Wow, Ed!

 

The CS looks phenomenal. How’s it running?

 

Best regards,

Two running things. Two broken things.

I did intend to put this over on the NK Discussion page, actually...

 

The CS ran great. I didn’t have but about 15 miles on it before hitting the road, so it was a leap of faith. Minor issues popped up but I had tools and good friends to keep things rolling. (Driver’s door latch was finicky, lost a driver’s side wiper arm in Atlanta, and the ignition cylinder came out with the key on Day 4... all of these were overcome)

 

I’m very pleased with how it came out. The car will cruise at 80 on the highway and still get about 23 mpg. (I put a 5 speed in it).

 

No rest for the weary, Terry Sayther’s 02BerFest is in 4 days...gotta clean the car and change the oil...and try to find a wiper arm. :)

That’s about as “classic” as they come — ca. 1972 — a Malaga car with BWA Sportstars! Great look!

Had a GREAT time at the first Sacramento Neue Klasse & Kaffee yesterday! Unfortunately didn't get any pictures at the actual meet up (this always happens, too busy talking and looking) but met some awesome people for a drive with food and drinks after. Some killer toyotas came through as well. Love it!

 

If anyone else was there get your pics uploaded!

    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
