Miguel Alejandro's Inka Roundie

In addition to posts about my cars, I will continue to feature interesting local BMW's. There is a good number of nice Bimmers here in Puerto Rico.

This one is Miguel Alejandro's restored roundie. He bought it needing a complete resto, and has done a great job with it. He did most of the work himself.

Here are some pictures of the car as it looks now, and some "before" ones:

The 1976 2002

As promised on the first post, I will be posting some details on each of my cars as time permits.

The one I've owned the longest is the '76 2002. Bought it back in 1991 for $1500, needing bodywork. The original color was Mintgrun, but in 1992 I went forward with a color change to Schwarz black and a total restoration.

After that restoration in '92 I have constantly made changes to it. The car is by no means stock, and, at this moment has the following:

  • Eibach springs and Bilstein Sport shocks
  • 14" BBS wheels from an E30 325is and Yokohama tires
  • Weber 38/38 carb
  • tii exhaust manifold
  • tii brake booster and master cylinder
  • Delco 100 amp alternator
  • Five speed tranny conversion from a 320i
  • Recaro seats from a 320is (upholstered in '92 and again in 2008)
  • Custom-made carpet set
  • Reupholstered door panels with 2002 Luxus door pockets
  • BMW E24 steering wheel
  • Front Kamei and rear Zender spoilers
  • Rear bumper from '68-'70 2002 (no front bumper)
  • Italian-market amber/clear front turn signals
  • Hella 1000 driving lights
  • Hella H4 headlights

Here are a few pics (the Hella 1000's had not been installed when they were taken):
