A long wondered question by many enthusiasts is - How many of the '02 series vehicles still actually remain in Australia today? Rust and accidents may have claimed a fair few, but there are still numerous owners out there.

 

The US based 2002 Registry does a good job of tracking them down, but its very hard to find the Australian cars on the list. Lets try and track down as many as we can 'down under', whether this be yours, a vehicle you've seen for sale, a mates car, a car thats gone to 'a better place', etc

 

Simply post up:

  • Vin number
  • Year
  • Colour
  • State
  • Attach a picture (or link from a host like Photobucket)
  • Any other comments / modifications etc.

Snowy

Location Sydney.

1972 , 2002.manual 4 speed.

1656661.

Chaminox, blue interior.

I am the third owner.

I have spent the last year cutting and welding  in new steel and am now refitting the interior inc new head liner and sunroof rebuild.

The only upgrade  by the PO seems to be a set of side draft webbers which sound fantastic.

My aim is to get her back to daily use for a bit then on to club plates .

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
