I have one that I believe is from 1967 in my 1971. It looks like this although the face plate is a bit different and the outer knobs are chrome. Anybody have any info on it? I wish I had the original to my car but the previous owner removed it before I towed the car off his property. This one was given to me by a friend, although it doesn't work. Still looks good.

Got the Frankfurt back from the shop. Looks like there was a short inside. Most of parts that were replaced were typical resistors and such, with the exception of the AM/FM toggle switch that broke an

Not sure if this is common knowledge yet or not, but it was news to me to learn that Blaupunkt filed for bankruptcy in late 2015 with a complete liquidation completed in early 2016. I only discovered

I would think that most repairs involve replacing soldered connections, resistors and capacitors which are universal in nature.

Need to see the paper label on the side to confirm the radio’s model year and year of manufacture.

Thanks Steve, 

I just moved so the car is getting shipped right now. I'll pull it out and report back on the number when the car arrives. 

 

Cheers,

Chris

For reference here are a few pics from a Blaupunkt brochure (from the late ‘60’s I think). I love the page for the “Snob” that shows if installed in an NK.

 ....Are there any real differences between these and Frankfurts?  

 

 

 

Probably not, David.  I do believe the “Bavaria” model name appeared pretty late in the ‘02 era. Do you have a Bavaria with a paper label, to see its model year and production year?

 

Thanks and regards,

 

Steve

No, I am looking at options for rebuild.  I currently have Japanese early 80's Frankfurt.  The plus on this unit is that it is wired for 4 speakers with fader, if I want to do that.  Negatives, out of time period and the DIN plug is out-bound for amplifier and not in-bound or suitable for iPod/ adaptor. 

 

If I did a Frankfurt mit adaptor, I would go for a stereo unit. There have been some Bavarias up for sale, usually a bit less pricey than early Frankfurt stereo.

Did BMW offer different dash parts for the NK 1800/2000 to fit these radios or were they just cut during installation? The left, small triangular portion of mine is missing and I’ve been unable to find the part. 


Although I’m not familiar with NK radio installations, I’ll bet a photo of your car’s installation would help clarify the issue you raise.

    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
