Red vs Blue KKK tag


Anthony

Recommended Posts

Hi team, I thought this was discussed earlier but couldn’t find the thread. 
 

has anyone uncovered the significance of the red vs blue tagged KKK turbos? Are these both original? Same housing, same model ending in 1259 307
 

regards,

EB32G is the Eberspacher model number which KKK inherited. Seems that BMW developed their ETCC saloon cars in the late '60s with Eberspacher (the exhaust company), but for some reason about 1972 Eberspaecher decided to offload the turbo business and technology to KKK, who were a competitor in the field.

So maybe red plaque is early production and blue plaque later?

I completely agree with your opinion. Whatever it is, you are definitely thinking correctly. It really is. Although I don't know exactly what is being said in this context, I believe that there is room http://essaypapers.reviews/ in our world for the incredible and the inexplicable.

    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

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
