How's the color look to you guys? Looks a little dark in the pictures or is that just me? I'm planning on meeting his friend to take a look.

 

It looks like the picture was filtered to enhance the image and possibly a variation on Inka (metallic?), but looks nice.  I wish they hadn't deleted the waist trim on the repaint, it would really set that paint off.  Still, a smoking deal at $7800 if it checks out, (rust, mechanicals, etc.).

 

Good luck,

I agree with you there. Wonder how hard it'd be to put it back, would be worried about messing up the new paint. I guess you could always put non-OEM trim with some 3M tape/adhesive.

People rave about the stick-on trim options.  I would go that route, cheaper and less risk to messing up the new paint.

Looks like it might have begun life as an Atlantic car.  I can't read the VIN but the 2-piece dash with "Rear Def" at the lower left corner of the instrument binnacle screams 1973, consistent with their claim.  Obviously side marker lights, side marker reflectors, rear reflectors, beltline trim, and knee trim have been stripped, and a pre-April '71 rear bumper has been installed.

 

Regards,

Not particularly impressed with these photos.  They leave me wondering if even the most basic of maintenance, e.g., an oil change, was being performed.  Quite frankly, the saying "lipstick on a pig" comes to mind...

    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
