1970 BMW 2002 M2 Coupling the handling and low weight of the 2002 with the high revving S14 power plant from the legendary E30 M3, the "M2" is the enthusiast's dream car! I have been driving and sorting this car out for the last few months and feel it is a particularly nice example. It is an absolute blast to drive! The car is a 1970 base model 2002 that has been heavily modified to compliment the upgraded power plant. The engine comes from a 1990 E30 M3 with 88k miles on it at the time of the install. It has been driven ~600 miles since completion. It handles like a go kart and is ready for your favorite canyon, track day, autox, or just driving to the coffee shop in style! Engine and Exhaust: 2.3L S14 from 1990 E30 M3 (88k miles at time of install) Turner Motorsports Chip EVO Exhaust Cam Gear Oil Windage Tray Remote Oil Filter Earl's Oil Cooler with Braided Lines MSD Ignition with Magnecore Wires Curt Ingraham Custom Radiator and Overflow Tank Custom 2.5" Full Stainless Steel exhaust with Sebring Resonator and Muffler Transmission and Driveline: Getrag 245/10 Close Ratio (Dogleg) 5 Speed Transmission Short Shift Kit Sachs Heavy Duty Clutch JB Racing 8 lb.

I have the new gears to fix it and will include them. There are some very minor cracks in the dash, which could easily be filled Hazard switch is worn and only works intermittently (turn signals work just fine) Aftermarket steering wheel horn button is not wired up (I have and will include the aftermarket plunger to make it work) There is some very minor oil seepage from a couple seals on the engine. It wasn't bad enough to cause me to want to fix it, but I wanted to point it out. Stereo install is not complete and the head unit still needs to be wired up It has limited sound deadening and the exhaust is loud. It would be easy to add more if you want more daily driver and less hot rod. Tires are really made for autox or track days and should probably be replaced to minimize wear during daily street driving Every time you drive people will wave to you and want to talk about your car. I have done my best to document all of its features and anything I feel still needs to be addressed, but feel free to contact me with questions. To the best of my knowledge and ability to inspect the car (I have spent quite a bit of time underneath it!) it is 100% rust free. I have all of the documentation for this car including that of the previous owner for a full history.

Meet the inventor of the BMW 3 Series wagon
Sat, 11 May 2013It's hard to imagine, but once upon a time, there were only two BMW 3 Series variants: the coupe and sedan. Back before gran coupes, convertibles and yes, even touring models were available, buyers could only get their 3 Series fix if it came with two or four doors and a fixed roof. Back in the mid '80s, BMW engineer Max Reisbock was having some trouble fitting his whole family into his four door. Rather than suck it up and buy a van, he picked up a wrecked 3 Series and got to cutting in a buddy's garage. Months later, he had the very first 3 Series Touring ever built.
At first, he kept the the car to himself, using it to haul friends and family around, but he eventually showed it off to his friends at work. When the BMW executives found out about his project, they called him up to take a closer look. After putting an eyeball on the car, they took it, copied his design, made a few tweaks and quickly rolled out the first production 3 Series Touring. How's that for validation? Check out the video below for Reisbock's story.
M-fographic breaks down the history of BMW performance machinery
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Few characters carry the kind of clout among performance enthusiasts as the letter M. For 35 years now, that one letter has adorned over 300,000 BMWs, each tuned to deliver a higher degree of performance than the stock models on which they're based.
The M division has worked up nearly 100 different models over the past third of a century, which can leave even the most expert among Bimmer fanatics bewildered. Fortunately British auto loan service Carfinance247 has commissioned this handy infographic to make sense of it all, and you can check it out below to see what the letter M really stands for.
BMW X4 M probably not in the cards
Thu, 26 Sep 2013BMW is preparing to exploit its latest market niche - those that find themselves unable to choose between the 3 Series, 4 Series and X3 - with the X4. If you're looking for an M product, though, you'll remain limited to the 3 and 4 Series. BMW's Bernhard Ederer, at the Australian launch of the X5, told Car Advice he wouldn't "bet on it," when asked about a hotter X4.
Oddly, Ederer's reasoning, according to the Aussies, is out of concern for the X6 M, whose sales the X4 M would apparently cannibalize. That's like saying the M3 doesn't make sense because it will cannibalize M5 sales - the logic just doesn't really hold up. "The question is what customers are we talking to? And are we talking to someone that is willing and able to afford [an X6 M]?" Ederer told Car Advice.
Car Advice seems to feel the same way, claiming the X3-based X4 will share its powertrains with its donor platform, and will eventually spawn an M variant, albeit a few years down the line.
