1972 BMW 2002 (S62 powertrain)
This 1972 BMW 2002 was built by Phil Dixon at Dixon Motorsports in Michigan. Phil's original plan was to run a Honda S2000 inline-four however he changed his mind and kept it all BMW. Under the hood sits a 4.9 L S62B50 V8 from a 2001 E39 M5. The engine makes 394 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) at 3,800 rpm thanks to the factory individual throttle bodies. The drivetrain consists of a 6 speed manual transmission, custom driveshaft, and E36 rear end. There was no way the factory chassis could handle that level of power so Phil reinforced the chassis and body everywhere. The little BMW rides on a 240SX suspension with E30 rear trailing arms and 320i manual steering rack. The car is snappy and quick and when the hood gets popped at car shows peoples jaws always drop.
