    Hi all, I inherited and fully restored my father's 1976 2002 four speed. Is there a rule of thumb as to what gear I should be in as it relates to RPMs? I want to make sure I don't wear out the gear box being an unexperienced (but learning!) driver. Thanks

    I am hoping to keep my 1976 2002 covered indoors at all times. What type of cover/material is the best to use?
  3. HarryBMW
    Did you get a chance to confirm the cover? I am hoping to buy soon. Thanks!

    Looks like http://www.furiousmethod.com/ is a price comparison tool. Enter part number: 36131114180 to test it out. Pretty nifty.

    Holy hell http://www.furiousmethod.com/ just opened up like 15 browser tabs for me. Neat service though.

    I am talking 24/48hrs at a time. My house does not have a garage and I live 25mins from temp controlled garage where it will be kept. Open to recommendations.

    I am looking for the below center caps for my wheels and wondering who to buy from. Does anyone know a reputable source? Emblem and Cap part number: 36131114180 Update: the cheapest source I've been able to find so far has been: https://www.atlantabmwparts.com/oem-parts/bmw-hub-cap-36131114180

    Update: discussed with a luxury garage owner who suggested carcovers.com covercraft.com carcoversusa.com

    Anyone have a reputable brand of recommendation? While my 2002 will be largely kept in temp controlled garage, it will also be kept outside at times and I would like to cover it with a durable cover.

    @MikeinNC Looks good. Where did you find the 5.5 x 14 NK wheels? Can't find them anywhere.
  12. HarryBMW
    Agreed and thanks ?
  13. HarryBMW
    OK, so they stick on with an adhesive. Do these look genuine? https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-wheel-cap-emblem-36131181082

    Does anyone know if they are supposed to stick on with an adhesive or bolt on in some way? cc @resra
  15. HarryBMW
    Ok they were mistaken. Thanks for clarifying @resra
  16. HarryBMW
    Thanks @resra. I actually called Ireland Engineering and they had some but at 82mm in diameter. Too large?

    Hi everyone, the center BMW badges on my stock 1976 2002 rims are faded. Does any one know where I can find quality ones to replace? Thanks

    I actually got the original bumpers taken in close to the body but did not remove them. So while they’re not “diving boards”, they aren’t euro style replacements either. I agree that the diving boards with the dish rims would look very odd. I decided to go with the stock 76 rims. Having them sand blasted and powder coated/painted to look like new. Now I just need the center BMW badge for each rim. My originals are faded. Could you link me to the Roundie example you’re referring to?
  19. HarryBMW
    Correct. I am looking for knob @John_in_VA

    Was actually just on your website @jireland2002 but couldn't find them. Care to share a link? Thanks in advance. Update: found the link but says you are out of stock? I am looking for Mahogany. https://www.iemotorsport.com/product/ie-wood-shift-knob/

    Noted, thanks. @Oldtimerfahrer

    I have desperately been looking for dish-style rims in good condition like the ones you see on 1600's, but have not been able to find them. While I do not like the original 1976 2002 rims or Alpina racing rims, I am hoping to find something that suits the car and looks good. At this time I am uncertain what to look for. So, my question is: what kind of vintage rims/hubcaps could I look to and where could I find them?

    Hi everyone, I am hoping to get a gear shifter for a 1976 2002. I am open to the original style or another type of vintage looking BMW shifter. Does anyone know where I can go to find one?
  24. HarryBMW
    @Schnellvintage thanks! Know what year? Sorry for the pesky questions.
  25. HarryBMW
    Thanks for your replies @Conserv and @wegweiser. They seem difficult to find and prone to damage, neither of which are ideal. What do you know about the below option? I might go this route if I can find them:
