  1. I am interested if you can quote a shipping cost to SLC, Utah. 84103. Ph: 801-596-8631
  2. Did this come out of a 2002? If it did, what year? I would be interested but it looks so much different than what is in my 1973. Thanks
  3. My original Nardi came with a hardcover Nardi history book. Does yours?
  4. Are the lenses removable so that the frames can be rechromed? Are the bulb sockets useable?
  5. Did you ever try to fit them in your 2002? Are they narrow enough to not interfere with the extended center console? Do they require custom rails for fitment?
  6. In the process of refurbishing the inner panels of my 73 2002 interior, I discovered a hose on both insides of the rear quarter panels leading from the roof down to the rocker panel. Can anyone identify its purpose? In the attached picture, it is to the right of the BOOM MAT.
  7. Spent a lazy Sunday cleaning out the interior of the rear quarter panels to insure their was no hidden rust, painted as much as I could reach with POR 15 and then added BOOM MAT. Also mounted the burled wood panel strips, I took off of an AUDI, on to the four interior side panels. It may not suit others tastes for originality but I like it.
  8. Will this fit over headers? What year motor was this removed from? Thanks,
  9. Yes, I bought mine in November. Just contact him on the email address provided. it is well made and not cheap @ $92, which includes all the nuts and bolts necessary to install.
  10. I purchased my M10 AC bracket from dmdonoughue@att.net and it is definitely not made out of aluminum but heavy steel. It fit perfectly.
  11. I am also interested in cutting my coils to lower the stance. When you reinstall your altered springs, a picture of the new stance would be appreciated for reference on how low 1/3 cut appears.
  12. I also bought mine from Rocky Mountain Sheepskin. I only purchased the driver's seat #3627 which was the best quality offered @ $320. I purchased it to keep from burning the back of my legs when the sun beats down on the vinyl and the extra comfort it provides. The original seats are not the most comfortable on long drives.
  13. Question regarding #7 turn signal. Do you only have the drivers side? What is the difference when you refer to NK?
  14. Won " Best of Show" at todays Utah BMW CCA event. It was a surprise as the earlier award was second place in "Vintage" class.
  15. If the base mount is secure to the door and it is the mirror base that is loose, you might want to buy a longer set screw. They are available at ACE hardware in different lengths to compensate for possible wear in the base mount grove.
  16. Unusual to find a car wash that would do that good a job, much less apparently have access to a lift. What kind of chemical did you use to be so effective/
  17. I will take the turn signals. Just let me know the payment process. 893 13th Avenue, Salt Lake City , Utah 84103. Gregg
  18. Any scratches or gouges in the Nardi shift knob? Does it screw on or is it a tight fit slip on?
  19. Did your take this set off of a 2002? If you did, did you have any wheel well or turning clearance issues? I have an unaltered 73 2002. I might considerer making an offer if I could be assured that I wouldn't have to make any alterations to mount them.. Would you be willing to package and ship them via Greyhound?
  20. Who did your engine overhaul? No one here in Utah seems qualified to overhaul an old BMW engine. They only know what the computer read out tells them what to exchange! Local BMW dealer and local BMW specialty shops don't have anyone old enough? might have to ship the engine when it comes time.
  21. Installed an SSI rear stabilizer bar. What a difference in handling! Replaced two tailpipe rubber hangers. It looked like it would be an easy task? Not so! No more thumping now. Installed an aftermarket coolent recovery tank. I guess this model year didn't provide one. Adjusted my difficult to open trunk latch. Much easier now. Fitted a lambs wool seat cover on drivers seat. Now I don't burn my thighs when wearing shorts in Utah's 100 degree days. ,
  22. Where did you buy your GPS speedometer from? Cost?
  23. The previous owner apparently applied the sticker set after the repaint. As you can tell from my alterations, I am not a stickler for originality, so I'll let them stay. Thanks for identifying the color and sticker inaccuracy.
