Florida 02 Registry

[75Inka]

Another Miami 2002 here, '75 in Inka.  Picture is of the car when I bought it, since then I have deleted the front bumper and replaced the steering wheel with a nice wood Momo.  Next on the list is some period seats (if anyone local has a set - I'm interested!) and chasing down the low oil pressure when warm.  Once that is sorted she will be a great little runner!

Welcome to the Florida section.  Thanks for beautiful pic and register.   I hope we can all get together for a drive.

Have just relocated to Vero Beach from San Diego, CA. Brought my '73 Tii with me. Have owned it for almost 20 years now. It appears as if the last post on this thread was close to 2 years ago, which makes me think we 2002 owners are pretty spread out in the Sunshine State, hence not close enough to support a cohesive group. Hope someone will convince me that's incorrect.

Hi LJ,

Welcome to Florida!  You will find there isn't the strong 2002 community you had on the west coast, but on the plus side we don't have income tax!  Haha.

Maybe the local chapter of the BMWCCA is a good place to meet fellow 2002s?  I joined after getting mine, but haven't made it to any meets yet.

I guess I'll start checking out local events and yes, the BMWCCA Roundel magazine will no doubt help in identifying them. Might be able to use some of that saved tax money towards a new subscription.

I have been on FAQ for several years, can't believe I never noticed the Florida registry, although I have met quite a few members already through Facebook, etc, and in person.  My '02 is a real deal Alpina-built 1971 2002 that I have owned since 1982.  Found it in Hialeah when I lived in South Florida. It was in sad shape.  Bodywork and paint in the '80s, continuous freshening and upgrades since.  Most recently the seats were re-covered in replica Alpina fabric. I'm in Jacksonville.

Brian from Palm Harbor which is near Tampa.  Have owned several 2002s.  My blue '74 car has been with me since the late 1980s.   Have one recent acquisition which is a black '76 with an S14.   Still need to sort out a few things on that one.  

 

We have a small group that has breakfast get togethers every couple months.  We usually meet in the Clearwater area often after the Dupont Registry cars and coffee.  I think we had 6 cars two weeks ago.   Next one will probably be in January.  If anyone wants to join us, I'll add you to our email list.    

 

Pic Below is of my black '76.
