kristobias · 10-06-2020, 12:22 AM

Fall is a great time to drive and enjoy the color changes.

..Rush.. · 10-06-2020, 03:47 AM

Classic!

markmason · 10-06-2020, 04:20 AM

Too good.

These lightweight older cars are always so fun.

BMWCCA1 · 10-06-2020, 09:48 AM

Yep it is Sahara! It's a repaint of the original color.

Did you buy it in the current condition/current driveline or did you do the modifications/restorations? I like both options but wonder for myself which route I would prefer to take.

imported_mega · 10-06-2020, 11:53 AM

I still love these, one of the regular instructors at VIR has one with a sr20det in it, it's pretty damn fast

I did the full project (well I worked with a shop, I did easy stuff). I had a vision so I wanted to do it as a project rather than buying one. It's easier, cheaper and faster to buy someone else's build but this way you know what you are getting and can only blame yourself if you don't like it

E90M3velocity · 10-06-2020, 04:19 PM

Beautiful roundie 2002

chassis · 10-06-2020, 09:20 PM

Both gems!

celsdogg · 10-07-2020, 09:09 AM

wow. a beautiful 2002 with an s14. thats fantastic!

73Bavaria · 10-08-2020, 07:59 AM

Beautiful cars both of them !

I wonder how long it’s been since an oncoming “bimmer” has flashed their lights !

roastbeef · 10-08-2020, 10:21 AM

what a nice pairing... that engine in that car. how does she feel?

Like an M version of a 2002. The chassis can handle the hp and the engine external dimensions are similar and weight is pretty close. A high revving NA motor is a formula BMW never should have given up on!

qxangelxp · 10-08-2020, 08:40 PM

That is a wonderful car.
You take great pics!

I might see a 2002 in my future.

My 135 is a heavy boy, and I love putting around in my 4-banger honda fit.

If only I could combine the two...
