Regular Car Reviews BMW 2002

[dpowell]

Surprisingly little sarcasm from Mr. Regular on this episode.

He must have been caught off guard by how great a car it actually is.

I was just coming here to post this! 

 

Funny review.  It had to happen eventually, I suppose.

I enjoyed the review...it seem to be very realistic about the 02's capabilities.  What is funny is that I always compare it to my miata...they are my twins.

We need more reviews like this.

Here's his actual driving impressions:

I was worried it would be as bad as the 944 review, but he really seemed to get the 2002.

Familiar roads, filmed about 5 miles from mi casa in Lancaster, PA.

Fun review! Thanks for sharing!

Saw it last night.  I was curious if it was a members car.  Also want to know what suspension work was done to it, since he mentions that he autocrosses it in the "less edited" first drive video.

Just saw this video monday, which is funny cause I just got my 02 drivable. Good timing on Mr. Regular's part! Nice review too!

[saaron]

Certainly the owner on the test-drive had a few things incorrect about the cars.  I guess not everyone is as obsessive as some of us are about all the details.  It was interesting to see the video, though...the raw footage vs. what you see.

Tell us about your car.  Suspension, tires, etc.  What's what.

Currently, the car sits on BBS euroweaves (15x7 et24) with 175/50r15 sight stretch to fit. The suspension is Bilstien struts with H&R springs one coil cut. For autocross, I am running 13x6 (haven't found wheels yet) with 185/60r13. The plan starting next week is to put in the e21 lsd and camber & toe correctors. 

 

As as for the engine and trans, stock engine, about to put dual side drafts with IE headers for better flow. The trans is a 5 speed out of an e21.

Did you do the stretch fit because you likes the look, or because otherwise they rubbed?
