Wait. What? Is this your car — gorgeous one-piece dash, Frigiking A/C, and Becker Grand Prix stereo — or your goal?

Haha, if only you saw the list of work that's been done to it since those first two items! I don't think there is a single mechanical part that hasn't needed work or replacement.

Excuse me, Dave-from-friendly-Colorado. New Yorkers do not even make eye contact, ever! ???

 

Anonymity is the secret to jamming 8 million people into a small space... ?

 

Oddly, I’m guessing we might have the only two ‘02’s with Becker Grand Prix Stereos with Bluetooth. Must be a totally-cool New York thing. ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

I put a 800’ ship under mine to get it home. But once it was home a nardi wood wheel (followed shortly by new door cards and shift knob)

When I purchased my first BMW (a 1974 2002tii) back in 1986, it had these "weird" 6Jx13 minilite magnesium wheels on it.  I didn't like the look of those "weird" wheels, so the first thing I did was trade them to a friend for his set of the stock steel wheels.  What a dummy I was ? It had the magnesium lug nuts too...

The first thing I did was install a Mercedes license plate holder to move the plate down a bit.  It made a nice difference to my eyes.

Tightened the nut behind the wheel?

I've tried Rich. He's chained to the keyboard, weighed down by decades of BMW reference books and snapshots.

Haha, that sounds about right.

I think the first "mod" was to replace the original bias ply tires with some Dunlop radials.  The car was a 67 1602 that I purchase in Feb. 1968.
