It sounds like all 74s had them, and 75s built through December 74 had them. We have no evidence yet that any 76 ever had them, and it's likely that most 75s do not.

 

No, wait, Jimmy: Chris’s ‘75 has them! Oh, I see, his is an early ‘75, a.k.a., “No Pocket ‘75”! ?

 

How do we have so little knowledge of something that is so easy to verify? ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

No no no, the late 75s are no-pocket 75s....

 

Oops. Sorry! 

 

Still, there is conflicting data out there, despite Les’s reference to the parts manuals and the December 1974 cut-off.

 

Back in the days of oil crises, 55 mph speed limits, and CB radios, my handle was “Pocket Rocket.” Clever, no? ?

 

Now I’m having second thoughts: should it have been “No-Pocket Rocket”? ?

 

Best regards,

I'm like everyone and thought ALL '02s had the pocket. When this post came up I went & checked the rear panels that had come from 3 1976's that I parted. Yep, no pocket, so then I looked up the parts book.

To be exact, the parts book shows the change from 2002 2362329, 2002A 2381316 & 2002tii 2782901. All these relate to December 1974 production.

Does this mean the rear seats are different?

 

 

I would be surprised if all of the rear seats are the same from the 1600-2 all the way up to the last 1502. I know at least upholstery was different over the years. 

 

In terms of difference in width due to the absence of pockets, they appear to be the same dimension. The difference in the interior panels (they're not really "door" cards are they?) is that the front or inward finished piece of the pocket is absent on most 75s and 76s, (I'm guessing exceptions are retrofits or market-based differences) leaving the part looking unfinished, damaged, particularly disassembled, relative to the cars with the finished pocket. You can't really tell with the bottom seat cushion in place (unless you reach down there or drop something in there) but with the cushion removed it's obvious.

    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
