Changed the oil.

De-greased, sanded, and put the first coat of paint on my poor man's Borrini/Alpinas (E30 steelies). New center caps courtesy of Blunt.

I took the 75 02 out to a Florida sun coast BMW CCA event.

I have only been driving it around town so it was a test of its road worthiness.

Plus 2 other 02s showed up.. Mine is on the right.

Just got my tii last week...... pulled both rear semi trailing arms off to upgrade new shocks and springs. Little rusy so hit them with a wire wheel. Waiting for some new parts to show, before I can continue.

Got my hair cut, but somehow that is not likely what you are inquiring about.

Thread topic is what did you do, not what did you do to your '02. You win the secret contest.

Side note, Chevy Steel wheel silver paint is really close to E30 silver. I have it on one of my Euroweaves and it's a darn good match!

The paint I used today is Krylon "stainless steel." I also have some Krylon clear coat for later.

amazing what some paint and caps will do to steel rims...

I got the FJ60 back together. Too late to go for a drive, but I have Monday off...

a pair of those rear springs weigh about what a 2002 engine does...

    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
