Friends,

I will post some representative photos of the final (well, I do have a few more things to do) results of the project soon.  Meanwhile, here are photos of what came out of and what went into the car during rehabilitation of the underbelly (suspension, clutch, brakes, diff, and axles).

PS:  Steve, you have shamed me into thinking seriously about putting an angle grinder to the rear bumper...

Then my work here is done!  ?

 

The car is just so drool-worthy!

 

Best regards,

you really need to cut the rear bumper and install Euro license plates lights

No need to cut.  Euro center rear bumper sections are still available from BMW--and since US (uncut ones) aren't you'll have no trouble selling the newly plated one you have.

Some of you wanted to see photos of the interior of the rehabbed tii.  Attached.  I gutted the interior and did a rehab as follows

  • Steering Wheel:  The best part of the entire car!  This steering wheel is from the 1973 Rivera 2002 my wife and I drove as our only car for 34 years.  Therefore, I quite enjoy being well qualified to love both square tails and roundies.
  • Door Panels:  new boards (Aardvark Racing), batting, and vapor barrier
  • Sound Deadening:  fake Dynamat; chimney sealer; just as good; much, much less expensive (Lowe's)
  • Carpet (Esty)
  • Front Seats:  E21; German corduroy and vinyl (Aardvark Racing)
  • Rear Seats:  original; German corduroy and vinyl covers (Aardvark Racing)
  • Radio:  ~1974 Blaupunkt with an ear-shattering 4x6 speaker; MP3 Jack
  • Floor Mats:  Chequers (Coco)
  • Glovebox (Flock It!)
  • Handbrake:  tight; no slop at all; four clicks and locked (williamgruff kit)
  • Fire Extinguisher:  halon; under driver's seat (Bracketeer)
  • Seatbelts:  original; refurbished (Al "bluedevils")
  • Enigma Orange Button:  manual On/Off for electric cooling fan

Driving it is the best way to sort things out. Keep a pad of paper with you as you drive.

But...looks like it will be a short list.

    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
