Just to answer a few questions, I'll be mounting it tomorrow, looking at coil mounting in the stock 02 location, plug wires will be included & numbered, not programmable, we went with the Tii disi advance curve as a base point, Price TBA but I bought their Ford unit for my Folvo Pig Cheek project & it was $499 . we are intending it to be a simple installation with good ignition control through the rev range. Below is their blurb on their units.

Can't deny it looks good but it seems like a lot of money to end up with something with the TII curve.

Will they do custom curves on request?

As I said this is the prototype, we had to start somewhere  , they will do any curve requested I am led to believe. I will report back one I have set it up & run it , early days , early days.

The installation was completed this afternoon , so easy it's ridiculous , Tach wire & ignition wire from the coil , First set #1 at TDC ,  remove distributor , install new unit rotate until led comes on & off , remove coil, disi etc . Tightened down the unit & it fired right up ! set the all in timing to 33 degrees at 3K RPM , went for a drive, BOOM amazing , pulls like a school boy, no hesitation , no problem all the way to 6500 RPM , idles good , drove great . I am unable to drive home as we are on a Hot Rod drive tomorrow but I'll report back with daily driving behavior next week.I'll also remove the now redundant tach adapter & tidy up the wiring ,removing all the redundant wires when the test is over .

    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
