My 1974 02 is getting a new B48…has this been documented??

That looks awesome in your engine bay.  It looks like you may have challenges fitting a radiator and the oil filter sits right where the steering box sits in the subframe.  No room for the brake booster, so I assume you will go without.  Looks like a super fun project.  Start a Blog so we can follow along.

Thank u so much brother :))

 

Oil filter just got relocated to the top so car can be serviced from the top instead the bottom :))

 

steering column will be rebuilt and redone and brakes is a whole other headache :))

 

but it will be a rare 2002 with about 330 hp on tap 

 

makes me smile just thinking of that

Back half will get a diff from 430 bmw…the original E21 could be rebuilt but I don’t want to take a chance. Also custom driveshaft will be made and they will reinforce the bottom of the car in general 

 

tranny will be a 6 speed that comes with the b48. It will be out of a new Supra :))

Great questions so far, and it looks like you've got a game plan. Very interested in this, but had not found much encouraging on how to handle the engine management/ECU controls. Keep us posted on the Motec program and functionality.

    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
