1971 BMW 2002 Sedan White RWD Manual

Description for BMW 2002 1971

Thanks for looking at my 1971 BMW 2002. I bought this car as a COVID project. The car quickly got out of hand as you can see all the new mechanicals. This car is perfect for someone with paint/bodywork/ and interior skills. The engine was built by Ireland Engineering and is estimated to have approximately 125 hp, significantly more than the stock one hundred or most old tired M10’s at 80hp. What started out as a project to clean the car up, replace the brakes, turned into a full on mechanical replacement. The engine is new, take a look at the build sheet, I have only 500 miles on the engine since installed. I finished the mechanicals in Northern California in 2021 and drove the car down to Southern California. Since then I have taken the car out just a few times. My plan was to get the paint and bodywork done and then the interior but, life gets in the way. So many new parts have been installed, I’ll try to list them below (yes I have receipts too).

All new wiring (wired for Air conditioning but, I don’t have the parts)

New ignition that matches the new door handles (I have not installed the door handles because I think the car needs either new doors or the doors reskinned)

New windshield wipers and arms

New front left and right fenders

The undercoatining is Por15 in grey. I wanted this grey so I could see if the car had any leaks. Black hides too much.

What the car is missing:

Windshield wiper motor

Interior center console

What the car needs: PAINT, INTERIOR and BODYWORK

I am sure I am forgetting many small things, if you have questions I will answer them nightly, after work.

Thanks.
