After a month of getting the bugs out of the conversion, it is finally running right. Got a little agression out on a Maxima that tried to cut me off.

Anyway, the grin that I get from driving this car is worth all the "honey dos" to get more garage time from my wife and the kids. It was a great winter project. Thanks to Dave @ Aardvark, Paul N Matt @ Maximillian (Paul I'm getting you a cell phone...please keep in touch) for the million questions that I had.

I recommend this transplant to anyone. The project is very simple if you take it one step at a time. The whole thing was done in my one car garage with only two feet around the car to work with.

My brother has an S2000 I'm dying to challenge. How well do you think I'll do against him? I've driven his car when it hits VTec it seems like a turbo boost. The S14 power is more even through out the powerband.

Anybody in the NY area ready for a Sunday drive and BBQ? I'll try to put one get together soon.

Stop raining already so we can drive.

way to go with my dream project..(in order of becoming reality) M10 Turbo, M20, OR S14. How much did you pay for that S14? What do they go for nowadays? I have the time, space, skill, and maybe the funds for S14..I want all out drag racing performance so I guess I answered my own question..Turbo. You got a really nice setup though, wish I could go that route.

Welcome to M2 world. Ain't it grand?!

Your brother will probably blow your doors off in a drag race,

but since the S14 was built for the track where the party

rages above 3200 rpms, that's not what it's about. It'll be more

interesting to know how you do against him in the twisties.

What trans and diff did you mate up to your mill?

Be sure to send photos and specs to Nick Vyse to include

you in the M2 Gallery:

If anything should ever happen to my M3(GOD FORBID!), you know I will keep the motor and look for a suitable 02 to put it in.

Congrats and enjoy!

Oh, yes, join the M3SIG for info on your S14 motor.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
