New Trapezoid Mirrors

Thought I would pass along to the group that Coupeking has new reproduction Trapezoid mirrors available on his website.

I saw these last weekend and they look terrific, are made in Germany and even have the original blue tinted glass. At $200 shipped they are cheaper than BMW charges and it includes the mounting base and gasket.

Wow - just paid $18 more each - wish I'd known about this before

Bell BMW - Where please? GIS shows several

Is fuel efficiency really what we need most desperately? I say what we really need is a car that can be shot when it breaks down.

Don't have a new trap mirror, but several old, and that gasket that BMW sells does not match the base of the orig trap mirror.

Yes, Bell BMW the best kept secret for low prices.

The question is, where is king getting these mirrors? He sure didn't spent 1000K on a re-manufacturing process, he is buying from somebody else, like the seat belts he sells, from Beam's in Oklahoma which you can get from me at lower prices. Let's find the real source of the mirrors, I bet it is in far east! They cost probably around $60-$70 each. Good profit margin.

I have two orig Trap mirrors on my '74 Touring. They are not blue tinted glass. I think the blue ones became available later, but I could very easily be wrong.

the glass has a noticeable light blue tint. So does the recent MT repro pax side mirror I got from Max a year or so ago.

The very early style (67-70) mirrors came both with blue tints and clear glass--there were at least three different manufacturers.

    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
