Let’s Brake Our 2002s!
The brakes on a BMW 2002 (and most cars) are made up of several systems: Hydraulic, Boost, Apply, Warning, Balance and Wheel Brakes. On a 2002 these systems are usually robust and very effective at their job of converting momentum (more correctly, kinetic energy) into heat and then dissipating that heat to slow or stop the vehicle. The 2002’s brake systems don’t normally require much TLC but they definitely require periodic checkups and maintenance.
For this Tech Session, we will provide a quick overview of all the systems involved in braking, some tests of those systems that can be performed on the car, and a list of recommended maintenance. For the finale, we will attempt to perform an adjustment of the rear brake shoes on live camera with no safety net! If we survive, you’ll discover that this often-overlooked job yields great benefits including faster, straighter stopping and a parking brake that actually keeps the car parked where you left it!

2002AD has been in business for almost 50 years now, growing from a 2002 dismantler/used parts seller/service business in Sun Valley, CA. They've expanded their PARTS sales business over the years, and now sell every part for the 2002 whether it's used, new, rebuilt, OE, aftermarket or performance, over the phone and through their on-line catalog. 2002AD also has a large SERVICE business as well, servicing mostly 2002s but also CSs, E21s, E30s, E28s, E24s and every other classic BMW model, being one of the few remaining places owners of these cars can go now since BMW dealers and many independent repair garages are no longer touching older cars. 2002AD does RESTORATION of 2002s also, and they receive cars to be restored, or have A/C, suspension, 5-speed transmission and other conversion work performed from all over the US as well as from Canada and Mexico. The variety of their restorations range from daily-driver paint jobs up through full nut-and-bolt restorations, and everything imaginable in between. In addition, 2002AD does car SALES too, and has a thriving 2002 and CS car sales business. And they sometimes import Euro-version 2002s themselves, to supply the demand for 2002 Turbos, Euro-version Tii's, or cabriolets here in the U.S.
