Car description |

Up for sale is my 1976 BMW 2002 with Megasquirt EFI conversion, and lots of upgrades. I've owned this car for the past eight years. It's been extremely well cared for. It's my project car, and my only car, which turns out to not be a great combination. So I'm reluctantly letting it go in order to get myself a daily driver which I won't be tempted to tinker with. It had 295,000 miles on the odometer when the odometer stopped working, and now is probably a little over 300k. Note, though, that most parts have been rebuilt or replaced at some point in its life (many of those since I've owned it) so the mileage on any given component is typically much less than that.

A few of the more significant upgrades over the past couple of years are:
* Megasquirt EFI (programmable fuel injection) conversion
* distributorless electronic ignition (also programmable via megasquirt)
* Recently replaced brake calipers, drums, rotors
* Stainless steel brake lines
* Bilstein Sport strut inserts, Bilstein HD shock absorbers
* Optima red top battery (relocated to trunk)
* Shock brace
* New exhaust system (stainless steel header and down pipe, ANSA resonator and muffler)
* Head rebuilt during Megasquirt conversion (<20,000 miles ago)
* 65 Amp Bosch alternator
* Larger BMW 318i radiator
* Silicone coolant hoses
* Electric fan
* Freshly restored (blasted+ powder coated) E30 M3 basketweave wheels
* Brand new tires (0 miles)
* Momo steering wheel
* Custom center console
* Refurbished trunk
* New spare wheel + tire
* Euro turn signals
* Replaced many plastic bits, added sound deadening, etc for quieter ride
* Too many more upgrades to list here, but see pictures, and ask questions for more details.
All modifications have been extensively documented for maintainability.
The car isn't perfect, and I'll do my best here to give a complete list of problems for full disclosure. The ones that can be photographed are included in the pictures. If you have any questions about something here, or want more pictures of something just let me know.
* Four rust patches (two on the nose, one on the lower drivers side fender, and one in the spare wheel well). No other significant rust.
* The seat vinyl has some cracks: one in the drivers side seat, another in the top of the rear seat backrest.
* I replaced the heater valve with a hardware store hose valve (means you need to turn a big red knob under the hood to adjust the heater. 10% steampunk, 90% silly and impractical).
* The tachometer doesn't work because the distributor was removed during the megasquirt upgrade. **
* The odometer randomly stopped working a few years ago **
** I'm currently working on designing and building a digital speedometer and tachometer for the 2002 -- using the original gauge faces. I have a working prototype (pics here: https://www.invertedearth.net/2002-digital-gauges/ ), but the design needs to be polished up. Whoever buys this car can have one for free once I finish that project -- aiming for early next year.
I'm really sad to see it go, but it's just not financially practical for me to keep it right now. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns or requests for more pictures.
It should be noted that this car cannot be registered in California because the megasquirt conversion will not pass the visual inspection for OEM smog equipment. Ironic, because it should have better tail-pipe emissions now than it did with the carb. It should pass any inspection that just looks at tailpipe emissions, and not original equipment.
