2002 Bespoke Roof Rack now with photos,Silver & Black

Recommended Posts

Hi , I always like a nice roof rack on an 02 , I hooked up with a guy to make us a roof rack specifically designed for an 02. I supplied him a roof section yesterday and we had a design meeting . We came up with some cool ideas & will post up the 2 maybe 3 designs to see which one is more popular to go into a small production run . They will have powder coated frames, wooden slats & be low profile , more importantly they will be designed to fit an 02 not be a re-worked VW or generic rack .. As soon as he gets me some prototypes done I'll post up pictures on my car , they will not have suction cups but will locate in the rain channel with a single clamp on each side for a clean appearance  .

I am very interested in this as well...carry bikes on my car but the Thule crossbars and rack look out of place..but if I had a good looking basket I could probably engineer a fork mount and a small tray in there somewhere..keep us posted!!

Here is the 1st prototype , in bare steel , with just scrap wood slats. The fit is amazing I swear you could pick up the car with it , has plastic coating on the feet , fits in the gutter perfectly. I'm taking it to get a price on powder coating so we should have a price on Tuesday . We are going to do another style but keeping it low profile with 5 supports etc . Looking at Semi Gloss Black & maybe silver powder coating & stained wood .

    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
