2002 shops

I recently purchased a 73 2002 (May 2012) that came with a spare engine. The PO admitted that he did not know the status of the spare. He also stated that the car had recently developed an engine knock that he believes to be rod bearings. I dis-assembled the spare block and determined that #2 piston had shattered and scored the cylinder wall pretty bad. I basically need someone to diagnose the engine knock and evaluate the spare block to see which would be best to repair. I would like to rebuild the numbers matching block at some point but wouldnt be opposed to dropping in the spare. I just want to be able to drive this sucker soon.. I have a very, very good mechanic that works on my other cars but wanted someone that knows 2002's.

Thanks,

(1973 Fjord Blue 037) Vin 2588314- Build date February 6th, 1973- delivered to Hoffman Motors NYC February 8th.

Mike is a really nice guy, his Dad had '02's back in the day. That's where I'd go.

The new car guys like Tom Hatum automotive, 1407 West 5th Avenue, Columbus, OH • 614-486-5277, I stopped in with the '02 a while back, he didn't seem very interested.

Your mileage may vary.

Good luck,

Tom

    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
