After 25 years in the business!

I'm putting together a "Liquidation" website for them right now and they'll be selling off all 12 ACRES of their inventory. TONS of stuff, and it all has to go.

Question for everyone.. As I walk through their place taking pictures and drooling over all kinds of stuff, I wonder how the hell we're going to let everyone know what they have. Got any ideas? At this point all we have is a bunch of pictures of the yard and warehouses and are expecting people to call or walk in, but most of what they have is not on a database of any kind that I can extract and post to the website.

Has anyone else gone through this before?

give another thanks to Bob when you see him again, thanking him for the "121" cylinder he sent me at no charge last fall, tell him the '69 2000 runs great, bottom end was done while the cylinder head he sent was being rebuilt, clutch is all set, new oem exhaust system is on and heater core he included with the car is also in and good. I'll e-mail him also but tell him thanks again for me and I wish those guys well. Any interesting 2000 stuff you stumble on let me know, nothing too big though Dan, as I'm in western N.Y., thanks,

Tim.

I was at Antelope a few weeks back, scouting parts for the mighty ti. They had 3 NK's in the yard, all pretty well picked over. Not much upholstery, no drive train not much trim. I was planning on visiting this weekend to pickup parts for my wife's VW convertible.

If you are looking for something, specific, let me know and I will look for it.

There are a couple decent bumpers (I know there are some good bumper pieces), and they also have some other stuff tucked away in the warehouse. I was thinking about offering to sell all the "special" BMW stuff for them as individual parts, as opposed to waiting for people to snag them later. In otherwords, put aside parts that I think you guys might like. There's no way I can look for specific parts for anybody, but I may end up putting what I find on their site and letting you guys know. Stay tuned.

parts, the rear center section for my '69 2000 is what I may be after. Dan, you remember, it already has a small dent right about the center of it, it was recently backed into a couple of weeks ago while still at a friend's place, nothing big, about the same size as the other small dent and Mark ( the guy that did all the work on my 2000) feels terrible, his niece backed into the car. He offered to replace the bumper and I told him really not to worry about it but he's pretty much set on getting the bumper part. Anyhow, I called Carl Nelson recently and he wants $250.00 for a nice/used center section, the one on the car now is in very nice shape, no rust/pitting, I really thought Carl could do a bit better than $250.00, I can see $125.00 or maybe a little bit more but $250.00 is a bit much and even though Mark is willing to pay full shot, I wouldn't want him to pay that much. So, if you guys can, next time you're over at Antelope, see what Bob wants for a nice center rear bumper section for a 2000. If by chance, Mark has gotten with Carl ( I gave him Carl's number/e-mail address) and has bought that section I'll let you know, thanks,

Tim.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
