New Owner in SNH - '70 2002


Splinter

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

I am excited to be the new owner of 1970 2002.  I searched for months to find a solid and straight car.  With the help of Mario and Chris at VSR, I pulled the trigger on an AZ car and am enjoying the car immensely.  Previous to this car, my toy/weekend car was a 2003 NSX.  The car was just so nice and had such low millage.  I ended up not driving it very often as a result which was a sin.  So...in September I sold it on BAT and said to my self that my next weekend car was going to be a driver.

 

My plan for this car is drive the wheels off of it and enhance its braking, suspension and power.  The car is not stock today and so I don't feel bad making a hot rod / back road carver out of it.  I'm still getting to know the car and figuring out what the right course of action is.  I would very much like to meet up with fellow owners to share in your experience. The timing is bad with the winter weather looming but if anyone is planning on taking their cars out over the thanksgiving weekend, I would very much like to meet up.

 

Excuse the bad pictures, I haven't had the chance to take any good ones yet but these will give you the general flavor of the car today.

 

Thanks for viewing my post,

Brett

Windham, NH

Where are you located?  My suggestion if you are serious about buying a 2002 is call Chris or Mario at VSRin Bedford, NH.  You wont find more knowledgeable 2002 folks around.  They helped my source mine (in Arizona), helped with an out of state PPI, and just provided a realistic expectation for 2002 ownership and logical ownership plan.

 

They installed a full coil over suspension and BBK for me.  Car is awesome and they are the reason.

Good luck with your search.

    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
