Congrats Rich!! :-D

Funny! In the US it's cool to run the euro-indicators and hear in Europe quite a few (including myself) have started using US-indicators just to be a little different. Hmmm... guess the grass is always greener on the other side eh'??

Yup, definately Nevada...

Damn, what a beauty!! 8) Hmmm... I wonder which bodypart I could sell for euro 6500?? And such an early example is extremely rare. I'm quite sure she would look sweet next to my Veronared 2002 and my Polarissilver 3,0S....

HeHe.... my mate actually went and bought this car after I forwarded him the link!! :-D So it now resides in Denmark....

The 02 is really very clean. It's got a 215hp Cecotto engine, the Getrag 265 'box, a custom lsd and coilover suspension with Turbo brakes. It's even got a very tidy and complete Turbo interior!!

It sits well in his garage next to his black early 70's Porsche 911 S with original looks but a 3,2 engine, G50 'box and some suspension upgrades....

Sweet!!

Anyway, thanx for the link Richard!!

Yep, I'd definately stick with the original bottletop alloys too....

They look greeeaat!!!

WAUW!! That does look good!! Would be interesting with a sample to hold up against my originals - but looking at the picture I'm quite certain it's going to be a very close match. Thanx for the link Esty!! :-D

Hmmm... I thought I was going to have a hard time finding a carpet that would look original - now it seems my main problem will be choosing which one is a 99.2% match and which is 'only' a 99.1% match....

Oh, all the hassle...!! ;-)

Yup! Taigagrün is one of my favorites as well. It's damned rare though and even more so on a Touring. Looks sweet as peaches.... ;-)

Well, thanx again Dave! That's real kind of you.

I've sent you an email...

Hmmm... so much for those wonderful US impact bumpers.... ?? ;-)

Good luck mate - I hope your 02's looking sweet and funky real soon again...

nice one to have... but why would you ruin an original 2002TI aren't those really rare?

Hmmm... my thought exactly! Car looks great, and honestly, if only I had the cash.... ;-)

But I really wish he had used a standard 02 as base....

Thanx Dave! Certainly a nice site his got there! Never stumbled over that one before...

It's hard to tell from the pics on the site, how well his carpets match the original salt and pepper though. Would you be so kind as to comment when you recieve yours?? Personally I'm very 'Originale Polizei', and I just know that regardless the qaulity of the product, if it does not match the original look 99% or better, I would end up not being happy with it... None the less, it's probably the best match I have seen to date.

Where do I find new carpets for my '73 BMW 2002 'roundie'. It's got the black and white - or salt and pepper - carpets. I'm only interested in something that matches the original carpet in both color, texture, thickness etc etc....

I live in Europe, so a contact in this side of the pond would obvioulsly be preferable, but for the right carpet, I'll go anywhere....

Looks and sounds pretty tempting - just a shame it's a right-hooker, or I might have been intersted....

Sorry you've got to sell, but good luck with it....

Check out this documentary on the building of Mobile Traditions 'brand new' BMW 2002tii built for the 40th anniversary!!

Unfortunately the movie is split into three parts, but pretty cool nonetheless....

Enjoy.... :-)

Hey there!

I'd be more than happy to help some fellow 02'ers out - even if you are Americans.... ;-) ;-)

I come from Denmark and currently live in France. I've also got several 02-contacts in 'Zee Mother Country'. Email me if you think I can help....

Nice buy mate!! And welcome to the world of 02s - it truely is a wonderful place.... :-D

I especially like the white 1600!! That's a real collectors item. As it's been said already, try to kep that one fairly - if not totally - original.

Good luck with them both mate!

Bad??

Nooo.... not at all.

Only a tragedy!!!

WOW!! Looking great mate and I really love the color combo - very retro.... Keep up the good work and keep us updated with more pics. :-D

Love it or Hate it....??

That's easy - HATE it!!

I doubt I would even want to pay ½ of that for this car. Imagine the kind of money you're going to be spending to put it all right!! For starters, getting the arches rigth is not going to be cheap - and it's also not a sunday-afternoon job....

Hmmm... certainly is beautiful workmanship and I'm sure she's a cracker to drive. But nonetheless, not really my cup of tea...

Nice pics Richard!

I've got a couple of mates who have Turbos - I'll try to get them to send you a pic too.... ;-)

the very same

WOW!! :-D

Bloody Hell guys, we've got a freckin' celebrity on the forum!! HeHe...

Well, Nick, did you get my email?? I sent you my french mobile number - we should meet up one day...

Well, I got some pics on the tread that Tony linked to.

Now let's get some more on there.... :-D

WOW!! Some stunning machinery on this thread!! I love the diversity...

But I can see it's been a while since the last post in this thread - I recon it's time we get it going again... :-)

First my beloved veronarot BMW 2002 from '73. I've owned her for 15 years now - it was actually my first car! Since then I've owned more cars than I care to count, but I (luckily) never had the heart to sell this one... I've got full history on her including the original bill of sale and documents on every change of ownership since then. I am only the fourth owner and I actually know all three previous owners.

When it comes to my 02 I'm very much a member of the "Originale Polizei". So I run her on the original Solex 40mm downdraught, with points in the ignition etc etc... HeHe... I love retro!! :-D There's some original BMW extras on her like the 38cm BMW sports steering wheel, BMW leather gearknob, rev. counter, BMW/Blaupunkt monoradio, green tints, a rightside doormirror and of course those 5" 'tii' steelwheels that make such a huge visual difference from the stock 4½".

My only compromise with originality is a rather discreet stainless steel exhaust from 'Larini Systems', 1" lower Alpina-replica springs from 'Team Andexer' and then the 185/70 tyres instead of the standard 165 items.

Hmmm... I could go on forever about my 2002 - stories about attending the "Bavaria Tour 2002" and the "Bavaria Tour 2006" with her and so on and so on, but I better leave that for another day and another thread.... ;-)

Unfortunately I don't have any digital pics of my BMW 3,0S. But it's a '74 in polarissilber metallic, with a blue velour interior and totally original. I took her off the road 11 years ago when I moved to Hong Kong, and I've just never gotten around to getting her registered again. Silly really as she's quite clean. Having been unused for so long now, she does however need suspension including bushes, brakes, tyres and a pretty serious tune-up. It'll happen some day....

Then there's my daily driver and track-tool. She was born a 325i in '93, but I've recently transformed her into a rather different creature! She's now got a 328i engine but with the bigger inlet manifold from the 2,5 and a euro-M3 6-branch exhaust manifold with a 'Reuter Motorsport' stainless steel sports exhaust. There's a Bilstein B10 kit on her, M3 bushes, ATE powerdiscs with Ferodo DS2500 pads, 'UUC Motorwerks' shortshift and a M3 25% LSD to top it off. Well, there's really also a whole lot more to tell about this one, but as this is an 02 forum, I won't bore you guys.... :-D

Now you've seen mine - go ahead, show me yours.... ;-D
