Love 2002's i can remember i used to walk passed a 2002 turbo parked up in a driveway about 1984 can remember the same house had a E21 323i also

[Dezzy]

Very tasty indead! Tip top effort!

[buzz6353]

I recognise that new front spoiler .... use to be on a touring??????

[stbaz]

yeh it was on a touring that belonged to my old boss gordon at ashton motors. many a time we hurtled round knockhill in it it got scrapped yrs back but fortunatly he had kept the spoiler which seems to be a genuine bmw part hence the better fit

[stbaz]

by saturday all going well the body will be totally finished, got to put the alpina stripes down the passenger side, there is a thin black line to be painted on the front spoiler then the four arches and spoiler to be final fitted.

as it is now, i have completed the driver side and rear striping, rear lights are fitted with new seals, new lenses and new lense seals

ive stripped the headlights down to a bare unit and replaced the lenses, reflector units inside and new lense retaining rims and seals

alpina tail badge is fitted, bmw small rear panel badge is on and genuine bmw 2002 turbo new boot spoiler is fitted.

i got to say im feeling some enthusiasm coming back as its turning into a car again!!!!

[snakebrain]

Just awesome from start to finish...

[anothere21323i]

WOW! Just stunning - hats off to you buddy!

[baptie0]

Very nice Baz, what ecu are you using to control this?

[poolnoodle]

Looks fantastic. I love the ride height and stance (my '02 sags in the arse alarmingly )
What suspension work have you done - I picked up some Eibachs for mine but haven't got the shocks yet - tossing up between Koni and Bili.

Very nice Baz, what ecu are you using to control this?

hi mate, it will be firing up for initial start on standard management, (wont be getting revs or driven) once i know the thing starts off the key it is getting vems managment fitted with wideband lamda and will also have extra facillities in the ecu such as launch control etc etc possibly to be used at a later date

hi mate, the car has spax adj on the rear and just cheap jamex inserts upfront at the moment , full set of 45mm springs from jaymic. if yours is down in the arse (which mine will be when the fuel tank is fitted again and full no doubt) jaymic do varied height spring pads for the rear

[GrindCulture]

I want one.

[djk]

Very, very, very nice. Top work too. Will be watching this with interest.

[M-Sport]

one awsome 2002 you have there mate cant wait to see the final result

[ladyfayex]

glad ur doing things properly

[poolnoodle]

jaymic do varied height spring pads for the rear

I have seen these in Walloth parts catalogue. Measure the stock ones and they are 28mm but the catalog also listed 38mm variety.
Will have to see how the Eibach set up goes.
Still undecided between Bilstein B6 or Koni Reds
Any thoughts - it will be 99% street use and maybe the odd BMW Club Track Day.
PS: Loving the thread, keep it coming - really inspiring me to tidy up my '02. So far have only found very minor rust in front cross member (under rad), rear exhaust hanger and front spoiler so doubt I will go full strip respray at this stage.

[Andy325i]

Awesome. I take my hat off to you. Keep us updated

Andy

[Taz]

excellent work

Still undecided between Bilstein B6 or Koni Reds

I had Bilsteins on mine and they were perfect.

[JWaller360]

Holy crap, that looks awesome.

I myself would have kept the Yellow and black paint job, love that livery on these cars, but each to their own, and the Alpina livery looks good. I've often thought about one of these with an M42 in, let alone turbo'ing it!

[bmwsport]

Great stuff fella it looks the dogs Love the colour and decal combo

[Mayze]

very very

2002 turbo is my favorite car of all time.

[andy205]
