‘71 bmw 2002
Anyone else a fan of 02’s?
This is my 1971 roundie. It’s such an analog car to drive compared to the modern cars of today. But that’s just one reason that makes it special, in my opinion. |

So clean... I really miss my '73. A really great car, but didn't meet my needs at the time.

Big 2002 fan here - I'm on my third. Started with the '70 in 1980, got a '76 in 1988 and have had the current '74 tii since 2002.

It has a built m10 engine. I’d like to swap an e30 m3 or s2000 drivetrain in it. But that means throwing more money at the car and eating cup of noodles every damn day. I don’t think my wallet and digestive tract could handle that kind of abuse 😅 |

Hopefully you '02 owners are familiar with the foremost forum for these cars:
https://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/fo...-and-other-02/ There are a number of Facebook pages but so many scammers out there are ruining our hobby!

Nothing wrong with a built M10 in a light chassis they are quite fun. Have no photos's of mine. Had a rusty 73 and a 76 slushbox for a winter bomber.
Many have done the S14 route and these days you'd be eating ramen as a permanent diet to install one. Days of buying an S14 for a few thousand are long gone and most core engines are up there as well. Wished I still had my spare 2.5L s14 that I had bought back in 07, but alas I bought a second E30 M3 and installed it and sold it a few years later. S2000 engine I imagine are not getting cheaper either being Honda did not make them long and being all their other 2.0L engines are transverse YUCK! Maybe at some point add a modern turbo kit with proper fueling and a 5 SPD vs the 4. As John mentioned 2002FAQ is a great site. |

No. It is actually mostly done and the car is now in primer but sat so long there is now a little surface rust in places. I need time to get into this project. Maybe next year.

My 02 actually has a 5 speed swapped in it already. But the drivetrains out of the e30 m3 or s2000 is just a future wish list at the moment. |

You could consider using a M42 twin cam. They can make decent power with a bump in displacement too about 2.1L Metric Mechanic still builds them but wow prices are not cheap.

I am trying to decide on a motor as well. An M42 or M44 is a possibility. I could also build and turbo the M10. I think I will use aftermarket fuel injection and ignition. I would consider a Honda K24 swap as well but there are no full kits and I don’t know how much bigger a project I want.
