San Diego Peeps - Looking for Help

[Santawillis]

I came into possession of my 1976 2002 in October 2022, knowing little about its past. The person I bought it from had purchased it from someone in Wisconsin, who themselves had bought it on Ebay from an Arizona seller. The vehicle still has its original front windshield, now cracked, adorned with a "San Diego Yacht Club" parking sticker.

 

Originally, the car was painted in Granatrot but has since been repainted in a shade of light blue that falls somewhere between Atlanta Blue and Fjord Blue, though I have yet to identify the precise paint code.

 

If anyone has any recollection of this car parked there let me know, you can faintly see the sticker on the bottom right corner of the windshield

Contact 

info.grouparchiv@bmwgroup.com and provide them your vin info. They should respond back with the original color code and build date etc.

I've been to the SDYC a few times, and I've never seen a car like this there.  My friend's dad used to be the commodore.  I'll send them the picture and see if he knows.

No luck,

 

He did reach out to someone who he thought it might be, but apparently that member has a 69' 2800cs, "the first imported into the US"

 

He said that the date should be on the sticker if it's one of the older ones.

 

Good luck!

2001 is a bit ago

Was #1658 assigned to a specific member?  Maybe the Commodore can have an administrator look it up.  I used to sail Flying Dutchman's for Mission Bay Yacht Club and spent a lot of time competing against SDYC.  Never saw a BMW 2002 in their parking lot.
