1974 BMW 2002 5-Speed

This 1974 BMW 2002 is an orange-over-black example that was acquired by the seller in 2014 and subsequently converted into an electric vehicle. The car is powered by dual electric motors linked to six Tesla-sourced battery modules and a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a dilithium battery management system along with 15″ Panasport wheels, Euro-style bumpers, front disc brakes, Bilstein dampers, a sunroof, a Vintage Air climate control system, battery charge instrumentation, and Coco floor mats. This electric-powered 2002 is now offered with a clean Texas title in the seller’s name. The car was refinished in orange in 2016. Exterior details include a sunroof, Euro-style bumpers, and dual side mirrors. The seller reports the windshield was replaced along with the sunroof seal, door gaskets, and side window seals. Panasport 15″ wheels are mounted with 195/50 Falken Ziex ZE960 tires. Stopping power is provided by front discs and rear drums, and the brake booster has been removed. Bilstein dampers have been installed, and additional service during current ownership reportedly included replacing the brake master cylinder, upper strut mounts, rear wheel cylinders, and brake lines and hoses. The dashboard, front bucket seats, and rear bench were reupholstered in black vinyl, and the door panels were replaced during current ownership. Coco mats line the footwells, and the seller notes the factory climate control system has been replaced with a Vintage Air Gen II air conditioner with an integrated PTC brick heater. The headliner is sagging and there is a split in a seam of the rear seat upholstery, both of which can be seen in the gallery. A four-spoke MOMO steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation that includes a 120-mph speedometer and a tachometer. Battery management system and electric motor readouts are monitored on a digital display mounted in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 62k miles, approximately 3k of which were added during current ownership. True mileage is unknown. The car is equipped with dual three-phase AC induction motors from Hi Performance Electric Vehicle Systems, and features six Tesla Model S-sourced liquid-cooled battery modules with two Curtis Instruments 1239e controllers that reportedly produce approximately 28-kWh of energy. The car features a dilithium battery management system with a 3.3-kW onboard charger and a 1.5-kW DC converter. The electric conversion was completed under current ownership by the Moment Motor Company. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a Getrag 245 five-speed manual transmission with a BluntTech shifter kit. Clutch hydraulic components are said to have been replaced and a heavy-duty pressure plate, a puck friction disc, and a shortened driveshaft were reportedly installed. Rust and corrosion can be seen on the underside. Filed under: bmw 02, bmw 2002
