Yet still no information on why the supply is nul for Koni and kaput for Bilstein.

Loose: Not tightly bound. Subject to motion.
Lose: What happens when you are spell check dependent.

 

1975 Malaga. It is rusty and  springs an occasional leak.  Just like me.

Good luck! I'm going through this hunt myself and have uncovered an unpleasant reality of some online parts houses. Unless you verify "I have it in my hands" with a human, they don't actually have the

I recently went through the bilstein/koni dance.  Multiple suppliers claimed in stock, only to be disappointed.  Jeff at IE actually had one front HD and a good front used HD and hooked me up.  Much a

I wonder what's up with Bilstein.  I ordered some B6 front inserts for my 911 - have just been told it would 4 weeks before they can be shipped to the USA and nobody else has any.

They recently started suppling for Toyota trucks. Both the Tundra and Tacoma come standard with Bilstein. Perhaps they're behind from that?

It's even worse. Bilstein US told me October - November for the B6 HDs P/N 34-000236 to be restocked. See email except below. I just resorted to buying a "used - good" from Amazon Warehouse and a "new - return" from ebay. The only two I could find. I'm kind of stuck after getting the rears in and installed. Hopefully neither is trashed.

 

From Bilstein:

We have no landed dates on these items at this time only ETA’s. current ETA is October –November. We do not sell direct so please check with one of authorized dealers for their ETA or stock on these items.

I do not know if Robbie P is interested but, if he is not they will be available.  $225.00 for the four. Does not include shipping.   Less than 2000 miles on the set.

    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
