1975 BMW 2002 daily driver! BMW e10 2002.
Description
It is time for me to part ways with a few of my "toys" LoL
This is a great little toy! The car has been a blast to drive, and is a real head turner. They just don't make 'em like they used to! The engine has plenty of power, and the four speed transmission shifts smoothly. The clutch has plenty of bite left as well. The tires on the car are near new, the charging system has all been replaced in the past year, rear shocks were replaced (I have the fronts, just have not found the time to install them) and a tune up was done within the last year as well. The color is Fjord blue, and the interior is dark blue leather. The exhaust is near new as well, it's been straight piped from the header, into a Magnaflow muffler, and has a great sound. The car has been driven since it's original purchase, and went through a full restoration in the early 90's. Since then, it has been daily driven by two separate owners. I acquired this car fairly recently, with intentions of restoring it and keeping it for myself, but an opportunity to move has come up and I'll have to part ways early.
Now onto the bad. The car does have some rust, and the paint is starting to show it's age. The spare tire area has the worst of it, and there is some worth mentioning on the passenger floor pan. The driver's side outside door handle is inoperable, and the car has to be opened from the inside. The sunroof is also off track, and will need to be re-positioned before trying to open. Also the gauges have begun to age, the speedometer nor the tachometer are in working order. The coolant temp gauge works perfect though, as well as the fuel gauge. The odometer was listed as TMU, but since my ownership has worked fine. Mileage is probably around 130k, but will go up as I do still drive the car. Also, on both driver's and passenger door and quarter panel, you'll notice some blue vinyl. The previous owner placed that over some surface rust areas in hopes of slowing the process.. Clearly, he wasn't a "car guy"
All problems with the car are easily fixable, just keep in mind it is 40 year old car! Despite the flaws, the car is still just as much of a blast to drive as it was new, and rides just as well! I've loved owning it, and have driven it probably 500+ miles in just the past few months. I can hardly pull into a gas station without someone stopping and talking to me about it. It truly is a nostalgic car, and has so much character. Were it not for the present opportunity, I would not be listing it for sale.
Feel free to call or text 828-606-2679 with any questions you have, I'm available anytime throughout the day.
Thanks, Mitch
