  1. AND, don't call it a dash for an E10 for goodness sake.
  2. Still, it's annoying when you order an '02 part and get one for another model BMW...........................send it back?
  3. If a picture helps, well, see below. As the Knob/Button is sold separately it must be, at least, possible to fit a new one. Lever part # 51 23 1 801 019 Knob part # 41 33 5 680 162 (should be available in USA to save shipping cost)
  4. VIN 1677462 Sold on Ebay Mar '14 in Tallahassee, FL, to faqer dcmackintosh, Hood River, OR. Have not come across the car since. Do not know if the above faq man is still active. Car changed to Inka prior to 2014 auction.
  5. It's real. Here you go........... 6 Cylinder Conversion.pdf
  6. It's an American thing. '02s made Oct-Dec for the USA market are labelled & sold as next year's model. It's even Crazier now, we have Dealer ads on TV in July for the next year's model cars. Maybe soon you'll be able to buy a 2024 car in Jan 2023?
  7. Philadelphia, PA - 5 secs on Google?
  8. He may not know as much about the car as he thinks/states?
  9. Sometimes you do not have to change....just because you can.
  10. FWIW: Last RHD tii left the factory in October '75; last LHD tii was June '75. Quite a few of the 1975 RHD tiis were LUX versions. Perhaps a sales thing.
  11. Those so called "US" spacers were on Euro cars as well. I wonder how many more times these are going to be referred to as US spacers?????
  12. 02Les

    Bought an e12!

    Great cars. Here's my 1978 525 circa 1983.
  13. Why don't you specify (detail in words) what is actually wrong with the seat so us older guys have a clue about what the heck you're complaining about. Have a nice day.
  14. Do you have pics of, under the hood and in the trunk?
  15. @Komrade when this car was on Ebay in 2015, it had a pair of 'late' ('74+) front seats. Did you source and install a more original pair?
  16. Here's the page from my UK edition. I do not have a US edition. I suspect both editions are the same except for the front cover.
  17. The real English-English version shows a RHD '02. ?
  18. Is that the English Haynes or the American Haynes version? Timing mark opposite would mean it is aligned to (looking at) the block pointer.
  19. Water/rain runs down the rear window and under the trunk lid and is stopped by the trunk seal and directed toward the sides. This being the high point the water would then probably run down the side of the car. For sure the lower portion of the trunk/seal on the rear panel between the taillights is pretty much protected by the overhang of the trunk lid. Water entering the trunk is probably because the seal and the lid are not completely touching along the top/higher edge. IMHO: Logically you would position the join in the seal in the lowest position where it should, basically, remain dry. I.e., just like BMW did back in the day.
  20. Oh, is that how it works?
  21. On the right of the Faq Forum pages is "Upcoming Events". Currently shows only West Coast events, March thru' August. Umm, does Mid-America and The Vintage not merit inclusion?
  22. Can’t help with motor history, but…. Car was reportedly registered in CA in 2001 then GA in 2003. Was on Ebay in 2007 in Bonsall, CA. Then Craigslist Seller (Sporting Cars of Santa Barbara) in Buellton, CA, 2017-2018. Car was originally Granada.
  23. Whilst I believe the Touring will make it fine, not sure on the driver........even if Ray is buying.
  24. I read on your feedback post that your initial problem was when fitting the two year wheels..........on one side the hub pushed the centre cap out and the other side didn't. Is this part of your problem or did you resolve this as something else?
  25. IMO: if you must put chrome bumpers on a '74+ '02 and call it Euro, then do it like the Euro cars, especially if you are going to leave the knee moldings on. Putting pseudo '68 overriders on a '74+ car is insane to me........sorry if that offends anyone.
