    What determines a vehicle being a TOURING model.

    We all know the 2002 Tii is the BMW touring marquee in our age group. It was a 4 cyl 4 speed. Hardly what I would want to tour a nation in. Now days the term Touring is used on many non BMW models that I also wouldn't want to tour our nation in . Just a question from the uneducated.

    E3/E9 AC Temp Control availability

    that is the one i used and it works great. It fits between the vent slats of the dash panel. It was 100 yesterday and the AC worked amazingly well on low. high was just too cold. The extra length of the capillary tube makes its use easy getting to the dash and into the vent box

    I had an employee that really liked my car but wouldn't stay away from it. I warned him on 2 occasions not to touch my car with out my help. I came into the shop and he was leaning against it and I fired him on the spot. I should have fired him the first time There are some things you just don't do!

    Rear power window questions

    I just removed switches and left wiring in place. No jumpers. When I reupholstered the arm rests I never cut out the switch hole. And you will have 2 extra switches. It may not work for all years.

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    That part was given to me by a previous member of our forum RANMAN. Only the old timers on the site will remember him. You will still have to close with authority (it is 50 years old). But door reveal and lock will be tight. Just my experience and hope that it might help. I have no idea of part...

    What did you do to your E9 today?

    I fought with mine for years and found out I was missing a part of the lock mechanism. in the pic it is the bright grey part that fits on the flip lever. It takes up the slack and aligns the door closure.
