2002 Touring!

[Nay]

http://www.jerseyinsight.co.uk/classifi ... d=2:128210

This was put up for sale yesterday in jersey. Not a common site at all!

I've already started having twisted thoughts

The 2002 2.0L is an M10 engine correct? What is it like putting a 325i M20 in there? Or what is the 2.0L M10 like?

Strangely, I'm considering buying this, and molesting the crap out of it

[ImysE30]

Looks hideous IMO

[Nay]

Civic boy..... you have no say

Not the same one below, but similar!

[toby]

2 Litre M10 is a great old engine. It costs a bit to re register a car on the mainland if you don't live in Jersey though.

[Nay]

I live in Jersey, hence why I'm interested

[armanib]

burn it

[Nay]

You younglings cant see the potential of this car

Lowered, Deep dish alloys, propery polished with either a 2.0L turbo M10 or a tuned 325i M20 engine

Would be a little monster if done properly.

[Ollie_bwoii]

A inka orange touring slammed on some deep dish minilites would be absolutely stunning!

[Nay]

See ollie has some taste!

Ollie, go to Imy and talk some sense into the poor lad!

[armanib]

Burn it and forgett all knowledge that bmw ever made it

[Ollie_bwoii]

There stunning little cars! But have to agree the saloon is slightly better looking!

Nay, go for it! Very cool car! Oh and imy is beyond hope with the new turd!

[bmw-mad]

These cars are so cool i want one and have a few good bits for one just cant find one that hasn't rotten to bits

[ImysE30]

Looks like a 'grandad' car Nay, your only young

[Rav335uk]

Go for it NayC, they are nicw cars done with the /Euro look to them.
BMW-Mad will tell you, Lee has a wide arch Blue 2002 race spec car with a M10 on carbs.

[Fushion_Julz]

The saloon is stiffer than the touring, but the touring is (a lot) rarer...
However, they do like to rust...especially at the rear corners of the boot floor into the back panel/rear valance and rear quarters...

Standard 2lt M10 on single carb produces around 105-110bhp in good condition...

But it isn't hard (albeit not very cheap) to get 200bhp+ from these normally aspirated...

You may have a hard time making the M20 fit...Much easier to chuck in an S14 as the bottom end is essentially the same as the M10, so much the same size...

Dunno what prices are like in Jersey, but I'd expect it to be rust free and fairly original for the price being asked...

[dickster]

Well interesting comments! its actually my car-already mentioned on a post in this forum, the tourings are an aquired taste but with 15" BBS E30 wheels or something more period they look miles better and they are incredibly rare too.

Each to their own and all that!

Mine (Go on Nay get it bought!)


Not mine:

[Rav335uk]

That does look very clean for a car that old

[Simon325i]

something different, go for it!

[dickster]

Thanks, its not perfect being 36 years old it has a couple of very small rust bubbles here and there nothing a rub down and a rattle can couldn't sort, underneath is all body colour and solid its not a perfect car but with a bit of elbow grease it'll be seriously good.

Its taken me six years to buy this car as it kept getting away when I was so very close to doing a deal, the 2.0 M10 engine is quite torquey and overall its easy to forget you're in something cracking on for forty years old. Only issues I had when buying it were a non starting issue but I traced the three faults to starter brushes, voltage drop and voltage regulator-very frustrating to find three issues covering the same symptoms! other than a flasher relay and a clutch slave cylinder its an absolute joy to work on, very simples and easy access to all parts. I was going to buy a set of 15" E30 BBS alloys to stick on it as they look great on 15" (I sold my spare set to NayC just before I bought the 2002-bloody typical!) and I've seen some very interesting Tourings with the S14 M3 engine in-a direct relation to the M10 thats already in it. Interestingly these have four pot brake calipers as standard.

Personally, prefer the 'loon...

?? Whereas the E30 is getting to old skool (but can easily be confused as just being 'old'), the 2002 is properly old skool. Much cooler than an E30 imvho. Quite a bit harder to run as a daily driver though...

I was originally looking to get one (prior to going for the E30), however the associated missions meant I couldn't justify it.

Burn it and forgett all knowledge that bmw ever made it

Imprisonment #2 coming up soon?

[Fushion_Julz]

Your car looks pretty tidy...
The wheels aren't original (E21 13" alloys, by the look of them)...

I used to have an Inca Orange 1802 saloon



Rescued it as a mostly complete, non-runner restored it and had it resprayed in Inca (not its' original colour).

Was my daily driver for quite a while...then it was my brothers' for a bit, then sold...

I also had a 2002ti replica racing car...



At a Silverstone trackday circa 1995

[Joe-318i]

mmm , some nice cars there, i do love the 2002 shape, if 1 was to come along at the right price at the right time. ill propley snap it up, and have it as a nice litte project, u should get it

this 1 is only down the road from me


i also know where there is 1 of these sitting, under cover just rusting away, been there for years, so many iv lost count,not moved once. been there a thew times now. asked if they wanted to sell, but never really get an answer, so just keep leaving them my number, hoping 1 day they might ring me



diffrences is that its Inca Orange and need some tlc, but could be a really nice car, such a waste sitting there

[bigdoe]

i nearly bought this very car about 6-7 years ago, a guy in first tower was selling it at the time, can`t for the life of me remember why i didn`t buy it, looking at the pictures now i wish i had.
very cool car.

[dickster]

Yep but they do miles better than the wafer thin steelies that were on it before, also got an E21 320 that NayC shoulkd also buy as its got brand new uprated Webber carb...although not fitted it yet

Bigdoe First Tower eh? it had a massive and I mean huuuuuge folder of receipts and history that the strange previous owner ended up dumping and he kept the new pressed aluminium number plates

[Nay]

Ah, Mr. Richard! So this is your car i've been inquiring about? Do you own it atm and am I emailing you about it?

God damn you. Its always you I end up talking to whenever I find something interesting....

Bigdoe, are you another Jersey lad? We're building up a small army now! What are you currently cruising around in (so I can have a look out?).

Richard, I was going to reply to your message you sent me yesterday (after a while lol) about your E36 M3. I'm also interested in coming to have a look at that, but I cant afford it atm, but if you aren't rushing into selling it, and I want it... then maybe we could talk about selling it sometime next year? I recently bought a 535i which was shamefully wrote off because a woman drove straight into me at a junction, which is apparently my fault.... So money has instantly tightened up and my lovely 3y NCB has dissappeared.....

LOL! ha ha, yeah well I loves me Beeemer init? lol. What did you do with the 535i and was it manual? you can see where I'm going with this?

Wouldn't happen to know if it has a 2.3 crank and mechanical injection/slide throttles, would you?

[Joe-318i]

no idear, but next time i pass, witch is like every week, ill see if they are in, and try temping them in to selling it, and giving me some more info

[Nay]

Richard, its sitting a martin fernando's.

It is a 535i Manual with a very, very good engine. No prior problems and about 57k-58k miles, quite a few of which are motorway miles. Was a perfect gas guzzler!

I can see where you are going at that was one of my original plans, but I have nowhere to keep it.

If you want it, I can speak to my insurance company to find out how much we could "buy it back" for as they offered it to me when I was getting the money back. I'm about to send off the log book to them next monday, so if you want it and tell me quickly and I can speak to them about getting it back!

im surprised deamon hasnt posted on this thread!

[StuBeeDoo]

'02 Tourings are well cool.
Personally, I prefer the rear-end to the saloons - their boot is too long and looks wrong.

[bigdoe]

nayc: i used to live on the rock but left about 18 months ago, i used to drive a tech 2 malachite green touring and a minty mint macau blue motorsport cab which i sold to a good friend before i left, you may have seen it around.
