The M10 engine is very reliable engine with a timing chain.

I have all records under my ownership. (Past ~8 years)

Buyer will receive a Bavarian Autosport car cover, steering wheel club, trickle charger and 2 boxes of assorted parts/accessories

Under my owner ship vehicle was maintained primarily by Joe's Auto Barn, TX then Sigy's Automotive in Rockville, MD; mechanics that know the BMW 2002

Once on the east coast she was brought to theClassic Car Center in Fredericksburg, VA for winter storage

I'm selling the car because I have two BMWs and I'm moving cross country.

This car was meant for one who wants to enjoy the car and drive it; this is not going to be a concourse trophy winner.

Known issues:

  • Before I purchased the car it had repaired front end damage; this causes the left headlight to shine slightly off level. The Hella driving lights were installed and allow for night driving when desired.
  • During my ownership the rear end and right quarter panel were damaged in a parking lot then completely replaced leaving the door gap slightly larger on the passenger side. Although this occurred the car retains a clear title and the frame is straight. I've driven it in the rain many times and have never had water come into the interior; this has no effect on the driveability of the car.
  • 2ndgear synchros are worn. Car will slip out of 2ndgear on deceleration. A replacement of the 4 speed gearbox will solve this problem.
  • Trip meter and the Odometer do not currently work. 67,919 is not the total mileage; this should be an easy fix. I just haven't gotten around to remedy it. odometergears.com or nhspeedometer.com would be who i would contact.
  • Gas gauge does not currently operate
  • Engine leaks a small amount of oil (this is normal for a car of this age/type)
  • Heat blower does not work; this is common amongst 2002s of this vintage
  • I'm happy to answer any questions or discuss the vehicle.
    Thank you,
