Hello! I have for sale my honest, solid 1973 BMW 2002 in Agave Green, with Tan interior. This is a great looking and driving example of the desirable 1973 model, which was the last year for round tail lights and graceful chromed steel bumpers. The following year, the square tail lights and awkward, large 5MPH crash bumpers were introduced. This car is an absolute joy to drive. Being very light weight, it is extremely peppy it is a blast to be behind the wheel of. If you've owned a 2002 you already know why they make such great drivers. They were used as track cars and still are in SCCA racing. Great handling. The wonderful visibility from the “glass bubble” cockpit really adds to the fun, and you can see everything outside of the car really well. Having spent most of it's life garaged and well taken care of, its not a very rusty car. There are a few rust bubbles under the paint in spots, but these are stable. There is a couple small holes on the drivers side rear fender (please see photos). There is also some spots on the bottom of the front valance. It has been painted with rustproof along the rockers, bottom around the car to prevent rust. This is a very solid unrestored shell. A great candidate in which you can drive while you restore, or a great canvas for full restoration. The interior is in very nice shape, with the original German wool carpet looking great, besides a small hole in the carpet under the driver floor mat. There is a set of four cocoa mats installed. Front driver seat has a tear at a seam. While the passenger and rear seat are in tact. The dash is great, with one small crack, and no hardening. Headlinder is clean, with no tears. It has a later steering wheel from a 2002. I would opt for the original "Bus" steering wheel or even a Nardi. The wheels have very presentable hub caps with very nice tires. I'm not actually sure of the total actual mileage on the car. The odometer reads 55489 but it is not working. The speedo and tachometer are in working condition though, as well as all lights(brake, high beams, turn signals), windows, windshield wipers (as well as 2nd wiper speed), and even the radio! (needs new speakers). There is no AC, or heat, the fan does not operate. This is an extremely solid and complete 2002 for its age, it has no slack in the steering or shift linkage and drives very straight and smooth and feels solid as can be when driving, it idles perfect, and the exhaust is very smooth sounding, quiet, and compliments how promising of a car it is. The temp needle always stays just below middle once warm. (If you've ever owned BMW's, especially in Florida, you know they like to sit at the 3/4 mark, and more so with fluctuation when the headlights on!) It was the previous owner's pride and joy he took great care of it replacing many seals, rubber, and small parts. Recent Parts include a new battery, drive shaft center bearing. u joint, brake flush, front brake lines, fuel filter, air filter (weber carb assembly), and fresh oil change. This is a fun car. It's a great driver. I don’t really want to sell it, but I have too many cars in my stable now, so rather than leave this one out, its time to find a new home for it.
