WTB 74 -76 kidney and grills both sides plus


Livio

Recommended Posts

as the title says looking for 74-76 grills both sides and kidney looking to convert my 72 front to the 74 look.

I realize this might be a little confusing, I am keeping my 72 bumper but behind the bumper the bracket bolts with two bolts each side one sits flush on the attached base inside the bumper the other has a spacer in between the bumper and bracket this spacer is cut offset from sqaure, what it ceates is a flat surface for the bumper bracket to mount. will try to get a pic if I can. that is the spacer I need

also need the spacers that go in the front bumper between the brackets and bumper (spacer that fills gap for the long mounting bolts) throw in the mounting bolts if available as well.

I have a pair of late black grills if you need. Let me know. I can send pics. Thanks

My 2002 was manufactured on September 15th, 1971 and delivered on October 22nd, 1971 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Granada, paint code 023. It was sold on New Years Eve December 31st 1971.

pics would be nice but honestly the folks I have met on this forum have really been outstanding, how far north into CT are you, I am 8 miles west on 287 from the 95 connect even closer to 684, I could drive to meet you and possibly get your thoughts on some minor issues I have with the car.

Why not just black out the 72 grills..?

I know that the reverse process (74 to 72) requires removing the kidney section and welding in the earlier, and can only assume that it will be the same, or very similar process to go your route..?

One of the first things people point out, and biggest thorn for sellers, is when a car comes up for sale with mix and matched roundy/sqare tail body panels.

Just my thoughts on the matter. I'm sure you've thought it through.

2002 newbie, and dead serious about it.

    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
