There's a tii I'm considering in the area and would like a set of eyes on it sometime soon, maybe this weekend?  Since I'm in the SF Bay Area and busy this weekend, that's difficult for me.  There's beer (or wine, your choice) in it for you!

now: '72 Inka 2000 touring, '82 Alpina C1 2.3  & '92 M5T (daily driver)

before: a lot of old BMWs (some nice, some not so much), a few air-cooled 911s and even a water-cooled Cayman S

Is that the Fjord Tii at Bavarian Rennsport in Ramona?  I tried to buy it from Bill Holmes' customer before they started restoring it mechanically.  Pretty solid car, just needed paint and trim refresh to be a very nice driver.

It is that one (and thank you for posting in the classifieds).  Do you know what mechanical restoration they did?  Rust?

I saw the car before Bill started going through it.  I asked him what the plan was for the car and he said he was waiting on the customer to decide what he was going to do.  I don't remember it having the 5 speed, so that might be new.  In fact I sold Bill one of my 5 speeds, so it might have ended up in that car.  When Bill works on cars, he pretty much fixes everything he doesn't like and begs forgiveness after.  I usually put him on a fixed budget and tell him to call me if he finds something that would put him over.  I suspect that the customer had him go through the car and fix everything mechanical.  When I saw it, it didn't have any typical rust issues (rockers, shock towers, panels), and was hoping I could get it cheap and restore it.  Apparently, that ship has sailed.

I'm not sure what is cheap for a decent tii now adays.  The more I think about the car (and my lack of garage space) the less it makes sense.....

I think it is fairly priced for a mechanically sorted, non-rusty tii.  When I saw it, I was thinking under $10K, not $18K.  I spent about $10K on the restoration of my 75 and was thinking anything under $10K would put me above water at the end.

    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
