I recently bought a 1976 2002 and noticed the dipstick and tube are missing, replaced with a bolt. This one looks as if the original is pressed in. Is this still available or do I have to fabricate one?
I wouldn't know definitively - looking at realoem.com for a last-production-month '02, looks like dipstick-tube assembly parts may be available, but whole dipstick tubes may be nla. Put the correct prod. yr/month into realoem.com and perhaps google part numbers - http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=2215-USA-07-1976-114-BMW-2002&diagId=11_2377 Might try these guys for a dipstick tube - I wouldn't know offhand how it goes into the block though, not my knowledge base, but they should be able to tell you - http://www.2002ad.com/pages/about.cfm
