What’s Up with all These Struts?

If you're referring to the upper strut mounts (bearings), BMW doesn't (and never did) make 'em.  Unless you end up with some sketchy Chinese part, chances are buying an "aftermarket" strut mount will net you the same part that BMW sells, minus the roundel on the box.  Just be careful with "country of origin" on the parts--even some if not many of the traditional European manufacturers source parts from far, far away, where quality may not be quite as important...

    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

    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
