THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new ownerat NO RESERVE is this nice collectible classic 1974 BMW 2002tii sedan!
Finished in the original Chamonix white color over navy blue interior this 44 year-old BMW shows 5,059 miles on its working five-digit odometer and is said to have just over 100k miles but I cannot verify the actual true miles. It sports a very good running factory fuel-injected 130 horsepower 2.0 liter inline four cyilnder engine mated to the stick 4 speed manual transmission with stopping power provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. This 1974 tii features factory a/c, 14" BBS mesh alloy wheels with good rubber, Momo leather steering wheel and Momo shift knob, working factory tii-only dash-mounted clock, updated cd stereo and custom wood trim on the door panels and center console sides. Other items of note include reclining bucket seats, working heater blower motor, beltline trim moulding delete, correct spare tire and keys, vent wing windows, rear fold out windows and more! The 2002 is THE car that put BMW on the map here in the U.S. forty plus years ago and this one-year only square light injected '02 is a great find for the Bimmerphile or classic car enthusiast It is being sold with clean and clear California title and current 2018 registration.
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this classic BMW is in good to very good 99.9% rust-free "driver-quality"condition with a nice overall shine to the paint finish.While these cars are prone to rust, this car is quite good in this area being a slick-top [non-sunroof] specimen with excellent shock towers front and rear along with very solid floor boards. Imperfections include one missing wheel emblem, a couple small corrosion blisters along with light nicks, scratches and touched up spots. Overall this is still one very presentable, straight clean example that garners attention wherever you drive or park.
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos, the interior of this classic double 02 is in very good fairly original condition overall with beautiful white headliner and original sun visors and all systems in excellent working order including odometer and other gauges, lights, blinkers, horn AND the clock and heater blower fan.Imperfections include the requisite heat cracks on the dash, work key pad area, jammed driver side seat belt, a tear area on the driver seat side panel and rear seat cushion along with a bit of tattering on the loop carpet sections and weak stereo reception.Overall this is still one cool classic cockpit
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1974 starts easily and runs well with good even power delivery up to the redline, smooth shifting transmission, straight and secure braking and good handling and tracking. To bring this car closer to its "ultimate driving machine" potential, I would recommend freshening of the tie rods and other front suspension components and a moderately hissing rear differential.With its responsive engine and open and air geenhouse, this is a still satisfying cool classic!
