Subsequent service is said to have included installing a replacement timing chain and tensioner, a 121 cylinder head, European-market 2002 Tii-specification Mahle pistons, a 90-amp internally regulated alternator, a Pertronix ignition system, a 2002 Tii-specification flywheel and Sachs clutch kit, a replacement four-speed manual gearbox, a 3.90:1 limited-slip differential, a close-ratio “177” steering box, a 38/38-style downdraft carburetor, and more as listed below. Finished in Atlantic Blue over tan Skai vinyl, the car also features a driver-side mirror, pop-out rear windows, replacement fog lights, power-assisted front disc brakes, 13″ steel wheels, and a heater. This BMW 2002 is offered at no reserve with parts receipts and an Arkansas title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Atlantic Blue (041) and features a driver-side mirror, pop-out rear windows, and US-specification bumpers and side markers The seller tells us that the floor panels were repaired under previous ownership, while work under current ownership involved repairing the lights and installing replacement fog lights. Blemishes are noted on various exterior surfaces, and corrosion is noted on the rear panel and rocker panels.
Steel 13″ wheels were mounted with 175/70 Kenda tires and installed circa October 2025. Stopping is provided by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The seller notes that a close-ratio “177” steering box was installed and filled with a Red Line Oils lubricant under current ownership.
The seating surfaces are upholstered in tan Skai vinyl. The seller notes that the heater was repaired under current ownership, at which time the car received a replacement shifter boot and bushings. The headliner is torn, and the dashboard is cracked.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The horn, hazard lights, and speedometer are inoperative. The five-digit odometer shows 59k miles and is inaccurate according to the seller, who estimates having driven the car 1k miles under their ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
