Recommended Posts

I have zero affiliation with this, just passing along what I found. I just bought one of these and I was just passing the info along to others who may need a late model center grill. These are NLA and when they were were about $250-300. This one popped up on eBay at $145. It says new (reproduction?). Mine shipped and will arrive today. I’ll post back the quality but mine is beat up pretty good and after the respray stuff like a dented and dinged center grill bugs me lol. He has a few more and it may be a good option if u need one.

I posted on this item a week or so ago, they are total crap.  Believe me, you will want a refund which he did for me with no questions asked.  They do not fit, wrong contour, wrong side dimension and on and on.

I received mines today. The chrome is nice but the black slates were not attached correctly making the fitment suspect. They would wobble side to side once installed. If they seller works on the fitment issues it would make for a good replacement. I am sending this back and bought a NOS from a reputable company for $275, ouch!

The sides are the wrong shape and don’t cover the headlight grilles, it is too flat as well.  It truly is junk, I don’t know why he keeps selling them, he must’ve bought a bunch.

Did anyone get any pictures of how it fits?  I am wondering if this is "can make it work" or not even close situation.
 
thanks

The one I received had sanding scratches under the chrome and a bunch of rust spots in the shiny chrome.

    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
