BMW Fuel Injection Failures by BMW 2002 Restoration

The filter is so efficient that it soon becomes clogged.

First, there's some missing, hard starting when hot, and lack of top end. Then comes difficulty going over 50 mph, then trouble getting to 50, then a top end of 20 mph. This can occur overnight or in the course of just one day's driving.

Carry a BMW fuel filter with you. It's a part unique to BMW (nothing else can be substituted) and the car will not run with it missing.

Cut an old one in half with a hacksaw and note the grundge trapped in it. You will need a 10mm wrench and two 17mm wrenches to change the filter.

As a general rule, try not to gas up while gas is being delivered at the station too much sediment gets stirred up. It will settle out in about ten minutes.

Remember that tanks are lower at many gas stations these days and the chances are greater that some sediment will get into your tank.

Fuel Filter Clogging Tips by BMW 2002 Restoration

Ryan makes a great point. And he didn't just leave it at that. Ryan took some initiative to propose a redesigned website for BMW.

Proposed Website Redesign

You can read his full case study here.

As a BMW enthusiast yourself, what are your thought on the BMW experience? Should BMW step up their efforts and create a more engaging experience for their fans?

Case Study for BMW Website Redesign by BMW 2002 Restoration

Disclosure
Before I begin, I should mention 02restoration.com isn’t my day job. My real day job is advertising, design, marketing, and social media consulting. In fact, reviewing website content and usability is one of the services my company offers. As such, I'm being compensated for my time to write this. My only condition was I would write a completely unbiased review—positive or negative I would spill it all—otherwise, it wouldn't benefit you. And without hesitation, they agreed. So without clicking a single link, you can already tell they're confident in the insurance services and information they offer.

As you can imagine, this review is going to go a bit deeper than a simple thumbs-up or thumbs-down. So I’ll apologize in advance if I start using web geek terminology.

Now that’s out of the way, onto the review.

How do you spell that again?

As it took about a week before I had time to review the site, the first thing I did was go to CheapAutoInsurance.com. Interestingly enough, that wasn’t their site, so don’t go there. Instead, I was presented with some sort of "Made for Adsense" site. You’ve seen them, a page filled with links disguised as content. In reality, they’re links to other sites. If you click on a link, you’re redirected to another website and the site owner gets paid for the click-through.

The mistake was that my memory said, “Auto”, but the site name is "Autos" – CheapAutosInsurance.com. When I realized the mistake I went back to the original email and clicked on the link. Ironically, when I bookmarked the site, the bookmark says, “Cheap Auto Insurance”. Hmmm?

Bookmark Worthy Content

I thought I knew quite a bit about auto insurance until I reviewed information on this site. Wow, between the definitions of terms, explanations of all the different auto insurance coverage and the great tips, I certainly learned a lot. I think you will too.

On the downside, I couldn’t find any car insurance information specific to classic or antique cars like my 1972 BMW 2002. I did find a link for "50’s car insurance" but that was for people 50 years of age and older.

Free Bonuses

I’m going to skip ahead a tad to let you know once you get through the process of filling out the pages for getting an auto insurance quote, they give you four great PDF’s with loads of great information—all for free!

The PDFs covered Auto, Health, Home, and Life Insurance and contain questions, terminology, worksheets and a checklist for each. Very useful stuff.

Managing Expectations

First thing I expected was that I’d fill out some sort of form and get an instant quote. That’s not how it works. And, unfortunately, they don’t tell you otherwise.

Before you go through the process, let me explain some stuff they don’t (and really should).

1. Before you start their cheap car insurance quote process, make sure you have a copy of your current insurance policy. You’ll need it (at least I did) in order to enter specific coverage information. That way you can get an apples-to-apples quote.
2. The process is a bit long—at least it really felt long because there wasn’t a visual indicator to let me know how long or how many steps were in the process. Just be prepared to spend 10 minutes or so.
3. You’re not going to get an instant auto insurance quote.
   The purpose of the site is to match you with insurance companies (I have no idea what criteria they use). When you complete the request process, a list of insurance companies will be displayed that you’ve been matched with. Those companies will then contact you by phone or email (you have a choice) with their quote.

Actual Insurance Quotes

Of the two companies I was matched with, both contacted me. Although I only ended up speaking with one of the two companies, both were very professional. The second left a very professional voice message.

Although the agent I spoke with was very helpful, there was an initial bit of confusion when he told me the quote came through "InsureMe". Huh?

I think CAI must work as a partner or affiliate of InsureMe—perhaps getting paid for the leads they generate. Not that it really makes a difference, but would be helpful if this was explained in advance in order to avoid confusion.

Site Usability

I would have to say that as much information and tips that CheapAutosInsurance.com offers they really should rework the site to be more user-friendly. I went to the site looking for expert guidance and ease in accomplishing my task, so I would like the process kept simple.

For instance, the site needs to help take the customer effortlessly from terms & definitions, to FAQ's, to basic tips, and finally to the quote stage without having to search around the site for each bit of information you might need. This is even more important if you don’t know what you need.

Even though the information is divided into sections, I don’t really want to read through all the details. I just want guidance and the highlights. If I need more information or explanation, then I will read more or just do a search. Unfortunately, the site doesn’t have a search function.

The site might also consider giving their customers some idea of the amount of steps involved in getting a quote and the information they will need in front of them before they start. They should also mention the great PDF's you’ll get after completing the quote process. In fact, if they mentioned this upfront they’d probably get more people to complete the quote request process.

Also, they should tell you (in advance) that you will not get an instant car insurance quote. Instead, the various insurance companies you’re matched with will provide quotes.

The site may also consider having a separate page that provides a summary of basic terms, coverage’s and tips as reference for the customer to refer to while going through the quote process. I, for one, was confused about a specific question. In the end, I found out the question was asking about my deductible and not the actual coverage. That said, the agent I spoke with quickly updated the quote with the correct information.

CAI should also include a warning that some people may not be considered for insurance and why, before they start the quote process. According to the agent, this comes into play if you have a lapse in auto insurance coverage.

From a readability standpoint, I found the text size to be quite small and difficult to read. And when you factor in the yellow colored subheadings, it gets really hard on the eyes. Not really surprising considering most sites these days are designed by young people with great eyesight and tend to think small font sizes look good. So go ahead and make your visit more comfortable by manually increasing the font size in your web browser.

Along with the font size, the line length is way too long—makes me feel like the sentences will never end. They could make the main column shorter (recommended width should be no more than 520px), but they have this huge “Get a free quote” banner in the middle of the text. Which, by the way, is a really bad placement and greatly reduces click-through’s. Not only because where it’s placed, but because too many people will ignore it thinking it’s an advertisement.

Okay, enough with all the techy stuff, onto the bottom-line summary.

Summary

I feel that CheapAutosInsurance.com provided me with the knowledge and tips I needed to get the best available deal on auto insurance and some great PDF’s to boot—even though it did take more time than I really wanted to spend.

Check out their site now. Can’t guarantee you’ll save money on your auto insurance, but you won’t be disappointed with their content.

Please let me know if this review was helpful to you. If so, I’ll keep it on the radar to review more sites and services in the future.

Happy motoring!

Attached is a photo of my 1967 BMW 1600.

My (4) children have gone to college and as the economy allows, I hope to give the 1600's interior and bodywork the deserved attention that is required after all these years. I have done the body once, extensively, but that was 20 years ago now.

Have you ever heard of a guy by the name of Gene Underwood? he was the Cedar Rapids, Iowa BMW service manager in the early 70's, also a Formula V racer, the engine builder and former owner of this car. In essence, this car was his baby.

I purchased the car in 1976 and while the car was absolutely stock with the exception of slightly larger than stock Borrani wheels, the motor was seriously modified. It was set up much like the 1800 TiSA motor pictured in the recent Roundel (top of page 77) with dual Weber 45 DCOE sidedrafts, Alpina racing pistons, Alpina race cam,a big air box with horns at the ends and a special Underwood built distributor. I have tried my best to keep the motor as is although its now got a Tii distributor and the air box is in my barn as I could not replace the rubber sleeves from the Webers to the box when they cracked years ago.

The sun visor holders are fragile, replacing them with new (OEM) ones is an expense you don't need to incur as you can easily use visor holders from a BMW E-30. Not only do they bolt in without modification, they're really inexpensive - dime-a-dozen from any bone yard.

Inexpensive BMW 2002 Sun Visor Replacement Tip by BMW 2002 Restoration

Not that much moisture will condense on the inside of the lens but over a period of six months or so the high beam reflector will start to rust.

Do what the Europeans do. Tape the dust cover and the rubber or plastic boot to the back of the reflector in order to seal out the water.

Use racers tape or wide electrician's tape, and do it before you install the lights.

Don't touch the bulb. Just a trace of oil from your fingerprints is enough to make the bulb burn out prematurely -- like in five seconds. If you have touched the glass, clean it carefully with rubbing alcohol. Once you have driven with quartz iodine or quartz halogen lights, you'll wonder why we still use sealed beams with their inadequate and poorly directed illumination.

Q1 Headlight Installation and Rust Prevention by BMW 2002 Restoration

The graphic used on the "Classic BMW 2002" items is a photograph of my BMW 2002 which was then converted into half-tone art. Pretty cool. I thought.

The graphic of the "BMW 2002 front grille" was hand-drawn on the computer. Again, from a photo of my car.

So here's the thing. John G. Froemming (on behalf of the BMW Group) sent a notice to CafePress.com (where the shirts are sold through) stating that the "use of the BMW Grille Design mark infringes upon their intellectual property rights (trademark)."

CafePress' response was to remove all items displaying the Grille from their store -- which means they are no longer available in the store section on this site.

I can understand CafePress' response - heck, who wants to be sued by a mega automobile manufacturer over some cotton? Obviously not them.

I personally have a good amount of knowledge in the area of trademarks and intellectual property so I'm very careful about the merchandise/designs I create. In fact, I never even thought about putting the designs up for sale until other 2002 fans kept asking me where they could get one.

If BMW has a trademark on the 2002 front grille and feels my designs infringe upon those trademarks, then so be it, the designs need to go.

I guess the issue I'm having is how BMW decides which artwork infringes upon their trademarks.

Doing a quick search on the Internet, I came across hundreds of designs and photographs of BMWs. All makes, all models, all types of artwork showcasing BMW cars.

But none of those were targeted as infringing against BMWs trademarks because the art wasn't showing the front grill.

Just about any make, model, or year BMW that has hit the streets can be recognized from just about any angle. You would think that those design's, in and of themselves, would be trademarked. Yet, the only thing they're focusing on is the front grille.

I understand BMW, and other large corporations, must have a heck of a time keeping up with all the knockoffs people are selling and making a buck off their brand. I just find the line between the front grill versus any other part of a BMW that's instantly recognizable is kind of silly.

Granted, the front grill is very unique and I can understand BMW having a trademark on it. But by the same thinking, would you not think that the side, front, or rear your profile of a BMW would also have a trademark?

So, even though I can take a pretty good guess at what the final outcome is going to be, I'm going to write a letter to Mr. Froemming to see if perhaps there isn't a different solution that can be had -- other than taking the designs off the site. Again, I'm sure the designs will have to be forever rescinded to the depths of darkness, but at least I will have tried.

So, for the items that did sell, I would like to thank the people who purchased them. I hope you enjoy your shirts and, hopefully, come back to 02restoration.com to buy some new BMW 2002 designed merchandise. Obviously, without the front grille.

If you have any thoughts on the subject, I'd love the year them. Thanks, and happy motoring.

1989 BMW Vehicle Fuel Economy by BMW 2002 Restoration

When they break, as they always do, those corrosive crystals scatter everywhere and in a year or two, you'll notice a patch of gasoline forming on the garage floor. It's gas tank leak time!

Even if you've not got a gas tank leak, I'd suggest you pull the tank the next time it's near empty and check for rust along the seams. Following the steps in the Service and Repair Handbook, (mine's a Clymer and it's great).

1. Disconnect battery ground strap.
2. Remove tank drain plug.
3. Remove trunk floor panel and expose tank.
4. Disconnect the electrical leads on the sending unit.
5. Disconnect fuel hose from sending unit.
6. Detach hose clamp at bottom of filter neck and push rubber sleeve upward (also disconnect fuel return line and plug is on post-73 cars).
7. Unscrew fuel tank securing bolts and lift out the tank.

If you see any signs of rust or corrosion, steelwool them down to bare metal and spray on three to four coats of rustproof paint. The preventive care is well worth the effort, as BMW 2002 tanks cost $80-$100 to replace, and welding or soldering a leak is not without its drawbacks.

If you do have a repairable leak, shop around until you find a gas tank repair shop that fills the tank with inert gas, not water, before welding. The guy who fixed mine steam cleaned and submerged the tank and now, a month later, I've had to clean the fuel pump filter, replace fuel line filters twice, and pull and rebuild the carburetor. A clot of rust doesn't do much for an idle jet. After all that, it looks like I'll be able to keep up with the sludge accumulation by pulling and rinsing the tank once more and changing fuel line filters again.

Believe me, the half-hour it takes to remove and clean the tank is well worth the effort.

Author: Kevin J. Craw

Tech Ed. Note:

The rust, more likely than not, was scale in the tank. After the repair, rinse tank out with a gallon of gas and dump it.

Gas tank leaks are caused more often by the sponge rubber that the tank is mounted on. This rubber catches the water thrown up by the rear wheels and causes the tank to rust out. I've replaced many gas tanks on 3 year old cars where the owners never had rock salt in the trunk compartment. Possible cure? Remove the gas tank when it's a year old, clean the rubber, and spray a good undercoating on the tank after wire brushing it and painting it with a zinc chromate-based primer

BMW 3 Series TV Commercial by BMW 2002 Restoration

Whenever the discussion arose, we were always talking about his car so it never even occurred to me that they might sell parts for our classic BMW 2002's. Dumb thinking I know, but there are very few places that cater to older vehicles—classic or not. Which, of course, is why I started a list on the BMW parts suppliers page.

So earlier this evening my brother sent me an email with the link to Autohaus Arizona. Out of sheer curiosity, I decided to select "1972" and "BMW" from the search drop down menus. And lo and behold, they carry parts for BMW 2002!

In fact, they look to carry parts for BMW model 2002, 2002 Cabriolet, 2002tii, 2800, 3.0 Bavaria, 3.0CS, 3.0CSI, and the 3.0S. Granted, that's just the listed models (see below) for year 1972.

Here's a list of BMW models they carry parts for as listed on their BMW Parts page -- pretty impressive.

Anyway, my brother is pretty picky about auto parts so recommendations don't come lightly.

As for the "new" part, Autohaus has apparently been around for 25+ years so I guess this means that they're just "new to me".

Good luck in your hunt.

Make sure you use a fuse link in all QI lighting systems!

For some reason, BMW tends to fuse the low-beam circuits, but not the highs. (On pre- '72 BMWs neither circuit is fused.)

Buy an in-line fuse holder (about seventy-five cents including a 20-amp fuse) and install it in the high-beam line. If the lamp element does not conduct properly, it can effectively produce a "dead short" to ground.

The lamp wiring then heats up, exactly like an electric resistance heater, melting the vinyl insulation. It is even possible to start an electric fire this way. The "ounce of prevention" is very cheap.

I'll be glad to answer any questions on the particular procedure to use on your year and model BMW.

Important Q1 Light Relay Information by BMW 2002 Restoration

Most replacement elements available in this country are made by Phillips -- an H1 will fit anything that uses an H1, an H4 will fit in any H4 application, and so on.

Remember, don't touch that expensive new bulb with your fingers any oil left on the element will fry it soon after you install it and hit the light switch.
