About this blog

BMW 2002 tii

US VIN 2781566

Manufactured on March 21st, 1974

Delivered on March 27th, 1974 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City

Original colour was Malaga, paint code 021

 

Well, I am back after about 15 years away from 2002 ownership.  I sold my last 2002tii in 2006.  I purchased this 1974 2002tii (VIN 2781566) in July 2021 after a long 11 hour drive from Elk Ridge, UT to Bend, OR.  The original color was Malaga, and will stay that way.  Prior owners had done most of the body work and I received it in the primer stage.  The original engine was replaced by BMW sometime back in the early 1980's based on the head stamping and the block VIN  reading "X            X".  That tii engine was pulled out some time back and stored.  It was replaced by a 1975 '02 engine, so the car was running when I bought it.

 

He has been appropriately named Conrad, after my Great Grandfather, who was born in Germany and immigrated to the US.

 

I have started tearing down the engine to assess it's condition and get it rebuilt.  I have also started sorting through all of the tubs of parts, to assess their condition and completeness.

 

Luckily, my last purchase was a 1983 320is.  I will be swapping in the 5-speed, 3.91 LSD and Recaro seats.

 

Much more to come!
