Vehicle Detail
1974 BMW 2002 118,000 miles NO RESERVE This car was recently restored by the owner who was obviously passionate about BMWs. I have been commissioned to evaluate and sell this car by his widow. I was trained by BMW of North America, am a BMW certified master mechanic who has worked professionally on BMWs for over 25 years. My first of many BMWs was a 1974 2002. After thoroughly looking at the receipts and the car itself, I have found the following positive points: The frame up paint job is beautiful. The repairs to the floorboards and rear shock well were done professionally; no rust left behind; everything welded. The only visible rust is the typical rust along the bottom edge of the passenger door only (replacement door included; see #4 below). This car comes with extra parts: 2 front doors that seem to be rust-free, window regulators, front vent windows and frames, driver side mirror, one door window, oil filter, and service manuals. Except for the driver seat seams that are worn, upholstery is in great shape (see photos). Listed below are all the new or fairly new parts and modifications that were installed: Weber DGAV 32/36 carburetor Short shift kitRemovable moon roofRear shocks ANSA muffler and straight pipe to replace resonatorLowered suspensionH & R rear springs - progressive rate 29-201RNew front springs Bosche high output coilPertronix electronic ignitionBottle cap 14" wheels from later model 3-seriesPirelli HP 185/60 tiresZender front air damInterstate battery and cablesHeadlinerDoor gasketsMost window gasketsVacuum gauge - mounted to firewallEverything on interior that is needed for air conditioning (no compressor, condenser or hoses)Emergency brake cablesCarpetMost metal brake lines and some rubber linesFront brakesRear brakesDashboard This car handles really well, tracks well, feels very tight, starts and runs great. (no smoke) Even though it shifts perfectly, the transmission output and layshaft bearings are noisy. I believe the owner planned on replacing this 4-speed with a 5-speed transmission. The interior light switches are missing. There may be other improvements that I have not spotted. If I didn't have so many BMWs myself, this car would not be listed on Ebay :) It would be in my garage! Payment and delivery: Non-refundable deposit of $500 required to be paid within 48 hours of end of auction through Paypal. Deposit will be credited toward price of car. Payment (by certified check or cash only) must be made and car picked up within 10 days after auction closes. NO RESERVE GOOD LUCK!
