York I understand what you are after but do not understand your narrow minded approach to getting it. Fact is, like EVERYONE has seemed to tell you is the car you are after probably does not exist or comes about so rarely that you are not in the circle of people that really own this level car. I have several friends that collect european cars etc, that have values well over 700k for some. Even these cars are restored by somebody to get them to this level. My feeling is you are blowing smoke and don't have the bankroll to actaully do a project like this. Otherwise you would.

You also need to understand that even when you replace old OEM parts on a car with new OEM parts the parts are not the same. Manufacturing has changed and often new OEM parts lack the quality of old OEM stuff. My recommendation is buy a newer BMW, restore yourself a mid 90's KIA

And thats for bashing on Andy, who happens to be an automotive journalist for a living

I'm not as dumb as I look

It seems that most of the posts on 2002faq are from guys who

only own a 2002 because they can not afford another BMW

I want a 2002 because I love them. As I WAIT FOR THE RIGHT CAR

I may buy a 330i or m3 to drive and buy the 2002 when it shows up.

This site was built by a guy who works on his own car, FOR the guy who works on his own car. So maybe you just need to find another place to hang out. One that caters to a gent like yourself. A man who is past the DIY stage in his life and just prefers to write a check. Because even the most impeccably restored cars here, were at least assembled by the owners. The most recent example being Pat, at the 2010 V@V. Brilliant entry. And the fact of the matter is, once you have connected with a 2002 on this level, you wouldn't sell if for 100K.

Your statement above is brash and inconsiderate. I could feel the collective "well fuck you pal" when I read it originally. Myself, I wasn't even going to read the thread again! I clicked "stop watching".. but alas, the window was still open and I refreshed to see how bad you got flamed..

The point is, you bit the proverbial hand, and you should explain yourself, or leave. Hemmings, Roundel, Select Classics, all seem to be better choices for a man of your stature and place, and that's fine. Just don't forget where you came from, and be insulting to those of us who prefer this culture to the alternative.

Peace out.

And for as the rest of you...

This is entertaining as hell...I dont think the 2002 is the car for you. You want what does not exist and if it does, it's not or sale. So buy a new BMW...hell if money is no object get a Veyron. See ya.

    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
