Hey. I am new here on Stance Works, but am not new to the world of cars and all the shenanigans surrounding that world. Just a little disclaimer here. English is my second language, my first being German, and my dyslexia does not help so if my English is bad try and cut me a brake 
Any ways... I am working on a 1974 BMW 2002. When I first got the car I was planning on keeping it mostly original, how ever that dream ended when a trucks trailer hitch went through the front of the car. I found a good e30 donor car that had a running m20b25 for my 2002, and I had always wanted to put an m20 in a 2002. I thought to my self why not. Your car will never be show quality again so why not go for it. So I did.
I have spent a year so fare building the motor and collecting parts. The basics of the build are a BMW strait six from a 325i, a five speed from a 318i, a hybrid LSD diff unit using e21 case and gears and a e30 small case diff pumpkin, a manual steering rack conversion, a 2.5" stainless exhaust with a glass pack center and Magnaflow dual tip muffler, painless 12 circuit street legal race car wiring kit, and much more. Later on down the road the car will get a paint job and a coil over suspension. Here are a few of the things going into the 2002.
-m20b25 strait six from a 90's 325i (extensive head work and a 272 cam, stock bottom end besides the windage tray and crank scraper)
-Port matched intake with 19lb injectors
-Resurfaced and lightened fly wheel (3.8lbs lighter @ 14.8lbs)
-Custom Diff using e21 case and gears and e30 small case LSD pumpkin
-Hand build gauge cluster with some Auto Meter gauges
-Magnaflow dual tip muffler
-Custom shortened pitman arms for the steering rack conversion
I am taking most of April off of work so that I can barricade my self in the garage and do the work that is needed to get all this stuff into the 2002. It will take a lot of work with a good amount of fabrication. Ill be doing some stuff that I have never attempted before.
I am super frickin excited and the car will be so much fun to drive when it is done!
Hope you all enjoy. Ill be updating this thread in the weeks to come.
