Vehicle Description
BMW's 2002 really kicked off a movement for the company that was
greatly needed as they wanted to offer a more powerful version of
the 1600 series in previous years. This mass produced and global
model provided significant revenue for the company and allowed to
pursue many other models and fine tune some of their other models.
The "Roundie" version is always sought out by any collector as the
unique real tail lights were only offered for a few years.
This stunning Atlantic Blue car was delivered to Brewster Bassett
on 1-3-72 out of Boulder Import Motors in Boulder Colorado where it
was enjoyed for many years. Then the car was sold to a gentleman
out of Florida where numerous records and receipts document his
service and repairs as he enjoyed the car. The paper trail lands in
Michigan where the previous owner had owned the car for many years.
The car has been extremely well cared for a 40+ yr old car and
still remains in relative stock appearance and features. The engine
was replaced in 1985 by a '75 BMW 2002 engine with Weber 32/36
carbs and Stahl headers. The BBS 6x13 wheels were also added at
this time along with a few upgrades to stereo and the Koni
suspension. All of these are period correct and does not take away
from this very stylish and nicely kept car. The car fires up with
ease, goes thru all 4 gears with ease and gets up to highway speeds
with ease. VDO gauges with oil pressure, temperature and voltage
seem to be operating properly and the Blaupunkt stereo with
amplifier is installed.
The vehicle is a timeless car that has a very strong reputation and
is becoming very difficult to find without major deficiencies.
These are a current classic and will continue to rise in price and
demand as the year progress. Vehicle comes with original manuals,
plenty of service receipts and parts receipts, maintenance logs and
car cover.
