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.

Alex Zanardi back in the driver's seat with BMW

Tue, 21 Jan 2014

If there's ever been an inspirational story in the pantheon of motor racing history, surely it's that of Alessandro Zanardi. The Italian driver worked his way up the motor racing ladder, making it into Formula One and winning two CART championships for Chip Ganassi Racing back before the series re-merged into IndyCars. Tragedy struck in 2001 when he lost both his legs in a crash at the Lausitzring in Germany, but rather than accept his fate, Alex pushed on. Fitted with prosthetic limbs, he learned to drive a racing car with hand controls and got back in the driver's seat.
Zanardi drove for BMW in the European Touring Car Championship and then in the World Touring Car Championship that replaced it, landing on the podium several times despite his physical disadvantage. He left racing in 2009 to train for the Paralympics, winning two gold medals in London, but Alex apparently couldn't shake the racing bug. BMW modified one of its M3 DTM racers with hand controls for him to test later that year. And now he's returning to motor racing full time.
BMW has just announced that Zanardi will be driving a Z4 GT3 in the Blancpain Sprint Series, the successor to the FIA GT Series and short-distance counterpart to the Blancpain Endurance Series. The car has been modified with the hand controls the Bavarian automaker's racing department fitted to the aforementioned M3 DTM and will be fielded by the ROAL Motorsport team with which Alex challenged for the European Touring Car Championship last decade.

2014 BMW R NineT

Tue, 26 Aug 2014

BMW is taking a page from the Harley-Davidson playbook with its groundbreaking R NineT. A retro cafe racer with an urban hooligan twist, the bike is fully customizable from fork to exhaust. Of course, any motorcycle can be customized, but the fact that BMW has built its newest bike to encourage modification using parts that can be swapped with simple tools is a radical move for a motorcycle maker best known for its plug-and-play touring bikes.
To underscore exactly how radical, BMW has even partnered with custom heavy-hitter Roland Sands Design, which developed the initial concept for the bike and is now manufacturing a full line of parts and accessories for the R NineT, including radial valve covers ($950), retro racing saddles ($400-$420), radial gauge housing ($400) and a radial headlight bezel ($250), among other things, all of which can be swapped with a socket wrench or screwdriver instead of a hacksaw, wire cutters and TIG welder.
Alas, the bike I tested for two weeks was stock, so consider it a blank canvas.

BMW pays tribute with Z4 racing livery

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Whether it's from Martini or BMW, there's something that makes us a little weak in the knees when we see a racing livery of dark blue, light blue and red stripes over white. Like the one on this BMW racer that will compete at Sebring next weekend. Presented alongside its spiritual predecessor at Amelia Island this weekend, this BMW Z4 GTLM has been decked out in a throwback version of the Bavarian automaker's iconic color scheme. It's a tribute to the BMW 3.0 CSL that scored the marque's first victory at the legendary Floridian endurance race 40 years ago and even wears the same number 25. It's as good a reason as any to bring back a racing livery we love, but then we'd probably take just about any occasion to appreciate it anyway. 40 years after the first win in Sebring: BMW presents anniversary design of the BMW Z4 GTLM for the 12-hour race. Munich (DE), 14th March 2015. On 21st March, BMW Team RLL will contest the 63rd staging of the legendary 12-hour race of Sebring (US) in the US state of Florida. The endurance classic is also the second race of the 2015 United SportsCar Championship (USCC). BMW Motorsport and BMW of North America celebrate a special anniversary on their return to Sebring this season: 40 years ago, BMW Motorsport got its first Sebring victory, with the BMW 3.0 CSL. In honour of that success, the two BMW Z4 GTLMs of BMW Team RLL will sport special designs as they compete on the "Sebring International Raceway". Car number 25 will carry the colours of the winning BMW 3.0 CSL of 1975. At an unveiling ceremony, which was part of the "Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance" in northern Florida, BMW of North America presented the anniversary design of the vehicles to the public for the first time. Many of the successful heroes of that time took the opportunity to attend the presentation. Forty years after the historic victory, then winners Brian Redman (US), Sam Posey (US) and Hans-Joachim Stuck (DE) were reunited on Amelia Island. Jochen Neerpasch, the first managing director of BMW Motorsport GmbH, and BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt were also among the guests. They all had front row seats as current BMW Team RLL driver Bill Auberlen (US) completed the first presentation laps in the BMW Z4 GTLM with the anniversary design. 1975 was a significant year in the history of BMW in North America: BMW of North America was founded, and just a few days later came the historic first victory with the BMW 3.0 CSL in Sebring.
