Item and History: Up for auction is my 1976 BMW 2002, track car turned street rod. Though my goals for the car were for more street use, it came in great shape and had most of the go-fast parts already installed. First, I removed the roll cage, replaced the solid suspension components and mounts with urethane, and removed the EPO switch. Then I went overboard with the engine and driveline, upgrading from it’s already potent condition with a hot cam and twin Weber 40 carburetors to a fully rebuilt, stroked and bored 2.3L beast. Details of work and upgrades: Motor/Driveline: - TWM individual throttle bodies - TWM intake manifold - TWM throttle body spacers- TWM airbox - TWM fuel rail - TWM air horns - BMW E30 S14 crank - JE pistons (machined by Eric Kerman) - BMW E12 head- Bosch fuel injection pump - Haltech E6X EFI - IE aluminum radiator w/overflow tank- IE stainless intake/exhaust valves - Schrick valve springs - Schrick 304 cam - Aluminum alternator pulley - Used BMW E30 325i 5-Speed- Aardvark 5-Speed Conversion Kit - New clutch (can't remember type right now) Brakes: - Dual Tilton custom remote master cylinder (boosterless)- Interior brake bias adjustment valve- Volvo discs/VW calipers Exhaust: - Stahl header - Magnaflow exhaust and muffler Suspension: - Urethane rear subframe mounts - Rear subframe mount inserts - TEP rear strut tower brace Electrical: - Nicely re-sorted engine wiring- Battery relocated behind rear strut brace Interior:- Esty carpet- BMW E21 cloth rear seat - BMW E30 rear view mirror Exterior: - E-code headlights - Plug for former EPO switch hole on c-pillar - Door handle gaskets - Door seals- Recently fixed a few dents, dings, and paint scrapes; freshly painted engine bay Wheels/Tires: - Superlite GTR 15" wheels - Sumitomo HTR-Z tires Issues: I've disclosed the following details to everyone who's previously contacted me with interest in the car. Contrary to how it appears in the photos, this car was not professionally restored, nor is it 100% complete. I sort of ran out of steam (money/interest) on this car, so here's the remaining issues that I think you should know. - The e30 shift lever is missing its upper half. I can't recall exactly how I ended up with only half a shift lever, but I never got around to sourcing the other major piece and figuring out how to mate the two halves; not as easy as you'd think. It currently just has a generic shift knob attached to the top. It functions fine, but you'd want to eventually put together a correct length e30 shift lever and knob for better ergonomics; plus you'll be able to install the correct rubber shift lever boot that should be there as well.- The believe the speedo is off somehow. It works, but reads about 10 above the speed that it feels like I'm traveling. This is something likely easily repaired by a speedometer repair shop.- The tachometer is not connected. Since we did a 5-speed swap, this was something I never got around to finding a solution for, since the 5-speed from an e30 and the tachometer from a 2002 were not originally compatible. There's a way to fix it, but it probably requires work by a speedometer repair shop to make it compatible.- The front seats currently don't lock into the fore/aft adjustment position. This had never bothered me as I'm fairly tall and just had it adjusted all the way back with no issues. However, a fairly short man recently test drove the car and I was reminded of the issue when he tried to adjust the seat forward and it wouldn't lock in place. Additional Info: I haven't added up the receipts yet, but it's probably nearing $25k in total. The EFI will need some fine tuning depending on your preferences. It’s a little finicky when starting cold, but once warmed up, it runs great. I believe it can be fine-tuned for much better performance. It handles like a dream. I love the suspension and how it feels in the corners. The fully rebuilt motor has approx 3,000 miles (chassis mileage is unknown and the field above wouldn't allow anything but a specific numeric value). The title is free and clear. Lots of upgrade documentation is included. The car is located at my residence in north Colorado Springs, Colorado. I'm willing to help get the car to you, whether through shipping or picking you up at the airport. I've been through all this before and have appreciated the assistance I received. Happy bidding!
