Nice looking car, and some nice, tasteful upgrades! Looks like most, if not all, the underhood stickers are in place - look for the color name and code over on the passenger-side shock tower - it'll be "something"-grun. Enjoy it!

smart choice. nice car, great color (yes, it looks like a Jade repaint), and decent work done to it.

76's are probably the best 02s to start with as they are pretty solid and have all the old gremlins sorted out :)

I used to own a Jade 76 almost 15 years ago now and miss that car. It used to pull nice with just a weber 32/36 on it and the low gear on the back end.

The Pete McHenry rebuild doesn't hurt either. Nice to have a motor reworked by a legend.

From the description, it looks like you got yourself a very nice car. Welcome to the "Madness".

got any more tired san francisco gay jokes?

Nah, bad judgement....got too many good friends and relatives in the SF area. I fell off my "TriteCycle" after that last post. Plus the pic was very scary. Seemed funny at the time. Unfortunately not so in retrospect. My apologies...

Hope to catch you during one of my '02 visits north...

I went to look at it with the buyer. Put it on the lift & he drove it. The worst thing I saw was some significant rust under the front passenger seat. The car has bits of rust here & there but the rockers,shock towers,etc. are solid. The car runs strong. It also had a black widow spider nesting underneath sort of under the spare tire well. Motivated seller,moving to AZ. I think it was well bought.

    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
