1972 2002: Now with Megasquirt/ITB Goodness.


Recommended Posts

The Westco battery that has lived under my back seat for 7 years finally gave its last. I know there are lighter options, but 7 years is a nice run for a battery. I decided to buy another one just like it.

This stupid $0.05 fuse provided much stress yesterday. It popped while plugging in my phone charger to my 12V socket. Unfortunately that fuse also runs the auxiliary gauges including my AFR gauge. This also cut the signal from the 02 sensor to the ECU.

Thankfully I thought to toss a spare into my tool kit. The drive home was much less stressful. Will diagnose the reasons for the fuse popping later.

So, today, I switched from an external fuel pump to the in tank set up. I thought I was seeing signs of fuel pump failure, so I figured now was the time. I will probably change up the fuel filter set up, but it works well for now.

 

Forgive the filthy car! That’s what trunk floor panels are for. LOL

My car was purchased new here by a Dr. Norman Roberts of Seattle. I have been searching for one of these for a long time. A friend of mine sent me a link to an eBay auction with a buy it now button. Seller said it was on an E21 in a junkyard in Minnesota.

So, I ended up cleaning up some of the plumbing in and around the gas tank. Instead of the old Hengst filter seen in the photo above, I bought a filter at Summit Racing. I added some fittings, Adel clamps and things are a little cleaner.

    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
