bmw ad ?

Could be, but they didn't generally show their cars with accessories such as driving/fog lights and the adjacent car is "encroaching" somewhat on the 02.

Curiously, this photo does remind me of the Schwarz, and amazingly original, '75 1602 Lux that the new James Taylor book illustrates at some length, and the Schwarz, recently-sold, 7,500-mile, Italian '76 2002 Lux -- recently photographed by Jim Gerock at Korman Autoworks.

I remember that shot, Harry. So nice... Sad you sold that sweet car.

Schwarz Brotherhood Unite!!! ;-)

Mine is actually Cosmos Schwarz Metallic (code 303, like my current hometown of Denver) - a repaint from it's original Polaris livery, with color of the first M3 schwarz, which I fell in love with...

I'm only aware of my Schwarz down under... Maybe theres another one hiding.

I'm curious who in Denver painted your car? It is beautiful. Did they do the prep work as well?

At some point here I would like to respray original Malaga and take care of the nicks etc...

Thanks!

Ring up Kris tobias. Here's a pic of his schwarz tii.

I'm looking for a schwarz tii as well.

I have since installed some hella 500's, tucked the bumper in a little, I usually have a roof rack on also.

Here's an iPhone Instagram shot with the roof rack:

And here's another iPhone Instagram shot with the hella's:

I need to get some new beauty shots, but My Little Tutu is also due for a thorough wash and wax... Perhaps on the next BMW SIG meeting in Portland.

Black is rare on the round tails and some what common on the square tails. Generally any round tail 02 I've seen in black has been repainted that color and was not original. I had one factory black round tail parts car, a '72 Tii and that was over twenty years ago. Haven't seen another since.

Rare, yes but they are around in roundie format. Mine is a factory black car and I know of one other euro tii in CA.

bmw ad ?

This photo is from BMW, it is representing Der Schwarzen serie. This were black BMW 2002 with Luxury equipment and aditional headlamps, and probably without wood door panels.

Mine is probably one of this series. By BMW they wouldnt know if, but most of this 02's were exportet to Italy, from where mine came as well.

Mine has original bmw instalation for aditional headlamps and also i got a wooden gauge with it, and then replace it with alpina...

More about my car is here: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/component/option,com_forum/Itemid,0/page,viewtopic/t,378214/highlight,/

Black cars pre 73' and after 73' are very rare. In that times that colour was not so popular as nowdays. So after 73' alpina took most of the 2002 black cars for tuning them for street use, after then bmw probaby had too much black colour left so they lounched this special series car into production.

I am awaiting confirmation whether this car was originally Schwartz or (most likely) another color.

I believe this is part of a BMW ad showing the size difference between a 2002 and a black Cadillac.

Same car? I should have inspected it more closely. Had a long drive home ahead of me that trip. Note the rear seat grab handle and dome light location. I believe that indicates this car does not have a sunroof. Would think a special edition would have one (optional cost extra no doubt).

Thx. Paint (& prep) were done back when I lived in N'awlins - by Greff Motorsports.

In the book where this photo is published, there is nothinga about the size differnce between bmw and cadillac.

Under photo is announced as: Sondermodell zum Abschied: BMW 2002 L der "schwarzen Serie"
