Mounting Location For Lug Wrench And Chock?


Recommended Posts

I'm going to blow my 2002 steet cred, but... can someone please post a pic of the stock mounting location for the lug wrench and wheel chock? I've never paid attention to them before, I don't see how to mount them under the spare tire cover, and I'm secure enough in my 2002 manhood to admit as much.

02JACKLUGWRENCHTOOLS_zpsab2fefd7.jpgthere is no wheel chock in 02's like current day BMW's

 

if you have a big bumper car, the jack and lug wrench

is mounted on the drivers side of the trunk next to

the threaded post - requires a wing-nut and bracket

to hold both down

 

if you have a small bumper - round tail light car,

they mount along side the spare tire in the well

 

AND IF YOU WANT TO CUSTOMIZE -  hit the bone yards for a E30, E34, E24 trunk lid for a

tool kit to install onto your lid

Anyone happen to know the size of the wing nut? I'm too lazy to go out and measure it myself :)

 

 

hopefully I will never have to use that accident-waiting-to-happen of a jack.

One small addition to the above:  when my '69 was delivered new, the lug wrench/jack handle was wedged under the jack, then the wing nut fastening the jack was tightened, pinning the lug wrench between the jack and the trunk floor.  No way would it fit in the tool roll that came with the car. 

 

cheers

So that wheel chock belongs in the E9. Well. That explains a lot.

 

Of course since I asked this question, the tii started running hot and pissing anitfreeze. Shit. Piss. FUCK!

    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
