1976 Bmw 2002 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Bedford, New Hampshire, United States
1976 Classic BMW 2002, last year for the car….This iconic car has been in our family since 1977. Virtually every receipt
since the car’s purchase is still on hand, along with the original owner’s
manual. Although a mechanical
restoration was started in 2002, it has not been completed. The chassis did
have rust in the typical spots, including the left rear wheel well. Utilizing
NOS factory parts, the entire wheel well was professional replaced. The floors
and the remainder of the chassis are nearly rust free. Drivetrain: When new,
this car was equipped with an automatic transmission. It has been converted to
a 5-speed transmission using a newly remanufactured Getrag from the Metric Mechanic. The pedal box and all related
components necessary for the conversion were purchased new from BMW and the
2002 Haus. Absolutely no expense was spared in this conversion, including two brand
new, complete drive axles from BMW. The 14” original BBS BMW wheels have never
seen the road; new and perfect, including the hub covers. Suspension: All corners
are now fitted with new Bilstein Sport struts coupled with new Eibach lowering
springs. The rear control arms were replaced with new ‘tii boxed’ units.
All components have been either epoxy painted or powder coated. All sway bars
are tubular and fully adjustable and, together with the performance suspension bushings,
were purchased from Dave Ireland Racing. The front sub frame was removed, media
blasted and repainted. The steering box
and idler arm were also rebuilt at that time. The front suspension features
adjustable camber using custom strut tower mounts. Camber and toe-in are also
adjustable in the rear suspension. The battery has been relocated to the truck
along with the obligatory strut tower brace. Engine: Zero miles
on a very comprehensive performance rebuild which includes: ·
Ported
and polish head with new valves and guides.
·
New
dual 40DCOM carbs with ported and polished manifold. New custom stainless steel
fuel lines were made exclusively for this car by the Stainless Steel Brake Corp
in Clarence, NY. A new high volume Carter pump has been mounted in the engine
bay in the old battery location.
·
Ignition
system that has been upgraded, but retains an original equipment ‘tii’ distributor
which was purchased new but has never been used. Rather than use points, it
sports a Pertronix magnetic pick-up driving a new MSD 6A-L. ·
New,
old stock Shrick 292 camshaft with new rockers and performance retainers.
·
New
ARP head studs and hardware.
·
New,
ceramic coated exhaust manifold completed with new, never installed complete Ansa
exhaust.
·
Pistons
are OE 10.5:1 “piano top” Mahle.
·
All
lower end components are new, including the oil pump and chain. Naturally, a
windage tray has been fitted. All
components have been precision balanced.
·
Engine
mounts are of the polyurethane variety. Brakes: ·
Front: All new OEM components including
wheel bearings. The calipers have been professionally rebuilt. Brake hoses have
been replaced with custom stainless steel lines.
·
Rear: Custom rear disc brake conversion
from Dave Ireland Racing. Chassis and Interior: Although the
engine, drivetrain and suspension are installed in the chassis, all the final
assembly/testing work remains to be completed. The engine has not been started
since the rebuild was completed several years ago. The interior is in pieces as
work was started but not completed with the installation of a new pedal box and
shifter housing to accommodate the 5-speed conversion. A VDO gauge kit was
purchased, but has not yet been installed (although the required
senders/sensors have). The dashboard is in perfect condition, without any cracks
or blemishes. The steering wheel has been replaced with a new, period-correct
MOMO wheel. Overview: This is a
project car that will require considerable work and patience to complete. Although
parts-wise, she is nearly complete, a fuel tank and driver’s seat will be
needed. The car is offered for sale ‘as-is, where is,’ with no warranty of
any sort. Fire away with questions, as I’ve been involved with this car for
nearly 40 years.

Behind the Scenes of BMW's 'Drift Mob,' Part 2 [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014After spending four days practicing about a dozen drift stunt moves in a parking lot for an upcoming BMW "Drift Mob" internet mini-film, Rhys Millen, Sam Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald are finally ready for show time. We are brought to the huge urban traffic circle to see the stunts performed midway through the day to observe for a couple of hours.
The undertaking is massive, with multiple cameras set up, scores of crew members, a helicopter filming from above, a rigged pickup for car-to-car shots, sidewalks lined with security and plenty of curious onlookers, and oh, yeah, a major intersection of a top world city shut down for an entire weekend.
The five drifting legends are nestled in their identical red BMW M235i coupes, which have been modified with special handbrakes but essentially nothing else you can't get on a stock version, and are listening to direction from director Mic Rodgers and stunt coordinator Riley Harper. We're basically given free rein of the set, to shoot the cars, the drivers, and at one point, even hopping in with Yoshihara for one of the admittedly more tame stunts. Even then, the g-forces are so severe that they flip our cameraphone's video recording from landscape mode to portrait. Yes, this is a pretty cool day to be reporting on cars, and as we said during our first installment of our behind the scenes coverage of Drift Mob, we're honored to be the only US media outlet here to tell the tale.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
BMW recalls diesel X5 models over fuel filter heater
Mon, 19 Aug 2013
BMW has announced that it is recalling 1,540 examples of its 2009 and 2010 X5 xDrive35d crossovers produced between June 13, 2009 and November 9, 2009.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the model's fuel filter heater, which warms up the diesel fuel at low outside temperatures, can experience an electrical overload condition that may cause it to become permanently activated. This means the fuel filter heater could remain activated even when the ignition is off, which could lead to a dead battery. It could also lead to overheating, possibly resulting in a fire.
