BMW ALPINA 2002 - "Nose Job"


Guest Anonymous

Recommended Posts

I was up in Sonoma today to have a look at my car as it has been a while, I will be bringing it back home next week or the week after. Essentially all the work that needed doing is done (for this round). The new "Euro" nose is on with a bit of work. Last thing to do is a few hours aligning the front suspension so that when I get it back home I can go back to work on the fenders. Since the front suspension is fully adjustable you can adjust it in any direction up/down/sideways about 2", cant have it be off and make the fenders correctly. I am going to make the rough shapes (to about 90% complete) and then the car will go back up north to have one of Roger's associates finish off the shape, make the mold and then the part.

A great example of why you pay professionals to do one off work like this. The nose had to be cut and then filled with this sheet metal due to the size of the front wheels (11x15) in that they wouldn't clear this part of the original structure.

If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.

    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
