Although some parts (mainly body) are getting harder to find for my '73 2002, it's amazing how my BMW dealer still is able to deliver many engine and transmission parts.
As the engine was out I decided to overhaul it. As a tii has other pistons than a normal 2002 it was going to be disassembled anyway. So there you go: some oversize pistons.
And yes, they're from Mahle:
Other part I was amazed was still newly obtainable was the front wiring-harness.
The one in the donor-car was completely crap: seem to have been messed with a lot by previous owners looking at all the tape and clearly some rat or other rodent had some fun with it.
There is also a wiring-harness for the back of the car. That one wasn't that bad but I'll have to look into that some more as this one is not available anymore.
Still waiting for other parts from BMW for my 5-speed transmission. And my Kügelfischer pump is going to Germany next week to be overhauled by an ex-Bosch engineer who has all the right tools taken from the factory when he retired. The end of this project is getting further and further away...

Very cool. When I worked at CCC I was able to get a bunch of factory parts from the dealership for their '74 "M2" (2002tii with an S14)

when I had my '02's and my 3.0s I made great friends with William in parts from Ralph Schomp BMW in Denver. I was always stunned that they could get me all kinds of stuff for any of my rides. This was before the internet got to be what it is today, but if you ever get stuck give him a call

If I ever get my hands on an S14, I'm using my donor-car as a next project. I need more time off. I need more cash.

Thanks! 89,47 is 0,5mm oversized, the maximum you're gonna get from BMW/Mahle.

I know and it's a great story. But that's story is not about a... Touring! Touring specific (body-) parts are really difficult. Things I'm having trouble with finding for example:
- Rear-lights (they're always round but always bigger than the lights of a normal 02
- Tii gasoline tank (different shape than a normal 02)
