This sleeper belongs to Ray
Koke in California.
Jeff Tighe did most of the mechanical work when he was at
Carl Nelson's shop in San Diego, La Jolla Independent BMW.
The motor has just been brought up to Evo Sport spec - see
below. Cooling is
by a 2 speed electric fan in front of an '02
turbo radiator. By a quirk of fate Jeff is still keeping
her in tip top shape after Ray took her to another BM specialist
closer to home and found Jeff had moved there too.
Paint and body work was done in southern California, overseen
by a private shop that specializes in '02 and coupe restoration
(Peter Sliskovich, sometimes known as "coupe king").
The car was mostly restored.
It has a tii clock, E30 M3 mirror with maplights, 320is Recaros,
new carpet and most other hardware bits new, renewed or very
good condition.
