The 74 model year had the seat belt interlock system, most people figured out early on you could just unplug the seat sensor system and the car would start with out having to buckle up this works fine but the start signal would still go through the under dash relay this relay has likely worn out and can't pass the current to the solenoid, do a search for 74 2002 seat belt interlock there is plenty of advice  on how to by pass the relay.

If everybody in the room is thinking the same thing, then someone is not thinking.

This might be the right direction . I just got a new seat belt for the driver side. But I kept the old belt and buckle and did not disconnect the wires, and kept the belt "buckled" on the rear floor.. It seems that I should be able to start the car in this scenario right. I never buckled the belt at all until now since I have owned the car and did not have this issue. I am going to unbuckle the original belt and see if this resolves the issue.

    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
