BMW 2002 1971 Chamonix

It's a fancy shmancy programable' distributor that will change you life (and your car's performance). After owning that car for awhile I always  thought that distributor was a 45 year old 'loose goose POS.

 

One can set up centrifigal and vacuum advance curves. Better than free beer and hookers imho

 

*consider getting the tune + model as it can be set up via a smart phone ap.

 

They cost a bit but if you buy outta Europe they are cheaper.... BUT probably harder to claim on the warranty. I bought from the US distributor and paid around 500 (worth ever single penny though). Your car is awesome and deserves one.

Thanks!

 

A lot of this is way over my head... ??‍♂️  I have some reading to do. 

 

Who should I trust to install something like this, and how much would I expect to pay? 

 

I'm in the Bay Area.

well if you can find TDC on #1 you can do it yourself..BUT if your not that mechanical' you'll have to take it to somebody. It's really quiet easy once you find TDC on the no. 1 compression stroke.

 

Go online and fine the BMW 2002 123 installation video. I'm watching football or I'd find and send you the link...damn niners are lame without Brieda running the ball....

    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
