1972 BMW 2002: Regular Car Reviews

We drive the BMW 2002. This is the E30's Grandpa. It's one of the happiest classic cars I ever drove! Thanks to Ted Stoltz for being our 2nd photographer!

this episode inspired me to drive me '76 2002 across the country. (AZ to CT) it was the line at the very end: "enjoying the scenery and the long stretches of north america; there are worse things you could be doing with your time"

i just want to say thank you. it was the best thing i ever did. (so far, still young and dont wanna limit myself)

ps. the romans outro was actually really beautiful.

80 HP for 2 liter in the 70's is impressive

Forgot to mention that the little 4 cyl engine in the there was used to power the 1200+ hp BMW F1 machines back in the day...

mr. Regular, you nailed this one! i owned 5 02's in my automotive career. These cars are a blast to drive. Even in stock form on skinny tires.

Every time I go for a RCR marathon, I find it so convenient that there is a new review video to watch. I love it to no end!

One of the things I particularly like about the 2002 and the cars in its lineage down to the E36 is how glassy it is. Big windows, an airy cabin feel for a relatively small car, stellar visibility. It just feels nice to be there.

I remember wanting one of these as my first car, best beamer ever made in my opinion.

[Wvlfmane]

I knew a guy in high school who had one of these, it was like a rally go-kart. Not much power but when it was on a backroad it handled amazingly well.

Is no one else thinking, "this is the nicest review Mr. Regular has ever done of a BMW."

BMW 2002 : Didn’t come out in 2002
Ford 500 : Didn’t come out in 500
Honda S2000 : Did come out in 2000

Therefore, Honda is best
Any questions

That La La land song at the end's got me feeling emotional again

[towallomeesgel]

2:27 I love it.. you know he's a true car guy when he taps his feet together to shake the dirt off his shoes, before he gets into the car.

I love them little flap windows. My aunt Mary had a van when I was a kid with those little flap windows. My uncle Gary was disabled, so when I drove places with them I always got to sit in the front seat, and loved that little flap window. It was also helpful to vent their cigarette smoke, while not making them cold.

I freaking love 2002's. It's so hard to search for them though, you always end up getting a bunch of hits on MY 2002 325s or something.
