Wheel type?

[pcarenthuz]

Hey Steve,

 

I emailed them previously.  Here is the body of their response:

 

The BMW 2002 tii VIN 2704187 was manufactured on September 29th, 1971 and delivered on September 30th, 1971 to Italy. The original colour was Granada, paint code 023.

 

I'll get it into the Registry provided I'm able to do that as newbie!

 

Thank you,

Pat

Oh my, a Tii in Granada. That’s a combo right after my own heart. And it has the Italian market FPS alloys too? Swoon... ?

 

You’re a very lucky man to have found and be able to purchase such a car @pcarenthuz!

Hi Tom,

My sentiments exactly.  I hate to say it this way but I've always wanted one of these but truthfully know very little about them. I feel very fortunate to have found this.  Buying something long distance, internationally, with a dealer you don't know is always an establishing bi-directional trust thing. I am a car guy and BMW fan but they're all later models, E24s, 28's, 30s, 39's, etc.  My uncle picked me up in his tii from the airport in San Jose in 1976 and we had a spirited drive back to his place.  It was a low 70s, dry evening and I still remember how sweet that car was.

 

This forum seems like a fantastic group of enthusiasts.  Glad to have found y'all!

@pcarenthuzBTW, welcome! Don’t worry about this being your first ‘02, we were all there at one time. Some of us have been around them and other BMWs for a while, others not as long. Feel free to ask anything, no question too small; we’re here to help everyone have the best ‘02 experience they can.

I should probably start a new thread but what do folks think about what to do with any sort of undercoating, etc?  The underside looks really clean and based on the pictures I see no apparent rust.  I clearly won't be driving it in harsh weather and she'll be garaged.

 

Oh, and loving the Italian theme with the car:

I finally received the car into Baltimore and picked it up today.  I must say, my initial impressions are very good and I am happy.  I feel it was represented well and it seems to have escaped any damage while crossing the Atlantic.  More to come!

Hey John, looks like a great event.  Provided I can get the car registered and all before now and then I will for sure.  Thanks for letting me know about it.
