other 2002 Beauty Shots

As with most manufacturers, It took bmw almost two decades for its designers fo come up with a chassis to meet those early crashworthiness directives from the USHSA without the vestigial bumper hanging off the ends. The  Federal rulemaking cycle is a lot shorter than bringing to market an entirely new design to make bumpers disappear. To me the 02 looks it’s best with no bumpers at all (no air dam please). That may be true of many cars of that era. Bumpers were just a necessary evil from a design point of view. As necessary as they were though you gotta say the “tea trays” were a bit much for this lovable little box.

Today I took the car and the camera out for a drive and shot this in a parking garage. New profile pic for the win!

Thanks Mike! I’m a photographer but it’s the first time taking pics of a car. Pretty happy with the results!

Beautiful photo. You really captured nostalgia. Like a factory photo.

My 74’ Tii I picked up a few months back is finally roadworthy after being sidelined in 2007.

Got married just in time before the travel bans started. 
Drove to prom in this car 14 years ago...only appropriate that we drove away from the chapel in it too.

Recently got some new wheels from a very kind fellow FAQer.  Cosmic Mk1s.  Really digging them!

 

I also went out for a drive up around Malibu a couple weekends ago and photographer Victory Jon was out there shooting.  He snapped a few nice ones of me, so I couldn't help but pick up a copy from him.  http://highwayphotos.net/

Love those Cosmic Mk1's.  They look excellent on your 02! 
My Verona '73 sat on a set of those when I purchased her way back in '92.  Annoyingly, I made the stupid mistake of selling a whole lock-up of 02 parts as a one-job-lot, and not realising that my Cosmic's were at the very back of the lock-up.  Tried to buy them back later, but no joy...
