I looked to verify the VIN but I guess my go to site doesn't go back that far?

Anyone know if this could comfortably be made into a 2.0L?  Update the crankshaft and get away from the 6 bolt flywheel?  Bigger valves too... the list keeps building...

 

 

why when you can just pick up a 2 litre?

Well, you would need a different crank, block, pistons and head... basically everything.

The 1500 engine has a 82mm bore and a 71mm stroke, small port head, etc.

BMW has produced over 3 millions cars using the M10 engine in all it's versions.

Using this very rare early M115 with it's original head for this kind of project doesn't sound like a good idea.

That's what I thought too, but what type of project would this engine be for?  Hopefully someone with an early 1500 sees this thread and response soon while the owner is focused on it.

I've been looking for an early 2.0L NK block, the one that I saw was already sold before I could respond.

 

Are you in Europe? I have a 66 tilux short block I could sell. PM me, but I'm not interested in sorting out shipping across the pond.

    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
