Online car auction sites like Bring a Trailer aren t just limited to selling the finished product. Today, you can find everything from illuminated dealership signs to racing flags and collectible artwork. Of course, you can also find a ton of different parts. From Porsche bucket seats to built engines, scouring an auction site can be a project car DIYer s dream. If you fall into that category yourself “ and particularly if you have a penchant for vintage Alpina and BMW parts, or a project 1966-1971 02 Series of your own “ you ll love a collection of old BMW and Alpina parts that just popped up on Bring a Trailer.
It s Practically the BMW 02 Series Starter Kit
Even those outside the immediate 02 community “ myself included “ will see a handful of parts that every good BMW 02 seems to require. I m talking about stuff like Hella fog lights, a wooden shift knob (in this case, Alpina-sourced), and Recaro bucket seats. A full set (five) of Alpina wheels are included, recently reconditioned and sporting new Pirelli tires.
The collection of BMW and Alpina parts has a lot of rare and interesting components “ like an allegedly new old-stock (NOS) close-ratio steering rack. For those unaware, the 02 came with a standard steering ratio and a quicker, close-ratio steering box (sometimes referred to as q/r, for quick-ratio). These are pricy but offer great at-speed turn-in. An additional expense “ as one owner puts it “ is no-fun grunting and wrenching at parking lot speeds.
In short: bring your own 02, fix yourself up with these on-auction parts, and you ve got what some would consider the true Ultimate Driving Machine. Original Alpina booklets, a nice pair of Coco floormats, twin Weber carbs, and a Momo-for-Alpina steering wheel are just some of the other highlights. We could endlessly list the goodies, especially when it includes awesome extras like a framed Alpina jacket with in-period motorsport pictures.
Get Them While You can
With a healthy mix of NOS parts and quality aftermarket components, and over 200 photos in the listing s gallery, this pile of parts is certain to garner attention from just the right person “ and hopefully, make the seller and buyer happy. A word of caution for anyone who plans to bid – the parts are currently in the Netherlands, and probably won t be cheap to ship. Oh – and the cool green 02 shell pictured is, sadly, not included, but a crate to ship the stuff is. The auction ends on Saturday, January 11 and is viewable here: collection of BMW and Alpina parts.
