    Wendel’s presence will certainly be missed. He was always friendly, positive and cordial whenever we met, regardless of the fact that I’m not a regular to the local events. He always made me feel welcomed, and I can only hope that I can follow his example with the people I meet along the way. Life’s too short. Condolences to his friends and family.

    Doesn’t Valt Auto hold their 5th Sunday cars and coffee at the same time in Moraga?

    Just a thought… if the door tends to bind along the rear vertical section of the seal, perhaps adjusting the door forward would help. You’d have to sacrifice the even door panel gaps that might have been established when initially aligning the doors without the seals; ditto if the seal is binding along the bottom and adjusting the door upwards. Over time, if the seal yields, readjust the door to even the panel gaps.

    Went to the faq C&C in Los Gatos…

    What is the diameter of the cover?

    Weber DCOE CSM (aka a “choke” by some) that needs to be used for a quick cold start or risk the probability of no/long start-up or flooding the engine.

    I used 3M Molding Tape and it’s held up for the past three years. I would also consider “Goop” or “Shoe-Glue” if an adhesive is preferred.

    From 9-11am. I’ve spent the last three weekends working on the E91, so the 2002 is due for some seat time. Petaluma is not too far for a quick drive…

    Fueling it, done often (with thirsty dual side draft 45DCOEs) and requiring a filler adaptor (at least in CA with the vapor recovery gas pump nozzles).

    “Simple” valve cover gasket replacement … if that were only so. 🤣

    Fortunately the ‘02 hasn’t needed anything since replacing the driver’s door window and regulator, and tuning the Webers. I just need to take her out for a good drive and check the plugs to see if the idle mixture is spot on. Unfortunately, I’ve had to deal with the “other” bimmer, which certainly makes me appreciate the simplicity of the ‘02.

    Reduced to a commodity or elevated to a collectible? Regardless, it’s just a car to enjoy and have fun in. I prefer working on the car myself and calling it maintenance, not an “investment.” I still wash with a car sponge mit and dry with a terry cloth towel. I’ll leave the clay baring and ceramic coating to those more OCD than me. If I “show” the car, the doors are open and interested folks, especially kids, welcome to sit behind the wheel if they’ve never sat in an ‘02 before. Hopefully the new owner puts some real miles on their new purchase.

    No doubt, the seller did well and had the right buyers in the tent at the right time. As the saying goes, you need to know when to hold them and when to fold them. As ‘02 owners and enthusiasts, we can all feel good about the results, even folks like me that don’t own a tii. I could probably sell mine for quite a bit more than I paid for it four plus years ago, but the car’s not for sale and would be difficult to replace in kind. So, as with other appreciating assets that are buy and hold, I think I’ll just go out to garage, take her for a spin and appreciate it…

    I received a PM from a relatively new member with the email address of the Seller. The Seller stated he was out of town on business and did not have access to the FAQ and was unable to respond to FAQ inquiries. He would accept cash & carry offers or could have someone package and ship the dash today if I wasn't local. After a numerous email exchanges, I requested that they post a reply on the FAQ that a sale was pending, allow others who responded before me to make a deal, and if none could be made, I would be willing to pay cash and pick up the dash. They needed to prove that they were the original poster and had possession of the dash, otherwise no deal. If the Seller reads this I'm still interested under the same conditions. If not, Caveat Emptor to anyone else who responds to this ad.

    I was thinking about using it to control some idle shake as well. I’ve been dialing in dual DCOE 45s and have done the best I can to synchronize and set the idle mixture and speed, but still some shake at a nice low idle (I guess it goes with the territory of the carbs, 292 cam and Stahl header set up). Based on everyone’s input, I’m inclined to leave well enough alone.

    Saw this on a ‘74 tii recently posted on BaT… anyone else ever see or use a torque rod on their engine? BTW…and yes, it has a cowl hole…

    It’s a driver that’s probably been color changed with paint applied in areas the factory didn’t intend, de trimmed, undisclosed body repairs, bumper modified, non original interior, and a rough running engine supposedly with just tuning needs…however, it’s excellent per the CL lister who can’t spell, posts fuzzy photos that “tells everything” and you will double your money in three years… It’s not worth your time in my opinion, but if you think it’s pretty great for $25k then contact the lister and arrange an inspection and test drive. If it knocks your socks off, the ask is $25k and not a penny less, but I think there are better cars out there for that amount of money. IMO it’s $15k even in today’s high price market where for just a few thousand more than the ask, you could’ve had this local tii… 1974 BMW 2002tii 5-Speed BRINGATRAILER.COM Bid for the chance to own a 1974 BMW 2002tii 5-Speed at auction with Bring a Trailer, the home of the best vintage and classic cars online.

    I’m not sure if you mean a wheel design to offset with the straight lines of the car or contrast to them, nor whether you mean good or a lot… but these wheels aren’t a popular choice for ‘02s , that’s for sure… wheels are a personal choice and easy to change so it’s entirely up to you. Here’s a photo of an E30 with phone dial type wheels that might give you an idea of what similar wheels will look like on your car.

    ‘74 tii… bigger bumpers, tail lights and holes are better???
