The Story of the NK Estates


02Anders

Recommended Posts

Hi NK-lovers,

 

So I must confess that there's sadly no NK in my garage currently.  I sorely miss my '71 Atlantik blau 2000, and often dream of what could have been had I only seen through the very full resto of my '65 Granada rot 1800ti.  Oh well... one day there shall live another NK with my 02's...
In the meantime, one can always dream...  perhaps about the oddball estate versions which were created by various coachbuilders on the Neue Klasse.

Oh, I’m sure it was just, research. ?

 

Great article Anders, and with a few pictures that I hadn’t seen.

Nick, I wasn't aware that you or the UK forum had a copyright on the info and pictures you yourself had merely found on the internet...??

 

TG2k2 and tjones02, glad you enjoyed the article!  ?

 

You do make me laugh Anders. You log into a web site you choose not to have anything to do with anymore, take your article from 9 years worth of forum members contributions, add a couple of pictures and then pass it off here as journalism. It's not a question of copyright, just class.

    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
