BMW complete '73 Inka project... Pics & link

[TMK-001]

For those of you who are in the know, BMW have been ground up building a Inka 1973 2002Tii in a workshop in the forecourt of their head office. It has been completed in time for the 40 year anniversary of the '02 shape.

The car is manufactured from a very straight body and chassis and over 4000 parts still available from the BMW parts catalogue.

Looks much like I reckon your car will after it get's some new paint Todd - only difference is the colour and those flash wheels you're after!

I hope my car looks that nice! I have to get onto some parts from BLUNT... I have been busy and I had forgotten abot getting back to him :-( It has taken so long that the parts I wanted and couldnt afford have become parts I now want to fit before the car goes back together!

Wheels are onhold for the moment... I want everything, but I also have an awesome offer for a house, so I am caught between a rock & a hard place financially.... :-o

A set of cocoa mats are on my list, too, John!

That steering wheel looks mighty nice, too! Anyone got one of those for sale???

WOW that is so sweet!

The console seems to sit further underneath the dash than on most cars I've seen. This looks more "factory" and less "add-on" but mine stuck out a bit. I like this look! Removed mine but I might stick it back if it fit like this.

I had the details for the cocoa mats around somewhere - they are available from your local BMW dealership as part of the Motoring Tradition range in a number of colors.

did they have it refirbished or is a new one from MT?

The mats are still available for about $120 per set. Nice roundel on the foot rest.

.......to buy and send over the matching driver side CoCo mat!

I have those black and white mats from BMW, they are nice but I'm not sure why they took out the driver side mat before taking the pics?
