2002
Engine
Mount Problem-
Even
the leanest, meanest driving machine has its weaknesses.
The 2002's Achilles' heel is its left subframe
motor mount bracket. Years of hard driving and
engine torqueing cause a small crack to develop
along the edge of this bracket. Once it's cracked
there's no going back, unless, that is, you bring
your vintage BMW to Terry Sayther Automotive where
we will use our "patented" 2002 bracketology
to repair and strengthen your front subframe.
After we repair the cracks in the subframe, we
reinforce the bracket with a welded-in strengthening
plate. No more cracks, no more Achilles' heel,
better than new. Now get out there and drive hard!

Oil
Pan Modification- One problem
for us to overcome in using the S14 M motor in
the 2002 body, is subframe clearance for the oil
pan! This oil pan is just too big to fit with
the narrower engine area in the '02. This means
that it's modification time, let's shorten the
oil pan to allow us to install this beast.

M3 Transmission Sensors on a 2002 5 Speed Transmission
-Here's some cool photos of Rhett getting the M3
transmission sensors section cut out of their original
bell housing and fit to the E21/2002 5 speed bell
housing, (which did not use these kind of sensors
during the time Getrag made these transmissions).
More photos coming soon. |
