Saw you driving tonight at White Oak and Rinaldi.  Thought to myself that's a cool car.  Good to see other enthusiasts in the hood.

Thank you, i was on my way home after i picked it up 10 minutes prior to you seeing me. I needed a daily driver until my 02 is done, and i couldn't ask for a better car to daily.

Nice car! I almost bought one of these a few years ago, before I bought my 02. How does the driving compare? I would imagine a fuel injected 6 would be pretty fun in that small and light body. enjoy!

 

Thank you Mike, It's a very different driving experience from my 02, the power is almost the same as my 02with m42 swap but the delivery is a lot smoother. the m20 revs endlessly and sounds awesome compared to the m42. surprisingly enough this car is not light by anymeans it's about 2700lbs it feels more stable on the road and a lot quiter that my 02, still loads of fun.

 

Looks nice, but needs lower "lowering springs!"

 

 Thank you John, and I agree, but since it's my daily I will stick to this height for now until I score a good deal on coilovers.

 

Sweet!

 

Thank you

Nice.

 

I was planning to bring my E12 to the show but now, looking at your car, I am leaning E21.  (1979 323i)

 

This looks like the Acton car.  It was listed on BaT today.  10 inch wide rear wheels.

    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
