1970 BMW 2002 M2

Coupling the handling and low weight of the 2002 with the high revving S14 power plant from the legendary E30 M3, the "M2" is the enthusiast's dream car!  I have been driving and sorting this car out for the last few months and feel it is a particularly nice example.  It is an absolute blast to drive!  The car is a 1970 base model 2002 that has been heavily modified to compliment the upgraded power plant.  The engine comes from a 1990 E30 M3 with 88k miles on it at the time of the install.  It has been driven ~600 miles since completion.  It handles like a go kart and is ready for your favorite canyon, track day, autox, or just driving to the coffee shop in style!

The odometer does not work, it stopped working at 49828 km. I have the new gears to fix it and will include them.

There are some very minor cracks in the dash, which could easily be filled

Hazard switch is worn and only works intermittently (turn signals work just fine)

Aftermarket steering wheel horn button is not wired up (I have and will include the aftermarket plunger to make it work)

There is some very minor oil seepage from a couple seals on the engine. It wasn't bad enough to cause me to want to fix it, but I wanted to point it out.

Stereo install is not complete and the head unit still needs to be wired up

It has limited sound deadening and the exhaust is loud.  It would be easy to add more if you want more daily driver and less hot rod.

Tires are really made for autox or track days and should probably be replaced to minimize wear during daily street driving

Every time you drive people will wave to you and want to talk about your car.


I have done my best to document all of its features and anything I feel still needs to be addressed, but feel free to contact me with questions.  To the best of my knowledge and ability to inspect the car (I have spent quite a bit of time underneath it!) it is 100% rust free.  I have all of the documentation for this car including that of the previous owner for a full history.

Mercedes fights off late BMW surge to claim 2013 luxury sales crown

Sat, 04 Jan 2014

The king is dead - long live the king. Mercedes-Benz is now your new US sales champion in the fiercely competitive luxury market, deposing the champ BMW, which has enjoyed annual supremacy for the past two years.
Thanks in no small part to the dynamite launch of the new, affordable CLA-Class, not to mention a redesigned E-Class and hot-selling S-Class, Mercedes moved 33,007 units in December alone, while sales in 2013 were up 14 percent, to 312,534. BMW, meanwhile, managed to sell 309,280 units in 2013. It was far from a sure thing for the Stuttgart-based brand, though, as BMW managed to nearly halve its rival's sales lead heading into the last month of 2013.
"We saw record sales, flexed our muscles across the entire product line from top to bottom and brought the customer experience to an all-time high," said Steve Cannon, Mercedes USA's CEO. While we don't have individual figures, it seems at first blush that the CLA was really the car that pushed Mercedes over the top.

Alpina introduces new B5 Biturbo with 600 horsepower

Mon, Nov 23 2015

If the BMW M5 is not enough for you, Alpina created the new B5 Biturbo. Where the factory M5 packs 560 horsepower, the B5 has 600. But even more impressive is the B5 Biturbo bests the M5's 500 pound-feet of torque with 590 of its own. That beats the 15-hp boost from the M5's Competition Package and matches the power of the limited 30 Yahre edition - but with more torque. All that muscle and twist is produced by Alpina's own version of BMW's 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission instead of a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The result is a 0-62 time quoted at 4.2 seconds, besting the M5 by a tenth. The top speed is also unlocked from 155 miles per hour to 204 – which may be entirely hypothetical for most of us, but could make all the difference for those who regularly commute along the Autobahn. Of course Alpina didn't tinker with the engine and leave it at that. It also customized the suspension, rolling stock, aero kit, and interior, and fitted a mechanical limited-slip differential built by Drexler Motor Sport. But perhaps the best part of all is that the Alpina B5 is also available as a wagon. That makes this modified Bimmer one of the best have-your-cake/eat-it-too propositions we could ever ask for.

BMW wants world drifting record back in US

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

BMW just can't stand the thought of the world record for the longest drift winding up in the hands of someone else. The German automaker is set to take a crack at setting a new record by blowing the old one straight out of the water. A driver in China holds the current title after kicking a car sideways for a full 3.6 miles. Now, on May 11, BMW Performance Driving Instructor Johan Schwartz will attempt to pitch a BMW M5 sideways for some 40 miles as part of a stunt to raise funds for the BMW Pro-Am Charity.
We've had the distinct pleasure of riding with the instructors at the BMW facility in South Carolina, and we can tell you that if anyone can keep an M5 at full tilt for 40 miles, it's these guys. BMW has released a teaser video to drum up attention for the stunt. You can catch it below.
