Some of the newcomers may not have heard about this car.

 

 

It's been a while since this car has been brought up, but here's some info http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/136219-paul-cains-3002tti-that-is-not-a-typo/

Allegedly, it's very fast. I can't confirm nor deny. 

[xferboy]

forgive my ignorance, (and I didn't follow ALL of the links), but WHY would someone put 74+ nose and tail on a 72?

Also on CL....

I love 2002's. But if I have $105K of car-shoppin' cash in my pocket, I'm sure as shootin' NOT coming home with a 2002!

For $105K, I can get a car that goes like stink, stops like stink, has today's German engineering, can be driven on my 2,000-mile jaunts without worries about reliability or parts, comes with a 50,000-mile warranty -- extendable to 100,000 miles by the factory -- and can be serviced at the corner BMW, MB, or Porsche shop while I drive their loaner. If this '02 is so perfect, why has it only acquired 2,900 miles in 9 years?

To each his own!

Regards,

Steve

I'm with you Steve! Cool car but...uh...no.

If I had the cash, this would be in my trailer heading for a track.

Much better than any new "M" whatever.

If there's a custom 2002 worth $105k, this appears to be it but, yeah, I can think of several better uses for $105k. I suppose I'm not the target demographic.

I would buy this in a heart beat, given the extra funds.  The price is less than half of what it would cost for a shop to replicate it.

 

My favorite tidbit is the accelerator pedal from the McLaren F1.

2900 miles?!?! I would have driven the snot out of it! Just glad he swapped out those e39 wheels that didn't do the car justice at all.

Great looking car I think, lots of time and money spent (obviously).  Even at $105k he might not be breaking even.  As previously stated, a lot of dough for an o2 - good luck with the sale - got it on my watch list.

I was going to quibble about little things like the VIN and front and rear treatment, but

then I saw the transaxle.

 

It's worth it.

I have the older Roundel with this car on the cover (believe Mike Self witnessed the "christening" event).  There are excellent details about Paul's build.  Lots of cardboard templates to try and get this car to work out the way he did using BMW parts.

 

Would I buy it - no.

Can I appreciate it for all the work, money and thinking that went into building it - absolutely.

[Mike Self]

Yep, I was there for its unveiling, but it wasn't quite ready to drive yet, so didn't have the opportunity to do so.  But had a great time at the unveiling (literally) party, and crawling all over it to get the details for the Roundel story.  And Paul is a great guy too.  Had a very pleasant couple of days in sunny California back in '06 (dang, was that nine years ago?)...

 

cheers

Cool car, but not $100k cool.
