“Bavauto” Headers Group Buy Round 2: Now with more headers…


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I just registered here to pass on information for a group buy that I'm running that has 2002 relevant parts.

I just want to start out by saying that I do not work for Bavauto or Tubular Automotive and I am in no way affiliated with either of those two companies. I just use “Bavauto” in the title because these are the same headers that Bavauto use to sell, and they are being made by the same company that previously made them for Bavauto. People know them as Bavauto headers so that’s just what I call them.

I also want to point out that this a non-profit venture on my behalf. I choose to run this group buy for free in my spare time in order to make these quality headers more easily and more cheaply available to the BMW community. So please be patient if I don't respond to your PM's immediately, I try my best to answer them the same day they were sent but sometimes things just don't work out that way.

Now onto the good stuff. After speaking with Tubular, I’ve got some details on some different header designs for other BMW models that will be available this time around. Here are the details:

Model: 2002

Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 2” integral mid-section

Price for 5+ sets: $460

Price for 10+ sets $440

Price for 5+ sets: $480

Price for 10+ sets: $460

No mid-section: subtract $20

2010photos053.jpg

Model: E30 318i (1984-86)

Details: 1 3/8” primaries, 2” collector into 1 7/8” mid-section with flanged connection

Price for 10+ sets: $560

Notes: Having a flange installed on the one mid-section pipe in order to have it bolt up to a stock cat-back exhaust will cost extra because the flange has to be ordered from BMW.

Price for 5+ sets: $590

Price for 10+ sets: $570

Tubular couldn’t find any pictures of this model. However I found these pictures online…

As with last time these prices are for uncoated headers and shipping is not included in the price. Headers can be ceramic coated for an extra fee. The price will depend on the number of sets that are being coated. If you're interested in having your headers coated assume that it will cost roughly $200.

It's also worth pointing out that the 5+ and 10+ prices apply for any combination of 4-cyl headers and any combination of 6-cyl headers. So say there's 5 people that want 2002 headers and 5 people who want 318i headers, the 10+ pricing will apply to both of those in that case.

If you're interested, please add your name to the list using the following format:

Name, Header Model, mid-section included/excluded (if applicable), coated/uncoated, # of sets (forum)

i.e. Bullet Ride, E30 325, mid-section included, coated, 1 set (2002FAQ)

As I said in the original post, I have no affiliation with Tubular Automotive, which is the company that makes the headers. I just know that they have the jigs sitting around from the headers they use to make for Bavauto so I decided to run a group buy for the BMW community, that way you guys can get your hands on a quality header, built in the USA, and for a decent price.

They do not have a jig for the E30 M40/M42 headers, just the M10 as far as I know.

    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,
