I bought my first 1600 the day after I graduated from high school in 1973 I bought my '70 on my 20th birthday in 1974 5 months after riding around the Nurburgring in a Turbo. Bought the Turbo in 2002 and drove it for the first time in 2010. I'm 57 and have had at least one '02 in my life non stop for 39 years as of June 12.

I'm 35, and my wife is 36 just like our 76.

I started tinkering with 02s when I was 15 so been around them about 20 years, but I didn't get one until this year. I traded a 67 VW bus for it.

I am 67. drove my first 2002 in 1968 and fell in love/lust. I told my wife (of 4 months) that I was going to own one - someday. I bought my first one in 1974. My oldest car (project) is a '73, but i have a few others (and parts, too)

(nt)I'm 73 and my 1972 project, with work spread out over more than twenty years, is almost ready to start. I took the best parts from four 2002s to assemble my '72. Strange thing is I've never driven a 2002.

    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
