SOLD Nice 1-Piece Euro Dash. No Cracks. Not Perfect.

Price: $650
Location: Thousand Oaks, CA


Description:

Cleaning out my garage...next up is a nice one piece Euro dash.  German plates for heater controls.  No printing for the lighting/wiper speed knobs and lighter.  European cars used knobs with symbols instead.  Much nicer, actually.

 

No cracks or surface damage anywhere, EXCEPT that someone drilled four small holes in the face of the dash to mount an unknown and better forgotten item...  I think the holes are small enough to be filled discretely but I haven't tried.  I took a close-up photo for this listing.

 

The dash has the German metal back plates for the heater controls.  Also has the air vents mounted on the back, but the plastic broke at the mounting points--probably in shipping to me.  Since it's not visible, I think you could do a repair to keep everything together, but that's up to you.  If you have vents, and you probably do, then just use those!

 

I originally planned to use this in my 1973 tii restoration, but decided to keep it simple and stick with my nicely covered dash, french stitching and all...so much for authenticity! 

 

I've posted a bunch of pictures, but let me know if I missed anything.

 

Price is $650 as is, where is, in Thousand Oaks, California.  If you need shipping, it will cost a premium because of the box size.  I will charge actual shipping cost.  It was packed poorly when I bought it, so I think I'd take it to a shipping store for a more professional job.  Also not cheap.

Nice dash, will it work in a early 2 piece dash car? Glove box fascia? Steering column surrounds?

Yes, according to the parts book, the later one piece dash is backwards compatible with the earlier cars.  They kept obsoleting the old parts when they came out with the later designs.  But you might want to verify that on the Forum!

 

I don't have the glove box fascia or steering column surrounds.  Didn't need them at the time, and didn't come with this dash when I bought it.

 

It's really nice aside from those annoying little holes...

Here is the relevant page from the parts catalog.  This was evidently part number 51 45 1 828 074.  It is backwards compatible with most of our cars, and fits the USA 2002's as well (though the Euro version was obviously not used in the North American market).

Great score for Nbristow01.  I scored a crack free one piece Euro spec 02 dash at an automotive flea market in Ludwigshafen Germany in 2004 for 120 Euros.  I mailed it back and carefully cut a hole in the dash for the tii clock before installing it in my tii.  I love the look of the no fasten seat belt billboard on top of the dash.

    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
