1976 BMW 2002 - clean and excellent running
1976 BMW 2002 Description
Up for sale is my baby, my 1976 BMW 2002 located in Houston, TX. I've owned the car since December of 2015, and unfortunately will be moving for work and it does not make sense for me to keep this. The previous owner owned it for 6 years, he was the 3rd owner. I have all of previous owners receipts as well as mine. I also have official restoration guide and automotive repair manual.
I will update the listing as I have more time and remember things. In the meantime:
Interior includes new Corbeau micro suede front seats, black carpet kit, reupholstered original back micro suede bench seat, new rear deck, custom micro suede headliner with //M color stitching, new sound system (4 speakers and CD player with bluetooth), new teal seat belts, new Renown Monaco Silver steering wheel with BMW center. Everything is black, but the door panels are still blue and driver side bottom is starting to come loose but still in great shape. Overall interior is very nice and clean. The car never had AC (two owners ago removed it) and heater does not work. Odometer does not work, is showing around 49k miles, which is probably incorrect.
Exterior is slightly above driver quality. I repaired rust on rocker panels, rear bumper, and inside the front wheel wells. There is still a bit of rust in the front bumper, but nothing serious. I had 2002 turbo flares, front bumper, and spoiler painted and installed less than a year ago. There are a couple small scratches and dents here and there, but other than that the paint looks good. Previous owner replaced the front and rear windshields and gaskets, both roundels and some of the trim. All lights function and blink or shine when they are supposed to except front left turn indicator which does not shine when idle. Trunk is perfect. Previous owner refinished original wheels, and they are holding up pretty well. Michelin tires still have some life left in them. Previous owner also replaced front brakes and calipers and rear drums, shoes and cylinders. Car brakes exceptionally well for being 40 years old. Also recently added new front grill to replace previous blacked out grill.
In the engine compartment, previous owner spent a great deal of time replacing many parts over the years. Overall, car runs great, starts up easily, and cruises fine. Gets a little cranky in cold weather and requires some finesse with the choke. Battery is fairly new. Previous owner replaced starter, installed a new distributor and cap, and plugs and coils, as well as new alternator. Previous owner replaced the carburetor with a new Weber carburetor. I installed Ansa center exhaust and sport muffler, resealed the transmission, had the carburetor cleaned and tuned, replaced master slave cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, custom aluminum radiator, changed oil and filter less than two months ago, new plugs, and if I think of anything else I will add it here.
Overall, car is an awesome looker. Get stares everywhere. Runs and drives great. Very tight. Will miss it. Feel free to contact me with questions or to schedule a time to come see it. Thanks
