Year:: 1976


Make:: BMW


Model:: 2002


Price:: 7000


Location: : Cincinnati, OH

I am selling my beloved 2002. I originally bought this car around Feb 2011 from a lady in Philly who has owned it for the previous 15 years, taking very good care of it. I had a local shop fix it up prior to flying in and driving it back to Cincinnati. There is a paper stack of service history about 1" thick that I'll be providing.

The good:

Engine was bored out and 5-speed manual transmission added. Not sure about actual mileage now; odometer shows 13x,xxx but only 30k on the new tranny; best guess is somewhere around 150k. Car runs really well, idles well, starts every time. On highway, I get about 30 mpg.

The master brake cylinder leaked once upon a time causing the driver-side frame rail to rust. I had a welder seal in that side, made the car really stiff. Pro job, very well done. I can provide pictures.

Prior to my drive from Philly to Cincy, I had a couple brake lines replaced, new tires put on the stock 14" wheels and spare tire, and new brake calipers, among other things.

In my ownership, the car hasn't seen rain or snow. I've stored it in a heated garage in the winter time. Car comes with car cover. Every time I park it, I put it on a battery tender.

Rear upholstery looks fantastic. Front dash plastic doesn't have any cracks. Carpet looks great too.

The bad:

Radio and A/C don't work.

Passenger window won't roll all the way up. I currently have the regulator apart (along with the door lining) but haven't had time for that little project. Probably needs a new regulator.

Slight accumulation of rust around the fender wells. Easily fixed by cutting out and adding turbo flares :)

Driver's seat pretty much worn through, spring are dead.

Needs a new exhaust. Shocks are likely exhausted too.

Gas pedal not present, just the bar that holds it. Tried getting a replacement from BavAuto but it didn't match. Accelerator still works, obviously, just takes a bit of getting used to.post-48122-0-63896900-1420817817_thumb.jpost-48122-0-10785200-1420817822_thumb.jpost-48122-0-42394600-1420817825_thumb.jpost-48122-0-23407600-1420817829_thumb.jpost-48122-0-63127300-1420817832_thumb.jpost-48122-0-60546800-1420817835_thumb.jpost-48122-0-72133500-1420817838_thumb.jpost-48122-0-48805300-1420817841_thumb.jpost-48122-0-58544600-1420817844_thumb.jpost-48122-0-54366100-1420817847_thumb.j

    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
