ALPINA Gauge Cluster


bluebmw

Recommended Posts

Up for sale is my replica, euro-spec ALPINA silver dollar cluster.

 

I carefully built this to full ALPINA spec with the correct black silver dollars, black trim rings, ALPINA-style tach, and adjustable redline needle!

 

If ALPINA built your 2002 in the early 70s, this is what your cluster would look like. The 200kph speedometer makes this cluster a euro-spec unit, as opposed to the more common 120mph speedo.

 

Everything has been tested and is in working order except the odometer. The uber-rare euro-spec 200kph speedo functions properly, and the adjustable redline needle is quite the conversation piece!

 

Bid here on eBay:

Nice looking cluster, but What's the deal with the Odometer?

I'd actually be quite interested in this unit.

Thanks!

 

When I tested it, the odometer went up to "001" then stopped, as if it was slipping. This seems to be a common problem, and DIY fixes have been documented on the FAQ. I didn't mess with it because I've never repaired an odometer, and this rare unit was not the one to learn on!

Wow, that's a tasty bit of kit bluebmw!   

Every day, growing weaker on my "this time, I'll keep it stock and original" ethos.  

Really trying to keep it original.  Again.

I normally charge $125. You should also ask what Palo Alto Speedometer or North Hollywood if you are in CA. Another option, I will be at SoCal Vintage with my tools. Bring whatever you want fixed to that event. The cost will be discounted but can't tell you what until I get there. We will have a booth next to Jeff Ireland right in the middle.

Ha!  I wonder how many 'yeah, ok, I'll only do it if i can swap it back to stock in an afternoon' projects can be compiled together before one loses the trail completely...

The auction ends tonight at 7PM (PST/West Coast time) so don't miss it folks!

 

The current bid is less than half of what the poorly-done fakes were bringing recently on eBay ($600!). This one is very well done and has all the cool details that will set you apart from the crowd. Take a look here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/252501746614?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    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
