The FAQ makes owning an '02 so much more fun. All the friends are a bonus.

I have own a 74Tii for about 20 years. Always with  the thought I would "1 day fix it". Anyway, back in January I lost my storage and it sat in the side yard for about a month - I  told myself either fix it or sell it. Walking out the next morning I made the choice to fix her up. I have taken enough shit over the years from my wife and daughters that selling would only add fuel for their fodder and I would never hear the end if it.

 

I'm not a wrench turner at all. I suck at working with my hand (wood, around the house, u name it). But I have come a long way in the past 10 months. I just found FAQ and could not be any more thankful for the site. I have been on the site everyday since I have found it. The "stance" thread kept me up til 1 in the morning. Still have some questions on this. Andrews(think he works at IE?) post on his project is a God send. I'm just getting the rear susp. back under the car. The time he has put into his post with pic. and text is such a help for my kind. The wealth of info on the site and the FAQ members is something to be thankful.

 

Thanks to those that spent your time getting this up and running and all that I plan on exploiting in the future.

When I bought my tii, the PO (Jeremy Davenport) told me about the FAQ. Since then, I've spent tons of time on this forum along with absorbing all the great details from Keith Kreeger's my2002tii website.  It is a great community.

I've been working on 2002s for 44 years and writing about 'em for 25, and still learn something new almost every day on the FAQ.  This is exactly what Internet message boards should be about.  Kudos to the organizers and participants for keeping it that way over the past nearly 12 years...

 

Makes owning an 02 even more fun than it would otherwise be.

 

cheers

    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
