1976 Bmw 2002 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Bedford, New Hampshire, United States
1976 Classic BMW 2002, last year for the car….This iconic car has been in our family since 1977. Virtually every receipt
since the car’s purchase is still on hand, along with the original owner’s
manual. Although a mechanical
restoration was started in 2002, it has not been completed. The chassis did
have rust in the typical spots, including the left rear wheel well. Utilizing
NOS factory parts, the entire wheel well was professional replaced. The floors
and the remainder of the chassis are nearly rust free. Drivetrain: When new,
this car was equipped with an automatic transmission. It has been converted to
a 5-speed transmission using a newly remanufactured Getrag from the Metric Mechanic. The pedal box and all related
components necessary for the conversion were purchased new from BMW and the
2002 Haus. Absolutely no expense was spared in this conversion, including two brand
new, complete drive axles from BMW. The 14” original BBS BMW wheels have never
seen the road; new and perfect, including the hub covers. Suspension: All corners
are now fitted with new Bilstein Sport struts coupled with new Eibach lowering
springs. The rear control arms were replaced with new ‘tii boxed’ units.
All components have been either epoxy painted or powder coated. All sway bars
are tubular and fully adjustable and, together with the performance suspension bushings,
were purchased from Dave Ireland Racing. The front sub frame was removed, media
blasted and repainted. The steering box
and idler arm were also rebuilt at that time. The front suspension features
adjustable camber using custom strut tower mounts. Camber and toe-in are also
adjustable in the rear suspension. The battery has been relocated to the truck
along with the obligatory strut tower brace. Engine: Zero miles
on a very comprehensive performance rebuild which includes: ·
Ported
and polish head with new valves and guides.
·
New
dual 40DCOM carbs with ported and polished manifold. New custom stainless steel
fuel lines were made exclusively for this car by the Stainless Steel Brake Corp
in Clarence, NY. A new high volume Carter pump has been mounted in the engine
bay in the old battery location.
·
Ignition
system that has been upgraded, but retains an original equipment ‘tii’ distributor
which was purchased new but has never been used. Rather than use points, it
sports a Pertronix magnetic pick-up driving a new MSD 6A-L. ·
New,
old stock Shrick 292 camshaft with new rockers and performance retainers.
·
New
ARP head studs and hardware.
·
New,
ceramic coated exhaust manifold completed with new, never installed complete Ansa
exhaust.
·
Pistons
are OE 10.5:1 “piano top” Mahle.
·
All
lower end components are new, including the oil pump and chain. Naturally, a
windage tray has been fitted. All
components have been precision balanced.
·
Engine
mounts are of the polyurethane variety. Brakes: ·
Front: All new OEM components including
wheel bearings. The calipers have been professionally rebuilt. Brake hoses have
been replaced with custom stainless steel lines.
·
Rear: Custom rear disc brake conversion
from Dave Ireland Racing. Chassis and Interior: Although the
engine, drivetrain and suspension are installed in the chassis, all the final
assembly/testing work remains to be completed. The engine has not been started
since the rebuild was completed several years ago. The interior is in pieces as
work was started but not completed with the installation of a new pedal box and
shifter housing to accommodate the 5-speed conversion. A VDO gauge kit was
purchased, but has not yet been installed (although the required
senders/sensors have). The dashboard is in perfect condition, without any cracks
or blemishes. The steering wheel has been replaced with a new, period-correct
MOMO wheel. Overview: This is a
project car that will require considerable work and patience to complete. Although
parts-wise, she is nearly complete, a fuel tank and driver’s seat will be
needed. The car is offered for sale ‘as-is, where is,’ with no warranty of
any sort. Fire away with questions, as I’ve been involved with this car for
nearly 40 years.

BMW predicts US will be biggest i8 market
Sat, 10 Aug 2013BMW will be showing a production version of its new i8 plug-in hybrid supercar at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, and while we're quite excited about seeing the company's second i product in the flesh. According to a new report from Automotive News Europe, BMW is expecting its largest markets to be the United States, United Kingdom and Germany. Notable for its absence in that list is everybody's favorite mega-market, China.
Automobilwoche, a German-language publication of Automotive News Europe, spoke with the i8's product manager, Hendrik Wenders, who declared, "The US will be by far the largest sales market for the i8." Wenders stops short of actual mentioning what percentage of i8 sales will be in the US, but does mention that it should arrive in showrooms around the world in about nine months. The simultaneous rollout will occur in 50 different countries.
Check back for our full coverage of the i8's debut at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. If you just can't wait until September, then check out our first drive of the i8 Prototype.
Next-gen Mini could sire 10 different models including PHEV
Sat, 12 Oct 2013The first generation of the reimagined, BMW-backed Mini was a simple things, confined to two body styles - hatchback and four-seat convertible. It wasn't until the second-generation platform came along that Mini began truly expanding, offering a long-wheelbase model, a roadster, a coupe, a five-door crossover, and a three-door, um, thing?
BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform.
According to an interview between Automotive News Europe and the BMW board member that oversees Mini, Peter Schwarzenbauer, the funky British brand will be expanding far beyond the seven body styles it currently offers. "With the new ULK architecture, we currently have in mind eight to 10 models," Schwarzenbauer told ANE. That architecture he mentions, will also underpin the BMW 1 Series GT and the BMW X1, meaning that BMW is aiming for 10 to 12 different vehicles from just two brands off one platform (and that's only what we know about).
Updated BMW X6 spied running the 'Ring in Germany
Tue, 22 Oct 2013Following the debut of the X5 earlier this year, it shouldn't come as a shock that BMW is testing an updated X6 in its homeland. The Munich-based manufacturer trekked to the Nürburgring to test the lifted, four-door coupe it calls a Sports Activity Vehicle, while also giving us our first peak as to what the future holds for one of the weirder models in the brand's stable.
Mainly, we can safely expect the next X6 to get the same range of refinements made to its platform-mate, the X5, which debuted earlier this year. If we're lucky, that could mean an X6 sDrive35i, complete with rear-wheel drive with which to fling the big SAV about. Adding a rear-drive option could also broaden its admittedly limited appeal by lowering the cost of entry, which could serve the pricier X6 well. As a point of reference, the X5 sDrive35i is priced at $2,300 below an xDrive all-wheel-drive-equipped model.
The X6's top-flight xDrive50i model should get the same 45-horsepower bump as the X5 xDrive50i, thanks to refinements to its twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, while the 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-pot should remain unchanged. We wouldn't hold our breath for an X6 diesel to arrive, although weirder stuff has happened. Like the X5, though, this should be a pretty slim refit that improves an already competent package to go along with an expected increase in price.
