The BMW 2002 is the car that taught the world what a sporty small sedan should feel like: light, simple, rear wheel drive, and just enough power to make you grin without needing a roll cage or a trust fund. This one is the right kind of project, a solid shell in that perfect “rescue […]
Remember when I was ranting about how expensive cars like the BMW 2002 have gotten? When was that? Earlier today? Oh, my bad. Anyway, time to eat my shoe because I found a reasonably priced classic European sports machine. It might be ugly, but it is cheap. Find this 1975 BMW 2002 offered for $4,500 […]
This next car comes from tipper Sean who writes: Would l like to see more pictures? Yes, but don’t ask. Why is it so close to the wall? Do I want this? yes if it for real. Does something seem fishy? yes. Find this 1973 BMW 2002 offered for $9500 via Los Angeles craigslist. See another […]
A few caveats with the next car featured — first it has “some rust” and second it is located in Jersey…but how bad can it really be, because the asking price is insanely low. Find this 1973 BMW 2002Tii offered for $7000 in North Jersey, NJ via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck. From the seller: This 1973 […]
The BMW 2002 isn’t the fastest car to drive from the 2nd golden era of motoring (the first was the roaring twenties, then the 1960s-1973, and well…now…but I digress) but it offers a good combination of driveability and classicality…but of which aren’t strictly speaking “words”…but the BMW 2002 isn’t really an automobile, either. It’s a […]
The ragged and crusty 2002 we posted last week (plus the stealth fighter version) got me thinking that there has to be a better way to pick up a classic BMW New Class, perhaps with a lower chance of getting tetanus or hep C. And then it hit me…get a 1976 example…at least if you […]
Any advertising man worth his salt will tell you that you’ve got to woo your buyer with sights, sounds, and smells within the first few seconds of introducing your product to him. Conversely, a shrewd buyer will tell you that the best deal is often found when no slick advertising schmuck is involved on the […]
The BMW Neue Klasse (new class) is primarily known for its 2-door version, the 1600/2000/2002, but they made quite a few of the 4-door sedan version. The 4-door version shared engines, transmissions and mechanical parts with the 2-door version but offers a little more access for the family man, and is much more rare on […]
Who isn’t a fan of the BMW ‘new class’–introduced in 1962 with the 1500, later adding the 1600, 1800, 2000 & 2002– and particularly of the 2002 Tii. Unfortunately for the average Fritz, the Tii models have skyrocketed in popularity and price in recent years, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find a nice one […]
This next feature reads like a script from a Sally Struthers commercial for the Christian Children’s Fund charity. Sad music plays in the background while it stares at you forlornly, with its puppy dog eyes. It is a pre-smog BMW 2002 located in the SF Bay Area for less than $1,750, and unlike the interest […]
