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! |

Alpina D3 may be coming to Frankfurt with 350 hp, AWD
Wed, 14 Aug 2013Rumors are swirling that Alpina, the tuning house that specializes in all things BMW, will followup its Geneva debut of the B3 Bi-Turbo with an oil-burning variant slated for debut at September's Frankfurt Motor Show. The news comes from Auto Zeitung, which reports that the second-generation D3 will be based off the Europe-only 335d.
This is a departure from the last D3, which had the four-cylinder turbo-diesel from the BMW 123d in a 3 Series body. The new model is expected to use a 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six, which will generate 350 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. That should scoot it to 62 miles per hour in under five seconds (likely while towing a tree stump). Both rear- and all-wheel drive should be available on the D3, and we imagine the thrill of this much power channeled through just the two rear wheels to be akin to skydiving sans parachute.
For our European friends that want an Alpina D3, but don't need more torque than any American full-size pickup, there may be plans to offer a four-cylinder variant that still delivers Alpina performance without a compromise in economy. We'll have more on the Alpina D3 when it debuts at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show.
2015 BMW X4 is a budget X6
Wed, 16 Apr 2014We won't argue that crossovers are hugely successful vehicles, with automakers working to provide functional CUVs in a wide range of sizes. But over at BMW, things are just getting out of hand, as evidenced by this new X4 "Sports Activity Coupe" that debuts here at the 2014 New York Auto Show.
BMW is seeing fit to offer vehicles in even the most niche of niches, and the X4 is no exception. Want proof? Have a look at the X4, and the compare it to the X3, the 3 Series Gran Turismo, the 3 Series Sport Wagon, and the 4 Series Gran Coupe. Aside from marginal differences in things like ground clearance and the exact slope of the hatchback, what, exactly, is the difference?
Like the other models we just mentioned, the X4 is powered by either a 2.0-liter turbo-four with 240 horsepower or a more powerful, 3.0-liter turbo-six with 300 horsepower, and unsurprisingly, power is sent to the ground exclusively via the company's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. An eight-speed automatic transmission is the sole gearbox available with either engine. All sounds very familiar, right?
