  1. What's new in this club
  2. Hi All. Last week I shared on facebook my new web page for 2002 carpet kits in Australia. We've been busy since launching it delivering in Australia and soon to NZ. Please feel free to take a look and send through any questions via the web site. 2002carpets WWW.2002CARPETS.COM.AU https://www.2002carpets.com.au/collections/all BMW 2002 carpet kits. From $550-$630. Australian made with simple installation guide for RHD cars. Various colours and options including boot mats.
  3. Sadly this sub-group doesn't get much love! Victoria spent a large chunk of this year in the most severe lockdowns in the world. Happily, last weekend after restrictions had relaxed, a bunch of us could finally get out and enjoy a drive down and around the Mornington Peninsula - a couple of shots from the day attached.
  4. Hi all, I'm after a manual roundie. Let me know what you've got! Happy to take on a bit of a project. Sydney area preferred! Cheers, Nick
  5. I put this spread-sheet together from the old Register Tom tried to instigate. I wonder if we could attempt an up to date one, maybe use the FB page to get a larger audience?

  6. It has 2 sets of wheels in case you're wondering.
  7. The car is presently in a depot in Melbourne awaiting transport. I guess a couple of weeks before I see it, but I will post some pictures when I finally get a Safety Certificate and Rego.
  8. Look forward to seeing some shots and hearing about your first drive, Steve!
  9. I am looking specifically for a White BMW 2002 manual roundie in very good condition and will obviously pay accordingly. If at anytime anyone has such a car they might be selling I would love to hear from them. Thanks and kind regards. Steve.
  10. Will be great to meet you! I'm trying to make sure my car will be ready but i'm away for the 3 weeks before the event overseas . Regardless, i'll be there in an 02 of some sort! I coordinate an '02 Register' for Victoria mailing list (along with the 2002 Owners, Australia Facebook group). If you would like me to add you onto the mailing list - flick me your email (usually just email about 02 drives, parts for sale, group buys, that kind of thing) Love to see some pics of your progress! Tom
  11. Hi Tom, How are you? The car is currently in a workshop to get the floor panels replaced. Unfortunately i cant bring the 02 to the German Auto Show, However i will be attending the event.
  12. Hey Mint - how is the restoration coming along of your car? I've pulled together a few 02ers who will be going to the German Auto Show (August 25) so if you're about, let me know mate I recently found out that W&N do flat rate shipping so that might help with keeping the cost down on your parts (eg. the floors) - unfortunately GST is now under $1k i think ... bit annoying! Tom
  13. Hi Tom, I got the engine running again but the interior needs redo, i also found out that there are some rust at the driver’s footwell and i need to replace the whole wiring system. Mint
  14. That is a very sad sight! What kind of work are you looking at having done to the car to bring her back - full paint and mechanical go over? I can recommend separate places but not a one stop shop sadly... Tom
  15. HI Team, Recently purchased a flooded 2002tii, any recommend workshop for restoration in Melbourne, Vic? thanks, Mint
  16. I've never had one repaired as tanks are still 'relatively' plentiful. I'd suggest only going down the repair path if you get desperate as you can usually pick up a good tank for under 100 bucks. When you have a good one, do a clean and reseal it (i think i used a POR15 product when I did mine 10+ years ago) and you shouldn't have to touch it again for a long time
  17. Cheers. Not on Facebook but will take a look!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Great seeing another aussie 02 being put back on the road. There are quite a few in Adelaide... Jump on the Australian 2002 facebook group too if you haven't already!
  19. I have a TON of pictures in my 2002ti wannabe project blog album. Ask away and I'll try to help.
  20. It’s a RHD car. I’ve got a mix of pieces for the bottom half but the two piece dash is likely what I’ll use. I think the 69 loom for the heater is different to what is needed for 71 heater. Perhaps only one speed. So I’ve got to work through that also. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I believe you can use a 2 piece dash in your car. Just have to get the correct heater controls and dash cluster. 3 piece dash has different heater lever control mounting. Oh wait - your car is European. Assume it has the chrome pieces on the bottom of the lower section?
  22. That’s great info. Thanks. Does the 2 piece dash from a 71 fit into a 69? I can therefore use the matching cluster? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Maybe I have that backwards.... Early cluster in later car = studs too short. Long day at work.
  24. The early cluster (silver dollar type like in a 69) has different length mounting studs on the back compared to the 71-73 black faced cluster. Make sure you test fit the one you want to use before committing. The 3-piece dash may not allow the black-faced gauge cluster to sit far enough back to secure the knurled nuts. My 73tii with black faced cluster and 2-piece dash Silver dollar type cluster from my May 69 2002 with 3 piece dash.

  26. Nice to see another Aus car getting some love. What city are you in? I'm in Brisbane. Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
