Hello fellow enthusiasts --

I am looking for the name of a guy who works on 02s up near Stanwood or Warm Beach; I used to work near there and would seemingly pass him once a week near Lake Goodwin going the other way (he had a lime colored 02 and mine is bright yellow; we looked like one of those sprite ads). At least I ASSUMED that was him; might have just been another enthusiast like me!

I ran into someone at the Marysville Home Depot who just had his white 02 beautifully restored by him and I was hoping to track him down and see about looking into the process of getting mine worked on. Just got a new job and this is looking more like something I'll be able to afford to do... I have a 72 roundie that is in relatively good shape, but is showing the age of being my daily driver for the last five years...

As an alternative, do folks remember the name/number of the guy in North Bend with like 75 02s around his property? He is a great guy and installed an electronic coil for me a couple of years ago, but I lost his number. My only problem with him is it is a massive haul to get to his place and ask someone to drive with me. But If I can't find the first guy's name he will do in a pinch.

OR as a second alternative, do any of you have experience with restoration and/or small projects that do this as either a side business or as a going concern? I'm in Mountlake Terrace...

Thank so much for ideas!

    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
