Will a 75 ignition switch work in a 70?

i bought a later 02's ignition lock cylinder for my 68 and it didn't fit, it was too big, i'm not sure if the 70's is as small as the 68 but if it is i don't think it will fit.

68' 2002, GRANADA RED

88' 325es, RED (previous car)

77' 320i, SIERRA BEIGE (previous car)

thanks for your input, this is the part i'm looking to get, in his ad(granted...its on ebay) but he doesnt specify a year, which makes me think its good for all years, but something in my mind is having me question this, and i'm not 100% sure different the 74+'s are from the older models

1970 02 Colorado Orange(sold)

1969 Charmonix 1600-2

It should...As I learned (the hard way when the lock on my early '69 broke) 68's and early 69s used a smaller diameter ignition lock cylinder than the later cars. If yours is a '70 (VIN above ca 1668700) the later lock assy will work.

cheers

    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
