I guess this car has lasted me so long, she really deserves a complete makeover. Bought in 1994 for $1500 in SF bay area. Good daily driver that got me around the city for many of my early years fresh out of college. With just a year of auto shop in high school, I learned a lot about cars doing the upkeeps and some upgrades on the 2002.

Early upgrades:

Bilstein sport shocks

removed behr A/C (damn, well it was much lighter then)

August 2007, time to update the blog now that Im making a little progress

no worries about it taking two months to complete, finally unwrapped it and it has the piece I need for the sunroof just like I thought. It goes in as soon as I re-wrap the rear wiring harness and redo the drivers a-pillar for the dome light. Thanks

    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.
