Title: For Parker: BMW 2002
Post by: Red Hook on February 27, 2011, 11:14:11 AM
Parker, what do you know about the BMW 2002. Whenever I see one in the streets I always stop and look no matter the condition of it. Fools gold or worth it?

I always wanted one [fully stored and a shiny new pain job]

Is that the one were the whole front end flips forward to access the engine? Friend had one back in the day, his experience was that it was a piece of shit.......but it could have just been his car. ;D

Fools gold. A attorney friend of mine had one, took me for a spin...it was fun as hell, but he got rid of it. He said that due to it's small size and lack of safety features---like crash beams in the doors, it was a death trap...The Alfa Romeo Guilia or GTAs of the late 60s early 70s were it's competitor on the road and on the track, and were a lot more pretty. In fact the Alfa Romeo was in a Shaft movie, funny seeing Richard Roundtree getting out of such a small car...

The 2002s are great for the track, but shit on the road---all Cars even today's Mini are way bigger than it...and yes, they lack safety features...it's a metal deathtrap on the road...

Yeah man, even though this guy had a 5-point harness in his, that car was nothing but a tin can with four wheels, and you were the Tuna...didn't help that his speedo didn't work either---a attorney not knowing what speed he is going, lol. It was a fun spin---but, you had the feeling like a Miata could crush you. If the dam thing had a airbag, it would be a danger, as it would eject you out the back window.

I've only seen that bodystyle twice in real life, and it was a 2800 CS, both were owned by a old man in Annapolis, MD. Since I don't go to BMW meets, I probably would have seen more. One has a better chance of spottig a Ferrari than a 70s CSL

Yes it is. I almost got killed in one of these models clearly unstable but they dress out as a good race car on the road courses handling is good.
