  1. 3M Adhesive Spray 90 on both the material and the surface should do the trick. Let it get tacky and then stick it on. I assume you have the original boards. Mark92131
  2. Wow, I looked for that car in CA for over 20 years after selling my 1976 because of smog issues. With time running out for my S14 swap, I ended up with my 1970 BMW 1600. Bring a Trailer is the right venue for your car, people pay up for original cars! Yours will do well on BAT. Mark92131
  3. Take a lot of pictures, especially the problem areas, (rockers, frame rails, trunk, etc.). Review like cars in the Classified section under cars for sale to get a feel for pricing. Post your ad here to find it a good home. If no bites, eBay, Craigslist, Offer-up, Facebook Marketplace, and BringATrailer will get more eyeballs on it. Mark92131
  4. Did you change the seals on the shift selector and output shaft? Mine looked good until I fired up my engine and they proceeded to leak. Now I'm looking at pulling the transmission back out. Mark92131
  5. I have a pair. The castle nut on one runs down easily. The other binds slightly half way down. The splines look good. It looks like they were drilled for both 2002 and E21 half-shafts (LSD conversion). PM me if you are interested. Mark92131
  6. If you have a "silver dollar" cluster, this tach will fit. I don't know anything about the seller, just a random local ad on Craigslist. Here's a picture of my summer box. Still has the clamp for the snorkel. I also have the hose to the air cleaner and the paper hose that connects to the cover over the exhaust manifold. Summer box $30 Hoses $15 Plus Shipping Mark92131
  7. This ad has been up for a while, but the price is right. I have a couple of summer boxes if you need one. Mark92131 BMW 1600 2002 Tachometer - auto parts - by owner - vehicle automotive sale - craigslist SANDIEGO.CRAIGSLIST.ORG BMW 1600 2002 silver dollar tachometer as shown $50.00 Haynes Manual $20.00 I also have some misc. bulbs and fuses I'll throw in if you buy both. WILL ONLY REPLY TO EMAILS WITH A PHONE NUMBER. Thank...
  8. It's a 6 fuse car. Parking light (R&L) on fuse #1, Tail light right on fuse #2 and Tail light left on fuse #3. Mark92131
  9. My 1970 BMW 1600 has this feature (1571037), it also has the turn signal switch with the individual connectors. The "P" connector on the turn signal switch is connected to the "P" connector on the ignition switch with a green wire which provides power to the parking lights when the stalk is activated right or left when the ignition switch is off. I learned about this feature the hard way by running down the battery in my 1971 BMW 1600 Cab after switching it on by accident in the garage. Mark92131
  10. Reseda Green? Very pretty color, one of my favorites. Not a 1600 color, but 320i, BMW 1500 and other models. Mark92131
  11. Here's a writeup on how I cleaned up the trim on my 1975 Mintgrun car. Mark92131
  12. Now that my open exhaust issue is resolved, a rainy day in CA is perfect for working in the garage. So let's get tuning. Last time I was able to get the engine to fire, so today I wanted to see if it would actually run. Went back through the Megasquirt II (MicroSquirt) tuning documentation, made a few tweaks based on the writeup from @AustrianVespaGuy. Started the data log, turned the key, began cranking, timing light flashing and it fired... and died. Tried it again, fired and kept going. It actually started around 2000 RPM and slowly settled down to about 1500 RPM. I checked the static timing (which was suppose to be fixed at 10 degrees BTDC) and it was more like 20). Let it idle about 5 minutes until the coolant temp was around 180, shut it down and sent the data log to @AustrianVespaGuy who reminded me that I needed to fix the timing at 10 degrees on initial startup and not use the table. Made the changes and restarted the car. Things were going smoothly, rock steady idle, static timing needed adjustment, but the motor sounded very happy, and then things went sideways in a hurry... Coolant was pooling under the car, but from where? Basically everywhere! The heater core blew a seam and coolant was flowing into the pedal box. But wait, why is oil leaking from the front driver's side? Because the oil filter gasket is leaking! Wait what's this? A small pool of MTL dripping on the floor from the Guibo? Is the rear seal on the 5 speed bad? I was told it was replaced (5 years ago)? So it looks like I'll be pulling things apart before I get back to the fun stuff. So much promise, dashed so quickly.

  13. Code light popped up that Vanos system was compromised, (plugged up). Spent a bunch of money trying to fix it. Finally had to let it go for next to nothing. Lesson learned on buying cars from out of State based on pictures, (although it will probably happen again). Mark92131
  14. Thanks, me too. Working on tuning it today, now that the exhaust is done. Mark92131
  15. Yes, great car until it wouldn't smog in CA. Sold it and scaled down to a 2020 M2 Competition. Mark92131
  16. I miss my original paint 75 PastellBlau BMW 2002. One of 3 I have owned in this color. Mark92131
  17. Completed the installation of the exhaust system for the S14 motor in my BMW 1600. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out Mark92131
  18. I did see the Kooglewerks S14 header when I was ordering some parts from them. Beautiful, but pricey at $2K and then you need to fabricate the resonator and side exit muffler. My homemade version was $350 including the chop saw, good for now. Mark92131

  20. Those are getting hard to find. I was on the same quest as you earlier because the previous owner snapped all the mounting tabs off and glued it to the steering wheel. I found one in Germany, they wanted $200+ for it, so I passed and ended up JB Welding my original. In my search, I did find someone that made a file to 3D print one. Mark92131 steering wheel cone for BMW 2002 by iffikas - Thingiverse WWW.THINGIVERSE.COM Based on measurements provided by client. Created in Fusion 360 based on my printer performance. Fits perfect in my case. First run was with PLA and postprocessed - sanding, primer and contour spray to achieve close to original look. There was no point to print pins...
  21. After firing my engine with an open header, I needed to come up with a solution for adding an exhaust for the S14 motor before tuning it. I had an adapter plate for the header I bought from Lee at Massive years ago, just needed to fabricate everything back to the tail pipe. The adapter was for 2" pipes, so I bought a universal 2" pre-bent exhaust pipe kit on eBay, a 2" "Y" pipe, a 2" resonator, some 2" exhaust clamps, and a 14" chop saw and went to work. I copied the OEM routing and 3 piece configuration, basically building a 2 to 1 downpipe, a resonator center section and muffler. I used the existing OEM muffler I had for the car and will later duplicate it in a 2" version. I mocked everything up, and with the help of my brother, tack welded everything together. We pulled it off the car and proceeded to weld it up completely. Today I'll clean up the welds, spray some primer to keep it from rusting and press on the chrome tip for the muffler and re-install it. Mark92131
  22. Just a quick update. I reached out to Martin Senour about the availability of #21505 Nevada Olive Paint code. They provided 2 options in their Pro//Base paint line. PBT (CA restricted formula, Base and Clear Coat) Formula: 100996227 PBS (Single Stage formula) Formula: 101024860 So for people looking for a less expensive option to repaint their Nevada cars, you should be able to walk into your local NAPA store, order a pint and do a spray out to see how close these look to original Nevada.

  23. Ty: The poster of this ad, johnpeter, is a Bot that automatically posts eBay auctions for BMW 2002's. Mark92131
  24. I does look considerably darker in the shade. Mine was painted in Glasurit 22 Single Stage using the original formula for Nevada out of the Glasurit database. It does have the subtle Olive undertones I was looking for in this color that some formulas don't reflect. I does look different in direct sunlight and shade. Mark92131
  25. Researching those formula codes comes up with a Martin Senour Pro//Base Paint from Napa Auto. This paint is their PBT restrictive line for CA (1 to 1 Base to Reducer) with a clear coat. Cypress Gold is an older Ford color, but it would be interesting to know if Napa folks have the mixing formula for Martin Senour 21505 (Nevada 001) in their database. If #21505 is still in the database, you can probably use the Martin Senour Pro//Base PBS Single Stage for a more OEM look, good news for folks outside CA. Mark92131 Just a moment...
