New one for me, missing lower 1+?? of the dipstick


Mudi

Recommended Posts

Just went to check the oil after a 100+ mile drive today in my 71 and found the lower inch+ of the dipstick is gone. It looks to have fractured about .5 inch down from where the stick starts to flatten out... the effective measuring length is now only 11 3/4 inches. Wierd, it was there last weekend.. Any thoughts???

First thing tomorrow the car goes up on stands and the drain plug is pulled. I hope to find the missing chunk..

It dropped out when I changed the oil.. Still missing about 1 inch, I think.. anybody know the true length of a 2002 dipstick...

It looks like I had a rotating part that partially rubbed the stick and then it fractured...

Now, how to get that last section out of the pan... Will try another oil change after a day of driving..

    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
