In my view, as with on the E30 systems, it is better and cheaper to source R12 and keep the system as installed rather than try to shoehorn a larger condenser in with unknown cooling capacity.

I know mine. It's "more" :D

 

You've seen the original condensers, right? I think there's room for improvement :)

 

Themis, nicely done! The next step for me will be whatever window tint blocks the most heat without looking hideous.

 

Cheers,

Ray

Funny you mention this, my friend just installed a new clear 3m window tint that blocks UV and a large amount of radiation heat

Correct.  I have only used it a couple of times since installing, and only in mild temps, but it gets ice cold instantly and gets so cold that it needs to cycle the compressor even on its coldest setting.  I will of course need to report back on its performance at 90 degrees!

 

 Reporting back at 91 degrees.

    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
