1973 Bmw 2002 Oem+ on 2040-cars
Bedford, Pennsylvania, United States
1973 BMW 2002 2.0L, E21 head Weber 32/36 dgv w/ manual choke VIN 2590293 The original owner drove the car
for 20 years, putting 156K miles on it. He maintained it well and decided to
turn the car into a racer. He installed new Bilstein racing shocks and new
Eibach springs. He also installed the Zender rear spoiler, the aftermarket
sunroof, removed the entire metal waist moulding and filled all the holes. At a point nearing the end of his 20 year
ownership, he had the shock towers repaired professionally (see pictures). He also
painted the body Chamonix white from the original Sahara tan. He then sold the
car to its 2nd owner, who did loads of work to the car and after
roughly 14 years of owning the car, he (the 2nd owner) sold the 2002
to me. During possession of the 2nd owner… He installed the drivetrain from a
restored 73 ‘02 totaled rollover, which he had previously acquired. The motor
from that car was a 1975 (e21 head) which was completely rebuilt, bored and
balanced, new cam and some bottom end work as well. The transmission (rebuilt) was solid with no
synchro issues. The clutch was also new. The driveshaft was rebuilt as well. I have since replaced the
thermostat and flushed the coolant system. Included in the sale comes an extra
water pump. I have also recently replaced the starter. The Carburation which
was installed is a Weber 32/36 DGV with manual choke and K&N air filter.
Since then I have installed a new set of plugs, wires and a new coil pack.
During being away at school the car had to sit for quite some time and when I
went to run it again, I messed with the timing, in doing so my adjustable
timing gun broke so I had to use an older one… Due to this I had to set the
timing back to base timing and have not finalized it for final ignition. The
car starts, runs and drives down the road, but due to the gummed up carb, old
points and base timing, it only runs at about 30% of capable performance. To
bring it back to proper driving excitement means only a small amount of light
work. Included in the sale is a new set of points and a nice set of Bavarian
Autosport Wires. The 2nd owner installed
a brand new ANSA exhaust system; with a 2002Tii exhaust manifold. He also installed new brakes front
and rear with cross drilled rotors and new brake hoses. In addition he installed
factory rebuilt front brake calipers. Included in the sale, is a set of rear
drum pads (one side only) and a set of front caliper pads (one side only). The
only part of the drivetrain that is original is rear differential. (It is still working fine, however an
additional differential is included in the sale.) In addition I will give
another spare steering box with the sale. The ’02 is mounted on a set of performance
Sumitomo 195/60-13 with BBS style OE equipment 320is wheels 13x6. (Currently,
June 2014, the tires are cracking pretty significantly and should be replaced.)
EXTERIOR: The front grilles are later '02
model plastic grilles, which he installed. Headlights are Hella H-4 element
style. The rear bumper is a '71 '02 short sided bumper. Rear trim and taillight
rims painted black. He installed a new front windshield and replaced all the other
glass. He also installed pressure sensitive adhesive backed black moulding to
replace the waist moulding. All side marker lights and reflectors were removed
and holes were filled to simulate the look of the older 2002. I have since
painted the front grills, kidney grills, rear light surrounds and trim. The
original owner removed the front bumper and I have since installed a front
valance from Bavarian Autosport. INTERIOR: The 2nd owner Installed
new black carpeting and all the original black interior panels which are in Very
Good/Excellent condition. He also installed original equipment BMW Recaro seats
from an ‘83 320is. They are in fantastic condition and mounted onto the 2002
seat tracks. The rear seat (both parts) are still in very good condition with
the original horsehair padding. Headliner is solid with no rips along with the sun
visors. The dash pad is a one piece unit from a 74 ‘02. It has a few small to
medium sized cracks. The original ‘bus’ steering wheel is still in excellent
condition with a leather cover. The
original analog radio is gone, but I’ve installed a newer cd player with
axillary port. I have also installed two rear speakers for music enjoyment,
nothing serious or obnoxious. BODY CONDITION: The major 2002 issues have been addressed. As stated above, Rear strut tower decay/rust/rot is NOT an issue on this example AT ALL. As seen in the photos, the rear strut towers are close to Factory NEW. The spare tire well has some very minor surface rust in spots but is absolutely solid (as seen in photos). The body is straight. The front directional areas are solid. Rocker panels are good. Wheel arches are good. Rear suspension mounts are good. Wheel wells are solid. Floors are solid, with some surface rust, but completely structurally sound. The biggest area of concern is the driver’s door; with some small rust holes coming through at the bottom and some sheet metal waves and imperfections (as seen in photos). A few years back I spent many hours applying Eastwood’s Rust Encapsulator to the undercarriage of the car (general tlc and a fun way to get to know the car) For my huge collection of additional photos, please visit my photobucket account ... http://s230.photobucket.com/user/autopulse/library/#/user/autopulse/library/1973%202002?sort=3&page=1&_suid=140250117920905851625003729951 For a short video of the 2002 running at idle with some throttle play, please visit my youtube account ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOKkNcoyKt8 All ISSUES that could
be of any concern: -As stated above, the timing is currently set at base; and
requires adjustment for completion. -The carburetor is gummed up a bit and could use a rebuild
or at least a cleaning. -The points are a few years old and should be replaced soon.
(new points kit come with sale) -The oil dip stick sleeve which was originally pressed into
the block, has come loose over the years and leaks oil at a Very Very slow
rate. (of no real concern, but should be addressed) -The front left frame rail has metal welded to strengthen it;
which fyi does not affect drivability at all. (see photos) -Motor mounts and Tranny mounts are in need of replacement
(A new set of mounts comes with the sale of the car) -There is some minor rust which came through on the driver
door bottom, and sheet metal imperfections/creases. (see photos) -Both doors have very minor sagging and could use
adjustment. -Some of the rubber and cloth window seals are getting old.
(see photos) -Passenger window has trouble cranking up due to falling out
of track occasionally. -There are some dash cracks. (see photos) -Driver’s interior door card has some snapped off fasteners,
which are easily replaced (see photos) -Paint is good with some flaws i.e. various chips, clear
fade and other minor issues. (see photos) -Bottom of Rear sub-frame has some rust, which does not
affect drivability, but should be addressed (see photos) -Speedo is non-functioning -Shifter has movement due to worn linkage collar -Non original sunroof If any of these
issues bother you, please do not bid on this car! This is not a stock automobile. If
you are looking for a 2002 for investment quality, this car is NOT for you. It
was put back together from parts of various year 2002’s to be driven on the
street. The 2nd owner had put only about 3000 miles since the
reassembly 14 years ago; and I have put an additional 2500 miles on it. It
corners incredibly well due to the stiff suspension. It rides surprising smooth
too, not as harsh as you would think. This car would make a great auto crosser or vintage
racer, as it is already prepped to do so. It is also a fine street driver. It
has been garaged the majority of its life with adult care and attention to
preservation. I personally have an Associate’s degree in Automotive Technology,
and currently I’m going back to school for Transportation Design. The previous
(2nd owner) has owned/worked on 2002’s since 1974 and had owned 22
of them! Between the Original owner, the 2nd
owner and myself; the 2002 has been looked after and maintained properly with a
focus on the legend of BMW’s sporting heritage and the enjoyment of drive. . $500 non-refundable deposit is required at end of the auction from the serious bidder. Anyone who is serious about purchasing this car should send me an email through Ebay. I will then send you my phone number and we can discuss the car, any questions and your intent on purchasing this vehicle. I have the right to cancel any bids over the reserve price from Ebay members with less than 5 positive feedbacks unless we have been in contact.
Due to the '02 not having current inspection, Please bring a trailer or dolley Thanks for reading up on my 1973 “roundie” 2002.. Don’t miss out to own the Grandfather BMW’s
sporting sedan pedigree! Cheers |

Upcoming new BMW X6 leaks out ahead of full reveal
Thu, 05 Jun 2014The X5 may have been the first BMW crossover on the market when it arrived in 2000, opening the door to more high-riding Bavarians to follow, but it's been replaced twice over now. The X3 is on its second generation, and with the X1 having been introduced in 2009 and the X4 soon to hit showrooms, that makes the X6 - introduced in 2008 - the oldest crossover in the BMW lineup. But it won't be for much longer.
Soon BMW will reveal the all-new X6, based on the latest X5 but with that tell-tale slanted roofline. But before it gets the chance, a handful of images have leaked their way all over the Internet to give us an advance look at what to expect.
The overall shape of the new X6 comes across as familiar, if a bit less of an awkward take on the vehicle that (for better or worse) launched the crossover coupe segment. Up front the twin kidney grilles and headlights are larger, in keeping with the latest BMW design language, and the bumper less horizontal and more dynamic. Towards the back there's a sharp crease above the wheel arch blending into the more rakishly shaped tail lights, while the metallic vent behind the front wheel arch lends the flank an even sportier appearance.
BMW i8 with 500+ horsepower in the cards?
Wed, 22 Oct 2014While BMW makes plenty of machinery to keep enthusiasts interested, its most enticing models are often based on more ordinary ones. That's what made the arrival of the i8 so captivating, emerging as the first stand-alone BMW sports coupe since the M1. But if its dual purpose - trying its best to both embrace the earth and traverse it rapidly - somehow left you disappointed, the next development could prove to fix that.
According to Automobile, BMW is working on a more potent i8S model. The hardcore version of the hybrid sports car would offer more power and a stiffened chassis to make it that much more aggressive. The Bavarian automaker is reportedly still evaluating two potential powertrain options: The first would pair a 2.0-liter twin-turbo four-cylinder good for 320 horsepower to an electric motor with another 204 hp. The second would use a 3.0-liter straight six with 480 hp and an electric motor with 109 hp. Both would be mated to a nine-speed dual-clutch transmission and an integrated starter motor packing an extra 27 hp.
Either way, we'd be looking at a combined output well in excess of 500 horsepower - far more than the existing i8's 228-hp turbo three and 129-hp electric motor - dropping the 0-62 time down from 4.1 seconds to an estimated 3.5. Couple that to a more advanced carbon chassis, wider tires and other goodies, and the i8 would be transformed into a far more capable performance machine than it already is.
Car and Driver lists 10Best for 2013, same as it ever was
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Forgive us for having the distinct feeling of déjà vu, but it certainly feels like we've been here before. By that we are referring Car and Driver and the announcement of its annual 10Best vehicles for 2013. To be sure, it's an impressive selection of cars that combine heart-pounding performance and frugal sensibilities, but it also represents something of a broken record on the part of C/D. We're not so sure that's a flaw, though, as the resulting list is tough to argue with.
Vehicles like the Ford Mustang, Porsche Boxster, and BMW 3 Series have maintained their high-horsepower spots on this list for several years now. Even on the more practical and nimble end, the Honda Accord, Honda Fit and Mazda Miata have not budged. These continued spots are even in light of redesigns for some vehicles such as the Accord, Boxster and 3 Series.
In fact, the only newcomer to the 10Best list this year are the Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ twins, which knocked out the Cadillac CTS-V. We think it would have been a huge misstep to have excluded the FR-S/BRZ, even in light of the supercharged Caddy's lamentable departure from 10Best.
