Time to come clean: I'm officially a P-car owner

Hi Jim, I'm joining your ranks soon.

 

Just picked up a 1997 C2S that you've probably seen on IG.

Should be a daunting experience. My wallet cries tears or joy and pain. 

 

 

 

Also noticed something else going on with the C2S seller.   Have you driven one of those "late model" P-cars?   A former neighbor let me drive his 996 4S cabriolet.  A little too much for me.  It was a beautiful dark blue color.

Since it is sitting in my shop, will chime in for jim...

Well, the starter solenoid is dying...would not start when it got hot.  (After nice several hour drive we did in the 911 and my m3 a few weeks ago) Waiting for part!

Ha.  He's lucky to have a friend like you Marshall.  From what I remember, the starter is tough to access, even with the car on a lift.

 

I hope Jim does his normal photo documentation of the solenoid swap.

Ugh.  Zero done on the P-car since the long drive July 4.  Starter investigation needed.   Work responsibilities are kicking my :wacko:.  The blue car is being worked on.  Window fixed in the tii.

I totally get it Jim.  I was hoping to do a bunch of work myself on the fleet - and didn't get nearly as much as I wanted done.   It's tough to get wrenching done when life gets in the way.

 

Looking forward to your starter work pics/thread.

    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
