    SOLD

    UPDATE: UPS quoted me $145.00 to the same city - of course that was shipping to the door, not pickup at Greyhound station. Weight and size of the package was no problem (they do to 150lbs). That surprised me. I thought I remembered 75lbs way back - of course that was before the metric system and the EU when pounds were smaller Maybe LTL wouldn't be that expensive?? Any thoughts on alternate shippers??

    Currently holding for a gentleman who has expressed interest. But.. I've a couple other responses asking about the shipping. I can ship Greyhound anywhere they have service for between $35-$120. Crated it's about 58 linear inches and about 55 lbs. I'm open to other transport ideas as well

    GETRAG 245/4 E21 320i 5 SPEED - MAKE OFFER -Clean 3 piece case. No output flange or mounting hardware, and it needs a couple case bolts. Was pulled from my '02 after a guibo change resulted in popping out of gear. I purchased a new 245/4 and had same result- Garage told me that their Incorrect torquing caused the output shaft to move too far rearward and caused the intermittent pop out of gear. I DON"T KNOW. All i know do know is that this tranny worked fine until the work was done. I left the new "0 mile" tranny in the '02 and put this one the side to pull apart, check the specs and possibly do a rebuild. Never did rebuild it, so it's sold as is. I have no idea what the mileage is on this unit. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH YOUR BEST, REASONABLE OFFER. PICK-UP IN BALTIMORE, OR I WILL SHIP AT YOUR EXPENSE. PAYPAL ONLY. Thanks!

    Admins: This post might be best included with the Ireland Engineering post showing the color coded wire diagram. The standard DIN numbering codes (e.g. 31, 31b, 51 etc) in this first article explains the function of each wire or device connection. Used in combination, they help unravel the mystery of BMW (DIN) color assignment by function. We still print out the large (18x24) wall-mounted wiring diagrams updated with a side-bar list of these DIN color codes. Really helps figuring out the daemon electrical faults! Dave Bickel

    Howabout the heater control valve?? These look like they would be a fairly easy build. And, they are hard and expensive to get and tricky/messy to substitute. This FAQ shows the valve body and insert nicely.

    Nice looking car. Yes, it's a mistake to list a vehicle on CL and leave an '02 in the background! Ask me how I know. My 1982 R100RS for sale on CL in Baltimore. Responses on the RS= 2; calls on the '02=23. (no the 69 is not for sale, but I'll make you a great deal on the '82

    There are many approaches to this. Here's a BMW parts diagram that shows the original stock options. This varied by year. Hope it's helpful. When I installed mine, I used a set of hole matching brackets that came with the seats (still in the plastic bags).

    Adjusting cluster rheostat changes gauge readings. Searching for similar problems I found this older thread. 1. On my 1960 02 when I turn the cluster rheostate the fuel and temp gauges increase or decrease about 1/4 readings up/down and stay there. 2. My gauges are erratic with tapping and with bumps- especially bangin the top of dashboard (probably this one is the gauge studs on circuit board) 3. Things I have done/ NOT done: a. added OEM ground strap between engine, block, battery b. Cleaned, bared star washered and dielectric siliconed the 1. dash/firewall ground point 2. trunk ground point c. NOT added separate ground strap to cluster yet - d. NOT yet prayed or sacraficed to various teutonic gods for a spontaneous resolution of this fault -not of my own doing, of course. Any ideas appreciated. I willl update this thread when i fix this problem...

    A few hints from my similar experiences - hope these help. BTW- answer to your question "do these ever work this way..." Yes. interlocks on some models work this way (see below) Beware of model year/wiring harness mismatches: I've worked on at least 5 '02's in the last year that had wire harness upgrades from original year to later models (74>) These come with the wonderful interlock circuits and relays. So the interlock relay and other components may be present on these. Wiring type mismatches: Additionally, on one of the cars, an automatic harness was retrofitted to a manual. IIRC there are two wires to the interlock relay (BLK/BLK from ign switch) that I have seen jumped, or are connected to a relay. Weird shit done by POs: I'm currently T/S a problem in a 1970 02- brake pedal (or other heavy amp load) must be depressed (active) to start car! In this case there is a PO alarm with starter interrupt installed that could be part of prob. Tracing out the circuits is usually the only reliable way to locate the problem. MANY times I find faulty/wonky multi pin connectors that work most of the time, but not ALL of the time.

    FUEL LINE SPECIFICATIONS & Unknown recalls: Beware. MB & 2 BMWs. I have lost a newly restored 1972 MB 450 and had leaks on a BMW R100rs due to dealer-provided rubber hose lines. The "original replacement" spec did not include the substitution of a newer product that was resistant to our newer methanol and other chemical additives. The R100 was actually leaching the alcohol component through the pot-metal carbs, and the hose lines were melting. I changed those lines. I DID NOT change the high pressure fuel lines on the MB. These melted as well and resulted in a catastrophic fire (I discharged two 2ABC fire extinguishers and it still burned) fire dept arrived in 4 minutes, but still too late. Totalled 1998 M3: Factory recalled fuse box burned - contained to the fuse box and that portion of the wiring harness- no open flames under hood- $1,500 insurance repair. Now, I make sure the rubber is Euro-spec and/or is certified for modern fuels and their additives. I frequently check for recalls on the newer vehicles. PS: I carry two 2lb or single 5lb extinguishers in every vehicle and a 5ABC Halon in cab and a10A 8BC unit on running boards of my Dodge Power Wagon. Oxidation is not our friend - fast (fire) or slow (rust)

    The O is a preset for a "news, talk radio station" the grace note is for your favorite "music" preset and the others select (1) the favorite station on the tuning band location and (2) sets the radio to appropriate respective frequency as follows in german: L = Langwelle (long wave) M = Mittelwelle (medium wave) K = Kurzwelle (short wave) AND if FM tuning section is present in the radio- U = Ultrakurzwelle (ultra short wave) FM with frequently another U and a second preset FM station.

      UPS from a business. Longwood FL. I just got home.  Had to UBER.  My E46 had a rear strut failure. I will get a hold of the Pana owner tomorrow.  I do apologize.

    Im interested if the price is reasonable. In baltimore maryland USA. Thanks!

    Thanks guys. I have tried every adjustment of which I am aware, and no difference! We are currently working on 4 other 02's at the shop, and I have inspected them all. The only variable I have not yet worked is the tension pre-load on the torsion bar. Maybe the bar is not "holding up" the latch enough at the point of pre-closure (is that a word?) and it's hitting. This might make sense because the hood is REALLY heavy to lift, and requires full effort to raise. I've never had to pre-load a torsion bar before, but maybe this will be the first time. As I recall assembly, there was little force exerted by the bar...hmmm. perhaps a clue. I will definitely followup on this so others don't have to suffer as well. Dave

    Still can't get this one right. I have read all searchable articles and read all posts on this, but have not found any info pointing to which component is the problem. Just finished two other 02's in the shop, and working on another- none except my own car has this problem - luckily! When closing the hood, the side support arms hit when the hood is about 3" above closing. No article, or know adjustment I have tried has solved this. It hit before and after recent paint job. There seems to be at least two varieties of hood supports and torsion bar assemblies. Perhaps a mismatch? Open to suggestions that don't include " do a search" thanks!

    Congratulations! This is a great project and I'm confident that the end result will be as much fun as the journey! The FAQ is the perfect site to support your build. The information here and the knowledge of the members is vast, and people here are willing to help. Looking forward to following your progress! Dave in Baltimore

    +1 on the pump trigger. Yes! This will cause the problem. We had one come in the shop a few weeks ago where the washer pump wire brushed against the exhaust mani and grounded out causing the wipers to run. Only happened during acceleration when engine pulled enough to make contact! Dave in Baltimore

    WTB. sliders and cable attachments both sides in good serviceable condition for late model golde sunroof. Shipping to baltimore md. Dave in balto. Thnx.

    02Les. Thanks for that research! I was told it was a CA car, and not surprised that there is NO rust - just didn't want to state that in the "pre-ad". It's so clean I'm having second thoughts about moving it on, but fighting that urge! Since we matched the stated color code I'm going to verify that it's actually JadeGrun and correct that in the ad/posts. Dave in Baltimore

    UPDATE: 3/26/2016 - Price Increase. $10,500. We decided to take this car further towards completion. Added bumpers (thanks to a local 02 collector/restorer) and are awaiting a full trim kit from 2002AD they have promised to send out asap and all glass installation. UPDATE: FOR SALE $10,500.00 for this east coast shop-owned car when completed at this trim/finish level. This updated price reflects our original asking price and an approximate $3,500 trim package from 2002AD and bumper restoration. We will provide all original receipts for upgrades. Original California car in Jadegrun! Super clean and original. PICS LINK: https://goo.gl/photos/Ynj227Mg7bjaLp7n6 Also on CL Baltimore http://baltimore.craigslist.org/cto/5485254937.html Originally owned by one of our valued customers, we've decided this ALL ORIGINAL, car is too nice to race! PROS: Running, 62k miles, New (last week) high quality Spies Hecker paint job to BMW Jadegrun original color spec; Super clean NO DENT body (check the pics - but don't mind the dust, it's included); 4 speed, Sunroof, in rebuild now. New head liner, Original AC intact, Original radio and BMW OEM speakers, Cold air intake intact WEBER 32/36 (update) with manual choke, Rubber is being replaced as needed. We FOUND the bumpers and installed them! We have ALL the original trim, and are waiting for our 2002AD trim order to complete. CONS: Interior fully intact but needs a refresh- a few tears; dash is cracked, but easily repaired. We can do the full interior if you wish for an additional cost. We will negotiate with a prospective buyer for ANY additional work at very reasonable restoration rates! Your call. Asking $10,500. considering it's originally a CA car, the present body condition, original equipment, sunroof with AC, and level of completion with the upgrades.

    Thanks to all who have contributed posting these very informative bulletins! These should be added to our manual collections, read through, and consulted when a concern arises fro which their is no instant answer. Great job!

    Here's a recent pic of my 1970 titled (1969 build) in Manila, yes, with a black interior. There's no evidence of a tobacco interior. Notice my profile states this is a Sahara, but I finally figured this out and never changed it. I figured it out when I bought a can of Sahara touch up paint and tested it in the trunk! What a noobie surprise UPDATE: 8/4/2016 I finally did get to requesting the info on my car from the BMW Archive - they returned my inquiry within an hour! They advise that the car was built in December 1969, and was originally Chamonix, paint code 085. I recently did a full strip down and repaint in fresh Manila, and found no evidence of the Chamonix paint. Guess the original repaint did a thorough job.
