Vehicle Description
This 1974 BMW 2002 is US model "tii" that is fitted with factory
air-conditioning. It was purchased by the former owner in Texas in
2008 while still in its original shade of Fjord Blue but was later
changed to Malaga after it was relocated to California. While in
California, it was looked after by the specialists at Coupe King.
In addition to regular maintenance, they completely upgraded the
suspension with performance springs, Bilstein shocks, upgraded
bushings and a heavy-duty rear sway bar. The ride isn't overly
firm, and the handling is a huge improvement from stock. The
cosmetics are very presentable with minimal flaws and the Malaga
paintwork was applied to a higher standard than is usually found on
cars in this price bracket. The car sits just right on 13" steel
wheels and slightly larger 185/70 tires. The interior includes
sport seats up front, recently redone carpets against very good
door panels and headliner. The dash is excellent, but the steering
column has a hairline crack in the plastic shroud. The leather
wrapped steering wheel has some sun damage but feels great in your
hands. On the road, this tii feels very tight, handles extremely
well and the engine makes good power. The gearbox is
straightforward, and functions as intended making for a very lively
and fun to drive car. A major service was performed on August 26,
2020 that included an inspection of all mechanical and cosmetic
components, oil service, brake fluid service and rear differential
fluid change. In addition to the mechanical work, the AC system was
just completely rebuilt and is blowing ice cold.
