2002 Owner age question

[Guest Anonymous]

I owned a '71 1600 and '73 tii as daily drivers when they were near-new and I was young and single. Before them I had a '62 Plymouth Valiant, '69 Impala (new), a '73 Super Beatle (new), a '72 Carmen Ghia, a Porsche 914 and 914-6 and then the 1600 and tii. I picked up my current 1972 Malaga '02 in 2000, which was advertised as a "parts car" for $700, and have spent the last eight years throughly enjoying its rehab'. I'm 63 years old and this Board has been very helpful putting the finishing touches on this delightful car. Thanks for all the info.

... a '74 VW Beetle special edition "Sun Bug" (gold metallic paint, Porsche 914 seats & wheels) before falling for my first '02, a Sahara '70.

I picked up a Granatrot '74 for the rebuilt engine & tinted glass to put into the '70.

Found a one-owner '76, a Polaris car that spent its life in TX. Sold it to acquire my current '02, a '74 tii, "Juanita."

Nothing but BMWs in the stable for me - '85 325e, '86 535i, '00 328i.

[HarryPR]

I'm 51 years old.

Before I bought my first '02 ( a 1970 1602)back in '78 I had:

'62 VW Beetle

'66 VW Beetle

'73 Datsun 1200

'71 Chevy Malibu

'72 Mustang

'72 Mercury Montego (worst car I've ever owned)

'76 Dodge Celeste GT(same as Plymouth Arrow GT by Mitsubishi)

Since then I've always had at least one '02, plus many parts cars. Had a '73 tii (Chamonix/Blue), my favorite.

Other Bimmers owned include '77 320iA, '79 323i, '81, '82 and '83 320i, '85, '86 and '87 325e, '90 325is and '97 528i.

Went through my water cooled VW phase with '74 and '76 Rabbits, '84 GTI and '87 Jetta GLI, and dipped my toes into Mercedes ownership with a 190.

When the kids were small we also owned a couple of Toyota Corolla station wagon's, a '76 and a '80.

Currently have the '76 2002, an '83 320i, the '81 Baur 320/6 and a '86 325. My daughter owns a '93 325iA. I've been lucky to have company cars as daily drivers for the last 15 years or so, which makes owning old Bimmers almost exclusively a saner proposition.

Married with one on the way! congrats to us! I am 33

1. 1978(ish) pea green volare station wagon($100) at one point all the door handles had busted, and for 2 months I crawled through the hatch!

2. 1974 polaris 2002tii ($2500). I was 17, and It was an instant love affair! what a dream after that wagon!

3. 1974 malaga 2002($2000). drove back and forth to college every weekend for 2 years (200 miles each way). on my last trip home It shit the bed and the engine was gone.

4. 1977 blue jeep cj5 304 v8 ($1500).....stupid thing could pop wheelies...fun too!

5. 1977 anthracite 530i ($1500). The most luxurious ride I'd owned yet! and would still be going strong If the fool in the dodge durango had stopped at the stop sign....crushed, but it saved my life!

6. 1984 vw gti. ($400) About as bad as the volare but still a little fun to drive.

7-8. two identical rusty red jeep cj7s

9. 1987 delphin 325i ($2200) the newest car i've ever owned. It shares daily driving duties...235,000 miles and ticking......like a bomb!! hope it didn't hear that...shhh!

10.1976 anthracite 2002 ($1500) it is macco painted metallic blue and it is rough around the edges ...all of them, but the love affair is again anew, and this part project, part driver is mine!!

In thinking back, I have spent approximately $13,000 in 18 years of driving that doesn't count any maintenance of course but I have never once had a car payment to make!

[Delia]

I owned four cars before I bought my first 2002:

1961 Fiat 500 Nuova Sport

1965 Fiat 600D

1969 Austin America

1971 VW Super Beetle (1302)

I bought my first BMW 2002 in 1972...a '69 model (#1666747).

My next one was a BRAND NEW one right off the showroom floor in early 1975 (#4225509)
