Interesting thread, made me look back in time, and realize that maybe I started something!

 

This was probably around 15 years ago, with Matt behind the wheel:

Then his BMW obsession started, and this was his second e30, a 482 whp turbo m52 beast:

Then he got a great deal on a touring, so why not bag it:

He never thought he would own a cabriolet, but this rare cab was just round the corner from him, so why not add to his collection:

and finally, he had to get rid of the VW Golf as a daily driver / parts hauler for this:

No 2002 for him, but the '02 certainly started his passion with BMWs.

Here are my boys. The 7yr old navigator is always ready to go for weekend post-32378-0-32847100-1449776139_thumb.jpredawn rides through the coastal range and in fact wakes his old man up to get going most of the time. For now the 1yr old just loves to climb around and pretend drive.

edit: I apologize for going off topic... no kids just a dog.  Heck, she is not even my dog.  She belongs to my girlfriend.  Thus I am way off topic again.  Sorry.  I like this thread.  Around here, pets (and cars for that matter) are like family members.   :)

     DISCLAIMER -- I now disagree with much of the timing advice I have given in the past.  I misinterpreted the distributor curves in the Blue Book as timing maps for our engines.  I've also switched from using ported-vacuum to manifold, with better results.  I apologize for adding confusion.  (3-28-2024)

    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
