Euro Turn signals

Recommended Posts

FYI on the Classic Velocity article.https://www.classicvelocity.com/1976-bmw-2002/2019/9/29/turn-signal-economic

In 2004, I scored a set of NOS Italian 02 turn signals for about 120 Euros at an automotive flea market in Ludwigshafen Germany. I also scored a set of used regular Euro 02 turn signals in very good condition for cheap (40 Euros if I recall).  Fast forward to 2010,  the restoration on my tii is complete and the Italian 02 turn signals look out of place on my Sahara tii.   I installed the regular Euro 02 turn signals and it looked so much better.  IMHO, Italian 02 turn signals look much better on a dark color 02, they look out of place on a light color car like Sahara, Chamonix, etc....   I posted an ad on the FAQ and sold them in less than a day for $300. I'm sure they are now worth more than double that now. Here's a pic of them, no regrets selling them.

Yup, good NOS set now a days will probably fetch $1000 bucks. '02 prices are getting nutty.

John,  Now you need to convert from diving boards to Euro bumpers to complete the Euro 02 look. ?   Your pics show how much Italian 02 turn signals blends in with light colors. That's why I went with amber Euro 02 turn signals in my 02.  Different strokes for different folks.

I have a set of flat amber / Euro lenses - with the price of the Italians getting up there I should pull & hide them away!  1974 USA tiis were the only ones in the world made with diving boards, so they'll stay.  I do love the slim chrome bumpers on later cars.

I love Euro signals on a Euro-spec car that doesn't have the additional reflectors added. I found some a couple years ago and put 'em on Otto, and I'm contemplating going back to stock U.S. -- I don't feel they enhance the cars lines but instead point out the (unfortunate IMO but I get it) addition of the US spec reflectors and side lights.

    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
