What's In The Box, BMW 2002 tii

Thanks so much for the video walk-through.  Surprised by the absence of proper door panels, while if it helps the two steering wheel and instrument panel options aren't really trim level related, but rather how the '74 and later cars were typically outfitted; i.e. faux wood instrument surround trim as well as the four spoke steering wheel. Certainly it's neat to see the aftermarket come through with one engine option, while at some point I suspect another firm will render good interior panels to introduce into the build.  I had a '72 and later a '74, hence it was a thrill to see a modern manufacturer step up to the topic given it's dear to me.  My 1:18th diecast garage has three examples within it.  Again, my thanks...

There is a BMW four in the Revell 3-series E21 kit,  maybe some kit bashing could be done with that one?

Technically it is the same M10 4 cylinder, but the one thing the USCP engines give you - there are 3 options now, N.A., side draft for the rally kits, and the turbo charged version - is the entire engine bay and suspension pieces needed to refab the missing pieces from deleting the curbside filler pieces. Yeah it's $50, but I guess how much do you want to pay for convenience?
