BaT Auction: 1972 BMW 2002 5-Speed

This 1972 BMW 2002 is finished in orange over black vinyl upholstery and is powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a replacement five-speed manual transmission. The engine has been modified with a Weber two-barrel carburetor, aftermarket headers, and an electronic distributor, and other modifications include a stainless steel exhaust system, a relocated battery, and an aftermarket Blaupunkt stereo. The seller acquired the car in October 2019, and subsequent work includes reupholstering the cabin and repairing the floors. This 2002 is now offered in Missouri with a clean Georgia title in the seller’s name.

The car wears an older repaint in Inka and features a single exhaust outlet, a polished fuel cap, and a chrome grille, bumpers, mirrors, and beltline trim. The seller notes that dings were repaired during previous ownership.

The silver-finished vented wheels feature BMW roundel center caps. Stopping power is provided by disc brakes up front and drums out back.

The cabin features seats and door panels that were reportedly reupholstered in black vinyl during current ownership, and the seller states that the window seals, door seals, and the trunk lid seal were replaced at the same time. An aftermarket shifter and shift boot has been installed, and an aftermarket Blauplunkt stereo with Bluetooth functionality has been installed by the seller. The driver-side vent window requires assistance to close.

The wood-rimmed MOMO steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 67k miles, approximately 2k of which were added during current ownership.

The 2.0-liter M10 inline-four has been modified with a Weber DGV two-barrel carburetor, aftermarket headers, and an electronic distributor. The battery was relocated to the trunk, and an oil change was last performed in April 2020.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement five-speed manual transmission. A stainless-steel exhaust system has been installed, and the seller notes that a rust hole on the passenger-side floor pan was repaired in preparation for the sale.
