BMW in Alabama
 
If I may impose on the folks here, I have a few requests.

Does anyone know about these guys? Sell My Car Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville ~ Birmingham Broker

They have a car I am interested in, this one: 1973 BMW 2002 - Used Classic Car Birmingham AL | Birmingham Broker

There are some issues with the post, engine size, etc. And the dash is cracked, the grill isn't stock, etc. I spoke with Parrish and he wasn't much help, said they sell mostly on consignment so the car is with the owner.

Standard, "over 30K spent in the repairs", etc. However, it is worth a look since they are will to chat about price. He also said the owner has reciepts documenting the work.

So, lastly, anyone that you guys can recommend putting eyes on this? I'll pay the freight for a PPI or a Pelican doing a first pass analysis so I can take it to the next step.

As always, thanks in advance. My email is seahawkermr@aol.com

I had a 2002tii in high school and have been thinking about these beauties yet again. I have priced checked these cars for months, the variance is crazy. I have also been up all the BMW sites and would prefer a Pelican reference rather than post 1 on Bimmerforums.

Thanks again.

I can't help with your question but nice car! I had a 2002 a few years ago, not a tii but a fun little beast for sure.

Just a hunch, but I don't think that is the right VIN.

Sweet car - I lust after those from time to time. Especially in orange.

I have the right Vin now, but that along with other negatives talisman(s) have me concerned.

Lust has a price, always...

Alabama folks, help me, Rhonda!

Eurasian Auto Service was the go to for older Porsches 10 years ago when I was on the hunt. You could start there.

Ian

edit: Bill was the owner's name I believe.

Bump.

You misspelled burp? ;)

Why did you pass on the one in FL for ~$6k?
Body was in perfect condition to drive around and not worry about a scratch or two.
And leaves ~$10k left for improvements.

I was still in FJ-40 mode. That deal unfortunately fell off the table: Family sickness, etc. on their end, too much stress for the young man to deal with. They asked to be relieved of their obligation and I agreed.

During that time frame I also moved into my wife's 4Runner as my DD. I love the thing long time. Getting an FJ-40 just doesn't make sense at this time.

A small, sporty car does:D

Hmm...

1974 BMW 2002 2 door sedan

1971 Classic BMW 2002

1976 BMW 2002


Did you say you preferred a Roundie? What year was the tii you had?

Ian, thanks for the tip. I spoke to Casey, who was a great guy, but they don't do older BMW's.

He directed me to Paul at the Auto Shop, Inc. Super nice guy, very knowledgeable concerning 2002's. I sent him the link to the car and if it passes his smell test, the PPI is $120.00.

Don: I'm trying to contact the guy in WI about the 1971. Thanks!

If you're going to go the 2002 route, it has to be a roundie

Concur. When I find the right one, it will be my second.

Shaun @ Tru6 12-17-2013 08:40 AM

you might want to get this:

BMW 2002 suspension kit complete ti/TII all years

I could ship it to you if you wanted.

Justin@Athens 12-17-2013 09:41 AM

I've seen multiple nice cars go through there over the past several years. However, I know nothing about them. Interested to hear feedback on them.

gt350mike 12-17-2013 09:59 AM

I might be a little late to the party but I'll make a few calls.

ddbach 12-17-2013 06:41 PM

If you reach the owner from Mequon, WI and need a PPI talk to Kevin Kummrow. Milwaukee BMW Repair, Mini Cooper Maintenance, Audi and Volkswagen Service
He may already know the car in question since his shop is not far from that area
