Vehicle Inspection Summary Report
Make/Model: 1974 BMW 2002 — Custom Track/Race Car
Condition: Track-Prepared – Very Good Overall, Light Cosmetic Imperfections

Overall Summary:
This 1974 BMW 2002 is a custom-built track and race car with a newer restoration and engine build. The vehicle is well prepared for track use, featuring individual throttle bodies, electronic ignition, and numerous additional engine and suspension upgrades. While the cosmetic finish shows some imperfections under close inspection, the vehicle presents as a clean and capable track-ready example. No signs of structural or rust damage were observed. True mileage is unknown, due to the original 5-digit odometer display.

1. Road Test & Engine Performance

  • Vehicle required several attempts to start from cold — consistent with high-performance tuning.

  • Once running, the car idled well and performed smoothly at various RPM ranges.

  • Engine and drivetrain functioned well during test, with no abnormal noises or hesitation.

  • Throttle response is sharp, consistent with the individual throttle body setup.

  • Vehicle was not driven aggressively due to inspection constraints but behaved predictably and balanced.

2. Engine & Fluid Inspection

  • Engine bay presents as a newer build, featuring:

    • Individual throttle bodies

    • Electronic ignition

    • Additional custom engine components (full list per builder not verified).

  • No signs of leaks or active damage observed.

  • Accessible fluids were checked and found clean and at proper levels.

  • Overall presentation indicates a carefully prepared high-performance build.

3. Undercarriage & Suspension

  • Custom suspension installed (exact configuration not verified at time of inspection).

  • Wheels and fender flares installed and in good condition.

  • Front lower bumper/splitter not installed/pictured at time of inspection — buyer should verify fitment and installation condition.

  • Undercarriage free of visible rust or structural damage.

4. Exterior Condition

  • Paint measured thick in some areas, suggesting bodywork and paint build-up during restoration.

  • No signs of frame or rust damage observed during inspection.

  • Paint shows minor cracking and "orange peel" defects when examined closely — cosmetic only, no structural concern.

  • Body panels align well; exterior presents as track-appropriate but not concours-level finish.

5. Interior Condition & Features

  • Interior configured for track/race use.

  • Minimal interior components installed, appropriate for purpose.

  • Odometer displays 5-digit reading — true mileage unknown due to display limitation.

  • No abnormal odors or signs of interior damage were observed.

Summary Note:
This custom-built 1974 BMW 2002 track/race car represents a well-prepared and thoughtfully upgraded example suitable for track day use or vintage racing events. While the paint finish has some cosmetic imperfections, the vehicle is mechanically strong and structurally sound, with quality engine and suspension upgrades. True mileage is unknown, and buyers should consider this a purpose-built track car, not a concours restoration.
