Unless you have an old-style fuel pump that clears the manifold, you will have to get an electric pump and a pressure regulator. Also you will need some sort of linkage; Pierce Manifolds has good stuff. I went with a cable linkage kit from Top End Performance, which was somewhat overpriced, but works OK if you fiddle with it. Of course you will need some sort of air filter setup; the chrome boxes work OK, but be sure to get quality filter elements. You will need some sort of plumbing, like a T-fitting and some extra rubber fuel hose.

Don't forget your patience. Lots of it.

In addition to that, you'll need a) a water neck fitting without the flange sticking out the side towards the carbs, B) a metal water hose from a 320i that goes from the water pump towards the back of the block , and c) a water hose to go from that metal one to the heater. Oh, also, you'll have to decide what to do with the valve cover vent. I went with a small K&N but while that looks nice, it lets quite a bit of oil escape, making a nice film over most of the engine. I think some people use bottles, although ideally I guess you'd want it to go to the air filter.

For linkage, I took a trip to the bike store and used some aluminum plate to emulate the TEP linkage kit. I got the thickest brake cable I could get, a couple of other fittings, and it cost me about 10 bucks total.

i welded up the stock water neck and ran the hose straight to the rear using a plain ol pipe w/hose clamps as i didn't want to source the 320 parts at the time. worked fine.

I forgot about the water neck. I lucked out, when I acquired my sidedrafts I got a vintage TI water neck. But as the other post says, you can grind the stub off and block it. Or, a 320i neck works just fine.

As for the heater pipe, don' bother. Drink a few beers, meditate, and realize that: the 2002 heater really sucks; it leaks and rots the floor; it wouldn't keep the frost away from Georgia asphalt in summer; it takes up room; and the plumbing is a pain in the ass. Then remove the heater, sell it on e-bay for $125. Buy yourself some thermal socks.

Oh, and plug up the fitting at the back of the water punmp, and at the back of the head.

    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
