BMW M5

 

 

Here she is, my 1968 BMW 2002... though not much from '68 remains, as all six owners went nuts with modifications... including me! Presently the car has a strong M10 engine and the following mods:

  • 1976 engine block
  • E12 head
  • 9.5:1 compression ratio
  • 292º cam
  • Tii mechanical advance distributor
  • Pertronix point-less electronic ignition
  • Dual 40mm Mikuni/Solex side draft carbs
  • RamFlo air filters
  • Electric fuel pump and new 3/8" steel fuel line from tank to carbs
  • AFPR
  • Stahl header
  • 80 Amp alternator
  • Three row radiator
  • Dinan springs
  • ST anti sway bars
  • Bilstein sport shocks/struts
  • BMW E30 "Bottlecap" wheels with 195/65/14 tires
  • Tii struts
  • Turbo backing plates
  • 5 series four pot front calipers w/ turbo rotors
  • 320i rear drum brakes
  • "Earls" stainless steel braided soft brake lines
  • Trunk mounted battery in Stiffy Werks rear brace
  • Nardi wood and aluminum steering wheel

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff, but that's how she sits.

I recently picked up a 320i 3.9:1 Limited Slip Differential and late ('76) rear sub frame. I hope to have it installed soon.
