That's pretty damn cool. What year? I don't know much about old BMWs.

1976 BMW 2002. It's a carb 2.0l that is pretty slow but fun to drive. Upgraded from the 4 speed to a newer 5 speed, rwd of course. Honestly pretty well sorted after I put a bit of work into it this past month. No rust in the typical spots, which is pretty awesome. It is an Arizona car though so to be expected. But the interior is pretty beat from the sun. Sorry for shit pictures, I'll try and get something better than phone pictures.

Pretty damn good shape for it's age. It's always fun to snatch a southern rust free car. I'm actually heading back down in a month or so to pick up my old 83 Mustang and bring it back up here. It's been sitting for the better part of 15 years now. I'm surprised how well the red paint held up to the sun. Last red car I bought took a LOT of work to get it back from the faded "Texas red" color.

Very cool.
But kinda curious: why get rid of a really cool project that was nearly done just to start a new one a couple months later? Did the 1.6 hate really push you over the edge? :giggle: We still love you of course. Old bimmers are cool. |
Cool car. How much boost is it going to get?
|
I don't know how much I went into it here, but I was literally all set to go to China for a year. Ended up not enough people signed up for the study abroad program and they canceled it. If I had gone I wouldn't have a place to put a car at all.
Now that I'm not going I need something else. |
Nice Bimmer, Chaz.
|
I like the bimmer. Any plans to make it quicker and less-boaty?

I want to eventually do dual side draft carbs like so: https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1398704924 But that is also way in the future. I graduate next Spring, so bigs plans are set for after that. Maybe I'll drop in some M-Power shit and go all out when I actually have a job haha. |
im pretty sure the slowest 1.6L miata is faster than that...

I call first dibs on the 13" rims when part out time comes. :giggle::giggle: |
I'm jealous. I love these cars. They are so simple and ridiculously reliable. I had one in Michigan when I first learned to drive so it's a little nostalgia too. I had over 300k on the odometer before I moved on. It still ran fine It was just rusty and it was time.
Nice find. Mine was gutless but it was still fun as hell to drive. It was completely stock and scary as hell in the snow! |

One of the easiest cars I have ever worked on. Just a PITA getting parts.

Token title change. Not that I can argue with it.

I know a thing or two about those. Happy to help if it comes to fruition.

I love me a 2002. If you slam it I will punch you in the testes. So many CR.net type kiddos are ruining them.
