Antenna

Why mount on the trunk on a restored Tii?  The original was mounted by the dealer on the left front a-pillar, that’s where it should be on a totally restored 2002.  

 

I’m guessing the original poster is in Europe (‘75 tii) and I believe European cars are less uniform in their antenna locations.  I even recall that BMW, early on, recommended trunk-lid antennas for sunroof-equipped ‘02’s, because both drilling the A pillar and inserting the antenna cable potentially conflicted with the A-pillar sunroof drain tubes.

 

(And there are any number of U.S. ‘02’s with antennas on the right A pillar, along with early cars that used neither A pillar — my ‘67 1600-2 had its original dealer-installed antenna on the right front fender.)

 

Regards,

This car was deliverd by the dealer in Oslo With the antenna on the trunk, so keep it original.

Understood, Dennis,

 

I must admit that, in 46 years of ‘02 ownership, I have never seen a U.S.-spec ‘02 with a trunk-mounted antenna, despite BMW’s recommendation to use such antennas on sunroof cars! So I am guessing a replacement antenna will be found outside the U.S.

 

Not that it helps your search, I will note that, from 1976 until 197? — during the years of a U.S. 55 mph speed limit — I placed my CB radio antenna on the leading edge of the trunk lid. I was so cool! ?

 

Below: my ‘76 in January or February 1977.

 

Good luck and regards,

 

Steve

That’s a new one for me, John!  Not terrible like my ‘67’s right front fender antenna....?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

I am looking for antenna too Mount on the trunk, 
Anyone out there haave one ?

It will og on a totaly restored 2002tii 75 mod Golf Yellow

Dennis

I have buckets of antennas, most are telescoping. I even have a bunch of new in box trunk mount and magnetic CB antennas if Conserv Steve needs a replacement. 

I probably have a fixed trunk mount in the piles somewhere.  I'd be glad to send you one for free if you pay for shipping.  Send me a PM and show me what you're looking for.   See my post in Off Topic Discussion about car radios.

    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
