  1. I got the same kit and tried pretty much everything. The closest I could ever get it shifting into reverse was with the console unscrewed, with enough free play to get all the way left. Unfortunately I never figured it out, just stuck with the original early linkage and new bushings. It felt like it was gonna break. If you figure it out I’d love to put the new style on! I got the newer shift rod with the push on shifter ball and everything but it never worked sadly.
  2. I was confused about the “number + value” for the torque specs, but I found this forum post saying it’s what you’re supposed to torque to the second time. I didn’t want to risk anything so I torqued a second time to the added value, and everything seems to be okay on my subframe. It definitely could be the value you’re not supposed to exceed, when placing a cotter pin or something like that. But not all the bolts/nuts have a pin, so I went with what this forum said. Good luck! Confused by Torque Spec WWW.BIMMERFORUMS.COM I have a question about a torque spec reference that is in the Bently manual that I could use some help with. I have tried...
  3. Interesting, must have moved since September of 2022! That’s too bad. Hopefully they are still good quality driveshafts.
  4. When I got a rebuilt driveshaft from 2002AD, they sent it to a place called “General Driveshaft Service, Inc.” down in Monrovia, CA. They didn’t want to tell me who but I found out after a whole ordeal that’s the place they use. Looks like $345 dollars for a rebuild on a 2 piece with a dyno balance. Their address is 133 W. Maple Avenue Monrovia, CA 91016 Hopefully that helps! I’m guessing this is where the places in SoCal send out driveshafts to be rebuilt. The quality is good so far! I’ve had no problems, for a stock engine/transmission 2002.
  5. I would never recommend buying anything from 2002AD, I was majorly burned by Ben and his team. Blunttech, Ireland Engineering, Rogers TII, Korman Autoworks, or even FCP Euro (get the part number off of RealOEM first). Any of these websites will take care of you and handle any problems you may have after delivery. The same cannot be said for 2002AD, at least not in my experience. If you end up deciding to buy from 2002AD anyways, don’t be surprised when they upcharge you after the fact, don’t deliver in a timely manner, and dismiss any real concerns and returns for defective parts.
  6. Group buy list: 1. Ian Dickerson, iandickerson@mac.com, Ian 2. Mike, mikejoyATshawDOTca 3. bob02, Bob Newman 4. Chris C, Yoda I’ll PM you about purchase details! Thank you.
  7. I don’t know how to help with any of your other questions, but with neutral being 4th gear, I had a very similar issue. If you take out the reverse switch, you can push the center of the hole in and it should pop down. After I pushed in the center, the transmission was now in neutral and could spin correctly in all gears. I think what happens is that the transmission gets stuck in reverse, and won’t spin correctly. I hope this ends up being the issue for you, but maybe not. I’d recommend giving it a shot!
  8. I kinda like the all black first one. Or the 3rd one. Is it a roundie or square light? You could stick a bmw roundel on the black plain one and it’d look very clean, in my opinion.
  9. Hello, I’m trying to find a set or at least 3 of these Cromodora lookalike/FPS wheels. They used to be sold by BMW until recently, now NLA. If anyone has these versions for sale, or knows of where I could buy them, please let me know! The part number is 36 11 1 107 915. Thanks

    I purchased my first 2002 in January 2022, an Agave green 1972 2002, with a sunroof. It was in a sad state when I got it, and is still being fixed as of June 2022. The paint, while still green, has been repainted poorly and has several spots of missing paint across the hood and roof. The paint "holes" were allegedly caused by malathion, an insecticide that was being used around the Bay Area back in the day. It has tobacco(?) brown seats, rectangular fog lights, and a 4 speed manual transmission. I've added a few pictures from today, and the pictures of when the previous/first owner bought the car. It now lives here in Petaluma, CA. The little rust spot on the rear trunk was fixed recently by replacing the rear lid with another agave green trunk.
  12. Hello, Do you have a 228mm flywheel, with good teeth/ring gear? Thank you.
