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. |

BMW i8 pitted against M4 in sibling rivalry track battle
Wed, Jan 7 2015We recently watched Auto Bild challenge the BMW i8 against the M4 in a German drag race of decide the quicker of the inter-brand rivals. The hybrid took a commanding victory in that fight. However, Autocar now has a new battle for the two coupes. The siblings are together again on the Castle Combe Circuit to find out which of them offers the more enjoyable experience at the track. Unfortunately, we don't ever get a perfect point of comparison in the video because host Steve Sutcliffe never does a full lap in anger with either of them to set a time. Instead, he focuses more on how the BMWs feel behind the wheel. Sutcliffe also admits midway through the clip that the i8's electric motor is out of juice to power the front axle's electric motor. That only leaves the hybrid with its 228-horsepower and 236-pound-feet-of-torque turbocharged three-cylinder to spin the rear wheels. Still, Sutcliffe spends ample time explaining the benefits and downfalls of driving these coupes. See where his opinion falls between the M4 as the traditional German sports coupe and the i8 as the new-school hybrid in the video, above.
Confident new Cadillac marketing boss ready to take on Tesla, BMW
Thu, Jun 26 2014When there's a former BMW executive heading Cadillac's efforts to boost sales of its only plug-in, it's a pretty safe guess that the marketing emphasis won't be on environmental friendliness and tree-hugging tendencies. The General Motors luxury brand has appointed ex-Bimmer executive Uwe Ellinghaus to be its marketing chief late last year, and the German-born Ellinghaus is now saying that he's targeting potential customers of Tesla Motors, in addition to BMW, for potential growth in sales of the Cadillac ELR extended-range plug-in. Appointed to Cadillac's head of marketing last November, Ellinghaus recently told Advertising Age that GM needs to highlight the Cadillac's looks and performance. He complimented Tesla for putting more emphasis on those attributes in the Model S than on its lack of emissions or lack of refueling costs (but Tesla hasn't shied away from highlighting the EV's savings). Ellinghaus says that trying to gear advertising "for people who are tree-huggers and green-wash an entire brand" won't be successful. You don't say. So far, the ELR hasn't made much of a dent in US car sales. Through May, Cadillac, which spent about $280 million on all of its US marketing last year, sold 293 units, whereas Tesla had been approaching the 11,000-unit figure for the Model S. With that in mind, Cadillac may be working on a sportier version of the ELR, as spy shots of a test vehicle from May revealed larger brakes and wheels. You can read our First Drive impressions of the ELR here.
Defying Trump, major automakers finalize California emissions deal
Tue, Aug 18 2020WASHINGTON — The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and major automakers on Monday confirmed they had finalized binding agreements to cut vehicle emissions in the state, defying the Trump administration's push for weaker curbs on tailpipe pollution. The agreements with carmakers Ford Motor Co, Volkswagen AG, Honda Motor Co and BMW AG were first announced in July 2019 as voluntary measures prompting anger from U.S. President Donald Trump. A month later, the Justice Department opened an antitrust probe into the agreements. The government ended the investigation without action. The Trump administration in March finalized a rollback of U.S. vehicle emissions standards to require 1.5% annual increases in efficiency through 2026. That is far weaker than the 5% annual increases in the discarded rules adopted under President Barack Obama. The 50-page California agreements, which extend through 2026, are less onerous than the standards finalized by the Obama administration but tougher than the Trump administration standards. The automakers have also agreed to electric vehicle commitments. Volvo Cars, owned by China's Geely Holdings, said in March it planned to join the automakers agreeing to the California requirements. It has also finalized its agreement. The settlement agreements say California and automakers agreed to resolve "potential legal disputes concerning the authority of CARB" and other states that have adopted California's standards. In May, a group of 23 U.S. states led by California and some major cities, challenged the Trump vehicle emissions rule. Other major automakers like General Motors Co, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV and Toyota Motor Corp did not join the California agreement. Those companies also sided with the Trump administration in a separate lawsuit over whether the federal government can strip California of the right to set zero emission vehicle requirements. Ford said the "final agreement will reduce emissions in our vehicles at a more stringent rate, support and incentivize the production of electrified products, and create regulatory certainty." BMW said "by setting these long-term, predictable, and achievable standards, we have the regulatory certainty that is necessary for long-term planning that will not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but ultimately benefit consumers as well."Â
