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. |

Motorweek remembers the Bimmers that made us all fall in love
Sat, Dec 27 2014The enthusiast's tied-in-knots relationship with BMW makes the Bavarians one of those brands especially ripe for nostalgic flights. That's why as soon as we saw the opening shot of Motorweek's review of the 1986 BMW 325e and a 635Csi, we let out a long sigh and thought, "Ahhhhh, I remember those days..." The two red barons were the new entries for the year, the 325e offering a couple of extra doors for the first time, the 635CSi rounding up the powerplant's displacement compared to the 633CSi that preceded it. The inline six-cylinder in the current 335i sedan gets on with 300 horsepower; 28 years ago, the 325e made do with a 2.7-liter inline six offering 121 hp, taking 9.3 seconds to get to 60 miles per hour from a standstill. That's four seconds more than today. Those willing to pay $41,000 for the 635CSi got a 3.4-liter inline six with 182 hp, and Motorweek praised it as a "confident handling car that does feel big and clumsy at times." The more things change, you know... Check out the video for a reminder of how BMW got to be what it is, and to hear the most unusual use of the word "oriental" we've heard in a while.

Gus Van Sant casts the BMW i8 in soft light
Sun, 18 May 2014BMW has spent the better part of a century building its reputation with fossil-burning transportation, but now it's banking heavily on the success of its new i family of electric vehicles. In order to succeed, it will need to sell examples of the i3, but sell the idea with the i8. And in order to do so, it is going to need some out-of-the-box promotional thinking. And that's just what it seems to have done with this latest campaign of television commercials.
The series of three (or at least that's how many have been released thus far) ads wax more poetic than most of the car ads we've seen. But while they might skimp on the technical details, they don't skip over the talent. The videos are the work of Oscar-nominated director Gus Van Sant, the cinematic artist best known for films like Good Will Hunting, Milk and Finding Forrester.
Van Sant has also solicited the voices of Sam Hazeldine (Caleb from Resurrection), Sting's daughter Mickey Sumner (Sophie from Frances Ha) and Michael Pitt (Jimmy from Boardwalk Empire), but doesn't hide them behind the microphone in the recording studio. Instead they serve as the face of Bavaria's new hybrid sports car, and the results are rather stunning. See for yourself in the trio of videos below.
BMW reveals new X5 Security Plus in Moscow
Thu, 21 Aug 2014A major player in the Russian market, BMW is heading to the Moscow Motor Show this month with a slew of local debuts... most of which we've already seen. But among all the new models making the trek from Bavaria to Moscow will be the new X5 Security Plus.
In a new-model launch that will surprise exactly no one, BMW's latest armored vehicle upgrades the X5 with enhanced protection for oligarchs against Chechen rebels, AK47-touting gangsters and missiles randomly falling on Crimean highways. Now meeting the VR6 standard of ballistic protection, the new X5 Security Plus incorporates reinforced bodywork, seats and joints, along with bulletproof glass.
Of course all that reinforcement (not to mention the jars of beluga caviar and bottles of Stoli in the glovebox) will come with a weight penalty, but the 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 ought to do the trick, driving 450 horsepower through BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system to get the vehicle's occupants out of a war zone in a hurry.
