1971 BMW 2002 with M20 6 cylinder engine and Getrag 260 5-speed transmission & ecu.  The motor had a little over 100,000 miles at the time of the swap with 3,306.6 miles driven since the build.   All driveline, suspension, brakes, etc were either replaced or upgraded.   Specifics include:

1.  Fresh head and timing belt.

2.  New IE clutch kit and Ireland Engineering (IR) E30 short shift kit and IE windage tray.

3.  Guibo and custom driveshaft.

4.  Front and Rear Main seals.

5.  E28 Engine Mount and custom transmission mount.

6.  All gaskets and typical comprehensive tune-up items.

7.  Stitch welded engine bay and added body to frame reinforcement to compensate for the increased torque.  

8.  3.91 LSD rear differential from a 320 mated to all new CV joints and half-shafts using IE’s adaptor kit.  

9.  Custom fabricated new front and rear strut bars (the rear with a battery tray)

10. Custom headers leading into a complete custom 2.5” stainless steel exhaust.

11. H&R springs.

12. 15”x6” Panasport Minilites.

13. Bilstein sport shocks.

14.  Hankook tires.

15. Euro flush turn signals.

16. New strut top bearings and IE Negative Camber Plates.  

17. IE front vented big brake kit with Volvo calipers, tii master cylinder and rear drum cylinders and stainless steel lines.  

18. All bushings to polyurethane from IE

19. IE front and rear sway bars.

20. All new steering arms and bushings.

21. Since the Getrag 260 doesn’t have a mechanical speedo output,  a set of Haneline hot rod gauges are used getting RPM information from the ecu and

      speed/Odo information via GPS.   The gauges include fuel, water temp, oil pressure, and amp gauges that fit the look of the car well.

22. An IE fiberglass replica using hood pins for attachment replaces the stock hood.

23.  All of the door and side window gaskets have been replaced with new OEM gaskets that fit and perform well.  

24.  The chrome trim and window squeegees on both the inside and outside of both doors have been replaced.

25. New black carpet kit from Only02 along with a black stock rear bench seat.

26. New vintage Recaro recliners with Schroth 4-point harnesses.

27. New door cards are from Aardvarc and covered them with black material very similar to the Recaro fabric.

28. I also covered the stereo console and rear deck cover in the same fabric.  I opted to paint the roof of the car black instead of installing a new              

     headliner.

29. New Suede Sparco 350mm steering wheel.  

30. The dash was replaced with an used OEM dash with only one 1/4" crack where raised guage area drops down to passanger level.

31.  Also Included are the BMW owner’s handbook, the 2002 Workshop Manual and a Budge car cover.

Several items can either go with the car or I’ll sell separately including a new front air dam from IE, four Hankook slicks and four Fitipaldi alloy wheels. 

The exterior restoration was done by a paint and body man experienced with collector car restorations and has less than 400 miles since completion.  The car runs, sounds and looks awesome getting thumbs up every time I drive it.  It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.  I’ve had it stored under a car cover in an air conditioned/humidity controlled garage since I had it shipped in from California where it was built by Groma Race Fabrications.  It needs nothing mechanically and has absolutely no rust anywhere.  This is my fifth 2002 putting together all the features I’ve ever dreamed of with the first four.  I only wish I could enjoy it but health reasons necessitate the sale.

2015 BMW X3 arrives with tweaked styling, diesel option

Wed, 05 Feb 2014

The luxury crossover market has been a huge success for BMW, having sold over a million X3 models worldwide since the CUV first went on sale in 2003, not to mention all of the momentum its had with the larger X5. At the Chicago Auto Show, BMW is unveiling the refreshed 2015 X3, featuring an improved design, a new diesel engine option, and a rear-wheel drive variant.
The X3 is getting some handsome upgrades to the exterior. The twin, circular headlights now extend to touch the slightly widened, chrome kidney grille, to bring the styling in line with the 3 Series and 4 Series. (LED headlights are now optional, as well.) The front bumper gets reshaped brake cooling ducts, and the rear bumper gets a touch of additional metal trim at the bottom. BMW has also added standard LED turn signals in the side mirrors.
BMW has enhanced the interior with added chrome trim, high-gloss black trim around the center console, sliding covers for the cup holders and new interior upholstery designs. The X3 is also getting a major boost in optional technology - there's a new Parking Assistant, as well as an Active Driving Assistant with adaptive cruise control, Lane Departure Warning, Frontal Collision Warning, Pedestrian Warning, and City Collision Mitigation.

Trump calls Germans 'very bad,' vows to stop their car sales in US

Fri, May 26 2017

TAORMINA, Italy -Talks between President Trump and other leaders of the world's rich nations at the G7 summit on Friday were expected to be "robust" and "challenging" after he had lambasted NATO allies and condemned Germans as "very bad" for their trade policies. Trump's confrontational remarks in Brussels, on the eve of the two-day summit in the Mediterranean resort town of Taormina, cast a pall over a meeting at which America's partners had hoped to coax him into softening his stances on trade and climate change. According to German media reports, Trump condemned Germany as "very bad" for its trade policies in a meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, signaling he might take steps to limit sales of German cars in the United States. "The Germans are bad, very bad," he reportedly told Juncker. "Look at the millions of cars that they're selling in the USA. Horrible. We're gonna stop that." White House economic adviser Gary Cohn on Friday confirmed the reports. "He said they're very bad on trade, but he doesn't have a problem with Germany." Cohn said Trump had pointed out during the meeting that his father had German roots in order to underscore the message that he had nothing against the German people. Trump's spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump had "tremendous respect" for Germany and had only complained about unfair trade practices in the meeting. Juncker called the reports in Spiegel Online and Sueddeutsche Zeitung exaggerated. The reports translated "bad" with the German word "boese," which can also mean "evil," leading to confusion when English-language media translated the German reports back into English. "The record has to be set straight," Juncker said, noting that the translation issue had exaggerated the seriousness of what Trump had said. "It's not true that the president took an aggressive approach when it came to the German trade surplus." "He said, like others have, that (the United States) has a problem with the German surplus. So he was not aggressive at all," Juncker added. In January, Trump threatened to slap a 35 percent tax on German auto imports. "If you want to build cars in the world, then I wish you all the best. You can build cars for the United States, but for every car that comes to the USA, you will pay 35 percent tax," he said. "I would tell BMW that if you are building a factory in Mexico and plan to sell cars to the USA, without a 35 percent tax, then you can forget that." Last year, the U.S.
