    I like EDIS and COP, but unless I'm missing something, the distributer guy is using flawed understanding to scare you away from a distributor. The distributor has some drag, and so does the cam. That's why a fixed tensioner on a timing belt motor works even if (when) the belt stretches. the drag keeps the slack due to lash on the non tension side. As long as the engine is turning, the lash is absorbed by the drag, unless the engine seizes or you miss a shift, at which point who cares what the actual timing is. This differs from driveline lash, the momentum of the car is greater than the drag, unlike the momentum of the distributor shaft.

    someday I'll find the polaroid pic of the Kawi 750 ltd wedged in the trunk of my '73

    Hi, all! I'm looking for an a/c compressor and bracket system of more modern design that would fit a tii with no interference with a 22mm front bar, any ideas? Dave

    I used the E30 main/fuel/o2 heater relay mount, sockets, and cover for a 3 relay setup.

    In 1974, I got a job as a lot boy at the BMW/Alfa/Ferrari/Peugeot/MB dealer in Lake Forest, Il. I saw lots of them, and since they wouldn't go through the automatic wash, I drove them all downtown to the other wash, I drove plenty of cool cars, but the 02s stuck on me.

    early radiators had the straight barb, later ones angled up, the early lower hose will adapt your car unless it has a/c, not sure about the a/c thing, but the different hoses are found by specifying with or without a/c in the parts catalogue

    I'm in unless fate stops me. A timely post as I can see a sampler pack of new glarus beer as I sit here, and yesterday I pulled out a primrose wedding wine I bought at the tasting room ten years ago TODAY! on my honeymoon. I was prevented from attending last year, and have regretted that. Amen on the best roads, I took the tii to the hillclimb in may, there were 4 02s there, I'll try and find the pics link.

    http://www.badgerbimmers.org/uploads/BrewCityGrillFlyer2010.pdf 3 02s in our Illinois group so far, should be at least that many wisconsin cars there, too

    After 17 years at a BMW dealership, I'm throwing in the towel. I'm starting next week at The Werkshop doing service and restorations on a wide range of bmws from 328s and 02s to newer post warranty cars. getting paid to play with 02s, priceless! http://www.thewerkshop.com/

    I avoid that problem by never selling them, I still have my first one after 32 years. I hope to see your car at vintagefest if not before!

    I've been driving 02s for over 30 years, never had overdrive, I even had a 4:11/1 1600 for a while, I always thought the cars had a sweet spot at 80mph, all the harmonics seem to settle a bit. I drove my '74tii to ofest in Keystone from Chicago with other 02s and 3 M cars, we were typically at 85 mph where possible, you get used to the sound after an hour or two as long as you know the car was designed for it.
