Wow: what a show! The most impressive turnout of 02s on all variations I have ever seen. I think the Europeans will be envious of all the Turbos/Cabs/Bauers/Tourings/Ms/and Alpinas. Saw some great mechanical/aesthetic work along the lines of 02s. I have GOT to get a digital camera! Best part of the day was meeting the people behind the screenname/car I have become familiar with from the Boards and seeing the 2002 friends I only get to see once or twice a year. Man- we are lucky out here to have such a concentration of great 02s and vendors to keep them alive with bits and pieces. I was able to pick up the diff spacers and long bolts i needed from Nelson, and hell, i could have easily spent a few thousand on the really nice up-grade parts that were around ( if i had been foolish enough to bring that dough to the event). There were nearly 10 cars for sale too. One could have walked to the show and instantly become a 2002 family member with the attendant "anxious moments of ownership" ( see other posts!). In all, my favorite show yet. The A4 ran really well with my Sahara "protecting my 6"( THANKS JAKE!). Dont they say a 2002 runs really well just before.... ///

    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
