This 1972 BMW 2002 was restored in the late 1990s by the previous long-term owner and presents very well with good paint and strong mechanicals. The car retains its original engine and desirable early round taillights and small bumpers. There is no evidence of prior accident repair and the car has been extensively undercoated for rust protection. The seller says there is not a speck of rust on the car and it drives superbly without any squeaks or rattles. It is currently fitted with later 13″ OEM BMW mesh wheels, and original steel items are included as well. The car has just been serviced in preparation for sale.

All stainless, chrome and plastic trim is intact and in good condition, though bumpers show light hazing and door handles some pitting. Sheet metal is straight and shows no evidence of prior accident repair on top or underneath. 13″ BMW mesh alloy wheels suit the car very well, especially with correctly sized 185/70 Michelin MXV radials. Factory correct Granada paint was resprayed in 1996, but retains a deep, uniform shine across all panels.

Professionally applied with three coats of clear over the basecoat, the seller says it has minimal chips or scratches. A non-sunroof car, all glass except for the windshield shows factory VIN markings. The seller has been over the car with a magnet and says there is no filler anywhere.

The interior was also restored to stock appearance. Carpets and OEM style upholstery are very clean and note the original Klippan seat belts. A period Muntz FM/MPX eight track deck is fitted – the radio works but the tape player does not. The dash is in generally good shape apart from a single, central crack, and all gauges, lights and controls work–the original wiper switch has been replaced with a column-mounted stalk combining flashers, washer and wiper controls and appears to have been pulled from an E21 320i. A kill switch is hidden on the floor behind the driver’s seat. The headliner is original.

Recent work included fitment of a new output shaft seal and shift rod seal, clutch slave cylinder, thermostat, muffler and backup light switch. Since the engine leaked a little bit of oil, the seller had all seals and gaskets replaced. He adds that it starts easily when cold or hot, and shifts smoothly through all gears.

The seller reports that the car tracks straight on all road surfaces and that brakes have good pedal feel and response. The odometer recently stopped working at 87,457 miles with around 1000 miles logged since. The sale includes the original bill of sale and a handful or maintenance invoices from the previous owner, as well as the five extra steel wheels.
