Thanks all for the kind messages and taking the time to either watch and/ or comment. As i eluded to in the video, it's great to be able to document on the forum and chat with like minded enthusiasts. When you're holed up on your own in a garage working through things, its great to be able to share with people who care and take the time to respond positively, there really are some great people on here. The fact the guys at Pistonheads are willing to send pro videographers/ journalists to the other end of the country to capture all of this is just fantastic and i dont think i could thank Ben, Cam or Harry enough. The more response the videos get, i assume, the more that will come out and there's no end of fantastic cars on the forum to film, in addition to the ones that have already been captured! Thanks again, Scott
Forget your £300,000 modern Ferraris and the like, this is a proper car. Hope you enjoy it Scott, you should be very proud of what you've created! PS "Compliance" is so important in a road car !
I really liked it when you said you wanted to build a car in your garage, drive it to the Nürburgring and do a couple of laps! I'm in the proces of finishing my 2002 and the first thing I'm gonna do is drive to The Ring and do a couple of laps. I live in the south of Holland and lucky me: it's only 250 km (155miles) to get there. Awesome build, really really nice. Nice colour, nice rims. Nice everything! Well done!
A beauty I owned two 2002s both 73s and also a 72 tii Nothing drives like an 02 One of the best loved cars ever and I hope to get into Another tii someday Awesome job on the car lad Must be a real blast to drive Cheers
What a great car Scott, and so well done without going too far. I remember my dad bringing home a new 2002 in 1968 when a was a little kid here in California, and no one knew what the car was! Now many years and so many BMWs later (including six M3's), I will always have a soft spot for these cars.
What a great looking and sounding Tii Scott. I had a 1974 Tii Alpina A4S. (RHD) I had it restored. It ran Kugglefischer slide throttle injection. The engine was rebuilt (prior to my ownership), apparently by a racing crew in California. Compression was 11.1. Getrag dogleg gearbox, Bilstein shocks, uprated anti roll bars, etc, etc. World Sports Cars did a big feature on it back in the day. They are super rare these days and very very expensive. Why oh why did I sell it, idiotoI!! I some pics if anyone is interested.
Met Scott and his stunning 2002 up at Hartside a little while back, what an unbelievable build it is. Lovely lad who was more than happy to talk to me and posse of other blokes who gravitated towards it and explain the build, sounds the nuts as well! Top job 👍
What a brilliant build. Hats off mate. Totally concur on the death of the forum. Its a real shame to lose those niche areas where like minded individuals can convene and document. I would be totally lost without some of the knowledge that is still documented on them (E30Zone is invaluable). Facebook groups etc are OK but just don't hold the same level of information. Lovely build though mate and love to see it out on the road running free. Very happy that you saved her from a lifetime in boxes. I'm off to go and read through through your build thread now.
Hell yeah, as a 2002 owner I'm very impressed mate, I've got 4 02's in my collection, almost all to Ti spec, a coupe, a touring, a cabriolet & a sleeper with an E30 M3 engine, would like to get a turbo & a Tii, but there hard to find & quite expensive, great video, Rj in Oz
An absolutely beautiful machine, it's like a piece of art. It's a perfect picture of how I'd like one to look if I was lucky enough to ever have one. Congratulations fella she's a keeper that one.
Amazing car With his passion owner , I have been following the process of the car over years.This guy has a very good grasp of the subject and culture of 2002 history. Greetings scott and thanks for the delicious content piston heads
Hello: I had a '73 ti. It was heavily modified, but not quite as much as yours. I really love what you've done,the fender flares and all. Very, very nice!
Top bloke. Nice car. It’s great to remember BMW used to produce cool-looking cars, unlike today’s munters - styled to appeal to owners of small chains of hair salons in Essex.
Fantastic 2002, I like the way its described as a rolling project despite looking pretty much perfect to me. I guess that’s the way with project car, always more and probably part of the fun!
I had a 74 2002 that I spent about 20 years driving and tinkering with. Mine was pretty good mechanically. It was eventually line bored, fitted with forged aluminum 10.5:1 pistons at 2.2L, balanced crank, flywheel and front pulley, Ti head, Tii distributor, MSD, high output coil, header, Mikuni Side drafts, 5-speed, 15” mag wheels with 225, 50 series rubber and Tokico springs with camber plates. I should have changed to a limited slip rear end and I should have dropped the gear ratio to make it quicker. It was very fast on the highway but could have been made quicker. It was a little tall geared. Eventually the wet climate got the better of the floor pan. My nephew has it now and I hope to see him make it into a race car someday.
What a lovely car. Well done on the work you've put in. Looks perfect with those turbo arches and front spoiler, glad you didn't go for the rear spoiler as it looks so much better as it is. Proper credit to you. Just finishing my 1983 Colt Lancer Turbo, which I hope will drive as well as this. Can't wait.
This is a really cool car, I know Scott and can confirm it's a really well put together car and gets driven properly and normally nowhere near as slow as in this video 😎
I think Polaris with polished belt trim and no knee trim is the best combo on these. It works really well with the lines. I bought mine it had all the freight shipping information in the glove box. Delivered to New York in 1974. Very cool to have. What's interesting about yours is that it has the '74 grill, but '73 mirrors (I believe), and early tails. Kind of a mix of both years?
well done. what a fantastic build. now enjoy it every day and don't tuck it away, cos us petrol heads want to see and hear things like this out in the wild.
I've had a few over the years My first BMW was the 2002 1972ti that l bought back in 1974 I'm in the process of restoring a 1973 2002tii Mine is Agave green with Ireland engineering stage two suspension and the 5 speed conversion with LSD With covid it's a been a pain getting basic parts!
When I was a kid I used to knock doors car cleaning the man had three of them I only used to wash the white one the other two sat on the drive rotting away always wanted one dropped on the deck 🙃 beautiful car
Bro I got 2 tii for 30+ years still haven’t been able to get them running gone through a lot with mechanics that screwed me got a new motor in one need help can you help me

Man! I remember seeing your car at the Nürburgring! If you remember I'm the one who took photos of your car at Pflanzgarten parking lot
I really like the finished look. The roll cage is a must on these old cars.
Forget your £300,000 modern Ferraris and the like, this is a proper car. Hope you enjoy it Scott, you should be very proud of what you've created! PS "Compliance" is so important in a road car !
Such a clean and tastefully done retro mod .. Timeless design. Well done Scott
My dream car back in 1975, congrats Scott, you've done a mighty restoration and great to see you enjoying driving it!!
I really liked it when you said you wanted to build a car in your garage, drive it to the Nürburgring and do a couple of laps!

They truly are magical little cars I must say Had a 72 tii Inka orange
Superb. Just superb. It's looks and sounds wonderful. Excellent work, truly.
Wonderful to see his passion and pride about this gorgeous car. Well done!
My favourite car build on Pistonheads. Welldone Scott and welldone PH for documenting this. Great Production!!!
Well done man, just got myself a 2002 so let the fun begin!
That's a beauty. Really nicely filmed too.
Absolutely beautiful! Roundies are my favorite car of all time. Yours is one of the best.

Damn! Such a nice car and a great build.... Well done dude!
Thank You Piston Heads for the story !
That’s a very sweet looking ride. I love everything about the car. Every single thing👌🏿❤️
What a brilliant build. Hats off mate.

Wonderful! I used own a Colorado orange ‘72 2002. I installed a single side draft Weber carb, headers, Bilstein shocks, Recaro seats, etc.
What an amazing car. Credit to Scott on building it so well. Amazing content 👌
Had a hard on for this car for the last few years. Stunning build that gets driven properly. Absolute minter.
Such a great example! Spoken to the owner on Instagram a few times about his car. Super nice and humble fella too 👍
Amazing, you and the car so deserve this feature mate. 👏
What a fantastic car and build, well done Scott!
Lovely car. Met Scott at the spot this was filmed and ended up talking for hours. Great guy and fantastic car. Sick video 👍🏼
Hell yeah, as a 2002 owner I'm very impressed mate, I've got 4 02's in my collection, almost all to Ti spec, a coupe, a touring, a cabriolet & a sleeper with an E30 M3 engine, would like to get a turbo & a Tii, but there hard to find & quite expensive, great video, Rj in Oz
Absolutely perfect Scott you nailed it. Wheels, colour,interior, drivetrain….the list goes on….spot on 🙌🏾.
Nice build mate. Very nice. Not a bmw guy, but certainly appreciate the older stuff like this.
Fabulous car, fabulous owner, fabulous video!
An absolutely beautiful machine, it's like a piece of art. It's a perfect picture of how I'd like one to look if I was lucky enough to ever have one. Congratulations fella she's a keeper that one.
Great work. Tidy job. She's a credit to you.
Simply beautiful 2002tii. Hard work paid off if it looks and makes you feel like that!
Amazing car With his passion owner , I have been following the process of the car over years.This guy has a very good grasp of the subject and culture of 2002 history. Greetings scott and thanks for the delicious content piston heads
Awesome Scott!
Come across really well that. PH done it proud 👏
Black number plates are so cool
Hello: I had a '73 ti. It was heavily modified, but not quite as much as yours. I really love what you've done,the fender flares and all. Very, very nice!
What a machine! Love the Petrolicious style film.
What a stunning car. I always loved how the back end squatted on the road.
What a cracking little car. Congrats on the build. Really cool drivers car!
Don't know why but post 80's BMWs do nothing for me whereas pre 90's I love.... this is a thing of beauty, well done that man.
Top bloke.
Nice car.
It’s great to remember BMW used to produce cool-looking cars, unlike today’s munters - styled to appeal to owners of small chains of hair salons in Essex.
My Dad had a Red one, fitted Koni shocks, Wolfrace alloys,and front air dam , it felt fast then!
That was my first viewing of a OH video. Suffice to say, I’ve just become a subscriber.
Beautiful car 👊🏼
What a fantastic celebration of a wonderful car. Please do more of these videos.
Awesome car 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Sounds amazing 💥💥💥💥💥
Great story 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Your 2002 would look great alongside my E9 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Makes me smile!
The air dam and wheelarch extensions look like 2002 Turbo parts.
One of the greatest looking cars of all time.
Fantastic 2002, I like the way its described as a rolling project despite looking pretty much perfect to me. I guess that’s the way with project car, always more and probably part of the fun!
Awesome car, job well done!

Always loved this car Scott! Very similar to my 105 Giulia Super. 185hp and 2100lbs.
Epic car and super guy building/maintaining it by himself, good to see Scott and the car getting some recognition!
Very Nice Job
Amazing car and Top bloke.
Enjoy your labour of Love man😎
This is a really cool car, I know Scott and can confirm it's a really well put together car and gets driven properly and normally nowhere near as slow as in this video 😎
Love this car and Scott is such a great guy 👍🏻 he's always willing to offer help and advice!

Amazing car, i love everything you've done with it. Spot on 👍
Absolutely class Scott
Glorious.
Awesome machine...
Those rims… how do I get a set? Amazing car.
Did you add power steering? That’s the biggest need in my ‘73 tii. Also what brand is the suspension you mention?
Stunning. Congrats
hi do you think's BMW 2002 engine and suspension are same with 1971 BMW new class 2000 ?
Viking Job! 🤗✌️😁

Brilliant.

Love the car (mine was TJX 510L) and love his syrup

Dope ride.
Filmed on the Stanhope to Barney Castle road?
I was wondering where it was filmed
Bee you tee full!!!!
Lovely lovely thing..
Es gab auch einen BMW 2004 und 1804....
It’s so beautiful….😮’
As someone with a 2002tii with the dogleg gearbox, it’s a bit sad that the gearbox alone is worth more than the car
I remember awhile ago people on pistonheads hated anyone even touching anything oem spec.....thank fcuk they've pi55ed off
