Steve,

My 11/68 build 2002 has the exact same 'early saddle' which is more orange. Interesting that the basketweave is also different, the earlier seat truly has the basket type style. Anyone hav ...

This seller only wants twice the going price for a repro plate. Licenseplates.tv asks $75 each and they are of a very high quality.

Matt,

E-mail sent re: wheels.

Peter, Thanks, I would be interested in what you find out. There are a few stickers for my Coupe that I have photos of as well.

I think it will work just fine but it will take quite a few cans to get it on thick enough. For my engine bay I bought a quart of paint and used just about a pint plus reducer and hardener in 2/1/1 m ...

Where can you get these photos reproduced as a sticker that looks like the original quality. I would love to reproduce this sticker on my `69.

If you don't have any serious rust issues, why deal with POR15? You can achieve better results by just scuffing the existing paint with one of those sandpaper-like pads and some solvent and then smo ...

Early `69 with small pads and single lines?

Thank you, I need your e-mail address. Contact me at cmacha at socal.rr.com

Does anyone have a spare ~ 5mm x 10mm rectangular plastic nut that the headlight adjuster knob screws into and is held in place by the headlight bucket? Each bucket has two and I am missing only one. ...

Coupeking has lots of the Italian side markers in excellent condition.

Joseph, Somtimes you can talk the AAA into checking your VIN to see if it is in the system and they will tell you the plate number. That is how I found my e9's original plate number but I didn't hav ...

Armond,

Send me an e-mail. The repro plates are aluminum and they don't paint the back side. All plates were steel until the late 123LXX series or there abouts. At that time the spacing on the ...

Peter restored my Coupe. There is no one more knowledgable than Peter when it comes to older BMWs. The best relationship is face to face so you get to know each other. You can email me as well.

...

Beginning in July of 2009 they will add Black Plates to the YOM program but the car has to be a `69 or earlier. Has anyone else noticed how expensive these plates are becoming on eBay? That is why. ...

Mike,

How could you possibly even consider missing Concorso at its brand new, world class, state of the art site at the Marina Airport. Just think, all of the concrete, the wind off the Pacific, m ...

Mike, I would love to have the refurb article on the early mirrors. Thanks.

Pat, By tramline you mean follow the grooves in the pavement? They are rock steady on the e39, the earlier version does wander a bit on the e9 but I attribute that to the age of the car. And they a ...

My 1974 Chamonix 4 speed 2002 was purchased 12/74 from Vasek Polak Manhattan Beach CA with sunroof but no A/C or radio and was $6900 out the door incuding tax/license. I drove it for 8 years and 140K ...

I have the Turanzas on my e39 and they are quiet and long wearing. They are a very good touring tire, an earlier version is on my e9 in a 15" size, I have had them on a 230SL as well as a Toyota van. ...

Peter S. has them (www.coupeking.com).

Steve,

I will be caravaning up from the OC with Andy, Ray and the gang in my Malaga e9 and hope to park with the 02s and other classics. Thanks for organizing things. There hasn't been much inter ...

Square weave is heavier and denser than import loop which in turn is heavier than domestic loop. Go for import loop if square weave is out of the budget, however, it is only a little cheaper.

I won't ever deal with Ben Miller again. It took 1 month to receive the wrong item and wrong quantity. Another 2 weeks to get him to reply. It was another week after he received my return before he ...

Hey Ray, got a new e-mail address or did you have a little too much vino?

I think Jeff is right on. NADA and other value guides do not track private sales, they are just one indicator. Ask Coupeking what he gets for nicely restored 2002s.

Patman,

Beautiful car. You can get blue plates from licenseplates.tv (they won't mail to CA) with your MY2002TII and the letters II will be in the `74 configuration that won't look like a roman nu ...

I bought a new `74 from Vasek Polak in Manhattan Beach. My `69 has Helane Motors BMW in Alhambra. 4J Motors was another one in LA.

Mike,

I didn't keep the e-mail from BMW but it was built 11/29/68, delivered to Hoffman 12/10/68 and sold in Jan or Feb of `69 by Helane Motors in Alhambra CA. The orinigal key chain still has one ...
