This is the 6th 2002 I've owned and it has become my favorite! She's a '76 model refinished in fresh Malaga paint.
I built this little hot rod to be my weekend toy. I wanted to pay homage to vintage racers and think I pulled it off. I originally bought the car with a TON of reciepts including original invoice! She's fresh out of her restoration and I've put maybe 270 miles on her since.
BODY & INTERIOR
I've got a lot of time in her and I think it shows. I repaired all rust, which really wasn't much, including both sills, front floors and frame rails. (The spare tire well has a soft spot in it from slight rust - this is the ONLY rust left.) I removed the lower molding and WELDED each and every hole! I also removed the rear driving lights and front side reflectors. (Those were welded in as well.) I installed turbo flares (ABS plastic so they're not brittle) which is quite a job when you want to do it right!
The interior has new carpeting, new vintage racing seats with custom lower mounts, and refurbished door cards. I also threw in a new Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel. You'll notice I removed the center console which makes it look much more "purposeful" - the look reminds me of a Porsche 914/6 race car I fell in love with. I fitted the earlier round-style shift boot which required the fabrication of a mount on the transmission tunnel. The shift knob is the BMW wood knob.
I also installed an early rear bumper doing away with the "back porch-of-a-bumper" it had. For lighting I installed H4 headlamps which really throw the light and are a great improvement over stock lamps.
The front bumper was also removed and in it's place I installed CIBIE Oscar Driving Lamps - these are getting stupid hard to find and EXPENSIVE! The bracket I made for them can be slid out if wanted. (I did this in case I needed to slide the stock bumper back in for inspection.) The car also features the flat front turn signals which are equally scarce and NOT cheap.
The hood hold downs are old-school rubber latches - I did away with the hold down bar and mechanism.
The car sits on Minilite replicas in 15X7.5 size with 0 offset - the grip is out of hand for this light little dude! Tires are new 205/50/15.
SUSPENSION
The car is suspended on H&R Sport Springs dampened by KYB Gas-Adjusts. I also replaced the majority of steering gear under the car: New front control arms, new tie rods and center link, and new ball joints. I also installed urethane sway bar bushing which keep her darn flat when cornering!
BRAKES
The brakes are stock units with new pads and new front calipers. All four corners are served through Korman stainless steel brake lines with new fluid.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine is the tried and true M10 4cyl with a Weber 32/36 carb carrying a water choke. The air cleaner is a Pipercross foam cleaner. I installed a "sync link" on the carb which converts it from progressive to synchronous operation - both carb barrels open at the the same time giving it great grunt when you "get on it" in 3rd. The ODO indicates 62957 miles.
The engine is mounted on Ireland Engineering urethane engine mounts as well as IE urethane transmission mount. All smog stuff has been eliminated and I cleaned up a lot of the under-hood mess.
The transmission is the stock 4speed box that is as stout of a 4 speed box as one can find - It's filled with Red Line MTL. I installed a new slave cylinder as well.
The ignition features electronic ignitor in the distributor, 8mm Ireland Engineering plug wires, and a Crane ignition box. The radiator is from an e21 and was a kit from Bimmer Parts Co. The car runs cool as a cucumber even on the hottest of days!
I installed new OEM under-hood decals including a new VIN plaque I'm in the process of installing. (Makes the engine compartment look new!) You'll also find a Hella twin air horn under the hood as well. (Crazy loud!) The engine runs steady as a rock, idles very well and sounds great through it's "newer" OEM exhaust. The whole car was just painted last month in BMW Malaga which shows great with the gold wheels. No smoke on deccel or accel.
TO FINISH
I ran into some time constraints with this project and so the rear seating area is unfinished. I originally left this area unfinished to install a roll bar but could not source one at the time. I do have a rear seat for the car which was not installed at the time the photos were taken. The CIBIE Oscars are not hooked up but the car does have an OEM fog lamp switch in the console (NOT the "dummy" knob) which did operate some small Hellas that were originally on the car.

BMW working with Dainese to put airbags in motorcycle suits [w/video]
Fri, 19 Jul 2013Addressing the safety concerns of its customers, BMW Motorrad is co-developing a rider suit with Dainese to feature something that's much more common in automobiles: airbags.
Starting with Dainese's D-air Protect System, which is made up of inflatable protectors that deploy in 15 milliseconds, the two companies will integrate the technology into a BMW Motorrad brand, one-piece racing suit, the DoubleR RaceAir. Later a different, street-oriented airbag system that can be retrofitted to bikes will be offered to Beemer riders.
The DoubleR RaceAir is expected to be presented at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan in November, after all required crash testing has been completed.
BMW restores classic Mini as it revives production in Netherlands
Wed, 13 Nov 2013Mini will be kicking off production in the Netherlands, a country that hasn't built a Mini-badged machine since 1966. In honor of this event, BMW Group Classic, the team responsible for all the cars in the BMW Museum, as well as being a spare parts and restoration company in its own right, revived a classic 1959 Austin Seven. That particular car, number 983, was one of the first Minis to be built in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands' JJ Molenaar's Car Companies built 4,000 Austin Sevens and Morris Mini-Minors between 1959 and 1966, although we imagine Dutch Mini production will be much bigger when it starts up again in summer 2014. A five-person team from VDL Nedcar, the group handling production of new Minis, took to the job of restoring the diminutive British car from nose to tail.
The 34-horsepower engine and the transmission were both completely rebuilt, while the door panels were redone by hand. Help from the Mini community aided the VDL Nedcar team in finding authentic replicas or original parts where possible. All told, the new classic Mini is a striking example of what a good restoration can do to a car. The Seven was repainted in its original Farina Gray, adding to the car's sense of authenticity.
BMW 6 Series Convertible gets a little work done for 2015
Sat, 02 Aug 2014Truth be told, I've never really found the modern BMW 6 Series to be a particularly attractive car, in Coupe, Convertible, or sedan Gran Coupe forms. This current generation certainly looks a whole lot better than the Bangle-fied Six that came before it to my eyes, but on the whole, I find much of the car's design to be fussy and awkward. There's a new 6 Series on the way, scheduled to arrive sometime in 2017 or 2018, but to hold us over until then, BMW is freshening its current range, as evidenced by this convertible prototype our trusty spies recently caught testing.
Will the changes to the current 6 Series be an improvement? Perhaps. Up front, there are restyled headlamps and a new front bumper, and at the rear, BMW has redesigned the LED taillamps to bring them more in line with the rest of the company's offerings. Aside from those modest tweaks, we don't expect much more to change on the Big Six - the interior will likely carry over with some minor tweaks (or new colors), and it's possible the powertrains could be massaged gently for gains in either power, efficiency, or both.
Whether you think this new look is pretty or not, this freshened 6 Series will likely debut sometime next year, while BMW's engineers and designers craft the all-new version. See it from several angles in our gallery, above.
