Complete Resto/mod Mechanically Including M-20 With New Paint & Interior on 2040-cars
Tallahassee, Florida, United States
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. |

Recharge Wrap-up: first Chevy Volt hits 200K miles, DriveNow launches in London with BMW i3 on deck
Mon, Dec 8 2014The first Chevrolet Volt has driven over 200,000 miles. According to the owner, Erick Belmer, the car, which he purchased on March 28, 2012, is "holding up flawlessly" with "no noticeable battery capacity loss." Belmer has a commute of about 220 miles per day, rotates his tires every 10,000 miles, and gets an oil change every 38,000 miles. Belmer still loves driving his "dream car" every day, and says it is "wonderfully engineered." Read more at Inside EVs. DriveNow has launched in London, and will include the BMW i3 as part of its carsharing fleet. Daimler shut down its Car2go operations there just six months ago. Currently, DriveNow members have access to the BMW 1 Series and Mini Countryman, but come spring of 2015, DriveNow, which is a joint venture between BMW and Sixt SE, will add 30 all-electric i3 EVs to its London service. DriveNow's rates for London are set at 39 pence per minute, with an hourly maximum cost of GBP20 (about 61 US cents and $31, respectively). The service currently operates in the boroughs of Islington, Haringey and Hackney, with hopes of expanded service in the near future. Read more at Hybrid Cars or at Reuters. FIA's Formula E electric racing championship series received the Autosport award for Pioneering and Innovation. The award ceremony was a black-tie event at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London. Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag accepted the award. "Many people in motorsport, when we started Formula E, didn't think we would make the first race," says Agag. "To announce we were doing a championship with cars that didn't then exist was a real challenge. But after that first race in Beijing, everything worked." Read more at Formula E's website. The Nissan Leaf has driven over a billion collective kilometers. That's more than 621.3 million miles. Nissan said in August that it expected to reach that mark by January, and it has done just that. To celebrate, Nissan Europe has created a video to thank its 147,000 Leaf drivers to bring the car to that substantial milestone in less than four years. Check out the video below.

Audi to spend $17 billion to fight BMW
Sat, 29 Dec 2012It's no secret that VW Group, parent company to not only Volkswagen but also Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati brands sold in the US, is determined to become the world's largest automaker. Even more impressive is that VW is prepared to spend billions to make it happen.
With that comes word that VW Group will be spending $17 billion on its Audi brand over the next three years to push itself above rival BMW. The money will be invested in both vehicle development (including lightweight auto design and alternative powertrains) and facilities (including expansion in Hungary, China and new operations in Mexico). The luxury brand is focused on global manufacturing infrastructure.
Already Europe's best-selling luxury brand, Audi's objective is to overtake BMW by the end of the decade by selling more than two million cars per year (BMW is shooting for 1.54 million sales in 2013). If those objectives are met, VW Group should be on track to be the industry's volume leader by 2018.
MW's new Driftmob video shows the M235i like you've never seen it before
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Last month, we went behind the scenes of the filming of BMW's new Driftmob, web video, bringing you one post from the practice sessions, and another from the shoot itself, which took place in an enormous traffic circle in Cape Town, South Africa. Today, BMW has launched the final version of Driftmob, and it's pretty damn cool.
The plot is pretty simple: just like a flashmob, in which people invade a location and perform choreographed dances to music, much to the delight of surprised onlookers, the "driftmob" features a quintet of red M235i coupes that take over a traffic circle and perform choreographed dances - sideways - to the delight of onlookers. The only differences are that, in this case, the onlookers are mostly paid extras (though there were many unwitting passersby that joined the crowd at times) and the only music is a constant squealing of tires-a sweet song if we ever heard one. Then, after about two minutes of tire-smoking shenanigans, the coupes vanish.
As promised, we will have a more detailed, behind the scenes story about the filming of the video, including insights from Rhys Millen, Samuel Hübinette, Dai Yoshihara, Rich Rutherford, and Conrad Grunewald, the five guys who executed these remarkable stunts. Meanwhile, we hope you enjoy the short flick.
