Hi to all. I have no questions yet, just showing my project. I just bought this 2002 and as you can see I have more than a couple things to fix. And I started with water in the oil. That part is fixed now. It was the head heavily corroded. And since I have the engine half dismantled I decided to take out the oil pan and check the bearings. Of course, they're shot and the previous owner assembled one rod cap 180º wrong. I really don`t understand how that thing was running. I will be asking a lot of questions here so, talk to you soon!

Hi there!

CO2; we have a lot of 02 around here! Theyre pretty common. We probably have a couple in each junkyard but mostly destroyed. This one is a good starting point I think. The engine internals are all STD size so I think this little german was`nt much abused. Anyway the plan is to install a couple of those nice Strombergs or Weber, a descent ignition and improve brakes and suspension. The thing is, I been working with big american v8s and Im just starting with this little european thing so I really don`t know where to start or what do I need. For example: can I use the factory cylinder head to install those carbs or do I need another head? What about cam, valves and pistons?

Thanks for the welcome and for any tip!!!

    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
