The best car I ever owned was a yelolw 1975 2002. It should have come from the factory with wings because it could fly! Boy i miss that car.

1978. It was a marriage forces sale deal. I should have traded the ex instead! (Ended up doing it anyhow.)

I saw a 2002 today at a show. It was in incredible condition, almost flawless, very beautiful car when in good shape. Love the hood haha

There is one always driving near my house, that is currently primered so I guess it is a project car.

in terms of classic bwms it's definately between the 2002s and the 3.0CSL (aka the batmobile), would love to have a 2002, but i gots no room for another weekender car...

btw im loving this new site guys! keep it up!

**Zulu95** · 04-21-2005, 09:21 AM

I always loved the 3.0 CSI. It was the one "early" BMW I wished I had owned. Just did not happen.

**SHAHAB323IS** · 04-21-2005, 05:19 PM

my great uncle and grandpa each had a 2002

witeshark · 04-22-2005, 11:33 PM

I love 2002's! My family had a '75 E3 3.0si I wish I could find one!

How did I miss this section until now???

Mine is a 1970. It is in great mechanical condition. The paint is oxidized, but I have plans to repaint in the future. The interior is in excellent condition for being 35 years old.

I have done practically no work since I bought it over 3 years ago, and for two years straight I drove about 40 hard miles of canyons each day (sometimes more). I love the balance of the car. It does not have too much straight line speed, but for such a small engine it does have some good pep.

It handles like it is on rails, and once I get the syspension setup right to my liking it will handle even better.

Here are a few pics:

well I have to resize the pics because they are bigger than allowed, so I will post in a little while

Throw up a new thread with pics and descriptions and stuff. Haha, I saw you on United and was wondering when you'd come to take over this forum.

witeshark · 04-24-2005, 02:22 PM

That 2002 is a real gem

**RealBmw 02** · 04-25-2005, 11:30 PM

we should try to get some other 02's here, that would be sweet.

I will resize those pics when I get a chance. Won't be tonight because I have loads of work...hopefully tomorrow
