Hey, I'm looking to delete this thread but will be back once the car is cleaned up.

How would I go about deleting this?

 

You can't.

My car's details (I missed it by 5 days...)

 

The BMW 2002 tii US VIN 2760453 was manufactured on January 05th, 1972 and delivered on January 11th, 1972 to the BMW importer Hoffman Motors Corp. in New York City. The original colour was Malaga, paint code 021.

Thus, I reallly don’t know whether any ‘02’s received a 5-speed shift pattern on the dash!

 

Steve:

 

This 71 in Florida paint had a factory installed Close Ratio 5 speed and doesn't appear to have any shift pattern stencil on the dash.

Thank you, Mark!

 

I’m guessing the factory didn’t own a 5-speed shift pattern for such examples.

 

And, wow: what is that? An early 1971 Florida-over-Tobacco 2002 delivered new (to CA?) with close-ratio 5-speed. And it acquired a U.S. version of the sport steering wheel somewhere along the way. Given that it’s a pre-Modell 71 (built in or, more likely, before April 1971), I suppose that this could be a “fire-in-the-steering-wheel-factory-era” car, which acquired the wheel at the factory... ☺️

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

dude...deleting a 3 page post is not very neighborly...think of all the folks that might have learned from your question

If I had to guess — and I do like to guess — I suspect he’d like to “control the narrative” upon resale....

I resist guessing ... but I’m with @Conserv on this one. I wonder if @02Les has it documented in the database already. -KB

Alright, this is why I wanted it deleted. It's not documented already. It's my car and asking to delete has nothing to do with reselling and I'm not a control freak. This is why I wanted this deleted it's too much.

Man, it's like you just messed with the 2002 worlds version of the FBI, CIA, and INTERPOL all at once! 

 

Good luck,

I'm not sure this attitude goes well with vintage cars. 

 

I'd say more of a "what's done, that's done, now the consequences" would be more appropriate then "oh snap, went wrong, now let's delete it". Would you delete this beautiful 2002 in your life with the same spirit? Because, trust me, there will be plenty of "those" moments where it all seems like not worth the hassle.

yep....to what he said

[dang]

This is how it goes these days.  People take ten selfies and pick the the one they look the best in.  Not really reality is it?  People post about stuff they want info about and then delete it to kill the history.  Quoting when you reply saves most of the content...
