    I had similar, if not identical symptoms. My issue turned out to be a stuck valve guide...and bad rings. You can always run a compression/leak down test to attempt to rule out the latter. Is your oil consumption higher than normal?

    Here's mine, prior to switching to euro spec... PO performed the modification, so I can't really speak to the process. Paging @rstclark

    I'd reach out to North Bay Bavarian in Santa Rosa. They can definitely check on the car mechanically, and likely recommend a body shop that they work with.

    Spray some FlexSeal on there, should hold.

    FYI - When I removed my CV joints from the splines, one of them came off with a couple wacks of a hammer on a brass drift. The other one needed a hydraulic press. Either way, I found this video very helpful:

    I had a similar issue with my pedal, sticking at low throttle and jerky. I ended up lubing the throttle contact, which helped, but it wasn't until I replaced the pedal (with blown out nub-holes) that everything went silky smooth. A new pedal can be had relatively cheaply, and would likely improve your driving experience!

    Or in my case, disintegrate inside the passenger side door.

    You and I have very similar engine bays!

    I had to use a hydraulic press to get one of mine off. The other took about 35 minutes with a mallet and a brass drift.

    As far as I know, the ground strap on your ignition isn't stock. All ground wires on our cars are brown...

    Nice looking tii for sale @ Cardiff Classics. Probably on the higher end, price wise... https://www.cardiffclassics.com/details-1972-bmw-2002_tii-used-2761050000.html NM/NA

    Selling my set of 14" Basketweaves with center caps. Rims are in pretty good shape, but could probably do with a respray. I can provide more photos, but here's the driver's side wheels before I pulled them off the car: Tires are Falken Sinceras 195/65/14 and have a decent amount of tread left on them. Asking $500, local pickup only. Thanks

    Got my Kooglewerks Limmerfelgen wheels, wrapped and mounted on the car! Really happy with the overall look, and the fit and finish of the wheel is great

    @thebingster Nice meeting you a few weeks back! Great looking car. As Rob mentioned, I'll be parting with my basket weaves within the next week, let me know if you're interested.

    I used this set: https://www.amazon.com/Channellock-926-4-Inch-Retaining-Plier/dp/B001B82G16/ref=sr_1_10?crid=21RMAP5Z28SDM&keywords=circlip+pliers&qid=1684726218&sprefix=circlip+plier%2Caps%2C173&sr=8-10 If memory serves, it took a couple of attempts to get them off.

    Went to the first Encinitas Cruise night of the year for the BMWCCA event, couple of 02's showed up!

    I used a hack saw to saw through the old bushings before pressing them out with a bench vise. Used the same bench vise to press in the new ones. It's a pain though.

    FWIW I got 2 quotes for bumper hole filling and trim delete, basically respraying the bottom 2/3 of the car. $6500 for one, and around $9k for the other.
  23. Leucadian
    Seconded. Matt's your guy.
