WTB earliest hub caps


Flamingo 5

Recommended Posts

WP,

    The dog dish caps are available from the dealer. now ,the beauty rings, not so much. I looked for a long,long time and finally found a new set in SanFrancisco. Some guys Dad bought a 1600 new,drove the car home and installed mags and put the hubcaps and rings in a box till I bought them. The biggest problem is the rings get dented from prying off the hubcaps. That is why the early 1600's have the little foot on the opposite end lugwrench.

Hello I am wondering what dealer do I contact to get the dog dish caps. I contacted my local BMW dealer and they have not responded at all(that’s typical for New York State though). I also don’t much care for the beauty rings.

    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

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
