If this can help, from a ‘69 ti, unrestored engine bay, delivered to Canada

This is fantastic, Pierre - thank you!

It depends on how picky you are.  I ended up buying sets from 3 different sources and using the best ones out of each batch.  Every set had at least one sticker that just wasn't correct.  I couldn't find the Colorado sticker with the proper italic font, so I had that one made.  There was quite a bit of variability on the stickers over time, so if you care, pay attention to that.  

 

I took photos of each original sticker on my 71 ti before I had it painted.  I can send you those photos when I get home next week if it would be helpful to you.

 

Quite a few sticker threads on here to look through too.

Thanks, Andy - pics would be amazing! Also, do you still have the template/file for the Colorado decal you had made up?

Do you have any pictures taken before it was sent to the body shop?  Or perhaps from the previous owner?

Sadly no.

Hello Friends -

When my Colorado 1970 BMW Ti was repainted, the engine bay decals were lost.

Pics are attached of my bay. Which ones am I missing? Looks like all of them?

Additionally, I understand early or euro cars may have had different placements for these? (Can anyone confirm?)

Apologies if this is redundant, I searched other threads and could not find a source.

If anyone has photos they can share I'd be grateful!

Thanks!
Michael

Now that esty helped me find them, I'd love to get some input on placement. Thank you!

Thanks, Esty!

Hello Friends -

Is there a source that either repros these or are they still available OEM?

I have heard about a certain "Frank in NL" who has these, but have not been able to find him.

It sounds like maybe you are looking for the "horn contact pin"? They are still available new, I have been getting them on eBay through the link below. Uli is correct, the original "bullet" style connector has broken off your horn button (a very very common thing to happen) and it was replaced with the flat style everyone uses now. This is actually a good thing in some ways as it will match up with the new contact pin. (Amazing Alpina steering wheel BTW!)

It is used in various Momo hub kits such as MC0230 (Porsche), MC2507 (Audi), MC0225 (Opel), MC9010 (Volvo) etc. PHOTOGRAPHS 5, 6 AND 7 SHOW THE PIN POSITIONED WITHIN HUB KITS. The brass pin has a protruding length of 15mm when fully extended.the pin is spring loaded and will...

 

 

Thanks so much for the guidance, Gents, this forum is just incredible!

I just ordered the part you recommend from England; amazing you have the bullseye same horn button, too.

Are these fairly rare?

Will keep everyone posted once it's in!

Hello Friends -

I am searching for the "horn contact brush" for my early Momo Alpina wheel.

Were these specific to each wheel type, or were they interchangeable?

Any info on where to find one, or rig one up, would be much appreciated. 

I include pics of the button and wheel.

(You never realize how important having a working horn is until you don't have one!)

Many Thanks

Thank you, Michael! Now i just need to install the rebuilt Keinzle clock!

Hi Friends!

Just wanted to share updated photos of my 1970 Ti after installation of CMR's and Pirellis.

Merry Christmas!

Michael,

First: they’re gorgeous!

 

Was the seller, perhaps, German? If so, since your Alpina steelies are not “double hump” (abbreviated as “H2” on the rim), the German TUV would, indeed, require you to use tubes. Without the double humps, tires are slightly more likely to unseat, or “break their bead” during hard cornering or other extreme conditions. The tube would keep the tire inflated if you unseated the tire under those conditions.

 

In the U.S., however — a.k.a., the land of bald tires and “any-lane-can-be-your-lane”, where road safety is considered “over-rated” — there’s no particular reason that you must use a tube on an Alpina steelie, whereas a Borrani wire wheel needs a tube to avoid leaks. The German TUV is simply safety conscious and conservative. Unless…. unless, of course, you’re already running, or plan to run, a tube-type tire, such as a Michelin XAS, the most common original tire on most U.S.-imported ‘02’s, and probably installed by the factory on most Euro-market ti’s and tii’s. 

 

The XAS, introduced in 1965, was also produced in a tubeless version from ca. 1975 until the end of regular production (1985-ish?). But only the original tube-type version has been produced since that time.

 

Considering that you’re rockin’ a ti — I’m guessing with both Alpina steelies and a 235/5 dogleg — you should seriously consider 165HR13 XAS’s for those steelies. Even when Alpina was modding an ‘02 in these early years (before 1974-ish), they stuck with 165HR13 XAS’s. The first photo below shows a no-expense-spared Alpina-modded 1600-2, in 1967, with the 5 1/2” steelies and XAS’s. The second photo shows a no-expense-spared Alpina-modded 2002ti, in 1969, with Alpina 5 1/2” alloys and XAS’s. The only other tire I would consider for a ti is probably the Pirelli CN36 in 185/70 HR13. I’m not certain, however, when the CN36 was introduced; it might have been 1971 or 1972. I haven’t done the research. Of course, I believe a “period look” is supercritical on a ti, but you might want to consider the source for this sage advice… ?

When you order your XAS’s or CN36’s from Longstone Tyre, they can provide tubes — completely optional for the CN36’s in the U.S.… ?

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

 

 

Thank you for this incredible wealth of knowledge, Steve! Yes, I purchased them from a fine gentleman in Munchen.   I plan to mount the Pirelli CN36’s which are currently in my garage. Since I do intend for spirited driving AND authenticity, perhaps I should go the tube route. I purchased the tires from Lucas, so will check their site for the tubes.

Many thanks,

Michael

PS

Yes, dogleg, 3:64 limited slip!

Will post some pics and add to Ti registry soon!

Hello!

I just purchased some 13x5.5 Alpina CMR steelies for my 2002ti,

I have been informed that I will need to install tubes by the seller.

Can anyone advise me on this, and what the correct tube would be and where I could find them?

Many thanks,

Michael

Thank you Steve - your ears must have been ringing! Coupe needs a good tune, don't want her to get jealous of the Ti.

Can you please share who the new member friend is so they can be vetted for banning by the admins?

Glad to be wrong, sir! Try posting your topic in the general 2002 forums for better engagement, This is a Ti specific forum.

Getting some scammer energy from you. Will await your next post!

Is this unused? Looks to be but wanted to ask, Thanks.

The admins banned him/them. Doesn't mean they won't pop back up under a new handle, so remain vigilant....

That's great news - thank you!

No, no further communication with @66gill since the scam attempt.

Admins: Is there no way to ban @rayden, @66gill and other established scammers from this forum?

is this still available?

Thanks, @Jam - looks great! May I ask what method you used to strip it?

Hi Ti Friends.

Rookie question here, and my apologies but I have not been able to find definitive info on this in my searching.

Valve covers on Ti's, I imagine were all unfinished from the factory as all M10s were, correct?

I only ask because i have seen photos of a few Ti's that are powder coated black, as that in my car is.

Just wondering if there is some off chance this was a Ti thing, but my gut says no, in which case i would like to remove the finish.

Maybe the black was an Alpina inspired mod for some folks?

Thank you!
