What is this 2002 front splitter part?

Recommended Posts

Hi guys. I have seen some photos of some old race 2002's and some of them have this spoiler like thing on the front splitter. I was wondering what this part is called so if I make a 2002 race car I can put it on to make it look better. I will post some photos of some 02's with and without the part so you can see what I am talking about

Thank you for the photos Tharazero1.  Lots of history lies within them.  Many messages. 

 

What a great way to start a day.

 

Please someone with more words explain what the spoiler/splitter is  :)

 

This should be entertaining.   Thank you.

When I was first introduced to that part it was called an 'air dam' primarily because it kept air from going under the car and creating lift. It had an additional function to. The holes allowed air to flow through flexible hoses to the calipers for cooling. 

 

Good Luck,

Air dam and splitter are two entirely different things.   There are no splitters in the pics.  There are tons of threads on air dam options for these cars. 

 

Ps....real race cars don't have things put on them to make them look better.  ;-)

    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
