there has to be a reason that BMW sold black ones at the end. i haven't looked at that many '74 cars closely. but most of the bat 1 + 2 cars i have seen had black ones. there was one bat 1 that i saw that had white ones. the fjord bat 2 above was done by @Gerrit so perhaps he knows something more definitive. maybe it was just a bat thing.I think only white is correct. Lots of other issues with these, stickers, sticker locations, clocking of the distributor, strut bearing washers, …….
i bought white ones from BMW 6 or 7 years ago here in NA. i do believe that Chris is correct that all USA models had white ones as that is all that i have seen over here.I buy the black ones from Germany they must be correct!
I have also seen black on BMW pictures (service or user manual) for later cars.there has to be a reason that BMW sold black ones at the end. i haven't looked at that many '74 cars closely. but most of the bat 1 + 2 cars i have seen had black ones. there was one bat 1 that i saw that had white ones. the fjord bat 2 above was done by @Gerrit so perhaps he knows something more definitive. maybe it was just a bat thing.
Au contraire my friend!I don’t ever want Chris to look in my engine bay after I put it together![]()
