1969 BMW 2002 for Sale - San Jose, CA

Price: $8000
Location: San Jose, CA


Description:

Hello everyone, I am selling my 2002 after a serious love affair. I am moving out of state, and wont have time to bring it with me and continue my slow project. This BMW is a restoration candidate if someone is willing to take it on. I have cared well for this vehicle and am looking to place it in a good home. His name is "Snow".

The pictures below are from when I first purchased the car @ 2002 Haus in San Luis Obispo, CA.

 

Please PM me with any questions, thanks!

 

Exterior:

White, has been repainted prior to my ownership but will (obviously) need more paint and bodywork. As far as I can tell, all rust spots do not penetrate through, and should clean up nicely for restoration. No accidents, all original. Wheels are aftermarket, I do have the original if you want/request them.

 

Interior:

Tan, front seats have tears and carpet is destroyed. Will need full restoration on seats and carpet. Dash is cracked, big surprise. Comes with Nardi steeling wheel as pictured, I do not have the original wheel.

 

Drivetrain:

Original engine and transmission. Engine was rebuilt prior to my ownership, and is very clean. I have started to notice some oil leaks at the valve cover and timing cover. Currently the engine is running rough and likely needs a small tune up in the form of sparks, wires, and maybe a new coil. I installed a Tii mechanical distributer when I purchased. I recently replaced the original Solex carb with a Weber K909 single barrel. The Solex started to leak fuel, and the Weber is just a stop gap until the Solex can be repaired. Car will come with both carbs. Transmission works well, no issue.

 

Documentation:

I have all records of this car dating back to its original owner and sticker in 1970. Has original black plates (not the new fakes one in CA). I also have a lot of extra parts and would be willing to sell them at an extra cost if interested.

Is that a glass moonroof or just a different colored steel panel?  Could be the sister car to my 69. What's the VIN?  

 

It's a solid metal sunroof. When I bought the car, the sunroof was dismantled for replacement but the owner never got it done. So the sunroof was left outside and it completely rusted. I will post more pictures tomorrow when I get a chance before I go to work.

It's still got the same 94/194k on it when "Vroomer" had it for sale 10 years ago. Stored or odo not working?

 

Where did Vroomer go?

I bought this car in San Luis Obispo, CA from Rob Torres @ 2002 Haus a few years ago. Rob was storing it and working on it for one of his out-of-state clients. I have a 72' Tii that I am restoring, and I bought this 69' from him as a daily driver while I work on the 72'.

 

The pictures I posted above are from when I first bought the car, so its likely the miles never changed since it was sitting. The miles have rolled over and its now at x02,100. Based on the records, I believe its rolled over to 302.

 

Current pics are coming soon...

Do you know which wheels are on it in the embedded pics above?

I don't know the name or model of those wheels, but they are the original wheels that were on the car when I bought it. I still have the original wheels and they will come with the sale. The wheels that are on the car now (in the Dropbox pics) will also come with the car.

Well I was hoping for a better look at them. :)

 

Do you have a better pic available?

 

Thanks,

The original wheels are at my storage facility, along with all the extra parts for the car. I wont be able to get to it for a couple weeks, but will post pictures once I do. I just moved up to the San Jose area recently, having been from San Luis Obispo. So a lot of my stuff is still down there.

That number may be a first series 69. Does it have a long neck differential and single circuit brakes?

@golf73Cool. Could be.

 

Thanks!

i think they most definitely are, they have the same bolt pattern and offset. Look at the pictures closey and you'll see. I've been running 1973 GT wheels, which are rare one-year-only wheels, and similar to the ROstyle wheels you'll see on many cars of the period, on my 02 for a long time now. They are not "original wheels" to this car, but original to the owner when he bought the car. So he needs to know. As for the current alloys on there i have no idea what they are

    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
