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's new i DC Fast Charger will give free juice to i3 drivers
Tue, Jul 29 2014From solar chargeports to the first SAE Combo Fast Charger, BMW is offering or promoting more charging options for the i3 than most people will know what to do with. This is not a bad thing. At the Plug-In 2014 conference happening in San Jose, CA this week, BMW announced a new i DC Fast Charging unit as well as the ChargeNow DC Fast program, which is similar in some ways to Nissan's No Charge To Charge. Let's start with the chargers. Smaller and much cheaper than other DC fast chargers, an i DC Fast Charger costs just $6,548 plus installation. Remember, it was a big deal in 2011 when Nissan's DC fast charger was less than $10,000. The i DC Fast Chargers use the SAE Combo connector, so will also work in EVs from Ford, VW and Chevy and other automakers, when available. They take 30 minutes to charge an empty i3 to 80 percent full. All a driver will need in order to use the charger is a ChargePoint (or ChargeNow) card. Most of the first units will likely end up at BMW i dealers across the US. In a separate announcement, the ChargeNow DC Fast program will allow BMW i3 drivers to get free charging until the end of 2015 at participating NRG eVgo Freedom Stations. The catch is that they need to use the ChargeNow card at least once by the end of 2014. eVgo is promising to install at least 100 compatible DC fast chargers in California by the end of next year, so this should be relatively easy in at least one of the 50 states. We will have more from San Jose soon. BMW Unveils BMW i DC Fast Chargers and ChargeNow DC Fast program at Plug-In 2014. BMW i DC Fast Chargers, developed in collaboration with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, are half the size of current DC Combo fast chargers, compatible with multiple electric vehicles and significantly more affordable. BMW i DC Fast Chargers run on the ChargePoint network giving BMW i3 drivers access with a ChargePoint or ChargeNow card. ChargeNow DC Fast enables BMW i3 drivers to charge at no cost, at participating NRG eVgo Freedom Stations equipped with DC Combo Fast Charging, through 2015. San Jose, CA/Woodcliff Lake, NJ – July 28, 2014... At Plug-In 2014, a conference dedicated to discussing key issues for the long-term success of electric vehicles, BMW of North America launched its BMW i DC Fast Chargers which can charge the BMW i3 all-electric vehicle's battery up to 80 percent in 30 minutes.
2014 BMW X5 configurator goes live
Sun, 28 Jul 2013BMW won't begin selling the 2014 X5 for another few months, but the German manufacturer has brought the third-generation SAV's configurator online, allowing interested customers to poke around and look at the X5's optional goodies.
Like the 3 Series, the X5 is available in a number of lines that load up extras automatically. There's also a do-it-yourself truck that allows owners to pick and choose if they're not enamored with the styling or trim of one of the dedicated packages. As usual, the options list is quite vast, regardless of which line is chosen. We were able to easily take the new, rear-drive X5 sDrive35i, which started at $52,800, and bring the total price up past $80,000.
The new X5 carries over its 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 from the current model, as well as BMW's excellent 3.0-liter, turbocharged inline-six. The X5 xDrive35d, with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel will also be available on the third-generation SUV, but won't hit dealers until early 2014. BMW is stepping outside of the X5's usual bounds, offering a dedicated rear-drive model, available with all the same trimmings as the xDrive vehicles. Head over to BMW's US consumer page and have a go.
BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage evokes classic 1970s Bimmer design
Fri, May 22 2015BMW enjoys taking advantage of the annual Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este as an opportunity to re-imagine some of company's vintage shapes in modern ways with concepts like the M1 Hommage, 328 Hommage, Concept 90 motorcycle, and even last year's Mini Superleggera. This year's event on the shores of Lake Como is no different, and the Bavarian brand is celebrating one of its great sports coupes from the 1970s with the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage. Bathed in a shade called Golf Yellow that perfectly evokes the era of the original, the Hommage's design seems to incorporate a few cues from the current 6 Series into the classic look of the 3.0 CSL. However, the front end is actually a little ungainly to our eyes due to the massive grille, and the fenders that fold up over the hood. The laser headlights are a great touch because their X-shaped centers are inspired by old racecars. The design improves significantly in profile and really starts to show the inspiration from the original 3.0 CSL. This concept has some beautiful rear haunches, and the big, creased fenders lead the eye to the massive rear wing. The back end also maintains much of the vintage design, including the roof spoiler, but the shape gets modern touches. So while the source of this inspiration was a bit angular, the lines have been gently curved for the Hommage. Of course, a CSL must be lightweight, as signified by the last letter in its name. Where the original uses aluminum and Plexiglas to shed pounds, the Hommage uses carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic parts throughout the body. The interior is also made from CFRP, and occupants sit in quilted racing buckets. An especially cool touch is the V-shaped cross-member at the back that evokes the look of a roll cage, while being a bit more artistic. The only indication that BMW is giving about the 3.0 CSL Hommage's powertrain is that it uses an inline six with eBoost, but as a concept the engine doesn't really matter, anyway. Get a good look at the whole design in the gallery above. BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage. Racing flair with a touch of class. Munich/Cernobbio. Amid the audacious design studies and automotive beauties from a bygone era gathered at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, the BMW Group presents its new BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage – and in the process makes a pretty formidable statement of its own. This model is the BMW Design Team's tribute to the 3.0 CSL, a timeless classic and iconic BMW Coupe from the 1970s.
