1974 BMW 2002 Chamonix For Sale in Portland, OR

[evoldog]

Price: $5750

Location: Portland, Oregon, USA

Description:

Well, I'm finally selling my much-loved, well-sorted daily driver with a recently rebuilt engine that I purchased in California in 2011 after somebody listed it on this very forum.

It has been regularly maintained at Boyd Motor Werks in Portland.

It has a chamonix exterior and blue interior with a 4 speed manual transmission and a rare aftermarket Britax ragtop sunroof.

I have over $20,000 in receipts of work done in the last 7 years.

The car also has an Alpine stereo with bluetooth and iPhone USB connector, an amplifier under the rear seat and 4 Focal speakers, two of which are hidden under the rear parcel tray beneath speaker fabric.

Major service history:

2010

The car sits a little lower than stock on Bilstein shocks.

I have the title in hand but it is a reconstructed title. I believe a previous owner was in an accident and the settlement money was used to fund the 2010 repaint. Seven years later the paint is good but not perfect. Staining around gas cap. The paint in the engine bay is rough. The only sign of an accident is the passenger side frame rail (non-structural, beneath where the passenger's feet would be) is bent upward by about an inch. It was professionally inspected when I bought the car in 2011 and declared to be ok.

Shock towers don't have rust, but here's where you will find it: 

Lower driver's side door, in the bottom corner.
Spare tire wheel well (very small amount)

There was rust around the heater box and the passenger-side front wheel well. The rust was removed, cleaned with POR-15, painted, and repaired with JB-weld patches where there were pinholes).

Odometer is not currently running.

While this is a fun car to work on and drive, my family has grown and it isn't getting the attention it deserves anymore. It's also not a great car to drive in the rain because the water sometimes gets in around the front speakers and occasionally from the sunroof.

Let me know if you have any questions! I'm hoping it will go to somebody who will love and enjoy it as much as I have.

I think Charmonix is a brand of toilet paper ;-), but Chamonix is the color of your car, pronounced "Sham-mon-knee"

 

Good luck with your sale!

No I did it right, this is the toilet paper color. 

 

I'll fix it if I can figure out how!

 

Thanks.

Nice work on the floor pans.. Best of luck with the sale!

[evoldog]

Thanks Artcop! It was a lot of work to do it right but I wanted it to last either for me or the next owner. My mechanic now tells other '02 owners doing that job to talk to me about how I did it.

Love the car, where did you get your rear seatbelts?

[evoldog]

Thanks, Dudeland, I don't remember who I got them from but they were from somebody like seatbeltplus.com. They are retractable units bolted to the back of the rear seat in the trunk, that slip through Porsche trim pieces and slots cut into the rear parcel shelf.

Anybody know how to change the photo that shows up first? So it's the car and not the floor pans.

Delete them all and post the photos in the order you want them to show, first to last.
