Photos of 1961 700 at BMW Museum last week

My photography style is more Picasso than it is Karsh, so please pardon the blurring and odd angles. I was attempting to capture the lines of the car and the interior details without using a tripod (verboten!) or breaking into the cars on display.

great 700 - too bad it's a lowly pushrod production motor

and not an over-head-cam RS version - but

I'd trade a small child for it.

    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
