BMW 2002 Automatic Trunk Lid Opener with LED Trunk Lighting

 

Your 2002 or 1600-2 came from the factory with two different keys - one for the trunk lid and one for the doors and ignition.  Trunks keys seem to get lost.  So, many owners just leave the trunk unlocked.  Not a good idea if you carry valuables in the trunk.  This kit lets you remotely open your 2002's trunk lid electrically and remotely. 

 

The LED light built into the opener adds another feature never included in the 2002 - you can actually see in your trunk in the dark.

 

Also included is a "trunk-open" pin switch that can be used with a car alarm system, a mounting hole for a miniature switch, and a mounting hole for a standard DIN relay with tab. Use of these is optional but they're included to provide flexibility for the enthusiast who wants to use them.  Finally, the kit includes a glow-in-the-dark emergency escape handle as seen on all US cars since 2002. Never get locked in your trunk. You will need to provide the electrical hookup to a source of switched power to activate the
opener and light, but everything else is included.

 

- Works on Roundie or Square Tail Light Cars, all years and models, (except touring)
- Easy installation with simple tools that you probably already have
- NO modification to the car's sheet metal
- Is easily removable in case you want to revert to stock
- Uses BMW OEM parts where possible - used parts reconditioned and tested

 

How does it work ?  An additional method of opening the trunk is created, by the addition of a motorized actuator which works alongside the original trunk latch on the back wall of the trunk.   Nothing is changed on the trunk lid, your trunk latch’s adjustment is not affected by this kit.  There is no change to your trunk lock.   There is also no modification of the latch mechanism, except the new spring and the optional little hole that you drill to install the Emergency Escape Handle (optional, it is not necessary to install the handle).  The custom powder coated steel bracket which holds this mechanism mounts using the original bolts that mount the trunk latch mechanism.  No need to drill holes in your car’s body.  The motorized actuator and power cable are BMW parts used on later \models.  They are used  parts, Reconditioned, and tested.  Other items are all new.  You will re-use your current latch and latch mounting bolts.

 

What’s included?  Everything that you need to install on your stock car except for the electrical  parts needed to activate it (switch, fuse, etc). You will have to decide how to provide power to it and provide the necessary electrical parts to do so.

    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
