1973 BMW 2002 Tii
s/n 2764448
Black with Black Interior

This particular 1973 BMW 2002tii is a factory black sunroof car that was purchased by the seller in Northern California and imported to Canada, here he restored it from 2006-2008. The current owner purchased the car from its Canadian owner and restorer in 2013, nd re-imported it back to the Bay Area of Northern California.

The restoration included the full teardown of the body, ngine, nterior, nd all trim, ith the gas tank and rear sub frame removed as well. Subtle modifications were made including deleting the US-spec side markers, dding a Petri steering wheel, nd a 2002 Haus 5-speed transmission swap.

The exterior was painted with Glasurit black paint after blocking and priming. Side-marker holes were filled with metal and all aluminum bright work was replaced with OEM BMW new parts. All chrome parts were re-chromed to show quality and all rubber seals and bumper rubber was replaced with OEM BMW rubber. An new BMW windshield and new BMW OEM “roundie” tail lights were installed, nd the bumpers tucked in with ’72 bumper brackets, hich have a more attractive look than the ’73 units.

Underneath, he body was wire-brushed, leaned and sealed with two coats of POR15 rust protection paint and Wurth High Build Undercoating under the rear subframe. Wheel-wells received the same POR15 and Wurth treatment. Front wells received the POR15 and POR Chassis Coat. Inside them are period gold Work Equip 03 custom wheels (15×7 front with 195/50 and 15×7.5 rear with 205/50). The car sits very nicely thanks to Bilstein HD shocks and Ireland Engineering springs. Accordingly, ornering is fantastic with a taut, esponsive feel.

The car is nicely sorted and has approximately 15k miles since the restoration. A full restoration log can be found here on the 2002FAQ. The car is a quite entertaining to drive as it is fast and tight, ets great gas mileage, nd has proven very reliable. It is well-known on the 2002 FAQ board as the previous owner had traveled to numerous events in the US.

The interior is wonderful. The E21 320i sport front seats were recovered with correct vinyl and an NOS tii dash in excellent condition was installed. A new headliner was added with all new rubber door and window seals (OEM BMW). Rear seats are from a BMW 635CSI and were custom fit with a custom parcel shelf. German square weave carpet was added along with a Petri Sport wheel and a restored center console. A Parker Performance Center console plate with VDO gauges for oil pressure, il temp and water temp looks great. An E30 M3 map light rear view mirror was wired in and is functional, nd the seller is proud of the proper Golde sunroof wind deflector, hich is very rare. Lastly, n Alpine CDA 9835 Head unit with IPOD control in the glove box, ustom kick panel front speakers, nd trunk mounted amp and subwoofer deliver acoustics.

The engine was rebuilt with donor block by Markus Glarner Motorworks in Port Perry, N, noted Vintage BMW racer and engine builder. It was a performance build including JE forged 10:1 pistons, ightened connecting rods, hardened crank, ibilias 284 tii cam, orted head, nd new valves. All services were properly finished, ll metals plated as correct from the factory, ike a Wrinkle coat valve cover, tc. The mechanical fuel injection was properly set-up for the 284 cam. All new OEM BMW hoses were used for cooling, acuum, nd fuel, nd Ireland Engineering Poly engine mounts keep things steady. A 320i radiator was selected for optimum cooling, ith a new thermostat and fan. A major commitment was the all-new fuel delivery system, ncluding the Tii fuel pump, uel accumulator, uel filter, FISH pump lines, nd the proper BMW fuel hoses and fuel hose clamps.

The original Tii fuel tank was removed and resealed during restoration, nd a new front wiring harness from BMW Mobile Tradition. A Painless Performance H4 headlight wiring harness supplies an HID conversion within the Euro headlight buckets, nd Cibie Oscar Driving lights and Italian turn signals were also added. A battery relocation kit took the dry cell battery to the trunk for better weight balance and space under the hood, nd a rebuilt tii alternator was spun to 80A. Lastly, n Ireland ceramic-coated Step Header and Ireland Stainless Steel 2″ exhaust finish off the powerplant.

The 2002Haus 5-speed conversion is the best on the market, nd includes a custom cut driveshaft, 3 shifter, nd all brackets to properly align the housing. The gearbox selected was an E21 5-speed transmission that was resealed and has no leaks. A 320i 3.91 LSD was rebuilt in 2012, nd likewise has no leaks. New Turbo rear spindles were added along with poly transmission bushings. The rear subframe was stripped down to bare metal, eceived three coats of POR15 and POR Chassis coat, nd was re-installed with new poly bushings, new Suspension Techniques sway bar, nd all replacement bolts purchased new from BMW.
