The car is back from the upholstery shop and all the little niggling items have been fixed:

Just a few things left before Jim turns it over to me. He needs to sort a small electrical issue with the alternator as it isn't charging as it should. It needs one last visit to the FI Guru to get some drivability issues sorted. Finally, it needs a few miles on it just to make sure everything is OK.

The FI Guy came back and did a bit more tweaking but then hurt his back and we have not seen him for a week. Pretty frustrating!

 

In the meantime Jim got the driving lights mounted and wired. Some are going to love them, and some are going to hate them. What do you think?

Getting REALLY close to being done. We finally got the car, a dyno, and the FI Guru all together in one place. The session allowed him to work out the last few kinks in the FI. Here's how it went:

Got word from Jim and here's what's left to be done:

 

     - final suspension alignment

     - mounting the ash tray

     - confirm through testing that the front struts don't bottom out over large bumps

 

Hopeful this can all be done in time for my birthday that's coming up soon. It's one of those that ends in a zero so spending some time in this car will help alleviate the birthday blues. ?

Yeh, I don't smoke anyway but my OCD (CDO- they should be in alphabetical order), urges me to finish these last details.  ?

    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
