My Flying Brick, 1976 Bmw 2002.... bored to 2.5l balanced and stroked, later model 5 speed. Roll cage, flaired fenders, shaved off all the chrome. It took me a couple of years to do mostly through the winters. Hauls ass and goes around a corner like its on rails

My neighbor has one that has been sitting for 15 or so years rotting away. He won't get rid of it, swears he'll "fix it up one day."

Nice Car, man.
 
Great car. That looks very nice.

My friend, Jeff Bailey, and I hold the world's speed record for a 2 liter BMW 2002 at 131.7mph.
We set that on our 3rd trip to Bonneville Speed Weeks in 2009.
Our first trip to Bonneville in 2007 was featured on the cover of Roundel in May 2008 (I think that was the issue).

Here are some pictures:

Both Jeff and I are building bikes to run in 2012.
Mine is my cb750 that is in my build thread, Jeff is a cb450.

We think the 2002 will not go any faster with a 2 liter and getting through tech is a lot easier with a motorcycle. :)

Awesome '02 man! I have a '75 that I've been working on for a few years now. 9.5:1 pistons, 292 cam, dual sidedraft webers. It needs the body redone.
I have the feeling I've seen ur car before...do u live in the Northeast? Maybe I've seen it at Lime Rock???
 
scrambeemer - Very nice! :) one of my all time favorite cars. Ever. Beauty! Youre a lucky guy!

the 2002 is a favorite of my mine and my wife. Some day we want to have one in our driveway. I want to leave miami before I get any car I think is nice though.

Cool man! Well I hope you do one day :)
 
Cool car. You post on the FAQ?


Here's mine. It's a rally wannabe, and matches my CB400f in year and colors. It's a 76.

I was looking into buying a lime green 2002 back in high school from my uncle but it turned out the frame was rotted out. Still love these cars!

Its a website/forum bmw2002faq.com Great website if you need to know anything 2002 related. I used to frequent but my '02 build is on the backburner for now. Lots of beautiful cars over there.
