Wow! Nice jobbie.. looks gorge.

Good luck with the sale. If one restored a 2002Tii to that level now, it would cost twice the asking price.

Nice, but for that asking price couldn't it be outfitted with the correct intake runners (plastic), air filter box (I believe it has a '74) and interior panels for starters? Not too much to ask, IMHO.

nice car! 

 

BUT

 

...for 53k I'd want original seats F/B (love the Recaro seats but typicaly the big $$ is going to cars with original seats).

 

Trunk looks amazing!... but they forgot the vinyl wire cover pieces that go along the sides towards the rear of the trunk. Also the spare wheel is not stock to that year. Small details but I ALWAYS look for those and 90% of 02's don't have either of those. Pelly's car had both those in mint cond.

 

Stock rims would be better... tii option wheels or steelies and hubbies'

 

 

Also ditch the steering wheel for a nice stock wheel...Fat small steering wheels are the great fun... but...

 

picky picky I know but that's what I'm seeing...original cars = $$

 

When someone says 'restored' I want to see RESTORED back to original before I drop that dollar

This is a 1973 model: the new U.S. model year, for BMW and most car brands, ran from approximately September 1 to August 31. The first 1973 U.S. tii is VIN 2762630, manufactured in October 1973.  BMW Archives records cars on a simple calendar year basis and does not characterize U.S. model years in its records. VIN 2762946 was, indeed, manufactured within the 1972 calendar year, but any U.S.-spec tii from 2762630 onward is a 1973 model, ending with VIN 2764521 (manufactured July 1973). My records show that VIN 2762950, 4 cars later, was manufactured November 2, 1972, so I’d guess this car, VIN 2762946, was manufactured either the same day or just before November 2.

 

The switchover from plastic to aluminum runners — and 121 head to E12 head — began with VIN 2761944, in June 1972. This changeover began and ended within the 1972 model year. By August 1972, all U.S. tii’s received aluminum intake runners and E12 heads. Thus, this car is correct with aluminum intake runners although, to 1936spyder’s point, the center section of the air box is from a U.S. 1974 model: it has a bracket for the vacuum limiter valve only found on U.S. 1974 models.

 

Never saw an Agave with black interior. Always saddle or tobacco from the factory.... Below, the January 1972 all-models, global paint and upholstery brochure, with concordance table of exterior-interior colors and color images of both.  K14/20 is the all-vinyl interior we expect on a factory Agave car.

 

Enough trivia!

 

Good luck with your sale,

 

Steve

Steve-

 

So early '73 models could have pre '73 front bumperettes? I don't recall seeing an Agave either with black interior; Saddle was it I believe. My guess is that the original Saddle panels needed replacing (shot Mylar, speaker holes perhaps) so the decision was made to recover in black taking inspiration from '74-'76 panels as they're more elementary design-wise to replicate (approximately). Saddle replaced Tobacco as well in '71-'72 also, yes?

 

Then of course there are the flag mirrors, incorrect washer bottle/container, red ctr tail light lenses, etc...

 

Shaving of the side-markers is no biggie to me, but if you're gonna do it, replace the U.S. spec front turn signal lens with Euro's as well, IMHO.

Agreed on all points, except no, this car came from the factory with the pointy 1973-only front bumperettes. It currently wears the pre-1973 model bumperettes on the front. In addition, the rear bumper has been “tucked in” by switching from the 1973-only 2 1/2 mph bumper mounts to the pre-1973 model mounts. I cannot tell from the photos whether the front bumper has also been tucked in by using pre-1973 model mounts, but it’s quite possible.

 

It’s not uncommon for 1973 models to get this “retro-improvement”. Although I’m confident my ‘73 will retain its slightly awkward original bumper appearance while in my hands, I’d certainly argue that the pre-1973 model bumpers just plain looked better!

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

Yes, I prefer the tucked bumper look but the pre-'73 front bumperettes are horribly awkward looking. The '73 specific bumperettes echo in silhouette the profile of the car's nose which is much more harmonious aesthetically IMHO. Curious choice by the restorer, unless it was a transitional car due to its build date?

I’ve seen lots of U.S. ‘73’s with this post-factory retro bumper conversion. It’s almost as common as stripping side-marker lights and reflectors from U.S. models. The ‘73-only front bumperettes, i.e., the pointy guys, were actually the common bumperettes on most Euro-spec cars, for a wide range of model years. That’s probably why they seem to match the car’s overall design.  On the other hand, the typical U.S. bumperettes — those other than the ‘73 bumperettes — were designed primarily to meet U.S. bumper requirements, and probably relegated aesthetic considerations to, at best, a secondary position.

 

The “transitional” 1972 tii’s (plastic-to-aluminum runner, 121-to-E12 head) were built between June and August 1972. All were U.S. 1972 models. This is not a transitional car. This is a 1973 model.

 

Best regards,

I assume the judges were not that familiar with '02s.

 

I would expect better for $53k.

 

Along with the afore-mentioned irregularities...…….Achtung! sticker and cross-hair fuel-temp gauge.

[2double02]

The under side appears to be showing Malaga through the black undercoating.  Good looking car though.

[1936spyder]

Yes, right front frame rail. Also, Agave overspray on rear muffler...

No more black plastic runners after mid 1972.
