  1. Looking for a foglight switch to replace the green blank in the center console. Anyone have one they can part with? Larry
  2. Zygmunt Motors in Doylestown. Nobody knows 02s better. www.zygmuntmotors.com.
  3. Worse yet, the talking heads at Mecum recently introduced a tii as a "BMW 2002 T2." Really...
  4. Oh, I'm sure it will buff out... Godspeed with the update!

    Numbers matching, unrestored car with original paint, rubber, chrome, and glass.
  6. Robert and I counted cars on the field independently and both of us got the same total: 129. But we observed two more O2s enter the field after the count. So call it 131.
  7. If you haven’t found one, I have two. One slightly used and one untouched in the box with the note that BMW sent to us in 2002. Price varies accordingly. Larry
  8. Well, I did at one time. VIN #4291240. You never knew that? You never saw it? While it was very cool, the truth of the matter is that I liked the tii more. The turbo always seemed heavy and a bit ponderous to me. It was really powerful, but only if you kept the rpms above 4,500; if they drop, your boost is gone, gone, gone, and the turbo lag to build power back up was, well, 70's era turbo lag. And running at those high rpms for prolonged periods does not help 40 year-old plastic, which got brittle and broke at the most inopportune times. So off it went. It's still around. I sold it to Scott Hughes, who has brought it to the Vintage and other similar events.
  9. At one point when I wanted to buy parts for my 2002 turbo, they required me to provide photos of the VIN numbers on the chassis, inner fender, door, and engine before they'd sell me anything. When I questioned this procedure, they explained that they were worried that people would "create" a turbo from an "ordinary" tii by buying and installing turbo-only parts. And since they never imported the turbo into the US in the day, my purchase request set off alarms. At least that's what they said...
  10. Tried the dealer. Computer showed there were 3 left in the world. Ordered all three last week. Told early this week that there are none left and none being produced. So I'm still looking...
  11. Hi all! Looking for the "dog dish" cap that covers the rear of the headlights on Euro market cars. Shown as #1 on diagram 63/2: Covering cap 2 63128650140 $6.21 ENDED Walloth&Nesch sells them, but theirs are black and I'm looking for a set in the original gray plastic. Anyone have an extra set?
  12. Hi all! looking for a set of the round, gray plastic bowls that cover the back of the headlights and are held in place by large rubber bands. Looking for a set in very good condition for my '73 tii Thanks, Larry
  13. Hate to be the cheapskate, but saw that Sunday entry is $50 (advance purchase. More "at the door"). Frankly, I'm discouraged from going at a price that is more than the Vintage.
  14. You have the bug and there is no cure. Congratulations! Bought my first 2002 (with a blown head gasket, cause that's all I could afford) in 1972.. So I'd be right here with you except for that "consecutive year" thing. Had a 7 year hiatus where I bought a house, started a business, and had a kid. Had to part with a tii that I didn't have the money or time to care for properly. Wish I had those years back, automotively speaking. Glad you kept the faith throughout!
  15. Think of all the things you'd like to do in an '02 but wouldn't dare do in yours. Well, here's your chance... http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...536399655.html
  16. Hi all! Want to autocross but afraid to do so in a 45 year old car? Well, now you can do it in someone else's 45-year-old car. Or, need a great get-away vehicle for a bank heist? There are a million uses for someone else's 2002,... just not mine. But here's a guy who's a lot braver than me! http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac...536399655.html
  17. Hi all! Selling a 2006 530xiT. Put an ad on craigslist, home to so many internet scammers. A guy emails me and asks for the VIN so he can run a CarFax report. Seems reasonable but as craigslist is home to so many internet scammers, I'm a bit suspicious. Is there any compelling reason not to provide the VIN? Don't want to cut off a legitimate sale opportunity, but don't need more headaches either. Advice?
  18. Want to say thanks to Raine for allowing me to take over his reservation so I can be with everyone at the Clarion. Will hoist a parking lot beer (or 6) in your honor Raine! See all the rest of you there.
  19. tsk, tsk, Harry... Have you no pride? (wink, wink) Looking forward to seeing you there!
  20. Too little sleep. Too little coffee this morning. A thousand apologies to the lovely Cindy! PS. Sam also flying in on Friday. Maybe we can organize an airport run...
  21. Matthew & Jim, Re: wives' attendance Boys, you're just not trying hard enough. Sell it to your better halves as an opportunity to meet the wives of other crazies similar to us so they can compare notes on how to put up with (i.e. accept) us. I'll be there with Vicki, I'm sure Andrew will have Kathy riding shotgun. Robert most likely to bring Lydia. Come on down! PS. I have two passengers this year, as Sam is also joining us. May necessitate bringing the coupe instead of the tii. Such a sacrifice, sigh...
