DESCRIPTION:.
This automobile was purchased in early 2000 from the estate of a close friend who had passed away suddenly at

44 while in the middle of a several year restoration program for the vehicle. I chose it up in Connecticut as a stripped, rolling framework and 65 boxes of parts. My close friend ran a little German car parts company from her house. She had owned this automobile considering that about 1981, winning the Super Clean BMWCCA Oktoberfest events in both 1982 and 83. I assured her sibling and sibling that I would recover the vehicle as she would have wanted. The automobile odometer checked out about 96,400 miles, and presently reviews 15,400. The transmission, engine and shift linkage have actually been restored in the past 3000 miles. Actual mileage is unknown. The vehicle had actually been repainted a color that I call "Cream Yellow". It is not an initial BMW 2002 color, but in the accompanying photos you can discover images of this car in the very same color, in the 1984 book Bavarias Driving Machines, by Jan Norbye. I think the car was originally "Nevada" or "Sahara Beige". I cant verify the automobile was constantly a 2002ti, even though Norbyes book describes it as a 2002ti. I acquired the vehicle with dual Weber sidedraft carburetors in a box, but later on decided to change it to Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection. The VIN identifies the car as a U.S. production 2002, integrateded December 1970. Its theoretically possible that a U.S. serviceman bought the car while stationed in Germany and it was constantly a 2002ti, however I can not verify that speculation. Expense Holmes, owner of Bavarian Rennsport, and I chose to change the automobile to 2002ti-plus specification in mid-2000, thinking the Kugelfischer (conventional in the tii) would be much easier to tune than the sidedrafts (standard in a ti) My objective was to create a lovely "resto-mod" that could be shown at local vehicle shows and would be competitive in BMW CCA San Diego Chapter autocrosses. I have actually only taken the vehicle to High Performance Driving Events twice in fourteen years (Buttonwillow and Laguna Seca), but I have actually autocrossed it over 20 times. If there are 20 stock M3s at the chapter autocross (E30, E36, E46, or E90), I would usually beat about 17 of them. If there were 20 modified M3s, I would normally beat half of them. As for the automobile reveals, it has actually won the Super Clean and Masters department at the annual San Diego Clean Car Show, and won the Jack Cavanaugh Memorial Trophy (for Judges Choice). Last August it took 2nd place in the BMW CCA Oktoberfest Concours Modified department in Monterey, CA. Exterior I believe my pal began the ground-up restoration in about 1996. It included a new nose, hood, front fenders and rocker panels. The vehicle has resided in Southern California because that time, and has actually been in light rain only more than once because that time, never in snow. It has actually always been garaged and covered since I purchased it. While a lot of individuals think the vehicle looks great on the exterior, there is a small "bump" near the lower right-hand man corner of the back window that I think to be rust, below a still-painted location. The "bump" is about an inch in diameter. An extremely recent "pre-purchase assessment" (PPI) by a local, highly-regard independent BMW service center kept in mind that bump in addition to a little "rust" location on the frame rail. They called these reasonably minor troubles that would not need instant attention. These are probably from small spots of rust missed out on in the 1998 repainting and stripping. The rest of the automobile is really nice, but not ideal. Bill Holmes says Im too important, but they are a few locations where the paint job from 1998 is raising from the guide in really small spots, and there are numerous "parking area dings". One "ding" is on the hood, one on the motorists door, a couple in the rear trunk panel location, and a couple of on the chrome belt-line area. The PPI mentions the dings, however called them small. The owner of that store stated he would not repaint the whole car, however would feather in a repaint in the afflicted locations. Thats why the cost for this beauty is $27,000 and not $35,000. I figure that a new buyer may wish to alter the color, so why go through the effort to repaint it,.
