2 Bats and a Box


Recommended Posts

We tested the 1800 up at Seattle last weekend. Everything went great right out of the box (trailer). We had only 1 very minor issue- a wire fell off the fuel pump during one session and I was stalled by the side of the track. Very easy fix, and it is now safety wired on.

 

The car drives very well. It has good power, pretty good brakes, and takes a great set in the corner. It is a bit hard on its front tires. I have to trail brake into the corner to make the car rotate before rolling on the throttle at the apex. If I don't it plows pretty bad and scrubs speed.

 

While we were testing we took a family photo. That's my old Jagermeister CSL (which now belongs to Jeff Gerken), and Thor Johnson's Schnitzer CSL with Grandpa looking on. I'll post some in-car video in the next few days.

Bravo Steve, job incredibly well done in a miraculously short amount of time.

 

Please you must give us more pictures to salivate on.

 

The car is completely obscured by its children.

 

Sincerely, Peter

    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
