Squarelight 02 spotted in Beavercreek OH-- only the second

Recommended Posts

one I've seen seen on the road around here (that wasn't a friend's car) in at least five years. Car was Atlantik, driver about my age (older!). He was as surprised as I was when I pulled up alongside him in traffic.

Seeing other 2002s on the road in the Midwest isn't a real common occurance.

Anyone know who that was?

Jason: that sounds like Mr. Booher. Remember I tipped you off that he had an Atlantik squaretail and a garage full of parts with a roundie buried somewhere under the debris.... I recall that it was 'no deal' when you offered to buy some of his stash. Mr. Booher lives just off of Wilmington Pike; he seems like an odd one to me.

nice but not pristine--at least no rust, damage or bad paint.

Jim, we've gotta go meet this guy...

I met Mrs. Booher. He would not come out & talk to me. Jason tried to make a deal with him for his stash of '02 parts -- crazy price/crazy old man. It is Booher. I am not going to mess with him.

Mr. Booher? Heh, wonder if he is related to the teacher I had in 11th grade for AP US History. He's from Texas though, Bryon Booher- but it's not often I hear the name Booher.

    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
