I've never taken apart a 75 or 76, and have never come across anything but a 

castelated (probably technically, crenelated)  nut with a cotter pin.  

So it was probably a change sometime in 1974...

Upon further research it appears that these two words mean the same thing, i.e., to build or furnish with battlements.  I think both are appropriate based upon the ferocity of battle I am engaged in with these nuts and I must say that the castel / crenal lation has proven to be quite an effective defense!

But- a castle does not have to have crenelations.  

 

The crenelations provide the 'teeth' to hide behind

(usually for archery)

on many castles.

 

But lots of castles don't have that feature, nor archery slits.

As to the nuts, yah, I've heard them called castle or castellated nuts,

as opposed to 'nuts with crenelations'.

Yes, Ray, that can be surgically corrected...

 

It was a technicality, but, then, can you tell who did a medieval history degree, hmm?

    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
