    peace sign

    I was never too keen on the flashing of headlights since it's pretty much the universal way of telling fellow motorists to 'Slow down. There's a cop ahead!' After having had the wind taken out of my '02 sails on too many occasions, I've since become a waver. I'd much rather say 'hello' by waving than to send mixed messages with the headlights.
  2. Good points brought up by the both of you. While the creators of each piece may have had the best of intentions, it's pretty obvious that neither one knows what they're talking / writing about. If they did, they might have put a little effort into providing some clarification. If you know what you're taking about, it's not that difficult to write as if nobody knows what you're talking about. You know what I'm talking about?

  4. It's true. According to these two wonderfully crafted blog posts, the 2002s and the E21s were capable of time travel. I knew that they were great cars, but I had no idea that they were capable of such feats. The first article says.. "The BMW 2002 series is important in the history of BMW for several reasons, not the least of which it brought the company out of near bankruptcy in the 1950s and put BMW as a marque on the map in the United States. It was the ancestral grandfather to the BMW 3 Series and was produced from 1968 to 1976." http://tinyurl.com/3jx2j64 The second article says.. "The timing of the BMW 2002 was perfect; The company needed something to replace the larger aging 3 Series sedans." http://tinyurl.com/3q9zjdt If all of this was possible over 30 years ago, I can only imagine what the newer BMWs are capable of.
  5. Barney at Classic Heroes (in the UK) should be able to set you up. http://www.classicheroes.co.uk/news/1898/our-alpina-has-earned-its-stripes
  6. Maybe it was an email that I sent, and not a PM. Either way, I just sent you the link to my personal G+ page.

  10. If you have a YouTube account, you could always try contacting the person who uploaded the video.
  11. I'm not a big fan of promoting my efforts, but I thought I'd throw this out there in case any of you are on Google+. http://gplus.to/classicandvintagebmw
  12. I'm not sure about the blog, but is this the video that you're referring to? http://youtu.be/31SoW5GAJDI
  13. Thanks for all of the pics, and for the narrative posting, Anders It's one thing to see a bunch of pics, but to be given a good description of what we're looking at is extra nice. So, thanks again for sharing your collection, and thanks for taking the time to narrate. It's very much appreciated.
  14. My search results lead me to believe that there wasn't/isn't an official 2011 Bavaria Tour thread. My apologies if you've seen these albums already. http://tinyurl.com/5urwwe5 http://tinyurl.com/62v97dd http://tinyurl.com/66kvsnv http://tinyurl.com/5soqq3y This next one is a combination of the 2006 and 2011 Tour. The images from 2006 come right after the pictures of the castles. http://tinyurl.com/6dmbtn9

  16. I don't know how many of you would be interested in attending this event, but you certainly have the right to know about it. "On September 3, 2011 the Dutch BMW '02 Club Nederland will be hosting Europe's biggest and best BMW '02 event known as the International BMW '02 Meeting 2011. At the 2010 meeting, more than 120 vehicles were present. Being the 25th BMW '02 Club anniversary, this year's event is expected to be much larger. Mark your calendar join the group, and stay tuned for more details!"

  17. That's correct. Three out of four of them are pictured in the photo album. The only one that we haven't got a picture of is the brown 6 cylinder version that was previously owned by Hubert Hahne. We do have confirmation that it's still on the road though. It's important to be mindful of the fact that the car that's pictured in the last four images in the photo album isn't actually one of the 12 Dianas. It's a Japanese replica / tribute.

  19. I stumbled across this image of one the other day. I like the black hood. Kind of '02 Alpina-esque'.

  21. I was never a big fan of the hot rods, but I have to admit that this looks like it might be fun.
  22. I was trying to be real subtle about it, but that's exactly what I was driving at!
  23. One of our friends at the Classic and Vintage BMW Facebook group was kind enough to share this pretty amazing pictorial of a 3.0CS that was saved from, what was thought to be, its final resting place. http://tinyurl.com/42h4w42
  24. Slightly OT, but if you're going to a pick-n-pull for your mirror, grab yourself a set of E30 sun visors (and clips) while you're at it. They fit perfectly in an '02.
