1969 S14-Powered BMW 2002: currently on Craigslist. Here's a link.

"Offered for sale is this modified 1969 BMW 2002, a unique and well-executed build that combines vintage charm with modern performance enhancements. This example features a wide array of mechanical upgrades and cosmetic modifications designed to improve handling, driving dynamics, and style, while preserving the engaging driving experience BMW is known for.

Exterior & Body: The car is finished in Alpine white with a tasteful blue vinyl accent wrap, which can be removed if the new owner desires. The standout feature of this 2002 is its Alpina widebody kit, often referred to as "pig cheeks," which gives the car a muscular stance. It sits on 13-inch Minilite wheels wrapped in Toyo R888R tires that look to be nearly new, offering excellent grip for spirited driving. Other exterior modifications include a Koogle Works front lip, chrome molding delete, and a brand-new rear bumper. The bodywork shows some imperfections typical of a driver-focused car but remains in good overall condition.

Interior: The interior of this 2002 is equally well-appointed, featuring black vinyl seats with cloth inserts. The front seats are E21 Recaro buckets, while the rear seats have been upgraded to BMW E24 units, reupholstered in classic houndstooth fabric. The dashboard is in excellent condition, crack-free, and complemented by modern Alpina-style instrument cluster gauges for improved visibility and style. Additional updates include a suede Personal steering wheel, Alcantara headliner, and new carpeting and door panels.

Mechanical & Drivetrain: Under the hood, the car is powered by an S14 engine sourced from an E30 M3, with 105k miles on the donor motor. This engine provides significant performance improvements over the original powerplant, and is paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential (LSD) for improved handling and driving dynamics. The suspension has been upgraded with BC coilovers at the front and Bilstein shocks at the rear, providing an excellent balance of comfort and performance. Volvo front calipers help provide increased braking power, while the custom exhaust system adds a distinctive note to the driving experience. Other notable mechanical modifications include a relocated battery to the trunk, a strut brace, and an E21 radiator. The car also features a brand-new OEM clutch and fresh front and rear glass.

Electrical & Features: While most electrical components work as expected, the driver’s side blinker and the horn are currently non-operational. The car features a complete set of beautiful modern instruments and gauges, adding a sleek and functional touch to the cabin.

Condition: This 1969 BMW 2002 is in great running condition, with no rust present and a clear, clean title. While there are minor imperfections in the bodywork, it is far from a concours-level show car. Instead, this is a well-built, reliable example designed to be driven hard and enjoyed on the road. The car has never been involved in any accidents, and its modifications were made with performance in mind.

Included in the Sale: The sale includes no additional accessories, as the car is being offered as is. The new owner will enjoy a truly engaging driving experience, thanks to its upgraded suspension, potent engine, and timeless BMW styling.

Known Issues:

  • The driver’s side blinker and horn are currently not working.
  • Minor imperfections in the bodywork.
  • Will provide service history upon request.

This car is a fantastic example of a classic BMW that has been thoughtfully upgraded with performance-oriented parts while maintaining its iconic 2002 driving experience. With its combination of modern performance and vintage style, it is a true driver’s car that’s ready to be enjoyed."
