I enjoyed meeting up with more 2002 owners yesterday.  Nice to see more NCC'rs attend this event.

 

That Jaguar guy loved all the attention he was getting even though Dudley pointed out he had a leopard stuffed animal in his car and not a Jaguar  :) .

We didn't have to roll around the lot revving our engines like the Ferraris, that Mustang Cobra and the Acura NSX did. :huh:

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
