Attention

Finally was able to pull Stella out of the garage and give her some attention.  Much needed and long overdue attention.  Been crazy here at the casa the past 6 months or so.  My son graduated high school and is now enrolled in college.  Wow, time flies!!  My wife and I took him up to Kansas and got him all settled in.  He had his first classes Tuesday followed by football practice. 

 

Back to Stella...  I hadn't had much time to spend on the 02 and was finally able to pull her out of the garage and check all the fluids and change the oil. Had to put a charge on the battery but that was to be expected.  I plan to wash her up in the morning and drive her out 1431 for a short spin and trip to the Gun Range.  Love driving 1431! 

 

By the way, I call her Stella because the 02 originally belonged to my Aunt Stella.  I remember sitting in the passenger seat a few months after my Uncle bought it for her and her driving me around Wichita, Kansas.

The car cleans up nice for being all original.  It really needs to have new carpet and the seats done.  My oldest just started college so I'm going to have to get thrifty to get them done.

    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
