Toyota 3S-GE–Powered 1971 BMW 2002 6-Speed

This vehicle is an unusual blend of Japanese innovation and German craftsmanship. Originally manufactured in Germany by BMW in the year 1971 as a BMW 2002, it has since been lovingly converted into something quite distinctive. The most notable modification is under the hood where you'll find not the original four-cylinder engine but a replacement from Toyota's sporty lineup-the mighty 3S-GE powerplant. This isn't just any 3S-GE either; it's been mated to a smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission, adding an extra gear and an element of contemporary driving enjoyment that would have been unheard of in the original BMW's day. Despite these modern touches, the exterior retains much of its classic Bavarian charm, providing an elegant balance between old-world design and new-world performance.
