    Rapandi, were you ever able to get ahold of one of these? Mine measures 31mm. Poorly thought out glue after refurbishing mine caused it to bubble (still kicking myself for this). Thanks

    If I will always have my Bluetooth adapter plugged in (car on or not) is it still ok to tap into the purple wire from my radio?

    Thanks that looks like the setup I want to do where did you wire in for power? I have heard using the clock or cigarette lighter. Thoughts? Which wire do I tap into if that's the case?

    Thanks so much for the replies. Love this 02 community!! Does the input power matter? It says input 90~240 VAC, 25mA. Can someone do a quick walk through regarding where to wire this and how to apply a fuse?

    I am looking into wiring a USB power source into my 2002tii (not sure if tii matters). I have seen various posts but not really clear as to exactly where/how I do this. The USB will power a Bluetooth that will plug via aux into the back of the stock blaupunkt stereo. Has anyone had luck with wiring one of these behind the console (behr AC console). Thanks in advance!

    Hey Esty, Great looking sets! I am a new tii owner and can't seem to figure out what best color to match my car. I have a 72 that is Sahara beige. Thoughts? Thank you! Josh

    That's what worries me about this 73 Colorado . . Maybe not as bad as stymees but still some concerning spots.

    Another one http://m.ebay.com/itm/BMW-2002-tii-/172229352487?nav=SEARCH granted it's a 74 Tii.

    For what it's worth - granted this one needs work. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-2002-Base-Sedan-2-Door-/152111968087?forcerrptr=true&hash=item236a946f57:g:FKEAAOSwvg9XTyLf&item=152111968087&autorefresh=true

    Good move. I will be curious to see what it goes for. All the best!!

    Well that one on BAT was a pretty rare example and beautifully restored. Plus it was done by very reputable shops with documentation. Now I know that if I were to take your car to Coupe King here in California I would expect to pay around 100k to make it look like the BAT example. In that case, sure, your car would be bring in those same big bucks. I think the problem here, and one that I am sure many flippers will take advantage of from the BAT example, is that all the tii's just jumped three times in value overnight. I for one do not think that is the case. There are examples of tii's selling for crazy numbers nearly 10 years ago. I am however glad that the seller on BAT was able to get a good portion back on what he put into the car in the first place. For some more comparison, there was a partially restored chamonix 72 tii that went unsold (25.4k) on Ebay not too long ago (http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/231851091125?roken=cUgayN) and then I think sold privately by the dealer in St Louis (not sure how much but under the 32k asking I'm sure). It just went up for sale again a couple weeks ago after the seller decided he wanted to trade it in for something else (new sellers words, not mine). I called the new seller (another dealer) and he was asking 27k for it - I passed.

    I too would love to have this car but not close to the price I almost paid for the inca in San Diego. Although it looks like you took good care of it the fact is that it is still an east coast car. And when I think of an east coast car I think about what Steve posted a while back when discussing a '74 tii - and that is Stymee and his '72 tii. Here is a link for the reminder: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/forums/topic/111768-full-of-surprises-a-72-tii-from-the-northeast/?page=1 Now I am not saying your car is in this condition but based on photos alone it makes me nervous - there are some concerning rust issues. In the last few months alone there was a rusty east coast '73 fjord tii that sold for right around 10k I believe. There was also a solid Texas '72 inca tii that sold for 22k and a restored '73 turkis tii that sold for 26k. I contacted a couple shops here is SoCal about the fjord to which they told me to run away from a project like that. Now I may be missing something about these cars that others that know more than me can pick up on - in that case I would love to be schooled. I guess I am posting this because while I do agree with TNan and that it is a special car, it will need work. I am not sure what others are thinking in terms of numbers but I would say between 10k and 15k would be a good starting point for negotiation. Thoughts?

    For reference - there was a two owner very dry original 73 inca tii that sold in San Diego for around 23k. I was able to drive it and it was a very solid car. I was second in line after somebody backed out. I believe it was on Craigslist a few weeks before for 18k. It had a PPI from La Jolla BMW and even they said 18k was pushing it due to it needing all rubbers replaced (quoted at 8k), rust in spare wheel, and a few other things. I was ready to buy but lost out to a cash buyer. I guess it is down to the buyer though as these things seem to be going for higher and higher prices. My concern would be it being an east coast car and of course rust. With that said it is a very nice car and Colorado is a beautiful color.
