1973 Bmw 2002. Full Restoration. 5 Speed, Dual Carbs, Coilovers on 2040-cars
Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, United States
|
With great hesitation I am moving forward with the sale of my 1973 BMW 2002. This has been a five year restoration process which involved complete disassembly of the car down to every nut, bolt, and component. The body was paint stripped to the metal. Minimal rust repair necessary which was accomplished with new metal. All chasis metal was acid washed and treated before painting. Painting was professionally done with OEM Glasurit paint in BMW Chamonix white. This was sprayed with an epoxy based paint for longenvity and protection. All suspension components were hot tanked, stripped, cleaned to bare metal, inspected for rust, and painted with epoxy chasis paint or powder coated. All brand new OEM BMW bushings were installed. Entire chasis was sound-proofed with FatMat adhesive sound insulation.
Motor was completely broken down, hot tanked, cleaned, bored over 0.50". Brand new Mahle high compression piano top pistons. Original rods re-bushed and balanced. Crank cleaned spec'd and polished. New bearing throughout. New BMW oil pump. Valve and timing cover powder coated. Brand new Ireland Engineering 4" aluminum crankshaft pulley. Ireland Engineering Aluminum radiator. Head rebuilt with new valve guides and seals, and valves. Brand New Schrick 292 cam installed with new Febi cam followers and high performance Schrick valve springs. Fuel delivered by Carter fuel pump mounted in the trunk feeding twin Dellorto DHLA 40 rebuilt carbs. Carbs mounted with a one piece Ireland Engineering manifold. Carbs have aluminum velocity stacks with mesh air filters. Brand new lighter, and stronger BMW 320 starter installed. New clutch, pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel. Performance ceramic coated header and exhaust down pipe mated to Ansa sport exhaust. 5 speed conversion: 3 series 5 speed transmission with approx 150K on transmission--works flawlessly. New mounts welded on chasis for 5 speed transmission (from Aardvark). Original driveshaft cut and shortened. Ireland Engineering 5 speed short shifter and shifter assembly. Original open diff still installed and working fine. Other Items: -OEM gas tank was cleaned, treated and powder coated. -Pedal box powder coated and reassembled with new bushings and components. -Front suspension converted to coil-over with Ground Control adjustable coilover kit. Struts shortened, Bilstein inserts. -Ireland Engineering adjustable camber plates. -Rear suspension set with Ireland stage II springs and Bilstein sport shocks. -Racetep rear brace/battery relocation kit for relocating battery to the trunk. -ENTIRE wiring harness (front and rear) replaced with brand new NOS OEM BMW harness. -Front headlights are NOS Euro style Hella. -Front turn signals are new OEM Euro flat style. -New OEM style carpet and headliner -New seatbelts up front. -New OEM BMW windshield (green tint). -New OEM BMW rubber used throughout (doors, windows, decklids, etc. -Front and rear bumpers are NOS original bumpers. Not re-chromed. Front bumper currently not mounted. -Red center Euro tail light lenses. Original unrestored parts/components: Original interior--not refurbished. This is why driver seat has a tear. Original dash, instrument cluster, Blaupunkt radio. Original trunk boards Original heater core and heater box rebuilt (completely disassembled, cleaned, painted, new foam etc). Huge PITA but worth it. Original rear and side glass (green tint). Original belt-line aluminum trim, door trim, and rocker trim. 2 sets of wheels. 1: BMW turbine 13" X 5.5 with Bridgestone Potenza rubber. 200 miles on the tires max. 2: Original Mahle 13X6 wheels with Front Hella 500 Yellow fogs lights. Fiam dual tone air horns. I am sure there is something I am missing. This project has been a blast. Have probably over 300 photos detailing the entire restoration process. I love the car and would keep it but other interests are brewing and I cannot afford to keep all the toys. If I continued this would certainly morph into a classic race series 2002. This car has about 1K of use since the rebuild. Everything works as it should. Nothing leaks. Gets tons of attention whereever I go and at Cars'N'coffee events. If you are looking for a GREAT example of a 2002 to daily drive this is it. Or you could take this further and turn it into a great classic racer. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. If purchasing: 500.00 dollar NON-refundable down payment via paypal within 48 hrs of the end of auction. Remainder of payment due 7 days after intial 48 hrs. Certified check or cash. NO WARRANTY. CAR IS SOLD AS-IS. Keep in mind this is not a new car and though restored is over 30 years old. I will do everything to represent this car honestly. Shipping or pick-up of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. I will try to assist any way possible. I have had cars shipped across the country. It is pretty straight forward. Thanks for looking! |

Formula Drift kicks off 11th season on Streets of Long Beach
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The 2014 Formula Drift series kicked off last weekend in Long Beach, and saw Chris Forsberg, who you'll recall went mad and drifted around a warehouse in an Infiniti M, take the title behind the wheel of his Hankook Tire Nissan 370Z (shown above).
Forsberg really ran away with the first round of competition, outscoring his closest opponent, second-place finisher Kenneth Moen and his Bridges Racing Nissan 240SX, by 20 points. Third place was 2013 championship winner Michael Essa and his Yokohama BMW M3, 30.5 points behind Forsberg.
In the manufacturers' title, Nissan took an early lead with 122 points, which isn't a huge surprise considering five of the top ten drifters were piloting either a Z or a product of the brand's S platform. Ford, which had two drivers (Justin Pawlak and Vaughn Gittin, Jr.) in the top ten, took home second place, while BMW is currently third in the manufacturers' standings.
BMW 2 Series Convertible goes for a drive in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013The BMW 2 Series is the car that will eventually replace the 1 Series here in the United States (remember: the 1 Series moniker will live on to describe the hatchback models in other markets), and while we've seen the new coupe out on the prowl, we're now seeing the droptop version out on the road. We don't have much information about the new 2er models, only that they are expected to bow sometime in 2014.
Dimensionally, the new 2 Series convertible looks very similar in size to its outgoing 1 Series kin, with things like the roofline and roof shape looking nearly identical. Of course, reworked front and rear fascias are immediately noticeable, and judging by what little we can see, it appears as though the small BMW will take many of its design cues from the larger 3 Series rather than the oft-awkward-looking 1 Series hatch that's currently available in Europe.
Assuming things are still on track for 2014, we won't rule out a possible debut in Geneva, though the Frankfurt expo in September makes even more sense.
BMW brings first diesel 7 Series to US with $82,500* 740Ld xDrive
Fri, 24 Jan 2014After almost 40 years on the market, there are probably few things the BMW 7 Series hasn't offered, but when it comes to the US market, one of those things just happens to be a diesel engine. That is all about to change, however, as BMW announced that it will unveil the 2014 740Ld xDrive at the Chicago Auto Show before sales commence later in the spring.
Offered only on long-wheelbase models with standard all-wheel drive, the new diesel 7 is powered by BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six producing 255 horsepower and a stout 413 pound-feet of torque peaking between 1,500 and 3,000 rpm. While BMW has yet to release any type of fuel economy figures, it did say that its diesel technology is usually good for an improvement of 25 to 30 percent over the gas models - just for fun, that means that the 740 Ld xDrive could get as much as 24.7 miles per gallon in the city and 36.4 mpg on the highway, but that's just doing the math and there is nothing official behind those numbers. Acceleration will take a little longer than in the 740Li xDrive (shown above) with BMW stating 6.1 seconds from 0-60 compared to 5.4 seconds for the gas model.
Another small increase over the gas version will be in price, with the 740Ld xDrive getting a starting MSRP of $82,500 (*not including $925 for destination), which is just a $1,500 bump over the 740Li xDrive. For comparison, the Audi A8L TDI starts at $78,800, while the previous-gen Mercedes S350 Bluetec was priced at $93,000. Scroll down for more info on the new diesel-powered 7 Series, and stay tuned to our live coverage from Chicago in a couple weeks as we'll have live images and hopefully more info.
