This Auction is for a 1974 BMW 2002 Tii

THERE ARE NO Tii PARTS ANYWHERE ON THE CAR, (standard 2002 parts only)

This car is in awesome condition and has nothing to hide as you will see in the photos.  It is a California car that has not been on the road since 1994.  I have since been to the DMV and have paid all the back fees and penalties, giving this car a CLEAN TITLE AND CURRENT REGISTRATION.  The goal of this build was to make the "Modern man's Tii".  To fulfill this goal a M42 engine and 5 speed manual transmission was purchased.  The car started out as a almost complete car minus some interior parts. Every part of the car was strip off and boxed away leaving only a rolling shell.  From here the car was examined for rust which it had very little of and was all patched using BMW patch pieces for the parts that needed help.  Additionally all the belt trim holes, molding holes, reflector holes and bumper holes were welded shut.  Finally a custom TIG welded roll bar was installed in the car for increased body stiffness and safety for that possible track day.  Before being sent to the paint shop all body panels were removed from the car ( doors, hood, trunk lid, and sunroof).  Also the engine bay and trunk were both sandblasted to ensure a quality job would be performed in the difficult areas.  While the car was at the paint shop the Suspension was being modified to match the spirit of the car. 

The front suspension was completely disassembled.  The sub frame was reinforced at the common cracking spot located at the engine mount.  All suspension pieces were sandblasted then hand painted with POR 15 to ensure ultimate durability and a nice clean finish ( a hammer has no chance of removing this paint).  The sub-frame was re-installed with factory rubber bushings, none of that polyurethane crap that's too stiff and squeaky.  Also during the removal process all bolts from the entire car were sent to the platers to be cleaned and zinc plated for corrosion resistance and sex appeal.  The sub frame was re-assembled using these bolts.  The Front struts on the car were removed and front coilovers were installed in their place.  The coilovers feature a shortened strut, adjustable collar for ride height adjustment, Eibach 300lb springs, Bilstien heavy duty shocks and an extra degree of camber built into them.  The strut bearings are also attached to a fixed camber plate adding an additional half degree of camber.  The stock hubs were removed and factory E21 Hubs were installed in their place.  This installation allowed for the front big brake conversion to be installed and features 10 in vented rotors and four piston Volvo brakes .  Everything was assembled on shop floor and awaited its fresh new body.

The rear suspension has a similar story to the front in that all the components were removed, sandblasted and painted with POR 15.  Once removed the rear subframe was modified to allow for the adjustable camber and toe package to be installed.  This will allow the owner to take out some of the excess camber that results from lowering the rear of the car.  The rear of the car still lacks decent shocks and springs.  Also the rear differential is a stock 2002 open.  The brakes in the rear were also upgrade using the E21 10 inch backing plates and drums.  Finally everything was re-installed using the newly cleaned and plated bolts. 

The Tii engine from this car was removed and a 1993 M42 motor out of a 318i was purchased.  This motor produces more HP than the tii ( about 140 total) with the addition of electronic fuel injection instead of mechanical.  The Motor, 5 speed manual transmission, radiator, header pipe, computer and wiring harness have all been acquired and are included with the car.  The motor showed good leak down numbers, all under 5%,(very tight), although it has not been started yet.  All Tii brackets from the engine bay have been removed to allow for this engine. 

The current condition of the car is as you see it in the photos.  The car is a rolling shell with beautiful and smartly designed race suspension.  The car was set up to be the ultimate street car, show car, and fun Sunday track car when the occasion arose.  It is unfortunate that I will not be able to complete this car as many long hours and money have been invested.  I would love to complete the car but time and money have brought this build to a halt.  This would be a perfect build for someone with marginal skills.  The hard parts are done, and have been done well as can be seen.  If you have any questions about the car please feel free to ask.

Thanks Keve

Many stock parts found in the photos

The paint has one spot on the car that got eaten by the buffing wheel during color sanding and finishing.  About 100 dollars in damage.  I recommend the buyer fixes this when the car is finished as it will be very likely that the car will receive another scratch or two during the build process.  For photos of this spot please email me.

Shipping

I am willing to ship the car anywhere a buyer might like, although I would require that the buyer make all the arrangements.  I also recommend that the buyer if interested stop by and look at the car before purchasing if all possible.
