It is actually clear to us that the future will be electric. But we still have to get used to the fact that the past is increasingly being electrified. Yes, vehicles like that old mini, a BMW E9, historical jaguar and legendary cobra make that absolutely clear. And now it even has one BMW 2002 Caught. Curtain up for the Bavarian Econs 2002th from Germany. The vehicle was built by the Colombian Nicolas, who moved to Germany to work for BMW. He started the project about 3 years ago by buying a donor car (BMW 02/114) and removing its combustion engine (M10 four-cylinder). Despite the conversion to the electric powertrain, the vehicle is still rear-wheel drive, but the power now comes from one Tesla electric motorthat of a Battery pack from a BMW i3 is fed. And the vehicle is even fully approved as an electric vehicle, which is what you can see on the E-mark can recognize.
Tesla drive & i3 battery
Specifically installed is a 120 kW electric motor from a Tesla that is now rear-mounted in the BMW. Its 163 hp are from a 33-kWh battery fed, which is distributed between the front and rear. However, the majority of the battery cells are in the trunk installed. The BMW i3 battery can be charged with 50 kW and the maximum range is included about 200 kilometers under ideal conditions. According to the video below, the electrified classic car has driven a good 2021 kilometers since October 9.100, which means the set-up is complete everyday use and is working. And although a state-of-the-art powertrain is installed, you can tell that the 2002 doesn't. He likes contemporary ones BBS wheels with Michelin semi slicks in retro look and is a little deeper. And it should not remain unique. The 2002nd can be pre-ordered from Bavarian Econs.
