Sacramento CA Turbo sighting......


BarryA

Recommended Posts

Turbo sighting, aprox 4 pm Friday 12/14, Sacramento CA – Chamoinx, appeared complete and correct but a bit dirty, turbo script on the rear panel a bit askew, may have had some prior bodywork on the driver’s side (turbo hocky-stick graphic looked a bit wavy on the driver’s door) – white CA plate 3GGV122.

Middle age guy driving, got on US 50 eastbound at Power Inn, off at the next exit (Watt Ave) – never seen the car before, might have been on a test drive from Schatz & Krum (shop’s just south of the freeway, between Watt & Power Inn). Anybody familiar with this one?

Hello all Sacramento 2002 enthusiasts. I just got my 74' Carb, Green. Bought it from a guy in Modesto. He did a good job restoring the car, mainly the exterior and upholstery. However, a few days after I bought it the car caught on fire. YEAP!!!!

Fortunately, I was able to extinguish it quickly, so no major damage done. I'm almost finished fixing it but I have a couple of wires that do not have a home yet.

If you are in Sacramento, or nearby, please reply to so I can look under your hood for those cables.

You can reach at 916-599-3340.

Daniel.

Hi There!!! I bought it from a guy named Gordon, in the town of Snelling,CA, about 20 miles East of Modesto.

Mine is not running right now due to one fricking wire that I don't know where it goes. What are you doing his weekend, perhaps we can hook up. I would love to see the wiring from other 2002 to compare with mine.

New Update...

I finally have my 74' running!!! I'm not sure if I did it right but it feels good to see it move on its own. I have a cable going directly from the ignition coil to #12 fuse (was advised to do that). I couldn't find the 'black' cable from the ignition key to the starter, like to book shows, so I have a cable straight from behind the ignition key (black cable) to the bottom of the starter. I have driven the car for about 2 hrs (about 25 mins at a time) and it's fine. My black coil is getting a bit hot but I'm getting a ballast resistor (did not have one) on Monday to help with that.

I would greatly appreciate if someone can look at the starter solenoid (where all the cables come in for the starter) and trace back the black one that goes to the ignition key. I don't think it will go 'direct', it may merge with other cables.

Cheers...

Dan...Sacramento,CA

    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
