BMWCCA los angeles chapter memorial event for leif anderberg


WINDNSEA

Recommended Posts

As many of you may know, Leif Anderberg passed away earlier this year. We of the BMW Clubs in Los Angeles are going to have a memorial gathering for him at Santa Anita Racetrack - THE DAY AFTER THE VINTAGE BMW RALLYE UP HIGHWAY 33 IN VENTURA COUNTY!!!!!

Irregardles of planning conflicts, we need to have all of you that are available to attend and pay tribute to one of the most influential BMW enthusiasts who ever came to our shores! In fact, Leif and his (earlier departed) wife Fia, were some of the first people to be recognized as "Friends of BMW" by BMW AG.

After your Saturday rally, would you please consider staying overnight in the Pasadena/Arcadia area or (at the least) coming the next day to Santa Anita Racetrack to pay tribute to Leif and his family.

Info is as follows on the next link:

This will be a BMW Event in Los Angeles to salute a person who has, whether or not you believe it or not, has made an impact on your life (as a BMW owner and enthusiast)!

Really wish I could attend this event, along with my Dad. I met Leif before I was old enough to remember. It was probably Octberfest '77 in the Bay Area where I must have been about three as my parent's were active Golden Gate Chapter members from '76 through the late '90s. Kindred spirits, as we both collect BMW models and have undying passion and knowledge of these cars we love.

I will be there in heart if not in person. Have a good time!

Cheers,

    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
