I am absolutely astonished, I don't how but some hours before i saw this vid i was thinking: How cool would it be to have a V8 2002 and boom YT served it. How crazy is that?
Phil, absolutely dumbfounding - your skill level is over the top! The M5 motor looks like a factory fit. Amazing! More young people need to learn how to use their hands!
This was the first car I drove long distance when I was 14, yes 14, with my father. It was a 1973 2002 and was an incredible car. Now living in the Munich Germany area for 22 years and I now drive a 991.2 Turbo Porsche but I so miss that 2002. I would take this orange 2002 with an M5 any day of the week. Well done man!!!!
I agree with goheat 77. How can anyone in their right mind find something to dislike about this build. The workmanship and finish is absolutely terrific. If nothing else recognise the ability of Phil to do such a build.
Dude, hats off to you for having the balls to cut against the grain of purism and probably value too, in order to fulfill your own dream. I think that you've built yourself a unique and beautiful car.
I used to roll in a stock 2002 35 years ago and it was the most exciting machine on the roads in Galway. Kieran Mullen was a stunning driver. The things he did were magic!!
All I can say is "WOW" awesome build and all you did to make it work! So very impressive! Most don't and can't comprehend how much you've done and accomplished in your build. Much respect to you, enjoy that machine👍
This is one of the coolest car builds i have ever seen (and i watch way too much car stuff on youtube). Very very nice and very impressive since this is your first build. So clean and so pure!
this is amazing.. I am pLaNnInG on doing this with an LS motor. I'd love the purity that Phil achieved but the simplicity and cost of an LS motor... cant beat it
Hey Dude! You did a great job! I got the same round rear lamp, in the same color in 1989. It was an automatic transmission one, built in 1972. That was pretty seldom in Europe, cause less then 5% were built with automatic gearbox. I liked this car very much! A truck hit, sealed the car to death. At last, I sold it to a car mechanic from the local BMW dealer, cause this guy had likewise an automatic 2002. So the car finally found its end as a spare part donor and not directly at the car graveyard. Today, I got 2 BMW's. An E46 touring and a classic 1502, from 1976, with the big US- rearlight. Greeds from Germany...
I've owned a 72 and a 75. Back around 2002 I emailed a few BMW guys on forums asking for advice on how they would go about a 1972 BMW 2002 V8 build. Everyone of then stated it was a waste, couldn't be done or just didn't respond. I have always wanted to do this and I love it!!! I best she's a beast!
Oh my god! This is just.....Sorry I don't have words to express the joy i'm feeling watching this build. I mean, I was trying to achieve 2 hp from deleting the mechanical fan and installing an electrical fan but after watching your video I think I will throw the towel down and just enjoy my puny 45 hp tired engine as it is! Sorry but this is insane.
Dude, the 2002 was my first car... and this, especially in the inka. So damned beautiful - all without addressing the beast of a s62 in it. Half the weight of an e39, I can only imagine.. Good god man, this thing has to be a rocket.
Man, oh man, did you hit the home run with that car build!I could not believe the sound you got from that engine. Some people won’t like what you did, me, I love it.By the way, I’ve seen a lot of things sold on Amazon or eBay, so now I need a gallon of that engine sound.You did a great, great build.This is a very good restore hot rod to say the least.Thanks for posting and sharing with us.
I was dreaming of smth like this !!! v6 or turbocharged 4. But what you have done is just Waaaaaaaa. Bravo. And what a great sound on such a tiny vehicle
If I were to built a 2002 I would do almost everything different. That said your car looks amazing, I bet it drives amazing too. You did an outstanding job here. Love it.
My friends Sister had a white 2002 when we were kids, it's a strange car, and caught my attention back in the day. Great machine you have refurbished there.
I might have tried to keep some of the trunk usable, that really depends on if you want to use the car as a driver though, but very few criticisms on this build.
maaan, that's one of the best builds i've ever seen, from the concept of keeping the car's original overall look to the engine to the interior, just waaaaaw !!!
Hats off, a bow and a standing ovation. The epiphany (a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being) of epic proportions. And it looks good also. Well done!
That's an astonishing piece of engineering and scarcely beleivable that you achieved that on your first ever build. Congratulations! I liked the video with drone footage as well. That showed the car off beautifully.
Love BMWs old and new, and you practically gave this one a second life. Awesome looks, sound, and it "radiates" all the care, attention and time you put into it. I would choose that car any day, I bet it drives beautifully. Enjoy :)

Sorry my comments are to the video production, and not the car, but I think I have given my fair share of credit to my ingenious husband for his built quite enough. Sig Thank you again, and I didn't get to see the whole video on FB, so seeing it now on RUclips, I saw the credits. Again dude, you didn't miss a beat, all credit is given. Love the special mention to Mrs./Baby Dixon and Jen!!! You have great talent with production, I'll be following, and hope one day goggle and RUclips are paying you for your efforts.
Absolutely beautiful! Top quality work. This is the best cart I have ever seen anywhere for any money. I would have loved to see a progress video on the build of this wonderful beast.
Beautifully constructed. This guy is mechanical engineering genius. This car cannot be priced. Only at owners discretion in other words. "If he wants few mill that's what it is! Fookin legend
Man! This is one awesome 2002 Bimmer! I use to own one years ago while stationed in Germany and the sporty of hot rod 2002 was the fuel injected BMW 2002tii.... great job in your build and I will follow you on here to see what else you’re going to do to it..... safe travels my friend!! 😊🇺🇸
Good God! What an insane build! And an incredibly well done one at that! It's show car quality, for sure. And it sounds WAY better than any M5 I've ever heard! Beastly! I'm finding it hard to believe that this was your first build. VERY Well Done! P.S. - Post more footage of that beast! Please?
Phil, your eye for detail and craftsmanship are both off the chart! You have built one awesome car. It would be great to see it in person so you need to bring it to one of next year's M1 Concourse Cars & Coffee. That stretch of Oakley Park road, even though it is short, is one of my favorites in the area.
I am absolutely astonished, I don't how but some hours before i saw this vid i was thinking: How cool would it be to have a V8 2002 and boom YT served it. How crazy is that?

This deserved a Petrolicious or even Jay Leno video

Nice name hahah
@Mark Grudt Thank God he was only momentarily delirious, lol.
Gorgeous car...had a 2002 in '73 and a 320i in '77. Miss those cars....miss being that young. Enjoy......
I love when someone with Phil's talent decides to take a classic car and bring it to the next level performance wise. Amazing one off Bimmer!
I´m a BMW car guy from bavaria and I grew up with the 02 s. LET ME SAY SOMETHING:
I DON´T LIKE IT: I LOVE IT!!
"Yeah, ah...This is My first car build"....lol...Amazing first time build!
This was the first car I drove long distance when I was 14, yes 14, with my father. It was a 1973 2002 and was an incredible car. Now living in the Munich Germany area for 22 years and I now drive a 991.2 Turbo Porsche but I so miss that 2002. I would take this orange 2002 with an M5 any day of the week. Well done man!!!!
Wow, how can someone watch this and dislike it is beyond jealousy. This is a fantastic build, keep it forever if you can ❤️
I agree with goheat 77. How can anyone in their right mind find something to dislike about this build. The workmanship and finish is absolutely terrific. If nothing else recognise the ability of Phil to do such a build.
Extremely impressive. Your attention to detail is off the charts.
Even though it only plays one song, the sound system in this car is bad ass!
I've always been amazed and intrigued by someone who can take parts from other cars and make them work together. Nice work.
Man, I've had trouble getting OEM replacement parts to fit. That car is dreamy.✨💎✨
Dude, hats off to you for having the balls to cut against the grain of purism and probably value too, in order to fulfill your own dream. I think that you've built yourself a unique and beautiful car.
I like it and I'm glad you kept it all BMW also.. no need for a Honda motor when that s62 makes power and noises like that. Congratulations
I used to roll in a stock 2002 35 years ago and it was the most exciting machine on the roads in Galway. Kieran Mullen was a stunning driver. The things he did were magic!!

You’ve created a monster! Seriously dig the color, throwback seats, and that you kep the same exhaust tip. OEM glass! Hell yes.
This is one of the coolest car builds i have ever seen (and i watch way too much car stuff on youtube). Very very nice and very impressive since this is your first build. So clean and so pure!
Wow, Wow, Wow. You are an artist with exquisite taste and obvious talent. CONGRATULATIONS and thank you for sharing with us !!!
It doesn't get any better. This is perfect.
this is amazing.. I am pLaNnInG on doing this with an LS motor. I'd love the purity that Phil achieved but the simplicity and cost of an LS motor... cant beat it

Thanks for watching, sorry to hear about your old 2002!
I am not worthy to even view this stellar project. Total excellence.
Max Nix totally worthy! Thanks for watching!
IT IS AMAZING....THE BEST 2002 I'VE EVER SEEN!
A miracle that you managed to fit the engine. Well done! Love the dash!
I had a 74 2002 tii these cars are the best BMW ever made, V8 is mind blowing !! Beautiful work
I've owned a 72 and a 75. Back around 2002 I emailed a few BMW guys on forums asking for advice on how they would go about a 1972 BMW 2002 V8 build. Everyone of then stated it was a waste, couldn't be done or just didn't respond.
I have always wanted to do this and I love it!!! I best she's a beast!
Love it! can't believe there's no roll cage though, brave man to trust those A pillars!
"this is my first car build", i cant imagine what kinda car he'll make for the second build.. so humble but also beast at the same time
LOVE IT !!
Oh my god! This is just.....Sorry I don't have words to express the joy i'm feeling watching this build. I mean, I was trying to achieve 2 hp from deleting the mechanical fan and installing an electrical fan but after watching your video I think I will throw the towel down and just enjoy my puny 45 hp tired engine as it is!

Well done , beautiful job. I learned to drive in a 2002 back in 1977 and I loved it. Nice to see someone doing something different. Paul. U.K.
Outstanding car, thanks for sharing!
Many of them drove on the streets, when I was a little boy.
Greetings from Germany
Beautiful built. I always like the combination of modern technology with the look of the 70s. Well done, great workmanship. 1A!
Dude, the 2002 was my first car... and this, especially in the inka. So damned beautiful - all without addressing the beast of a s62 in it. Half the weight of an e39, I can only imagine.. Good god man, this thing has to be a rocket.
Your car drips cool....you have made a classic that I can safely say we all want....
Stunning build. Love the color and fit of the M5 engine. Looks almost factory.
Man, oh man, did you hit the home run with that car build!I could not believe the sound you got from that engine. Some people won’t like what you did, me, I love it.By the way, I’ve seen a lot of things sold on Amazon or eBay, so now I need a gallon of that engine sound.You did a great, great build.This is a very good restore hot rod to say the least.Thanks for posting and sharing with us.
stunning car, i remember that colour from my childhood, couldnt be more beautifull
these 2002's are so sweet and you have done it justice in spades. Really nice and top quality.
I was dreaming of smth like this !!! v6 or turbocharged 4. But what you have done is just Waaaaaaaa. Bravo. And what a great sound on such a tiny vehicle
That is by far the cleanest 2002 Build I have ever seen!!! Good color choice too!!!👍👌😍😍😍
If I were to built a 2002 I would do almost everything different. That said your car looks amazing, I bet it drives amazing too. You did an outstanding job here. Love it.
Excellent job. These older cars are so rare in England. Great garage too. 👍
Amazing work! You can feel love given to this car. Great! work dude.
Wow, i had 3 BMW 02 Series in the 70's. This is a awesome work.
The standard of work in this build is top! Well done Phil!
I couldn't agree more with you... phenomenal build
then you havent looked at the interior once, the stitching was obviously done by someone with parkinsons
oh he did it himself, sorry but sometimes you gotta admit that your not the best for the job or train a bit more
Your first effort is a masterpeice.
Very well done.
Looking forward to your next creation.
He's already purchased the platform... I, for one, am very excited!
Awesome, much hype!
Amazing build and quite an achievement!
I love everything about your car. Beautiful build.
My friends Sister had a white 2002 when we were kids, it's a strange car, and caught my attention back in the day. Great machine you have refurbished there.
Top notch work, humble owner. American Hero!
This, Sir, is a masterpiece. A wonderful build car. I love it.
BMW’s first Naturally Aspirated M division engine in a 2002?? That is a wet dream!
Holy shit dude, I love everything you did on this car. The interior quality is top notch! It even matches your hair!
K.J. G. I actually only did the video, Phil is the BMW Master... thanks for the kind words!
LOL!
I might have tried to keep some of the trunk usable, that really depends on if you want to use the car as a driver though, but very few criticisms on this build.
maaan, that's one of the best builds i've ever seen, from the concept of keeping the car's original overall look to the engine to the interior, just waaaaaw !!!
Seriously!
do you need someone to tell you it's f amaaaazing ??? man i really can't find enough words, it's just great
Outstanding build! I would suggest widening the front bumper and flares to cover the front wheels.
That is exactly what I dream of doing to my 73' BMW 2002! Beautiful work!!
Congrats youngster, absolute great job.
From an old timer that knows.
Hats off, a bow and a standing ovation. The epiphany (a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being) of epic proportions. And it looks good also. Well done!

Thank you for the nice video of this car.
I have only BMW, i like this.
This is what it's all about! Unique home made beast. Congrats!
Extremely nicely done! one of a kind, way cooler than a lot of $100k sports cars on the market. Build quality looks great and the sound is awesome!!
Amazing build. I wish we could see more on the driving impressions of the car.
Good job Phil. The car came out amazing. I’m sure you’re next build will be even sicker.
He already has one in the works!
Sorry my comments are to the video production, and not the car, but I think I have given my fair share of credit to my ingenious husband for his built quite enough.

Really means a lot, thank you so much Misty! This was so much fun to make, thanks for letting me take over your garage for the day!
Absolutely beautiful! Top quality work. This is the best cart I have ever seen anywhere for any money. I would have loved to see a progress video on the build of this wonderful beast.
absolutely gorgeous !
right on man, that's a lot of modifications and a ton of dedication!
Amazing car, great build. Also, I love the way you colour matched the car to your hair.
lol
Loved watching all of this, ultra high quality and attention to detail, sir...I can't say enough how sweet the finished product is.
How can anyone dislike this?? it is just incomprehensible..
Agreed!
Because of the Japanese parts. It's part rice burner thanks to this douche.
Front tires stick out just a tad too much for my taste but overall, a pretty cool restomod 2002.
some people in the world are mentally ill.. that car is stupid amazing!
I love rare old cars like the 2002 and i love the M5 V8 engine too, you have combinated both, absolutely perfect work. Greets from Germany.
So fuckin lovely sounds at 10:46min - I LIKE - I LOVE ❤️❤️❤️
My DREAM car right there!!
That's what I'm saying!
You are "The Man"... Great job!
Wow the noise the noise ....love it

Agreed!

P.S. - Post more footage of that beast! Please?
It is possible... it's getting cold here but we've definitely discussed doing another shoot.
No kidding not very many cars get my attention like this one I got to admit it's a little too loud for my taste gollu I like that car. SaaaaWeat!
Brilliant and over the top build! Congratulations on an outstanding car
Although this is historically not correct but i approve this build. It is well made and sounds intoxicating. Greets from Germany.
Phil, your eye for detail and craftsmanship are both off the chart! You have built one awesome car.

Jeff Sailor must had missed you at M1 the few times I went
Wow! Das ist echt richtig cool! Ich bin begeistert!!!!!!
This is bloody brilliant!!! Fantastic job. My one regret is selling my 72 2002. I miss her!!
Sensational build....I want it!
I’m a Mercedes w126 guy and love what you did, what a beautiful car and hell out of work, great hob and respect
Dude the video bonus footage at 10:44 is insane
prostock3 yeah that engine sounds so good!
Always lead with the exhaust...it's not bonus...it's the video people want :) - 11:49 ftw!
I'll keep that in mind for sure, thanks for the feedback!
Very impressive transformation indeed...................!! Well done Phil........
Beautiful car
You’re quite the artesian
Very inspiring. My next build is going to be a 2002. Congratulations!
Thank you and good luck with your build!
Great Car !!! Love it, Built not Bought is the way to go. One of a Kind great job.😎👍
The sound is so incredible on the outro I got choked up. Amazing build.
Good Job!
I wish we could do these things in Germany without losing our registration.
Here is a no sense.....
jpsr20det it sucks.
Nice work Sam!
My god what an amazing build! Gorgeous and bad ass! Hats off to you sir!
major work, major money sunk into this car. Its something that he will keep for a long time to be sure.
