Re: [MBZ] BMW 1973 2002 for over $40K???

Basically yes. The 74 had square tail lights instead of round (roundie) and ugly diving board bumpers. Pre 74 are more valuable but fine examples of any 1602, 2002, or 2002tii are starting to command big bucks as evidenced by this and other recent auctions. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 24,

Is the 1973 model the same body style as a 1974 2002? I had a neighbor years ago in the 90's who had a 1974 coupe, oxidized paint but very good condition. I wish I had bought that car when he moved "up" to a 1989 Accord. Kevin in Hillsboro, Oregon Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 23, 2017, at

Re: [MBZ] ML steering fluid

Haven't even taken the engine cover off. It's dark here, I just went out for a test drive before I went to bed, mainly to check headlight aim (too low), and the steering wasn't working right. I did a little Google-Fu and found out that the reservoir and the O-ring seal to the pump are a known

Re: [MBZ] ML steering fluid

Did you look in the reservoir while running? The fluid should be fairly calm and quiet looking not bubbly and frothy. If it's bubbly, the screen (?) has failed and the pump essential cavitates occasionally from sucking in the air/frothy oil. That was my experience on my w211. Bob R Sent from
