A cherished example of BMW’s beloved 2002, a lightweight and engaging two-door classic saloon that helped define the brand’s sporting credentials in the 1970s. It is powered by a rebuilt naturally aspirated 2.0-litre ‘M10’ inline-four, delivering 163hp to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in 2015 by renowned specialist Lester Owen at a cost of £8,983. This example was originally registered in Vienna, Austria, in November 1971, I imported to the UK in July 2014. Equipment and features: This 2002 is finished in Bristol Grey, with a Dark Blue Vinyl-trimmed interior, with reupholstered front seats in the original Blue. It rides on a set of 14-inch powder-coated steel wheels shod in Dunlop Sport Bluresponse tyres. Performance and usability upgrades include a ceramic-coated stainless steel exhaust system, Bilstein sports dampers with Jaymic lowering springs, polybushed suspension, camber correction plates, a leather-trimmed Moto-Lita steering wheel, a rebuilt E21 limited-slip differential and upgraded E21 vented front discs with Volvo 240 calipers. A rebuilt BMW E21 five-speed gearbox improves high-speed cruising, though the original four-speed gearbox is included in the sale. The car is accompanied by the original 1971 Austrian registration document, the BMW UK Classic confirmation of vehicle information, two ignition keys and two immobiliser keys, the original owners handbook and extensive invoices detailing restoration and servicing work. Cndition: Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Viewing can of course be arranged on weekend and evenings. Reason for sale is simply lack of use as indicated by the MoT history. I have loved owning the car for the last 11 years, but it is now time for the car to have a new owner to enjoy the car. Please feel free to ask any questions, kind regards, Tom.
