I got to drive it in 2006, and...it drove like a new tii.  Great whacking fun.

Not many of us know how that feels

La Jolla Independent BMW is the place everyone must know

I want to thank everyone who came to the event today. Great weather brought out a large crowd.  Probably the biggest event of the year so far.  What did you all think of coffee?  I think this was a great success, and I plan on doing the same at future events. 

If you took some photos, please post them to 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend,

Steve K.

Yes, I am looking for the light switch. The latch I have works great, but the switch is missing

I'm interested in caribe in italic;

 

posted this comment on the phone app, but I don't see it so apologies if you've already seen it and responded and I haven't seen it.

I'll see if we can get that one done.

BTW, the registry is at  https://www.bmw2002faq.com/registry/

If your car is not there, please add it and email BMW Archives at info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com

Once you have more info from them, please, add the information to the listing.

I will not be able to drive to the event this year. Just cannot be this long away from the family. So, now I need to figure out how to fly there

Event Title: BayArea02 Swap and Show

BayArea 02 Swap & Show, 6 May 2023, Marina at Brisbane, California. Please pre-register on Motorsportreg.  Preregistration is $25 until 30 April, while the on-site fee on 6 May will be $30.  Graphic artist Kile Brekke designed our T-shirts and printed materials again this year; they look excellent!   Please pre-register early to help us plan.  We will have a named bag for each pre-registrant, so our closing date is slightly earlier than some years to help us organize.

Note— Swap & Show visitors are welcome!  If you do not show your car or swap parts, there is No Fee for entry.  But we encourage anyone with a BMW of our vintage to bring your car to display, no matter how beautiful your restoration or how mundane the dirt and rust on your daily driver (some photographers can make the rust and dirt very photogenic— check out photos from previous years!).  Swap & Show does not judge your car, so there will be no points for extra dirt, missing dirt, matching luggage, or concours-ready shine.  We smile at all BMWs, and photographs or videos are welcome (but NO drones over cars)!

It is an early VIN, so I do not think the headlights are original to this specific car.

I posted a notice about the change around mid January and it ran for a couple of weeks. The change was done for security reasons to prevent brute force hacking. I sent you an email to the email address that is used for this account.

There is no spell check that is done by the site itself.  That is all on user side.  Autocorrect is prolific on the mobile phones. Not sure if either Mac or Windows allows to completely disable things, but i think most allow adding words to the dictionary.

the FAQ is now of drinking age!  We have turned 21 and I will celebrate with at least a beer

Thank you all who have been with us from the start or who have joined us recently. This site cannot exist without all of you. The goal has always been to be the central spot for all 2002 owners. It has not been easy, but we continue to gather the data and knowledge about the cars we love. So keep posting your thoughts and observations, keep answering the same questions, and be nice to each other.

I will always ask to spread the word about us. Write articles, let people know where to get the information, post links to us from other places, wear your FAQ merchandise, and please add your car to the registry

Thank you all! I am looking forward to grabbing a drink with as many of you as I can.

MidAmerica’02 Fest is the longest continuous running BMW 2002 event in the USA.

The Fest is presented each year by the True Friends of Alex von Falkenhausen. *

The actual on-line event registration is here, when registration begins.

Join 02 drivers from all over the U.S. for three days celebrating the 2002. 

We encourage enthusiasts to review the agenda and plan to join us for a super event!

As the announcement int he Classifieds section says, don't buy anything from anyone asking you to contact someone else not present on this site.

I changed the order for ma bit. You no longer choose the model of the car, but the serial number for the booster. Hope that scares fewer people away. If you want something that we do not have (color, booster number) let me know and we might be able to get them reproduced.

Thank you!  Replacing the temp gauge, so the top is coming off

Steve 

The correct part number for the NK built after 1969 is 3.6142-1301.4

e3 and e9 will differ based on model. The sticker would also be different type as the company changed from "KG" to "GmbH"

No granada at the moment. If there is enough interest in that color, it can be printed. 

Steve 

For those who have done the gauge replacements, is it easier to do this from under the dash or by removing the dash at the top? 

Thanks, 

Steve K. 

I am hoping to get enough interest in these to bring them stateside, so I am doing a pre-sale. So, if you are looking to replace those missing stickers, here is your chance. 

We are proud to bring one more great item to our store. Just like the warm-up regulator kits, this one is open for pre-order.

We present an underhood sticker set for all BMW Neue Klasse Cars and early BMW 2002s.  The set contains stickers for the radiator, the brake booster, the winter box, and the battery and color stickers applied to the fender. The font on the "color" and "battery" stickers is correct for early cars and differs from the post-1969 stickers.

The brake booster sticker differs between BMW models. We will supply the correct sticker for the model that you specify. 

The stickers sold already exist, but we need to get them to me. All stickers are sold as a set. If you do not see the color that you want, please let me know and we can do another production run if there is enough demand.
