So I finally received some photos from our customer showing off the work performed on his stanced '72 BMW 2002. Matt came to the shop a while ago with his clean blue 2002, inquiring about some exhaust work, a shifter, and most importantly - MOAR LOW! Well Chris (Castro) was up for the task, so they didn't waste much time.

First I'd like to give a little background on Matt's car, as this classic has some history. Matt rescued this 2002 from his uncle's backyard almost 2 years ago. The car was just sitting there, untouched for years, and Matt had always wanted to get it from his uncle. The day finally came where Matt was able to get it, and add to the car's history in his own way. The body is straight, and in pretty damn good shape for a 40 year old BMW! The cream leather interior is mint, and the wood grain, Grant steering wheel really keep this car period correct.

Anyhow, after talking it over with Chris, they decided to do a full header back exhaust with X-pipe, widened rear wheel arches to allow him to poke his wheels out with spacers, build a custom, tall, DTM style shifter, install E30 M3 Delrin offset control arm bushings, install upgraded Ireland Engineering sway bars and to lower the car with a custom coil-over set-up.

A few specs on the car:
