1974 BMW 2002 SR20DET Swap
Not sold on Cars & Bids · 1974 BMW 2002 02 Series · 0 miles · Paulden, AZ
THIS... is a 1974 BMW 2002, finished in Riviera Blue with a tan interior. - This 2002's factory 2.0-liter inline-4 and 4-speed manual transmission have been swapped with a Nissan SR20DET 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 and a matching Nissan 5-speed manual transmission. - A partial list of notable currently installed equipment reported by the seller includes 15-inch Alpina-style wheels, an SR20DET 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder, a 5-speed manual transmission, a limited-slip differential, Wilwood clutch and brake master cylinders, an Ireland Engineering Stage 2 suspension kit, Bilstein dampers, four-wheel disc brakes, Recaro front seats, AutoMeter gauges, and air conditioning. - Part of the Neue Klasse family of models, the 02 made its debut in 1966 and played a significant role in shaping the sporty image that BMW enjoys today. It offered excellent handling, nimble sizing, and dependability at a relatively affordable price point, so it became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic. It was also a force to reckon with on the track, especially when it was fitted with a turbocharger. The 02 line retired in 1977, and its spot in the BMW range was filled by the original 3 Series. - Power comes from an SR20DET 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4. Output is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. - 1 set of keys - Car cover - Classic vehicles may not carry emissions equipment, and exemptions to emissions and safety testing vary from state to state. As always, it's the **buyer's responsibility** to perform all due diligence regarding registering this 2002 in their respective state **prior to placing a bid.** - The seller reports that this BMW has been repainted in its factory color, and that its windows have been tinted.
