Sad sight- rusty 3.0 and Bavaria sighting


Recommended Posts

Not sure where the appropriate place for this post is, so I put it here. Moderator, please move it appropriate. 
 

found these two “survivors” today. The Bavaria has the running gear still intact. The 3.0 is missing the engine, but the gear box is still in it. Thought some of you folks would enjoy seeing these.

Did you spot those cars in Ft Lauderdale (I noticed the Broward county license plate, then the beach club stickers)

 

That Bavaria has been all over--South Carolina, Colorado and now Florida (?).

 

Nostalgia for my hometown...When I was in high school, I lived about three blocks from the Lago Mar Hotel...and earlier was friends with the son of the hotel's general manager.  We had lots of fun playing all around the hotel, running our model boats in the swimming pool and walking up the beach to the Port Everglades inlet, where we jumped from rock to rock on the breakwater all the way out to the end.

Mike,

 

the cars are in Charleston, SC. I’ve known they were there for a while, but this is the first time I’ve bothered to check them out/ take photos. I can get in contact with the owner through a friend. And I’ve halfway thought of sling what he wants for them, but as the photos show they’re mostly parts cars at this point. Not sure what I’d do with them if I bought ‘em.

    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
