I have a ton of good stuff to install.  Kooglewerks header,Recaros,Panasports,new stereo plus a handful of little things.

I do want to attend Mid America with it and The Vintage also. Might take it on a quick trip to Mid Ohio for the IMSA weekend.

Would hope to do a couple of HPDE at Gingerman or Gratten Raceway.  We have talked about an overnight road trip to someplace unknown.  Just get in the 2002 and head out to where ever the road takes us.

Great picture.  Happy New Year.   I stayed up till 0100 first time in about three decades.  

I don't beat on mine but definitely run it through the gears.  I use 6000 as redline and shift in the high fives when out in the country.  Listening to the Webers sing some exhaust noise and rowing the 5 speed. 

Makes me smile life is good.  

Any time its in second or third gear.

If you strike out you can make your own with parts from eBay. I used throttle linkage parts for some e39 touring stuff.

Was a few years back and still works like a champ. Was cheap to do also. Good luck

I'm pretty sure it was drilled off center I think mine was a MTC part, half of what a oem one is.

Mine was purchased through Blunt also. I used the old link and swapped out the bushing and foam piece.

My concern now would be if you get it together will you ever be able to get it back apart.

Feel your pain I wasted several hours on this also.

I get a  couple a day also. Started Monday I think.

Full page ad that I have to close  to continue.

If this isn't an OEM BMW part, you might have issues. I bought an MTC joint and the holes weren't drilled straight.  I sent it back and bought a BMW branded part.

I had the same problem the hole is off center and wont line up when installed.

Great story, one of my favorite 02's is a beautiful example. Congrats,

Mike I have SuperBrightLEDs in my dash and brake lights and have been very happy with them.

I did the warning lights to all but the alternator also. In dash turn signal is almost too bright at night. Installed maybe two years ago. My 2002 doesn't get driven that much at night but throw nice light and the dimmable feature works well.

When my Son's friend found out I got a 2002 he wanted to know if it was a Circle one.

I have a collection of stuff to install hopefully over the winter.

Had the Recaros for two years, posted this pic before.

But hoping Santa brings a rear spoiler and Speedhut gauges

I do like the hardtop. 

My roundie gets called "A cute little car" by most people.

I'm guessing Parts Dist. Center ?

PayPal sent,thx

Looks like a ton o fun.  

Appears to be very nice.  Agreed with BaT for the most money. I would drive it a bit and then fix all the little minor stuff.

Good photos go a long way for sure even if you had to pay someone to shot them.

Read four or five of the good BaT sale listings to see what your in for. Also read a bunch of the ones that sold low or didn't 

make reserve to see what people point out about the cars. 

 While a little work to sell on BaT I think the car would do well, squaretails seem to hot right now. 

Good Luck with it.  

Looks like a dent to these old eyes.

sounds like a personal issue  

The horse doesn't seem to mind 

Cars were cheap when I was young. Now they're expensive, blah blah blah.

Gas was cheap I could eat lunch for a $1.25.  I went to a bar that had beer for a quarter a bottle.

Excuse me while I go out and beat my dead horse.  

I'm I doing it right. ?

Mine is a garage queen. In three summers it's seen rain once maybe twice. Having said that when the weather is good it gets daily driven.  I almost look for a reason to drive and yes there a days that I don't need a reason and I just take off for some back roads. The twin Webers and exhaust noise puts a smile on my face every time. Rowing the 5 speed enjoying such a great car.

So simple but so perfect.  Life is good. 

I need to raise my agreed value ?
