    @Dugan27, hi, others here likely know this site well but I stumbled here - https://www.2002ad.com/pages/carsforsale.cfm - after exhausting the usual places to search. The 73tii in Golf was appealing to me but everyone has their own tastes. Another thought may be through your local BMW mechanic if you have one. That's how I found my 74tii earlier this year after years of looking. He did service from time to time on the car and knew the owner was getting ready to sell. You just never know where one might turn up but I am sure your 02 out there waiting for you. Good luck in your search. Cheers, Charles

    @2002iii, my 74tii is a factory Schwarz. To echo Steve’s point, most of 02’s I have seen over the years in Schwarz are repaints.

    I love my Schwarz but Inka would be my favorite.

    @shermanmartinez, thanks but I got the part I needed.

    @Conserv, Thanks Steve. I have posted a few pictures below. As I noted, the belt won't extend from the receptacle. I don't know if the belt can be fixed. Thanks, Charles

    Looking for a rear seat belt for my 74 tii. The belt on the rear driver's side only pulls out a few inches, can't get it to pull out all the way. Need it to work so I can take both grandkids for a ride! Thanks, Charles

    Took the Bavaria to the body shop today. They say she can be saved. Have to first find a windshield seal. If anyone knows where I can find one please let me know. Thanks

    @Conserv, Steve, "Lipstick on a pig" 02's seems to be a Beverly Hills Car Club specialty. Cheers, Charles

    Wow Nick, that is definitely worse and to lose the whole car, just a killer. Really sorry for your loss. Love the touring cars by the way. Could definitely see one of those in my future. Nice 73 in Inka just sold on BaT. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-bmw-2002-touring-5/

    @bavariaboy, stupid me had just liability no comprehensive so the repairs are totally on my nickel! The car is a rust bucket that hardly ever got driven, but never figured a tree landing on it. Lesson learned. I spent a few thousand in 2017 to get the car back on the road so in for a penny, in for a pound I guess at this point. I am going to try the fix @pierre² suggests, see if I can get the windshield fix, drive it with lumps in the roof. Thankfully my tii made it through the storm safe and secure in the garage.

    Oh my, sorry about your loss Nick. I am hoping to save mine.

    Not 02 related, but still painful. My poor Bavaria. We had a bad storm roll through late Thursday night, winds took out the tops of my trees, set a large limb down across the top of my 73 Bavaria, banged it up pretty bad. Going to start tomorrow morning to see what it is going to take to get fixed, put a new windshield put in. It's a rust bucket but the engine is solid and she runs great. Have had the car for over 30 years.

    I need an 02 in every color!

    @02Les, what did it sell for back in 16? Is there a link? How you know this I can only guess. You track sales over the years? Very impressive if so. @bavariaboy, I have read and been told Schwarz is rare but don't really know. Looking through years of auctions and ads, I can say that I can't recall ever seeing an original Schwarz (outside my own), they have all been resprays.

    My 74, VIN 2781801, is an original Schwarz. Love the black, goes great with the diving boards! Not sure the reserve but looks well maintained, garage kept. I need another 02 for a daily driver.
  17. Charles in PA
    I have learned a lot from the BaT comments, will make a few sometimes. I wish I had more money to bid, buy these cars, don't we all. My dream would a shot like @BarneyT put up of his driveway filled with 02's.
  18. Charles in PA
    He says in the details "I really hope that someone would keep the livery on this car as it is what people appreciate the most." I am thinking, yeah, no. I am an originalist and tend towards the unmodified, but this is one of the strangest things I have seen someone do to one of these cars.

    Thanks Steve, I missed that. Of course, mine has around 236k miles so perhaps it’s all perspective. Cheers
  21. Charles in PA
    I think the fact that the description in ICON called it the “rarest of the rare” maybe had a little bit to do with it. Original though not perfect and low miles probably didn’t hurt either. Hey, however people want to spend their money. My family and friends thought I was nuts for spending a lot for my tii. One of the best purchases I ever made.
  22. Charles in PA
    Congratulations on your purchase @lewisfoto. Nice pick-up, enjoy.

    Thanks Mike, good advice, appreciate it. The FAQ community here has been great, really friendly folks who are happy to help, and very willing to share their knowledge and passion for these cars. Have really enjoyed being a member. Cheers!

    Thanks lewisfoto. A few months back when I was in the market I saw a 73tii on BHCC that caught my eye until my mechanic ran down a long list of problems he thought lurking just looking at the photos. I am not that expert nor a gear head so I have been trying to learn as much as possible, pick the brains of the experts here. Thanks again. Cheers, Charles
