Price: $21900

Location: Raleigh, NC

Description:

Killed the original ad and relisting here with some updates, and a bargain basement price.  The current owner has some big changes going on in life, so this car is either going on to a new home shortly, or going into storage.  

 

1976 BMW 2002

 

Stunning, rust-free example, now available after a 4+ year comprehensive rebuild of the car body, suspension, and drivetrain.  All the right bits and goodies; 5-speed, LSD, Recaros, and fuel injection!

 

This 2002 was taken down to bare metal, all rust repaired, and completely resprayed in orange.  Every piece of hardware on the car has been replaced or re-coated.  Many new parts and upgrades installed as the car was re-assembled, most with receipts and paperwork to match.

 

In the engine bay:

Rebuilt M10 with windage tray, ARP head bolts, fuel injected with Megasquirt.  Ford EDIS coilpack set-up.  Carbon airbox, silicone intake hoses, custom adjustable throttle linkage.  Entire engine bay harness has been tidied and re-loomed.  Aluminum radiator, electric pusher fan, all new coolant hoses.  Blunttech headlight covers.  Top-End Performance shorty exhaust header.  Wideband 02 sensor added to downpipe.  Beautifully powdercoated intake manifold and valve cover assemblies.  

 

Underbody/Suspension:

Subframes and arms were blasted, then painted/powdercoated.  All new bushings, ball joints, steering and suspension components installed throughout with new hardware.  

 

Koni adjustable struts front, Bilstein's rear

IE Stage II lowering springs

IE Swaybars front/rear

New strut mounts, bearings, dust shields, bump stops

IE poly control arm bushings

IE poly radius rod bushings

IE solid rear subframe mounts

IE poly trailing arm bushings

New brake hardlines

SS brake hoses

Drilled front rotors

New brake pads

New drum shoes, wheel cylinders

New differential mount bushings

Rebuilt cv axles

Rebuilt steering gearbox

New tie rods, adjusting sleeves, drag link, etc

 

Other driveline details:

G245 5-speed conversion with TEP 5-speed x-brace, Blunttech DSSR shifter and all new bushings and hardware.  Transmission fully re-sealed.  Rebuilt driveshaft, connected to a Korman-built 3.91 LSD.  IE Stainless exhaust system.

 

Interior:

Recovered E21 Recaro seats in quality leather, perforated centers

Recovered rear bench seat in perforated black vinyl

New black carpet

New headliner

New sun visor pair with hardware

New REPA seatbelts and receivers

Recovered front door panel set (Aardvarc)

IE billet window and vent window cranks

Koogleworks long console with Glowshift gauges, USB and charging port

Leather-wrapped dashboard

Custom gauge panel set-up using a few different year gauges

Carbon fiber gauge panel overlay

Rebuilt pedal box

IE billet gas pedal

Recovered rear parcel shelf

New/recovered trunk boards

TEP rear brace with battery relocation

 

The leather-wrapped dash is, in my opinion, the only let down on the interior of the car.  Notoriously difficult to do, the dash has a few wrinkles and exposed folds, though is still far more attractive than the average cracked dashboard.  Lights all function, as does the heat and sliders for the HVAC.  

The fuel tank has been cleaned and painted/coated, and the correct fuel sending unit installed for the fuel level gauge to function properly.

 

Exterior/Body:

New stainless belt-line trim and hardware

New euro front turn signals

Side markers shaved front and rear

US license plate/light bracket holes shaved

Short euro rear bumper with license plate lights

New stainless rocker trim

Misc new trim/seals (B-pillar, door handle gaskets, etc)

Flawless front grille set with black center kidney

 

Misc

There are a few items that could be addressed to really make this car a show-worthy candidate.  

 

The paint work was extremely thorough, but the car has yet to be wet-sanded and polished.  A small section on the driver's upper door was done as a litmus test, and the result is as beautiful as expected.  The rest of the car needs the same treatment to have the luster and depth of shine that it deserves.  The rear bumper needs fiddling with for the sides to sit a bit more even/flush with the body.  Though most of the rubber on the exterior of the car are new, the rear pop-out window seals are not, and are showing their age.  The tachometer has not been wired to work with the Megasquirt.  All other gauges do function, as well as the additional gauges in the center console. The shifter console is loose currently, which causes some up/down slop in the shifter.  The Koogleworks console was left loose so as not to damage it until the bolt is addressed.  The shifter related parts all appear new, so it should just be adjusting/tightening up the hardware to resolve the issue.  There is an oil leak present coming from the back of the engine; likely the distributor housing, but needs to be tidied up and properly diagnosed.

 

Overall, this is an unbelievably straight, rust-free 2002 that could be used and enjoyed as-is.  The perfect candidate to personalize with a few touches like wheels, bumper/airdam, and any other small touches you see fit!  

 

This car is being sold on behalf of it's owner, with a clean North Carolina title, over $20k in receipts, and several totes full of new/used/spare parts.
