Hello,  Looking to chat about my '72 2002 automatic. Its a one owner car purchased in 1972 and owned by the same owner. Never retitled. I have the original title, the first registration card from purchase in 1972 and every year since! As well as insurance cards. Original manual, tool kit, spare tire.... Original survivor. Colorado Orange in an automatic. I'm in South Jersey if anyone is near and would like to chat about these cars.

Well, you came to the right place.  Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the FAQ.  It looks like you found a really nice one.  If you could post some more photos, it might give us more to chat about : )  A photo of what is under the hood would be fun to see, for example.  Did the original owner work on the car?  What do you know of its mechanical maintenance history?

Welcome to the '02 fraternity/sorority...Roundie automatics aren't very common, especially those that still have their A/Ts.  Most have been converted to either 4 or 5 speeds. 

 

This is a great place to learn about 2002s--literally thousands of years of expertise reside here, so don't be shy about questions--and the archives are great too.

 

If you send your VIN to BMW Classic they can tell you the car's original manufacturing date as well as when it was turned over to either the selling dealer (in Germany) or to the importer (Hoffman Motors in the US).

 

cheers

Lots of fun, lots of great info to be found here. (Use the search function; it works!)

Welcome and congrats, Pete!

 

And it LOOKS like a one-owner car as well!  Great find.

    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
