  1. Price: $27
    Location: Salt Lake City, Utah


    Description:


    I reluctantly am encouraged to sell my 1973 BMW 2002 Roundie with manual & sunroof. I have purchased another classic and The Boss has concern with having an additional car occupying our two car garage while her car sits outside in the weather! I am posting notice here to determine if any of the Forum members have an interest before I list it on BAT, which will charge a buyer 5% of the sold price. It had undergone a complete bare metal paint, mechanical & weather strip restoration a few years back. I have  since continued to refine it with personal improvements (A/C, right mirror, electric trunk lock, F&R stabilizers, engine bay strut bar, headlight relays, electric rad fan, Pertronic ignition, center armrest, 3rd brake light, complete rug replacement with underlay Boommat, fuel tank sensor, 3 gage panel, etc & etc).  A detailed list of improvements and pictures will be provided once I figure how not to exceed the submitted megabite limit and find them on my computer.

  2. In order to finish my upgrade I need a left front fender Italian European (half ember & half clear) parking light. Prefer no rust interior & exterior with unblemished lense. I only need one because I already have the right passenger side unit.

  3.  I purchased and installed one with a light. It works like a charm and you never have to use a trunk key again. Just run a wire from the unit to a spot under the dash for the switch, wire the switch to a fused always hot lead and you are in business. You can still leave the trunk closed and unlocked for repeated access or just electrically lock it with the switch. If you have a dead battery, you can still use the key to open. A novice can install it.

  4. I had posted an update last year on this thread. I can add to my remarks, that even though DTEC claims to be a smaller unit, it still required pounding down on  the  trans tunnel to provide additional space. I have now completed the entire install: compressor, condenser, dryer, line fittings, electric fan and switch placements.  I have not charged the system because you have to complete the wiring prior.  Due to the provided poor electrical diagram, have still to complete the final power supply wiring. In  the meantime,  I could have spent time on the phone with DTEC for clarification but I had  other 2002 projects get in the way.

    I had a 544 just prior to my purchase of my 2002 BMW. They are built like a tank with thick Swedish steel (you can sit on the hood or roof). The only negatives I can recall are that the carbs sit just above the exhaust manifold and next to the oil pressure sensor (fire hazard). Your car also shows a typical sprung left rear hatch.  Is that the original paint?

  7. I was tracing my wiring and discovered that my present wiring hook up to the coil primary resistor doesn't reflect what the manual depicts. My car runs fine but my wiring position #1 is green & red and position #2 is just green.  .This is opposed to the attached manual description which is just the opposite?  Does it make any difference which way the wiring is attached to the resistor?  My  green & red goes from the resistor #1 position  to the coil terminal #15.

    I am going to Oakland in October. What specific area of San Franciso's North Bay are you located ? If it is close to Oakland I would be interested.
