1972 Bmw 2002 Racing Dynamics Recaro Extensive Documentation Low Miles on 2040-cars

1972 BMW 2002 Racing Dynamics

 “Roundie”  E10

If ever there was an automotive trendsetter, BMW's 2002 was it.

This is the car that literally spawned the soon-to-be-popular Sport GT category and, in the end, was one of the main reasons that the Bavarian Motor Werks became the successful car company that it is today.

Speed Sports is proud to offer this ultra clean example of  a “Roundie” BMW 2002. This car with its extremely well documented history and great performance upgrades, I am sure will be very desirable and sought after.  It is rare to find a car of this caliber today.   We have a 4” thick folder of documents, original manuals, receipts and a logbook of everything done to this car.   Most of the work was done at a well-known local BMW shop Mike O’Hara.  The records date back to the mid-80’s and includes the last 2 owners. 

The car was purchased by the most recent owner with 54800 miles in 1991; the speedo was replaced 3 months later with a higher top speed speedo that had 27790 miles.  Doing the math, this means the car has 86k original miles.  Very, low miles for a 42-year-old car.  The Prior owner spent $$$ on its restoration and performance upgrades.  I could not think of a better built 2002 than this one, everything was done right.  All of the Racing Dynamic upgrades , the suspension, and engine upgrades really make this a great Sports Car.  The matching Racing Dynamics wheels, steering wheel, spoiler and shift knob are in excellent condition and give this car a great stance.  The suspension is all Bilstien performance shocks and springs, big sway bars make it handle like it is on rails.   We replaced the old Yokohama A-509 tires with more modern rubber, and it goes down the road straight and true.  The suspension is very comfortable and not too harsh.  The engine was redone in 1988 and upgraded, about 40k ago, it was a complete, fresh, blue printed rebuild.

It has Weber performance carburetors and performance exhaust with a cookie cutter exhaust tip.   The motor starts right up and runs very smooth, with no smoke or bad noise. 

We replaced some hoses on it, and gave it a full inspection as well as an oil change when we acquired the car.

I have put a couple hundred miles on this car running around town and it is a real hoot to drive.

The paint is very good looking, we had the front spoiler repainted, but the rest is how we got it.  It does not have any rust anywhere.  It is solid in all the bad areas that these car typically have. Floors, strut towers, rear shock mounts and all suspension points are perfect.  There are no surprises here.  The Paint is very glossy and has little marks or rock chips.

Again it has NO Rust what so ever!  

The interior has Recaro seats and newer carpet, door panels and rear parcel tray.  It is all in excellent condition.   It has had some nice trunk panels built to protect things from denting the inside of the trunk and finish it off cleanly.   Other non-stock upgrades are; Alpine stereo system and alarm and power door and trunk locks/release.

For whatever reason the car has been driven very little over the last 14 years. It was stored properly in a climate controlled shop and we made sure to take all the proper steps when we brought it back into regular use.

This car is strong enough to be daily driven, autocross or kept in any collection.

We have gone through this car extensively, and it is in excellent mechanical condition.  Runs very smooth and strong.  It has had a full tune up with distributor cap, rotor, wires, plugs, filters, alternator, thermostat and oil change.

 Every time I drive this car, I wish I could just keep it forever!
