Need to clean my shorts after seeing how much Maximilian wanted for 1 rear shock and spring.  Over 300. Per. I dont. believe they can't be found somewhere else.  So I'm putting the call out!  Any idea's would be great! 

I have seen some in Germany, but won't ship to States. Bummer!  Sway bars would be nice too, but being pre 66 complicates  things. Those little difference add up(simple) NOT!!  Thanks 02faq?

Brandon, contact KONI USA and see if they still make shocks for a BMW 1800, they used to. BilStein shocks are better, and may not be available anymore. New rear springs will make the car much nicer , They had a tendency to sag after a couple years.   The front sway bar is the same as a BMW 2002, and the rear sway bar is the same as an E nine coupe.  I got my sway bars from Carl Nelson, who is great to deal with and has a Tisa.You can still get both, and sometimes find the  sway bars used.

 

Sincerely, Peter

    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
