We currently have seven '02s in our caravan to Eureka Springs, departing Dayton OH Wednesday morning via Cincinnati, Louisville, across KY, down through the NW corner of TN, then crossing the Mississippi and across northern AR to Eureka Springs, with an overnight stop in Paragould AR.  If you'd like to join us either at Dayton or en route, we have rendezvous points along the way, and would love to have more '02s in the caravan.  PM me with your e-mail address and I'll send details of the route, overnight stop and rendezvous points along the way.  It's a fun drive, avoiding as many Interstates as possible and the cameraderie--not to mention mutual support--is priceless.

 

Hope to see you ether en route or at Mid America.

 

cheers

Safe travels!  We’re heading out of the Austin, Texas area Wednesday morning.  Barney, Ed, Todd, and I will leave out of Cedar Park around 9:30 and meet up with David and Terry Sayther’s group along I35 just north of Austin.  We’ll drive to Arkadelphia, Ak and stay the night.  We’ll finish up the drive Thursday with the plan of rolling into Eureka Springs around 2:30.  

 

Houston on group is making the drive up on Thursday.  Believe there are 10 H-Town 02s making the drive up together.  Pretty sure they will be meeting up with a few 02rs along the way.  

 

Definitely look forward to putting faces to the names!

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

    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
