Two tone?

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

I have a 1974 2002, but often think about getting an 1800 one day. As I was googling car pictures (like I know we all do) and I noticed this color combination and just love it. Did the 1800s ever come in two tone, maybe in Germany, or was this done by the owner? At any rate, some great inspiration for me to dream of a future car.

 

P.S. I love the whitewalls on this too... I know its not a popular opinion but my family has always had American cars from the 1950s so that taste has likely rubbed off on me.

 

Cheers,

 

Ric

The very first colour brochure offered 2 tone, but for the roof only, not the A or C pillars like your example. An original 2 tone car is rarer than hens dentures. Toyed with a cream roof on my derby NK when I painted it a while back, but decided it would be too fussy for my tastes.

    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
