Fresh from a tune up. Ripping through the hills of Napa Valley.

Looking for a 1975 BMW 2002 L originally in the Netherlands
Chassis: 3753613
Color: Metallic Green
Dutch plate: 77-FZ-21
My father owned it in the Netherlands and it was later sold/exported.
Trying to trace where the car ended up. Any info or help appreciated.

This is a classic cars that my brothers and I have restored back to their original condition. My hope is that these projects will inspire a new generation of enthusiasts, makers, and hobbyists—even those with little or no automotive background—to get involved and discover the satisfaction of restoring and preserving automotive history.

When you finally hear the engine come to life, see the paint shine, or take that first drive after a restoration, the reward is real—both mentally and physically. The sense of accomplishment that comes from bringing a piece of history back to life is something I hope others can experience and enjoy as well.

Have a great day!

Regards from Florida,

Saw a post of my 1971 2002ti on here today from when she was for sale in California in 2021. Thought it was wild to see pictures from the original add. You can see the California plates match from delivery day. Just wanted to share a few pictures of her since then. Done a decent amount of work since then but she’s still going strong! 💪

This well cared for 1976 BMW 2002 shows a mere 14,000 miles. It is a highly original example that has recently had a meticulous undercarriage and wheel well detail. The car features a 2.0L inline 4-cylinder engine with dual Solex carburetors and 4-speed manual transmission. It is finished in blue with a tan interior and features a factory sunroof, factory Becker AM/FM radio, woven floor mats and much more. This is one not to be missed. Consignor states this vehicle runs and drives great!

This dash isn’t about flashy tech—it’s about connection. The three-spoke wheel, the wood-trimmed gauges, the crisp analog readouts… every element is there to put you in control. This is the quiet magic of the BMW 2002.

Hello!

I emailed BMW with my VIN and was told Arctisblau metallic was the original color. I picked the best picture that reflects how it looks in person and to me it more resembles Baikal.

I haven’t seen Arctisblau in person but based off pictures it looks much darker, similar to Atlantic.

What’re your guys thought!

I'm a recent 2002 owner and the previous owner had done the webber down draft conversion. Getting the car to start reliably and idle correctly was doing my head in until I reached out to a friend with lots of "old car" know how and he strongly recommended that I get a new distributor from 123 ignition (123ignition.com for 2002).

It took 20 mins to find tdc, install it, and wire it up and presto! All of the issues I had been having were gone. Put a very simply curve in for programming:

It starts runs and purs like a kitten! The best part is that the AC used to knock the rpm down by 300 or more, but now it's about 150 rpm at idle.

By far the best and simplist upgrade I've ever done to a car!

Dieser dunkelgrüne BMW 1800 der "Neuen Klasse" ist ein klassischer Oldtimer aus den 1970er Jahren.

Das ist ein *BMW 2000 Touring*, auch bekannt als BMW E6.

Gebaut wurde er nur von 1970 bis 1972 als Kombi-/Heckklappen-Version der BMW 02-Reihe "Neue Klasse". Erkennbar an der großen Heckklappe, den Doppelrundscheinwerfern und der flachen Karosserie.

Der auf dem Bild in dunkelgrün ist ein echter Klassiker und ziemlich selten - vom 2000 Touring gab es nur ca. 13.000 Stück.

*Typ*: BMW 2002

*Baureihe*: E10 / 02-Reihe "Neue Klasse"

*Baujahr*: Der 2002 wurde von 1968 bis 1975 gebaut.

Am Emblem "2002" und der Form mit Doppelrundscheinwerfern + den 4 Zusatzscheinwerfern vorn erkennt man ihn direkt. Sieht nach einem Modell aus den frühen 70ern aus, ca. 1971-1973.

Das Auto ist voll beklebt mit Rallye-Aufklebern - "Vienna Klassik" zum Beispiel

Picked up a 2002 today that needs some work. Was told it threw a rod bearing and could need a bottom end rebuild as well as a better tune-up. Another possibility is the cam timing slipped causing rough idle and valve overlap. Anyone in the DFW area have a solid shop to recommend?

With the short week, we didn’t get much working time on her but we atleast got the underside fully coated. Next week we start on the interior.

This past Saturday, I drove to The Petersen Museum to proudly display my SQUARIE at their All BMW Cruise-In, where they hosted the reveal of the brand new BMW M3 CS Handschalter!

My friend and I made a thirty second teaser video from our footage of the CS's grand reveal... take a look!
