same. I like forums that’s why I’m on this one. If I wanted YouTube videos I’d be on YouTube. But influencers gotta influence. Or monetize. Whatever.

A roundie is properly a Type 114; if you want to be really technical, IIRC an E10 is the squarelight shell; the Touring is designated 114K.

Mike,

 

Please read the pages in the attached file. BMW of North America called all USA '02s from 1966 thru 1976 TYPE 114 in their September 1989 update for the 'BMW Vehicle Identification Manual'. Nowhere to be seen is E10.

I have yet to see a BMW publication that shows E10.

 

AND, the Touring is E6

Your summary is on-point. Cheers

We are calling this one "Episode 2.5" since it isn't super heavy on cool or tech content. We're nearly done with episode 3, which is just about non-stop sparks, cutting, welding, etc. It will be super interesting. Check out the little update and we will keep on moving the build along!

 

Don't mind the plasma ray run... We didn't take a picture of paint coming out of the gun for a thumbnail...

We finally finished Episode 3 of our 1972 BMW 2002 race car build! In this video, we continue fabrication to get the unmodified E46 (~2001 BMW 325i) subframe into our 1972 BMW 2002 racecar project. The coilovers we are using are from a 2019 BMW M4 (F82 chassis). They are JRZ RS2s, which are independent compression and rebound adjustable with dual rate springs and a broad range of dampening settings. We built adjustable camber and caster plates for the highest level of adjustability possible. We had to raise the subframe up 2 whole inches into the stock 2002 frame to get the geometry to be correct at ride height. This was a real "devil is in the details" part of the project. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video must be worth a few more

 

The link to the video is in the first comment. Go check it out. Comment here or on YouTube if you want to encourage us or if you have questions

I thought you guys would be happy that I didn't make another video thumbnail with a ridiculous expression on my face....

Really enjoyed the frame fabrication, the mirroring was cool.

 

Would love to see some of the other vehicles you’ve already done… to provide a little context to the 02
 

and… yes thank you for resisting the obnoxious thumbnail.
