Rebuilt E12 higher compression head with powder wrinkle coated cam cover. BMW Tii ignition system with improved spark. High voltage ignition wires, rebuilt steering box, and dual core radiator. Runs exceptional with good midrange torque.

-   Retains auxiliary fuel lines and mounts for conversion back to injection. No snorkel at engine bay.

-       Front and rear bumpers removed for weight savings (bumpers have a shortening kit for closer body fitment and are included). Custom light mounts utilizing front bumper locations with restored Cibie Oscar spot lamps. Hella H4 headlights with halogen bulbs and yellow protective film. Rear mounted back-up rally spot lamp on passenger side. Italian-spec flush turn signals and side reflector delete.

-       Power shut off mounted through the grill, built in battery charging unit mounted behind headlight, and twin Bosch horns.

-       Original OEM BMW Turbo Tail, Rally Armour Polyurethane Mud Flaps, and ‘74 correct gas lid with functioning lock and key.

-       Momo Prototipo steering wheel with genuine Alpina horn button. Schroth 4-pt Rallye harnesses in light blue. Autopower bolt in roll bar with removable cross brace all powder coated to match car. Rear seat frame/bolsters internally modified and reupholstered for minimally evasive bar fitment. Halon fire extinguisher mounted along cross brace. Rear lap belts removed though included with the sale.


All receipts and service records have been retained from this ownership period. All work carried out on this lovely 2002 is of the utmost workmanship, having been performed by BMW professionals or myself. All features on the car are in full working order. I have spent a lot of time and money making this a unique and special example of the mark that will not be mistaken for another 2002.


Only problem areas of mention are as follows: directional steering column unit internally cracked but functional, small paint bubble on drivers side rear fender arch and front fender beneath indicator, small patch of paint imperfection on passenger side door – photos available. Sunroof seal needs replacing and new seal is included with the sale. Car is extremely straight and dry throughout.


The car has clear title and is registered for road use as a 1973. Includes many parts and spares accumulated over my years of ownership. More photos available upon request. PPI inspections and personal viewings invited; car will not disappoint. Selling to make room for another vintage BMW.

2017 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive is an M7 by any other name

Mon, Feb 8 2016

Have you been waiting for BMW to release a more potent version of the new 7 Series? Try 600 horsepower on for size and forget all about the famous M badge. The new flagship performance sedan from Munich is the 2017 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive. Alpina is Bimmer's tuner of choice, and it designs customized features to integrate precisely with the factory build. The B7's 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is massaged to deliver a nice, round 600 horsepower, and a torque figure nearly as impressive at 590 pound-feet available from just 3,000 rpm. All that muscle is channeled through an eight-speed automatic to all four wheels (as you might have guessed from the new xDrive handle). The result is an Autobahn-blitzing 0-60 time quoted at just 3.6 seconds – 0.8 seconds quicker than its predecessor – and a top speed estimated at 193 miles per hour. Those would have been considered supercar figures not that long ago, but are delivered here in a luxury sedan as big as they come. They also stand up pretty well to the forced-induction eight-cylinder competition in the Audi S8 Plus, Jaguar XJR, Maserati Quattroporte GTS, and Mercedes-AMG S63. The Audi produces a bit more power but less torque, the Mercedes does the opposite, and the Jaguar and Maserati are left in the dust. Only the S8 Plus dares claim a quicker 0-60 time, and even then it's only said to be a tenth quicker. (The Mercedes-AMG S65 boasts much higher output from its V12, but without an all-wheel drive system capable of handling all its muscle, it's a fair bit slower off the line.) Keeping all that momentum under control is an air suspension with adaptive dampers, active roll bars, and four-wheel steering. It's all mounted to 20-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber and packing oversized brakes measuring 15.5 inches at the front (with four-piston fixed calipers) and 14.5 inches (with floating calipers) at the back. Of course it also benefits from all the advancements that the Bavarian automaker developed for the latest 7 Series, but takes things a step further with a specific aero kit and an interior decked out in even more upscale leather and trim. The finished product may not wear an M7 badge as so many have called for from BMW's flagship sedan series over the years. But the Alpina name carries a cachet all its own and has for the past 50 years now – which is a few years longer than BMW M GmbH has been around.

BMW patents strange three-cylinder pushrod engines, perhaps for cruiser motorcycle

Thu, Mar 12 2015

For decades BMW's motorcycles were easily identified by the two opposed cylinders sticking out of each side of the bike. While you can still find this layout on some of its products, these days the company also uses a variety of other layouts, depending on the model line. Based on European patents, there might even be a Bimmer in the ranks eventually with an absolutely bizarre-looking W3 configuration. BMW actually has two separate patents on these W3 designs, and both of them have the goal of cramming three cylinders into the space of a traditional V-twin. The first splays the cylinder out into a fan shape with pushrods operating the valves. The description submitted to the World Intellectual Property Organization describes the solution as, "The embodiment according to the invention represents an as of yet unknown type of W-3 reciprocating piston internal combustion engine having cylinder angles which can be largely freely sized." The other solution is more of a modification to the traditional V-twin. Two of the cylinders share a crankpin, but the third has its own and is positioned inside the angle of the V. It's a very odd-looking engine. With BMW's assertion that these designs are meant to fit in place of a traditional V-twin, Jalopnik speculates that they could be for a future cruiser from the company, and that would make sense. While brand offers a line of sport tourers with the K1600 line, it doesn't have something more classic to take on the likes of the Ducati Diavel. Creating such a weird engine would probably grab early interest from riders.

Behind the scenes of BMW's 'Driftmob' [w/videos]

Tue, 26 Aug 2014



All this, for one minute and 47 seconds of action-packed footage with no official plot.
We arrive in Cape Town, South Africa, on the third and final practice day for the drivers of a BMWStories internet video called The Epic Driftmob feat. BMW M235i. We are immediately whisked to a large, empty parking lot on the outskirts of Cape Town, where tires are squealing and chunks of rubber are flying as five red BMW M235i coupes churn up more smoke than a California wildfire. And the smell - it smells like heated metal, the kind of thing rev limiters are made for. Times five.
