+1 for KB I’ve got a factory replacement engine in my 74. 1. 1st Factory Overbore 2. Stock Cam 3. 32/36 Weber 4. Hogged Intake Manifold 5. 3.64 Diff. 6. DeSmogged 7. Non-stock Exhaust Header 8. Bilstein HD Struts and Shocks 9. IE Stage One Springs 10. ST Sway Bars (F & R) 11. Cipher Harness Bar I like this set up for street and highway cruises LA to SF. No problem with freeway on ramps. Passing power is where it lacks something in my opinion but this car was never meant to be the ultimate sleeper. I also take the car to Willow Springs were I have run sub 2 minute laps. For reference, the VARA guys (KB+) are running 1.38’s or better in full race preped 02’ downdraft 38 cars. Hope this was helpful.

After a closer look at the old vin tag picture it looks to me like a: model #1600-2 date stamped 1968 1600001 to 1650000 are the first 2002 Mfgr. dates starting in January 1968. Is it possible the number is 1 660 890? If so that would put it into February or March of 1968. For what it’s worth Realoem says 1 560 890 is a 320i. So no help there.

Al, You could also try this low cost relay and see if it works for your set up. I have not tried it but some say it is an option. Let us know. https://www.ipdusa.com/products/11104/124262-intermittent-wiper-relay-240-740-760-780-940

Hi, I think I have the switch an connector with 5” of leads that you were looking for in February. Let et me know if you are still in need. Mark 310-395-5451

Hi Al, I have a Complete: 1. Right Hand Stalk - Washer / Intermittent/ Low Wiper/ High Wiper 2. Wiring harnesses 3. 7 Pin Intermittent Relay I just did this upgrade to my car and have an extra setup. No need to cut any wires. Use insulated female connectors under the dash. Only catch is the harness at the Washer Relay. Is it 6 or 7 pins? Mark 310-395-5451

I added the ST sway bars front and rear. It’s a noticeable and positive difference. Also added IE urethane bushings to improve steering feel. And finally, I added a harnes bar. As soon as it was installed the whole car felt tighter. I have a similar usage profile to yours. I’m sure you’ll be happy with upgraded sway bars.

Ok this is a momentary “What did you do “with” your 2002 today?” thread diversion. I took my car Auto Xing with the San Diego Chapter of BMW CCA at Qualcomm Stadium in a light rain today for its’ Birthday. Lots of wheel and car spinning fun. Unfortunately, my 74 was the only 02 out there. Mark

I suggest you identify a Locksmith in your neck of the woods with an InstaCode controlled key cutter. Give the Smith your code and existing key to check for a match. If they don’t match you’ll have some choices to make. The InstaCode software identifies proper key blank options to use when you are ready. Just as a point of reference I paid: $10 for Cutting and the blank $40 for Rekeying an ignition cylinder to match my doors. It took the Smith about 1.5 hours to tear down, rebuild and key the new ignition cylinder. If your local Smith says the (BMW, Huf, Neiman, Normbau) ignition cylinder is sealed and can not be rekeyed, move on to another Smith. Goodluck

C&C Drive In @ the Petersen this morning. I know... there was a lot of Ferrari Red for Enzo’s B-Day.
