Sad day for me!

Just had to put the 1600 away for the winter.  It always bums me out because I am driving my favorite car through the valley, leaves are starting to change, windows down, sunroof open.  I love that car & hate to put it away so soon, but I have a great space at a great price (about $25 bucks per month for heated garage with concrete floor!) so I guess its worth it.  I guess I'll just have to drive the 633 I just picked up last month.  Nice problem to have I guess.  Here are a few pics of the 1600 right before I put it away and of the 633 I picked up.

I saved pictures of your 1600 a couple years ago... still have them in my favorites section.... beautiful car. I'm with Marshall, too early yet... but like Danco, winter is treated a little differently here in central Texas...

Yeah, I know its a little early to put it away.  The place I keep it has to have the cars put in first and then the rest of the unit is filled with rather large boats & RV's that cant fit along the sides of the building.  But I do get a great break on the price.  I will drive the 633 until the first snow, I would have put that away but it has sat for the past 6 years & I plan on working on it in my garage over the winter to fix all of the little things that pop up with a car that has sat for that long.  I have an e39 I use as my winter car & it works great with snow tires (and heated seats, steering wheel) Its hard to give them up!  Hope everyone can enjoy theirs for a while longer and for those in the south, thanks for reminding me winter is not a problem!

 

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
