1973 Bmw 2002 Tii - Original California Sunroof Car on 2040-cars
Folsom, California, United States
If you’re reading this ad, I don’t need to explain to you what a 2002 tii is. What you’re looking at here is a 20 year old restoration of a 40 year old car. We are the 4th owner and the car has been in California its entire life. I want this car to go to someone who knows what they are getting, so if you have any questions after reading this posting, please let me know. Like all abandon restoration projects, this one has a story. My son and I bought this car about 3 years ago as a father/son project. The first year, we got the car running well, did a ton of work on all the safety related stuff, and just went after fixing all the little things that needed immediate attention. We also started sourcing parts for the build. About that time, my son got more interested in girls, so we never got around to doing the body and interior. He recently left the country and is serving his military duty overseas for the next two years, so we have jointly decided to sell the car. His only request was that we find a good home for it who will love it as much as we have. The body is very solid with only the surface rust and a minor paint bubbling in a few spots. This was originally a Polaris silver car. When restored, the car was painted an off -white color which is pretty hazy and faded, but because it was professionally prepped when the car was restored, it's held up pretty well. The texture you may notice under the rear bumper is actually undercoating that the previous owner had applied when they re-sprayed the car. This has protected the undercarriage nicely, and the critical points (rockers, fenders, and shock towers) are all solid and rust free. Note the interior panels were replaced behind rear seat, package shelf, and front kick panels by a restoration shop that is known for their work with older cars. This was done to cover holes left behind by the massive sound system installation that the previous owner had put in the car. The car starts easy and runs strong. The engine has good compression and makes great power, but does have a minor oil pan leak. In its current condition, the car could be used as a reliable daily driver as it sits. However, it’s in a condition that makes it worthy of investing in. It would not take much to get the minor problems corrected, and it would be a great candidate for a full original resto, or resto-mod. Overview of the car:
New or replaced since we've owned the car:
Things that I know need work:
Extras on hand that come with the car:
I've tried to cover everyting I can think of, but please let me know if any questions. I can assist with shipping and/or delivery anywhere within Northern California. I'm not listing it locally, so any external inquires will be referred to bid here until the auction is closed. Thanks for looking! |

Hyundai, BMW in plant talks with Mexican officials
Fri, 27 Sep 2013BMW and Hyundai may be joining the rush for the border that has already seen Nissan, Honda and Mazda begin factory construction in Mexico, while Ford and General Motors have both made significant investments in their Mexican facilities. BMW's interest in Mexico has been apparent for some time, and while we'd heard grumblings about Hyundai's move into Latin America some time ago, the last we heard about it was in 2009.
This new move, reported by Bloomberg, doesn't get specific on which models will be produced south of the Rio Grande, and as neither automakers' spokespeople responded to the business site's request for statements, all we really have to go on are the statements of Mexico's Economy Minister, Ildefonso Guajardo: "I cannot talk for them, but I think that starting 2014 we'll have new announcements. At least for one." Which manufacturer that will be remains anyone's guess, although judging by all the recent scuttlebutt that's been going around, the smart money seems to be on BMW. We'll stay with this one.
2015 BMW i8 [w/video]
Mon, 28 Apr 2014The most important thing to keep in mind while driving BMW's all-new i8 is that it's not a product of the company's vaunted M division.
Sleek sports-coupe design, carbon-fiber construction and blistering acceleration may cause automotive enthusiasts to drool, but the i8 has not been conceptualized, engineered or assembled to be another one of BMW's world-class track stars. Instead, the i8 has been hatched as a progressive sports car from the Bavarian outfit's new i division, which "represents visionary electric vehicles and mobility services, inspiring design and a new understanding of premium that is strongly defined by sustainability." Think of it as thrilling, but with an engaging environmental twist.
It's nearly impossible to walk up to the i8 with stopping twenty feet short and taking in its styling. There's no other production car as visually fascinating - this BMW is showroom-ready sculpture that captures all of the essence of the Vision Efficient Dynamics Concept that wowed crowds at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. The wind sees it as a 0.26 drag coefficient, but humans will study its beautifully crafted carbon fiber and glass panels and realize they're in the presence of the future.
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).
