    Any "02" enthusiast going to the Blackhawk "Cars & Coffee" this Sunday? I'm going, hoping to meet up at the Burger King on Crow Canyon at 7:30, and caravanning to the gathering

    I figured it out, it was the little plastic slide that keeps the window centered in the front track, it was shoved all the way down to the bottom, stopping the window from going all the way down. Chalk that one up to a lesson learned

    After replacing the passenger side window regulator, the window sticks-up about an inch, will not go down as for as the drivers side, nor as far as it did prior to replacing the regulator, not sure what to do to fix. Any thoughts?

    My 1973 "02" had the bubble deflector on the car when I bought it back in 1984. When I bought my 1975 last year, it did not have the bubble deflector, it did not take long to purchase and install another. I, nor my dog could handle the amount of noise and wind that entered into the car without it, much HAPPIER now, so is my dog "Emma". The wind and noise FREAKED my dog OUT

    I bought my "02" back on December 20th, 2013, and what a FUN journey it has been. I just hit the 10,000 mile mark on the way up to San Francisco yesterday, for the" Bay Area" BMW "Cars & Coffee". 1,000 of the miles was part of the trip back home when I bought the car in Los Angles, an a mini re-union of class mates that I had not seen in 33 years. The other 9.000 miles were cruising around the Monterey Peninsula and a couple of trips to the San Francisco and South Bay "Cars & Coffee" A special THANKS to this "bmw2002faq" web-site and all of the people that makes it happen, it's like my "Bible"/"Holy Grail" on how to tackle the issues that I encounter "To Do" completed list Spark plugs, wires & Pertronixs ignition Removed spring board bumpers Refurbished tail lights Refurbished gauge cluster "Euro" turn signals "Zender" front air-dam Replaced front passenger rusted floor Removed the existing "BMW" seat mounts, an installed custom mounts with Miata seats Installed power windows & power door locks G-245 "5-speed" conversion New carpet, upholstery and "Honda Civic" center armrest 17" wheels, 195/45's in front, 205/45's for the rear, with rolled lips only Sun-roof wind deflector Replaced center console Stereo and speakers I'm going to try and replace the door an rear boot seal before "The Vintage" in SoCal in October Thanks for all the help along the way Salute'

    Power door locks/power windows are a MUST DO. Love being able to roll down the windows with ZERO effort

    Is there any interest among Monterey Peninsula "02" owners to start-up a club/gathering? (Not a full on club, with Presidents an all that stuff, more of an informal club/gathering for like minded folks). For the Summer, we can meet-up at "Baja Cantina" on Thursday Nights, display our cars, enjoy some music and good food Thanks, Doug 831-262-2853 +

    I've been out of the "02" scene for over 25-years, I finally broke down and purchased a "1975" last December, just curious if there is any interested in starting an "02" gathering here on the Peninsula? Always cool to meet and hang-out with like minded people, an I'm always looking for parts. There is a "Hot-rod" gathering happening this Saturday, June 28th, at Wharf #2, by the new deli near the rec trail. Starts at 7:am, over at 9:am Thanks, Doug

    The 1st shot is from "Cars and Coffee" by the Wharf in Monterey Ca The 2nd and 3rd shot was "Cars and Coffee" in the neighboring town to Monterey (Pacific Grove) today. And yes, that is a "74" Turbo with 59000 miles. Beautiful car, 1st time that I have ever seen this car

    The 1st shot is a house that I just completed the roof on in Pacific Grove Ca, the house was built in "1892". The other shots were just down the road in Pacific Grove along the ocean
