it looks pretty good to my totally novice eye though the right rear 1/4 panel looks a little different color than the rest... any thought on this one? no affiliation/not mine but it does interest me as a potential buyer. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-2002-Restored-1974-BMW-2002-Coupe-The-REAL-Ultimate-Driving_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ42601QQihZ012QQitemZ220219506740QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

This car (4222968) was on Ebay in Jul & Aug last year. The Seller had a Buy it Now for $8000. I do not believe it sold on ebay then. That Seller stated the car had 3.4k on a rblt mtr and it had been repainted, but still had some rust.
This current Seller has put in new(er) floor mats and painted the inside of the trunk (shock towers). This Seller does not appear too well versed on the 2002 by his description (74 was the last year/our featured 2002ti!)
Worth looking at before bidding.

Thanks Les!
I also noticed that there is an exposed seam where the right rear quarter panel meets the rear end (next to the 2002 emblem) and there NO exposed seam on the left side. What does this mean?

Also, on the front of the car, aren't the short (3"?) vertical seams above the head lamps supposed to be visible?

This all makes me wonder if there are body issues. Thanks for any clarifications/education you can give me on this!

I think the front (above headlight) seams are probably ok. They are partially visable on some cars and not on others. The rear right seam appears too visable and I agree the paint looks darker on the rear 1/4 panel. It looks ok in the passenger side shot though.
Anyway, here's some pics from the Jul '07 auction.
