I went and checked out this car yesterday.  At $7000 it was easy to pass on.  I think with all the parts (if they are any good) some k-fish parts

I'd fork over $5,500 max.

 

Here is what I found:

The body is pretty rust free.  Floors, sub frame, shock towers, front apron, hood, decklid, trunk bottom are all very rust free.  There were a few rust bubbles around the lower front windshield  frame, a couple of bubble spots on the lower section of the doors, and some small holes in the rocker panel front section right behind the passenger side fender.

 

The entire car has a paint job with the texture of an avocado.  Seller was like "it could use a cut and polish" - NO! it's a complete strip and fix the few rust bubbles that are present.

Oddly though it looks to me like the door jams, trunk and engine bay were repainted too but don't have the avocado skin texture.

 

Engine was a later m10.

Head was an E12

Has a weber dgv

Also had a Tii timing cover bolted up too.

 

Dash is of course cracked all over

Interior could probably be cleaned up and made presentable

    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
