Do I see two broken wheel studs?

 

Yikes. I bet that got your attention!

I’m trying to decide if its abuse or neglect that causes something like that too happen…

Now looky here, you! I know where you live! :D

 

... There's still 3 studs in the hub. I found one a few feet away. I think it was traumatized and trying to escape. :D

 

Me, and no one else, has had that wheel off in over a year. I'm still thinking about how it could have happened.

Um.  Forgot what I was going to say.  Sorry.  Sorry about that wheel, too.

Ah, NBD thanks. I do have a spare E21 turbine so... but the 13" Michelins are hard to find in US last I looked. They were getting worn anyway and I was heading towards replacing the set.

 

I find the whole thing oddly amusing, being as I apparently didn't kill anyone, I suppose.

 

I don't think my wife joins me in that perspective, though.

 

Now I just have to figure out if someone's trying to kill me :)

Ray’s sarcasm, my thoughts exactly.

Occam says 'Dammit, Ray, that thing had been loose for a year and you never noticed???'

 

or maybe your nuts are shortshanked....

 

Since you've not found the wheel, are you even sure there was one on it in the first place?

 

We are staying remarkably focused for 'please delete'- OP, sorry, we'll wander off soon enough.

I think the wheel was deleted to a parallel universe. I guess I should have spent less time steering and more time looking in the mirror to gauge trajectory.

 

:D

 

Those backing plates are pretty stout!

    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
