Bought My 1St 2002 - 1972 Verona
Hello everyone, I just bought my first BMW 2002. It's a 1972, Verona red, auto (converted to 4-speed). I've been interested in '02s for awhile now and was finally in a position to buy one. I was looking for something that needed work so I could fix things and make it my own. I also wanted to avoid as much body work/rust repair as possible. I think this one fits the bill nicely.
As far as I can tell, I am the 4th owner. This car started out in the Reno/Tahoe area, then moved to TN w/ the 2nd owner. The 3rd owner bought it and moved it to VA. Now that I have it, it resides in Dayton, OH (for now anyways, I'm in the Air Force so move around a lot).
As I mentioned, it used to be an automatic, but the PO swapped in an M10 & 4-speed from another donor '02. He also installed an LSD from an E21 320iS. Suspension was lowered via suspension techniques lowering springs w/ Koni shocks. When I purchased the car it came with a whole pile of extra parts including roundie taillights, grills, some megasquirt parts, a complete M10 from a tii, a (supposed) 5-speed trans, and other trim/interior pieces.
