I am not aware of the one piece carpet from Strock carpets.

i have re-installed a poorly fitted one piece carpet on my ‘76 and then replaced it with a multi piece set from the now defunct Bimmer Parts Co.

The multi piece set fit much better than the single piece set.

 

i recently ordered and received a multi piece carpet set from Esty for my ‘75. It is beautiful!

much better than the previous multi piece set I installed on my other car.  Although I have not installed the carpet kit from Esty, the initial inspection shows it to be of extremely high quality and well made.

 

happy shopping.

BTW, no such thing in BMW nomenclature as e10. 

 

Hmmm!

The '02 Club, Germany, thinks different. Being in Germany, could they know something we don't?

Once again...the original 1600-2, two door sedan body shell was factory coded as E114 (see the centerfold artwork of the 1600-2 in the factory's orange 2002 history book). 

 

Apparently between its introduction in 1966 and the introduction of the touring, BMW started their numbering system over again (thus the E3 and E9).  So when the touring body was designed, it came next in the nomenclature and was designated E10.  I think the confusion is with the motor's internal identifier, M10.

Les, that is incorrect.  This subject has already been discussed ad naseum.   At no time in-period was the BMW 2002 sedan referred to as an “e10”, it has only come to be incorrectly referred to as an “e10” by some within the last ten years.

 

However, I’d certainly be open to seeing proof otherwise.  BMWclassic has disavowed e10 as referencing the 2002, but they aren’t infallible.

I did not mean to detract from the posters topic, but the E10 in the profile name and title of the topic was killing me. Blame my OCD ?

 

BTW, I initially made the same mistake when swimming the murky BMW waters early on. Not my intention to make anyone feel bad.

The "E10" nomenclature for the sedan goes way back--at least into the 80s.  Dunno where it started but it started appearing in aftermarket vendors' parts catalogs and spread like Kudzu--and seems to be just has hard to eradicate.

    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
