1973 Bmw 2002. Full Restoration. 5 Speed, Dual Carbs, Coilovers on 2040-cars
Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, United States
|
With great hesitation I am moving forward with the sale of my 1973 BMW 2002. This has been a five year restoration process which involved complete disassembly of the car down to every nut, bolt, and component. The body was paint stripped to the metal. Minimal rust repair necessary which was accomplished with new metal. All chasis metal was acid washed and treated before painting. Painting was professionally done with OEM Glasurit paint in BMW Chamonix white. This was sprayed with an epoxy based paint for longenvity and protection. All suspension components were hot tanked, stripped, cleaned to bare metal, inspected for rust, and painted with epoxy chasis paint or powder coated. All brand new OEM BMW bushings were installed. Entire chasis was sound-proofed with FatMat adhesive sound insulation.
Motor was completely broken down, hot tanked, cleaned, bored over 0.50". Brand new Mahle high compression piano top pistons. Original rods re-bushed and balanced. Crank cleaned spec'd and polished. New bearing throughout. New BMW oil pump. Valve and timing cover powder coated. Brand new Ireland Engineering 4" aluminum crankshaft pulley. Ireland Engineering Aluminum radiator. Head rebuilt with new valve guides and seals, and valves. Brand New Schrick 292 cam installed with new Febi cam followers and high performance Schrick valve springs. Fuel delivered by Carter fuel pump mounted in the trunk feeding twin Dellorto DHLA 40 rebuilt carbs. Carbs mounted with a one piece Ireland Engineering manifold. Carbs have aluminum velocity stacks with mesh air filters. Brand new lighter, and stronger BMW 320 starter installed. New clutch, pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel. Performance ceramic coated header and exhaust down pipe mated to Ansa sport exhaust. 5 speed conversion: 3 series 5 speed transmission with approx 150K on transmission--works flawlessly. New mounts welded on chasis for 5 speed transmission (from Aardvark). Original driveshaft cut and shortened. Ireland Engineering 5 speed short shifter and shifter assembly. Original open diff still installed and working fine. Other Items: -OEM gas tank was cleaned, treated and powder coated. -Pedal box powder coated and reassembled with new bushings and components. -Front suspension converted to coil-over with Ground Control adjustable coilover kit. Struts shortened, Bilstein inserts. -Ireland Engineering adjustable camber plates. -Rear suspension set with Ireland stage II springs and Bilstein sport shocks. -Racetep rear brace/battery relocation kit for relocating battery to the trunk. -ENTIRE wiring harness (front and rear) replaced with brand new NOS OEM BMW harness. -Front headlights are NOS Euro style Hella. -Front turn signals are new OEM Euro flat style. -New OEM style carpet and headliner -New seatbelts up front. -New OEM BMW windshield (green tint). -New OEM BMW rubber used throughout (doors, windows, decklids, etc. -Front and rear bumpers are NOS original bumpers. Not re-chromed. Front bumper currently not mounted. -Red center Euro tail light lenses. Original unrestored parts/components: Original interior--not refurbished. This is why driver seat has a tear. Original dash, instrument cluster, Blaupunkt radio. Original trunk boards Original heater core and heater box rebuilt (completely disassembled, cleaned, painted, new foam etc). Huge PITA but worth it. Original rear and side glass (green tint). Original belt-line aluminum trim, door trim, and rocker trim. 2 sets of wheels. 1: BMW turbine 13" X 5.5 with Bridgestone Potenza rubber. 200 miles on the tires max. 2: Original Mahle 13X6 wheels with Front Hella 500 Yellow fogs lights. Fiam dual tone air horns. I am sure there is something I am missing. This project has been a blast. Have probably over 300 photos detailing the entire restoration process. I love the car and would keep it but other interests are brewing and I cannot afford to keep all the toys. If I continued this would certainly morph into a classic race series 2002. This car has about 1K of use since the rebuild. Everything works as it should. Nothing leaks. Gets tons of attention whereever I go and at Cars'N'coffee events. If you are looking for a GREAT example of a 2002 to daily drive this is it. Or you could take this further and turn it into a great classic racer. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. If purchasing: 500.00 dollar NON-refundable down payment via paypal within 48 hrs of the end of auction. Remainder of payment due 7 days after intial 48 hrs. Certified check or cash. NO WARRANTY. CAR IS SOLD AS-IS. Keep in mind this is not a new car and though restored is over 30 years old. I will do everything to represent this car honestly. Shipping or pick-up of the car is the responsibility of the buyer. I will try to assist any way possible. I have had cars shipped across the country. It is pretty straight forward. Thanks for looking! |

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra replacement spied in the snow
Mon, Jan 18 2016The new BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra will be the fruit of a marriage of convenience, born from the former's chassis and powertrain expertise and the latter's giant coffers full of money. The final product, spied testing in frigid temperatures in parts unknown, will have specific bodies depending on which brand it carries, so it won't be a simple rebadging exercise. This mule sports a softtop, rather than a retractable hardtop like the existing Z4. Whether this represents a final decision about what type of roof will be fitted to the production model is unclear. What we have heard, repeatedly, is that the chassis and the entire driveline will be pure BMW for both models, and that the main difference will be brand-specific sheetmetal. There are even rumors that an all-wheel-drive version will be available, or that the model will be available as a hybrid using Toyota's expertise in that arena. It's been a long wait since the memorandum of understanding that lead to the mule you see above was signed in 2012, and we had expected an announcement that the roadster would go into production by the end of 2015, but that time has come and gone. Perhaps we'll find out more at one of the upcoming auto shows. Geneva is coming up in March, after all.
2016 BMW X1 takes a more mainstream approach [w/video]
Tue, Sep 15 2015I really like the outgoing X1, simply because it's still an 'old' BMW. I say 'old' because all of the 'new' BMWs don't really feel that great to me – they just aren't the driver's cars they used to be. But the X1 still uses the rear-wheel-drive 1 Series architecture, and I love the way it drives. As for this new X1, it looks to be a vastly improved product in many key areas, but I worry that it, too, will suffer from the same sort of dulling that every other BMW has received. So it goes. Nevertheless, the new X1 should appeal to a broader range of luxury crossover shoppers. It ditches the cool, tall wagon shape of the old model in favor of a more traditional CUV shape. Think small X5. There's far more technology inside and out, passengers will enjoy an increase in spaciousness, and the X1 is more efficient than before, as well. Only one engine will be available in the US – BMW's 2.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-four-cylinder with 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. All-wheel drive is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission. While I'm not sure if this X1 will be as entertaining to drive as the outgoing model, the new car's improvements will surely help sales. That's especially important as small, luxury CUVs are hotter than ever. See the new car for yourself, live from Frankfurt, in the gallery above. The All-New BMW X1: - Greatest interior roominess and versatility in its class - Highest power with reduced emissions - Commanding presence, robust proportions, dynamic lines - Innovative connectivity and groundbreaking BMW EfficientDynamics technology unparalleled in the segment Woodcliff Lake, N.J. – EMBARGO: June 2, 2015 – 6:00pm EDT/3:00pm PDT... Today, BMW announced the all-new BMW X1 Sports Activity Vehicle. In its second generation, the new MY 2016 BMW X1 builds on the success of its predecessor (61,974 sold in the US to date) by incorporating a roomier interior, greater efficiency and technology on the forefront of innovation. The second generation takes to the stage with a body design typical of a BMW Sports Activity Vehicle. The BMW X1 xDrive28i will be the exclusive model in the US at launch featuring a 2.0-liter TwinTurbo 4-cylinder engine from BMW's new family of modular engines with maximum output of 228 horsepower, making the all new BMW X1 the most powerful entry model in the segment. It will be mounted to an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
