Stolen '02 - Boulder, CO


Chippy

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

 

My wife and I returned from a friends wedding (gone June 6-16th) to find our '72 2002 was no where to be found.

Was taken from a parking lot at our apartment complex in Boulder, CO.

It's not at the tow yards, and the police have no records of it.

We love the old thing. We have travelled across the US in it.

Fixed it on the side of the road in the middle of no where. Made friends over repairs. It's our adventure mobile.

 

Some noticeable bits:

VIN: 2580125

Malaga faded with patina

The rear towers were re-welded and the welding job was kind of ameteurish

The interior door panels were redone by previous owner but lacked the chrome trim 3/4 up from the bottom

Newly replaced engine mounts

Electronic ignition system

Front bumper was tweaked

 

Please keep an eye out for it.

Tonight the thieves were arrested and the car returned.

 

The culprits go by "Waldo" and "Sunshine". Classic Boulder. 

 

The front bumper is mangled, but at least it's back.

 

Thanks for the help everyone. Now to look into theft-proofing the car...

    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
