Your kid and 2002 pics

Haven't seen this kind of thread pop up around here yet. I know there are plenty of us on here that are parents and harbor secret hopes of sharing a greasy wrench with one of our own.   Then there are others who have realized that dream. Here's a tribute to passing on the passion.


My son Rowan. He loves being in the 2002, sits in the driver's seat and rows through the gears until he finds something else worth poking.

Great pics! A few years ago, I had some friends over for dinner one night and their young son wanted to sit in my tii. He was having fun with the steering wheel, shifter and buttons while I talked with his father in the garage. A few days later, we had a large snow storm so I opened the garage, did some shoveling and later started the tii. I walked to the front of the garage and noticed a sharp burning smell and noticed the driving lights were on (covers were still on). The little boy had pressed the fog light button in the console while he was messing around. Glad I turned them off before the covers melted.

When my niece turned 16, I took her for a drive in my tii. She wasn't impressed by the "old" car, asked about ABS and airbags constantly and was glad the seat belts actually worked.

Get them involved while they are young!!

My now 23 year-old son Tim on the way back from Rob Torres' 2002 SLO event. Could have turned out to have been a very tragic day, but somehow didn't. After a lot of luck and hard braking, we ended up with the nose of the Targa under the trailer (of a tractor trailer) that was taking up more than his share of a tight blind curve on PCH 1. My windshield was about 2 feet from the trailer frame when everyone finally came to a stop. I thought the experience had traumatized Tim for life, but his only immediate reaction was an excited "Wow!". Kids...

    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
