Euro Spec Speedo Question

Go to solution Solved by Gordon,

Recommended Posts

In my parts bin, I have a Euro spec 02 instrument cluster that I picked up in a flea market near Stuttgart in 2008, It's all black (71-73 era) with a 200 KMH speedo and a clock in place of the tach. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that all 1502, 1602,& 1802 came with a 180 KMH speedo, 2002 has a 200 KMH speedo and 2002tii had a 220 KMH speedo. Can anyone confirm that?

Ray, Thanks for the tip, I went to Real OEM and it didn't show anything so I went to the Walloth & Nesch webpage and checked their speedo's that they had for sale. The speedo's they have on sale confirms that 180 KPH speedo came on 1502, 1602, and 1802. As Steve mentioned above, his 2000 touring has a 200 KPH speedo so I'm pretty sure 2002's received a 200 KPH speedo and I've been told by numerous sources that the tii has a 220 KPH speedo. I'm guessing that the turbo speedo is 240 KPH???

jgerock, I have the same brochure in my literature stash, I believe they are saying the tach is an option instead of a clock which came standard on most 02 Euro spec models.

You are right Gordon,

 

180 speedo is for all cars with non-2-Liter-engines with the only exception being 1600ti - 1502, 1600-2, 1602, 1802. Shows correct speed in combination with a 4,11 differential.

200 speedo is for all single-carbed 2-Liter cars with differential 3,64.

220 speedo was mounted in 2002TI - only early type with silver middle part and chrome ring - and all 2002tii. For the all-black tii speedos there are two types: One is for use with the 3,45 differential that came with the early tiis, other is for use with the 3,64 diff that was mounted in the roundies later.

240 factory speedo with white crossed lines is from turbo with diff 3,36.

 

There are some other and very rare 240 and also 260 speedos that came from Schnitzer and Alpina for the chrome and all-black types.

 

Best regards, Lars.

Lars, Could you tell me what this speedo in my 02 is off of?

A late model (74-75) UK spec tii.

Lars, thank you, that answers my question. As I thought, I have a 71-73 Euro spec instrument cluster from a 2002 in my parts bin.

    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
