Details

This 1974 BMW 2002 was purchased in 2014 after 10 years of storage. Recently restored, the entire driveline was rebuilt starting with the 2.0-liter M10 inline-4 and transmission being updated with a Modern E30 5-speed manual and limited-slip differential being installed. The body was media-blasted to bare metal, then coated with epoxy before being painted in the correct Turkis Green Metallic. The Recaro seats, dash pad, and center console were reupholstered with leather, and many other modifications were also added. The new windshield, side windows, and all window and door gaskets are new BMW OEM pieces. The trim and latches were replaced or replated as needed. Euro bumpers were installed in the front and rear. The car rides on new Tii wheels wearing new Michelin Defender tires with new metal valve stems. Inside, the RECARO sport seats, steering wheel, center console, dash pad and rear storage tray were reupholstered in leather. The new door panels, carpets and headliner were done to high standards and both sun visors are NOS items. A new shifter boot and M Sport shift knob were fitted, and other changes from stock include a Clarion radio with JBL speakers. The car has roughly less than 1,200 miles since finished. The suspension was fully rebuilt with new Bilstein Sport shocks, all new bushings, new front control arms, new tie rods and refinished rear trailing arms. Receipts for the restoration are included.
