1972 Bmw 2002Tii restored and rejuvenated. This is not your average Tii...
California car with nosunroof and no rust. Super dry and particularly clean body and undercarriage. The car was previously owned by Roger at RogersTii.com in the San Francisco Bay Area. RogersTii.com is a well known vintage BMW Parts supplier that specializes in rare and hard to find parts.
This car has been owned by him for over 25 years. Roger has taken the utmost care of the car during his ownership and has kept detailed receipts and a service log. Prior to his ownership it was owned in Newark, California.
It is truly amazing that this 2002Tii has only traveled 84k documented miles. Records date back to 1990. It comes with the "For Sale” sign from the original seller and newspaper cutout classified listing from San Francisco Chronicle.
This 2002Tii has undergone a long 3 year restoration that was just completed May 2016. The car has been driven less than 200 miles since completion. I have over $30k in receipts from the restoration. All oem BMW parts were supplied by Roger's Tii.
The original Tii fuel injected motor eventually reached the end of its life span and finally it required a rebuild or replacement.This prompted the decision to change the factory Tii motor and transmission to something more powerful!
The chosen motor would be a new 2.2 Metric Mechanic motor freshly built by Metric Mechanic. Metric Mechanic is a leading BMW drivetrain expert shop inbusinessfor over 30 years building performance only BMW engines, transmissions and differentials. Linkhere Metricmechanic.com. Full receipts from Metric Mechanic and tuning guide are included.
The motor is a 2200 HI FLO ST Sport Engine that produces 155HP/150lbs torque. To match the power plant is a newly built Metric Mechanic 4 Speed Manual transmission and a limited slip rear differential. It is the perfect power train setup for the Tii. Power is unbelievable and shifting is amazingly precise.
The motor also features lightened flywheel 228mm, cool down pulley 113mm and Super Sprint Header.
The restoration started with a strip down of the older Chamonix paint and motor was removed to paint the entire engine bay, body and trunk. Floors were untouched because of the beautiful integrity. A Zender front spoiler completed the front end aggressive stance.
After the repaint the car was transported to A1 Autoworks in San Rafael California. The motor and transmission were both still new in a crate and prepped for the transplant by the owner of the shop JP.
The subframe was removed and powder coated, new firewall insulation installed, and tie rods were replaced. Radiator was re cored and fuel tank cleaned/powder coated, air cleaner powder coated and pedal box was completely rebuilt.
The clutch, slave, master cylinder, front brake calipers, pads, brake lines and rear brake parts all replaced. It also has a new fuel pump, heater valve, fuse box and so many more misc engine parts.
A new Optima yellow top battery was purchased and relocated to the trunk area. Hood pad and rubbers were all replaced along with engine bay decals.
The next item of focus was the suspension. A new Ireland Engineering sway bar was installed in the front, Bilstein shocks, and performance lowering springs. The wheels are rare Ronal Turbo 15 x7 vintage wheels andFulda tires.
On the interior I replaced the carpet with German Loop Blue carpet. In the front I installed a set of E21 Recaro seats sans headrests (for that vintage race car look). They were recovered in the Factory Blue color to match blue door panels. The back seat was recovered to match the front seat seam pattern. Rear hat tray is new as well.Note that no speaker holes were cut and new owner can choose where to place speakers in the car.
The dash isoriginal and has one small crack down the middle but otherwise perfect. Aftermarket gauges were tastefully placed for additional monitoring of vitals.Denon Stereo will need hook up if desired.
Momo steering wheel feels great in your hands. The car tracks beautifully and turns like it was built for thetwisty roads.
