Granada Red and black interior
This car was in the same family until the fall of 2012. It was sold by the son of the original owner to settle an estate. The original owners son was going to college in California and working part time at a Cadillac /BMW dealer. His parents had just bought a retirement home in Carmel California and his mother wanted to support him. Her request was red outside and black interior. When it arrived to the dealer the chrome grill guards / bumper overiders were installed. This BMW became her favorite car and was never to be sold even though they normally got a new car every 3 years. When acquired, the car it still had the vanity license plates that were put on the car in 1972 with her name. The car was always stored in the garage unless it was driven. I have receipts and documents going back many years to prove the low miles.
I have had several 2002 BMW's and this is the cleanest and most original one I have seen. I drove it a short while and soon realized although it was very low miles it was still 40 years old and needed some mechanical maintenance. So into the shop it went and was serviced as needed to be reliable as an extra car for me to drive. I spent the money with out any idea of ever selling, but have fallen in love with another vintage car, so some one will be getting a gem. I have receipts for all the work with over 7k spent to put it back using quality German parts to put it into like new driving condition.
The car was repainted about ten years ago and looks good. The stainless is very good, with only one piece on the trunk that is damaged. There is a new N.O.S. BMW piece that goes with the car. The windshield seal is cracked and a new BMW seal is included. The chrome is very nice, with only a light dent and pitting to the rear bumper center section. The interior is next to mint. The driver seat lower cushion had a spit seam and was recovered to match. There is a very small crack on the dash ( hard to see) on the corner were the speedo surround comes to the flat part of the dash. The carpets are original and in great shape with some wear in the drivers area. The headliner is mint. The original windows are in great shape. Steering wheel is perfect. Most that see the interior think is has been restored.
The running gear is were the big investment was made. The transmission had a noise in 3 gear, the struts were original and soft and the heater cables were stuck. It still had a set of 1980's Michelin's tires on the car. Here is a list of some of the items that were rebuilt.
- Transmission rebuilt- all new bearings & seals ( 4 speed manual)
- Clutch and throw out bearing replaced
- Clutch master and slave cylinders replaced
- Brake master replaced
- Rear brakes, machined drums, replaced wheel cylinders
- Front brakes, flex hoses, calipers, rotors
- Exhaust hangers replaced ( pipes and muffler solid)
- Complete heater box removed and rebuilt ( all conrols are very smooth)
- New heater core
- Front suspension rebuilt, all new bushings, ball joints, control arms
- All 5 wheels were sent out for powder coating in the original silver metallic color
- New set of 5 all season radial tires, new valve stems
- Alignment
- Belts, Battery, Oil change, and tune up
- All gear oils changed to Red Line synthetic
- Front struts in KYB gas
- Rear shocks in KYB gas
- Radiator serviced and flushed
This car is a blast to drive. All the lights works, gauges, heater, defroster and has a am/fm stereo. The windows roll up & down very smooth. It turns heads and everyone talks about the one they had just like it. It was a challenge to keep it stock as I have several ones that were modified. But they are only original once and so hard to find a unmolested one anymore. The rear panels were taken out above the fuel tank for an inspection and absolutely no rust was found. On the hoist the car is just as solid underneath. There is signs of rust in the rear corner of the right front fender were a patch of mud was found. And the drivers door has a few pimple, but no holes. Overall a very solid car you can drive anywhere anytime.
I have sold several classic cars on e-bay in the last few years from my collection and for friends. All the buyers have been happy.
Road test, phone calls are encouraged and very welcome. Steve Fisher 206-755-3420

I was asked about undercarriage pictures, Just added 4 of them. You can see how dry this car is underneath.
I had to put a rag over the front plate because of reflection in the camera.
Thanks for the questions. Steve

BMW Vision Future Luxury Concept is bold and beautiful in Beijing
Sun, 20 Apr 2014BMW officially unveiled the Vision Future Luxury Concept today (or is it tomorrow?) at the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, giving the world's media an in-the-flesh look at not only a future design theme for the brand, but a rumored flagship model.
This is a looker in person, thanks to its Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe-inspired design, and it's not too difficult to imagine it in production car form, with smaller wheels, larger mirrors and the other minor transformations that take place from drawing board, to auto show and, finally, to assembly line. In general, it seems like there are more than a few parts of this vehicle that are ready for production.
We didn't talk about it in our initial post, but it bears mentioning that this particular concept is wearing an eDrive badge on its backside, indicating that under the Vision Future Luxury's long hood is some form of plug-in-hybrid propulsion. It's anyone's guess as to what engine, battery and motor combinations BMW is playing with, although it does seem questionable whether BMW would launch a PHEV flagship to do battle with a top-rung variant of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class (which will likely use V12 power).
Next BMW X1 moving to smaller, lighter FWD-biased platform
Thu, 20 Feb 2014BMW's decision to make the upcoming 2-Series Active Tourer front-wheel drive has been polarizing to say the least, but like it or not, that is the direction the company will go in the near future - one rumor put the number as high as 23 front-wheel-drive models for Mini and BMW combined. The next-generation X1 won't send all its power to the front wheels, though, when it launches in early 2016. While it will use the same platform as the Active Tourer, rumors suggest all models will use all-wheel drive - at least at launch.
A "high-ranking," unnamed BMW manager confirmed to AutoWeek that the new model will switch to transversely-mounted three- and four-cylinder engines and the same six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions as the Active Tourer. The new, smaller platform will allow for more efficient packaging, and despite the smaller size, interior space will remain comparable. All the changes should make it significantly lighter too.
Don't start wailing just yet because BMW surely won't be entirely abandoning sporty models. AutoWeek claims that the Bavarians are working on a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with power closer to 300 horsepower, about a 72-hp boost. It's also rumored to offer a sporty version of the X1 that may be called the X2.
BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe blows the doors back on [w/video]
Tue, 04 Mar 2014BMW sure seems to take pleasure in confusing the hell out of us. It used to be pretty simple: if you wanted a compact Bimmer, you had to look no further than the 3 Series. Then it was just a matter of which bodystyle you wanted. But the smaller end of BMW's lineup has gotten more complicated lately. Never mind the 1 Series and 2 Series (in their various iterations) that have slotted in below it - now the 3 Series has been split in two: Want a four-door, get the new 3 Series. Want a two-door, the 4 Series is your address. Right?
Almost. Because now there's a 4 Series Gran Coupe that keeps the two-door's roofline (or some approximation of it) but adds an extra set of doors in the back, thereby bridging the gap between the 3 Series sedan and 4 Series coupe. And it's just made its public debut here at the Geneva Motor Show.
The difference between this and the two-door 4 Series is plain to see: it's got two extra doors. But what's the difference between this and the 3 Series sedan? About two or three grand, to start with - depending on which version (428i Gran Coupe or 435i Gran Coupe) you choose. But it's also sleeker, more muscular and altogether that extra bit sexier. Which is a good trait, as you can see from our gallery of live shots above, to have in your European sports sedan, coupe, or whatever you want to call it.
