This is the 6th 2002 I've owned and it has become my favorite! She's a '76 model refinished in fresh Malaga paint.
I built this little hot rod to be my weekend toy. I wanted to pay homage to vintage racers and think I pulled it off. I originally bought the car with a TON of reciepts including original invoice! She's fresh out of her restoration and I've put maybe 270 miles on her since.
BODY & INTERIOR
I've got a lot of time in her and I think it shows. I repaired all rust, which really wasn't much, including both sills, front floors and frame rails. (The spare tire well has a soft spot in it from slight rust - this is the ONLY rust left.) I removed the lower molding and WELDED each and every hole! I also removed the rear driving lights and front side reflectors. (Those were welded in as well.) I installed turbo flares (ABS plastic so they're not brittle) which is quite a job when you want to do it right!
The interior has new carpeting, new vintage racing seats with custom lower mounts, and refurbished door cards. I also threw in a new Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel. You'll notice I removed the center console which makes it look much more "purposeful" - the look reminds me of a Porsche 914/6 race car I fell in love with. I fitted the earlier round-style shift boot which required the fabrication of a mount on the transmission tunnel. The shift knob is the BMW wood knob.
I also installed an early rear bumper doing away with the "back porch-of-a-bumper" it had. For lighting I installed H4 headlamps which really throw the light and are a great improvement over stock lamps.
The front bumper was also removed and in it's place I installed CIBIE Oscar Driving Lamps - these are getting stupid hard to find and EXPENSIVE! The bracket I made for them can be slid out if wanted. (I did this in case I needed to slide the stock bumper back in for inspection.) The car also features the flat front turn signals which are equally scarce and NOT cheap.
The hood hold downs are old-school rubber latches - I did away with the hold down bar and mechanism.
The car sits on Minilite replicas in 15X7.5 size with 0 offset - the grip is out of hand for this light little dude! Tires are new 205/50/15.
SUSPENSION
The car is suspended on H&R Sport Springs dampened by KYB Gas-Adjusts. I also replaced the majority of steering gear under the car: New front control arms, new tie rods and center link, and new ball joints. I also installed urethane sway bar bushing which keep her darn flat when cornering!
BRAKES
The brakes are stock units with new pads and new front calipers. All four corners are served through Korman stainless steel brake lines with new fluid.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine is the tried and true M10 4cyl with a Weber 32/36 carb carrying a water choke. The air cleaner is a Pipercross foam cleaner. I installed a "sync link" on the carb which converts it from progressive to synchronous operation - both carb barrels open at the the same time giving it great grunt when you "get on it" in 3rd. The ODO indicates 62957 miles.
The engine is mounted on Ireland Engineering urethane engine mounts as well as IE urethane transmission mount. All smog stuff has been eliminated and I cleaned up a lot of the under-hood mess.
The transmission is the stock 4speed box that is as stout of a 4 speed box as one can find - It's filled with Red Line MTL. I installed a new slave cylinder as well.
The ignition features electronic ignitor in the distributor, 8mm Ireland Engineering plug wires, and a Crane ignition box. The radiator is from an e21 and was a kit from Bimmer Parts Co. The car runs cool as a cucumber even on the hottest of days!
I installed new OEM under-hood decals including a new VIN plaque I'm in the process of installing. (Makes the engine compartment look new!) You'll also find a Hella twin air horn under the hood as well. (Crazy loud!) The engine runs steady as a rock, idles very well and sounds great through it's "newer" OEM exhaust. The whole car was just painted last month in BMW Malaga which shows great with the gold wheels. No smoke on deccel or accel.
TO FINISH
I ran into some time constraints with this project and so the rear seating area is unfinished. I originally left this area unfinished to install a roll bar but could not source one at the time. I do have a rear seat for the car which was not installed at the time the photos were taken. The CIBIE Oscars are not hooked up but the car does have an OEM fog lamp switch in the console (NOT the "dummy" knob) which did operate some small Hellas that were originally on the car.

BMW CS reinterpretation proves retro can be sexy [w/video]
Fri, 28 Mar 2014Designer David Obendorfer doesn't work for BMW, but perhaps the German automaker should give him a call. His CS Vintage Concept shows a singular ability to understand the brand's classic style and reinterpret it for today. He isn't some amateur, either. Obendorfer has an industrial design degree and has been penning the interiors and exteriors of yachts from the Officina Italiana Design for five years, which counts luxury shipbuilders like Riva and Sanlorenzo among its clients. His website shows a real passion and knack for modernizing '60s and '70s European cars, too.
Obendorfer prefers to reimagine classic automotive styles. "Retro cars are not copies of their predecessors or renovated specimens, rather they are carefully studied reconsiderations, strongly rooted in contemporary style," he tells Autoblog. For the CS Vintage Concept, he worked to update the looks of the seminal BMW 2000CS and its E9 chassis while placing them on a modern platform. Obendorfer's inspiration comes from his belief that the later CS models' design is partially responsible for defining BMW styling, with its shark-nose front and four round headlights.
The CS Vintage Concept's shape starts with a jutting hood and a quartet of LED headlights, but the whole design really comes together in profile. The Hofmeister Kink at the rear pillar with the BMW Roundel is a nice nod to the originals, yet the proportions still find the perfect fusion of classic and modern. The interior is minimalist, with a vast expanse of wood for the dashboard at first glance, but the latter opens to expose the car's infotainment system.
Hamann BMW M6 Mirror can now cash the checks its body writes
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Anyone remember the Hamann Mirror? Need a refresher? The Mirror is German tuning company Hamann's idea of a BMW M6. It was shown at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show as an M6 Gran Coupe, sporting a ridiculous paint job and some meaty, multi-spoke 21-inch wheels.
Consider this car the Mirror Mark 2. Based on the M6 Coupe, Hamann has applied a similar visual theme, using the same 21-inch wheels from 2013. Whereas the Gran Coupe rode around with a stock powertrain, though, there's been no such restraint with the two-door Mirror. A fine 620 horsepower is available from the 4.4-liter, biturbocharged V8, an increase of 60 horsepower. Torque is up as well, from 501 pound-feet to a whopping 560, meaning this M6 has speed to match its looks. Hamann claims the Mirror's newfound grunt allows it to hit 62 miles per hour faster than the standard M6 (we'd certainly hope so), although it won't mention a specific number.
The suspension, meanwhile, has been dropped 1.37 inches, or about a third of an inch lower than the Frankfurt Mirror. That drop is complemented by the Mirror's bodywork, including the exposed, carbon fiber hood and the flared fenders, which can now accommodate the enormous 305/25 rear rubber. Hamann has also paid some attention to the front and rear aerodynamics.
A closer look at the 2015 BMW M3 and M4
Fri, 17 Jan 2014It's fair to say we're going to miss the E92 BMW M3. Its high-revving V8, flame-styled looks and excellent driving character made it quite simply one of the best cars of the 2000s. Its replacements, the new M3 Sedan and M4 Coupe have a lot to live up to.
We still have a few months to wait until we can drive the new cars, but that doesn't mean we can't get excited in the meantime, learning everything we can. To find out, we sent west coast editor Michael Harley onto the Detroit Auto Show floor earlier this week to talk about the new M cars with BMW product manager Victor Leleu.
If you want a concise, but highly informative rundown of these new cars, look no further than this video. Leleu talks about the styling, weight savings and engines in a lot of detail, making this an interview M fans aren't going to want to miss. Scroll down for the full video.
