My car in a Museum

[Wick]

For those of you that might be interested and be up in this direction over the next 6 months, my resto-mod 1972 BMW 2002 (M2) will be in the Saratoga Auto Museum in Saratoga Springs, NY until May 2014. :smile: Here's a link to a thread on another Forum with the details: http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/147612-02-in-museum/

Wow, that is nice! Brings back memories of a burgundy '71 Tii that pegged my fun meter every time I drove it.

That thing really is nice and I am no BMW fan. Congrats.

always loved the older style bmw's.

Wow, congrats! Nice build and a good way to winter store your baby.

Nice collection of BMWs! Wished I had the funds or the space to expand my collection.

I'm no fan of Bavarian Manure Wagons either. They're all grotesque shitboxes.

Sorry my post and the link to my car (BMW) offended you. Next time I'll check with you before I post in this section, just to be sure it meets with your approval... asshole.

Car looks amazing!! Love classic BMW's and please ignore Hugh. He isn't a fan of German cars.

Gorgeous…love the color and the mods. First learned to drive a stick in 2002 in this color.

How long have you had it? Would love to read a build thread about it.

Thank you. I've had the car since 2004, the restoration took 4 1/2 years. Here's an article on the re-build: http://www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2010/01/01/hmn_feature1.html

You're very welcome. The car is gorgeous and the amount of craftsmanship into it is admirable. I wish my family had kept their 2002s.

My dad had one and put a 302 into it, blew it up, and sold it. I hadn't really considered owning one until recently. It's amazing how much you return to the cars you have emotional ties to. I'm supposing that you have a similar story?

Your post reminded me of this:

That car is simply amazing, a work of art! Congrats! Wonder what your E30 M is worth now? You lucky dog!
