"The current owner has prioritized a well-functioning vehicle in terms of drivability and essential functions. However, there is now an opportunity to enhance it further by focusing on detailing and the exterior. This particular model, being a vintage USA-spec version that still retains many of the European specifications, offers an interesting combination of features."

Description

The car was registered in 1972 and came to Sweden from the USA 11 years ago. Only now has the current owner registered it in Sweden. It has been inspected and is ready to drive. The owner has renovated the brakes front and back. New hardy disk and support bearing have been installed. The ball joints and tie rod ends have been replaced. It has been serviced with motor oil, automatic transmission oil, oil in the rear axle, oil in the steering gear, and antifreeze, and all belts have been replaced. In addition, a km-meter with instrument has been installed in the car. The original miles-meter and instrument are included. The actual mileage is unknown. The car has a sunroof (the cable to the hand crank is defective, but the sunroof can still be opened and closed easily), and the drainage channels have been cleaned. The AC system mechanically works but needs to be checked and refilled. A functioning, period-appropriate Becker Mexico radio has also been installed. The car comes with various parts, original steel rims, and hubcaps.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts easily and runs smoothly without any knocking or unusual sounds from the engine or drivetrain. There are no vibrations present. The steering feels light while driving, although it may feel slightly sluggish when the car is stationary. The undercarriage is in good condition, and there are no signs of oil leakage. However, the ignition lock spring is worn and may need to be replaced. Additionally, the front suspension will require an alignment after the installation of the new ball joints.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior in original condition with some wear and tear, the driver's seat has a tear in the cushion. The heat control knob is sticking. Crack in the rubber seal for the windshield.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car has been completely or partially repainted, but it has been some time since the repaint was done. The current paint has a slightly dull appearance and shows signs of small damages and previous repairs underneath. The gloss and glass surfaces are in good condition. It is equipped with nice BMW/BBS wheels fitted with new tires. However, one of the position lights on the fenders (USA version) has a broken glass.

  • General condition:

    The BMW 02 series is highly sought after as a collector's car today. It is considered a comfortable "family sports car" and, in a way, a predecessor to the popular GTI cars that have been a success over the years. Here we have a vehicle in good mechanical condition that can be driven and used as it is, serving as a rolling restoration project, or undergoing a more extensive restoration. The choice is up to the new owner, who will acquire a classic icon from the 1960s and 1970s, regardless of the path chosen.

Facts about the model

After BMW resumed production following World War II, they offered a wide range of motorcycles, small cars, large luxury vehicles, and sports cars. In the early 1960s, they began to streamline their lineup, and the "Neu Klasse," a larger mid-size car with a sleek and spacious design, became a success. However, in the mid-1960s, BMW realized the need for a slightly smaller car to meet the increasing demand from the working and middle classes. They derived a new car from their successful Neu Klasse, initially fitted with the 1600 engine from the larger model but with two doors, and it was simply called the 1600-2. The rest is history, and it became a great success. Over time, the "2" was incorporated into the model designation, and the cars were named 1502, 1602, 1802, and 2002, depending on the engine power. Various epithets and letters were added based on equipment levels. Two-door models, convertible versions, and five-door Touring models were produced, and to top it all off, a turbocharged version was introduced in 1973. The 02 models were manufactured until 1977 with minor cosmetic upgrades. Regardless of engine configuration, they were spirited and enjoyable cars to drive, with excellent handling characteristics. As a result, they were loved by drivers with sporty ambitions and even racing enthusiasts. In total, 868,000 02 series cars were produced between 1966 and 1977.
