1972 BMW 2002tii Roundie Atlantik Blue NO RESERVE NR

1972 BMW 2002 tii Description

This is a 1972 BMW 2002tii in rare Atlantik dark blue.
Please email me for large photo file, eBay does not allow link.
This car starts and drives great, has a great gearbox and supple suspension.
The paint, while not flawless is outstanding. It has been skillfully resprayed with the original color. No evidence of rust in the usual places.
The usual cracks in the dash are not there, I believe the dash has been replaced prior to my possession of this car.
I have had it for about 2 years. It is a nice driver grade car that has some needs that I will list below.
THE GOOD
Unmolested engine starts and runs strongly.
Gearbox shifts smoothly
No noise or problems from the rear end
Suspension is excellent
Paint is very good with one exception, below
Chrome all in place and in good shape, with one exception, below
Interior is presentable and in good shape.
Headliner excellent
Ansa exhaust in good shape with good sound
Brakes excellent
Factory alloy wheels in good shape but not perfect
Clear title in hand.
THE BAD
Most of the bad involves electrical issues I have not had time to attend to.
Nonfunctional but present: radio, wipers, horn, A/C
Have not tried washers or heater so I don't know about them
Dash has an odd small crack in front if the steering wheel (pictured in PhotoBucket album), not a usual 02 crack
Clock is included but not installed, I doubt it works.
Seats are original with recovers that have a mismatch of color, smooth part to weave part. They are a bit overstuffed and oddly, they are both passenger seats! I'm shaking my head over that.
Odometer is incorrect and comically cycles on the tenth of a mile rather than the mile so the numbers go up quickly!
Carpets are in good shape, gray while the door panels and seats are tan, incorrect.
The doors require a pretty stout slam to close properly as is common with 02s.
Door panels are complete but loose.
Some door trim is loose.
Steering is loose on center.
There is a defect in the roof where it looks like a small limb may have fallen on the car, pictured in PhotoBucket album.
The chrome rain gutters are not installed, I bought them new and they are included with the car.
The car leaks a small amount of oil. Seems all my cars leak a little oil...
It never needs oil top up between oil changes.
Pedal box is rusty, see PhotoBucket album.
Tires are cheapies but with decent tread. This car wants the new owner to buy some nice Michelin repros from Coker. Front left has a slow leak and requires some air about once a month.
No tools or books. Spare tire is present.
THE UGLY
Before I owned the car, it appears it was hit in the rear. There is irregularity of the INSIDE of the trunk lid as though body work has been done. The bright side is the body work was done with a lot of skill, I can't tell what has been repaired and what has not, even with close inspection.magnet sticks to everything. There is no rust at all that I can find on this car with the exception of the pedal box which is rust (common with 02s)
THE BOTTOM LINE
This is a nice driver grade car that draws a lot of comments. The dark blue is particularly suited to this body style. It is not a show car! The defects are relatively minor and it would not take a lot of effort to take it to the next step.
ABOUT ME
I am a 59 year old urologist living in Spartanburg SC. I have perfect feedback on eBay because I treat people fairly and try hard to describe items very openly. I have sold numerous cars and motorcycles on eBay and have 100% positive feedback without a single neutral or negative. I gave no intention of getting crossways with anyone, life is too short.
This is my 4th 2002. I have always adored these cars.
Hemmings did an article about one of my other 2002s, again eBay will not allow a link so I can email you a link....
Or Google "Hemmings Memory Lane Memory Maker 2002"


While we are at it, they did an article about another one of my cars, here:
Google "Hemmings Dino Never Grow Up"

I always start my auctions at ONE DOLLAR WITH NO RESERVE. People think that is foolish but eBay has such a large audience that I think the items find their correct price.
I will not end the auction early. I will not respond to any communication asking for a "buy it now" price. That is not fair to the other bidders. This car will sell on this auction to the highest bidder.
I cannot sell the car to Canada or outside the US. I did that once with a Boxster and there were numerous problems.
DESPITE WHAT EBAY SAYS IN THIS AD I WILL NOT SHIP OUTSIDE OF THE CONTINENTAL USA.
I will require $1000 deposit within 48 hours, PayPal preferred but FedEx cashier check is OK.
Remainder cashier check or wire transfer within 7 days. Wire transfer is preferred as there are good quality fake cashier checks out there.
This is a 45 year old car. There is no warranty. That would be silly.
The car is in Spartanburg SC about ten miles from the intersection of I-26 and I-85.2.5 hours to Atlanta, 1 hour to Charlotte. Inspection and test drive welcomed and encouraged.

I have had a number of inquiries about the undercarriage.
The photos make it look like there is a lot of rust.
The pedal box is rusty and needs replacement. I took photos today and I see there is a rectangular patch under the drivers heel pad just aft of the pedal box.
The structural rail lateral to thus has only surface rust despite how it might look in the photos.
I am posting a new galley of photos. The last two drawings are a reference to the first two photos, I tried to get them next to their respective photos but PhotoBucket had other plans.
Please copy and paste this link but replace the "xx" with "tt", eBay won't allow it other wise.

Inquiry has been made to "matching numbers".
The steering column matches the plate on the right wheel well but I simply cannot see the numbers on the flat surface on the engine in front of the timing hole.
Everything under the hood looks like ut has been there for 45 years but I dunno.
If it is important to you, I suppose you should assume non-matching and if it turns out otherwise, great.
