    My best advise for this group is to let us know where you are located and to post a few pictures of the car. We will then be more than helpful to get you on the correct path. Good luck and sorry about what led up to the inheritance.

    I'm in the process of rebuilding the original engine for my Tii. May as well replace the chains. Today, I received an email from Maximillian saying - "This oil pump timing chain is no longer available from BMW and unlike all the aftermarket brands that do NOT fit properly, this is the CORRECT technical design. Fits all BMW M10 4cyl engines from 1960s to 1980s. On sale and in stock in our new Socal warehouse ! Great Price $48 & FREE SHIPPING !" Do all of the other chains I see from other vendors not work?

    I did use the kit. For me it was easier than trying to put everything together separately. It’s also very well done.

    You may want to look at these folks who sell a whole kit. https://prdesignsf.com/shop?olsPage=products

    Yes, that goes on top of the box. It's pretty obvious when you see where the holes are as to why it's not a complete circle.

    Nope, there wasn’t wire continuity in the big block thing. I drilled out the rubber and made everything look like it was wired up.

    Yours is the first engine bay I’ve seen that also has this extra diagnostic port!
  11. tomphot
    You are correct, I have the compl setup that’s on the current motor.

    Thanks, I think that’s what a local friend has on his car. I find the red and double straps very distracting. I do like the look of the plastic appealing from the historic perspective and they draw your eye as something totally different. But if they don’t work……. I have a set of Aluminium ones that are on the car and on a different motor currently. I will rebuild the original motor and try to install the plastic runners, if I can’t get it to work, I’ll cave in and put the Aluminum ones on.

    I’m starting a rebuild on my original ’72 Tii engine. The PO had 6 plastic runners in the parts pile that came with the car. As everything else in the engine bay will hopefully look pretty nice, I’m hoping to make the runners the same without spending the big bucks for new ones. Any tips on making that happen? In addition, I recall some huge issues on runners that were produced around 2014 that cracked after little use. Any more info on that situation?

    Thanks Steve, I’m buying the one pictured above from Paul. Here is mine now that I have it off.

    I’m starting to rebuild the original engine for my ‘72 Tii. I just noticed a broken piece just below the timing belt cover. What should look like? I can’t find an image of that area.

    The ones I got from LaJolla didn’t match the ones on my car. Pretty sure I was able to find the one pictures 2 posts above from Jamic.

    I hate that I can't find where I found this, I can't find anything in emails or an invoice, but this is what I have used, it matches up much better! I also had one of these made that goes on the door from another source. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VIN-MANUFACTURING-DATE-DECAL-BMW-2002-sticker-resto-repro/291812991221?hash=item43f168e0f5:g:fRkAAOSwZ1BXfnNa

    I didn’t, and to get them shipped from CA instead of England was ridiculous.

    I bought a headliner from local BMW dealer, first one split when being installed. I had the second one sewed up on the seams before installing and it’s fine. I don’t think they have fixed the issue. Btw, depending on price, you may be able to get it cheaper direct from BMW in USA.

    I’m one of those guilty whom has removed the reflectors and took off the rear bumper overriders for the cleaner Euro look that I like. I have saved all of the parts so if a future owner prefers the USA look, they can easily be re-installed.

    Hmm - maybe this was NY’s way of getting you to download their special spy ware so they could learn everything you know about 2002’s!

    I did that on my ‘65 Mustang. I don’t like the look of the 1972 tag as it’s a ‘71 tag with a ‘72 sticker on it.
  23. tomphot
    We do, it’s an ugly tag with pic of a Model T on it and can’t be customized. With my tag, no inspection, emissions and $20 a year.
  24. tomphot
    A friend who had this tag sold his car last year, it was my first choice when I acquired my car years ago. I jumped on it upon renewal. I guess I’m a literal tag guy - notice my 356 tag. Anyone else with this in other states?

    I had no issues with starting my Tii. Key out - everything off - car in Neutral - flip up the ignition switch - push start button.
