This is the best car I've ever owned. Most all of the parts are still available new from BMW. Numerous owner clubs and parts sites as well.Lots of used parts available too, with a little internet searching. It is one of the most economical-to-drive and own as any car I have had. With a good shop manual, anyone with even just mild mechanical ability can maintain and repair it. Braking is excellent because of nice sized discs up front. Factory performance is good even by today's standards. Handling is better than most new sport sedans; it feels like a go kart. Very forgiving and predictable when being driven at the limit because of its neutral handling. Want tail-happy? Just mash the go pedal in a hard, fast turn. The car has a power to weight ratio on par with most current high-performance sedans. Weight is just over 2000 pounds and with about $500 in mods it will produce 140-150 hp. The car was designed to be a competitive racing machine and during its heyday it dominated the sports sedan classes. I've modded mine to about 140 hp and it still gets about 25 mpg. Easy to work on and the build quality is excellent, and after 35 years it is as solid and squeak-free as when it left the factory. Its styling gets you noticed and gets compliments everywhere you go. A driver's car in its purest form, I challenge you to find another car that is as much fun to drive. It begs to, and is built for, being driven hard. If you want an old car that has a high, high coolness factor, this is it. I will never sell mine!Jul 04, 2010

Beautiful classic body style, gets attention everywhere I go. I bought it 2 weeks ago after a long search trying to find one, drove 500 miles round trip and it was well worth it. Everything works, clean interior, no rips. If you can find one, buy it.Feb 09, 2010

The car was great but unfortunately it didn´t run that long. So the fun factor the car surely had, was not very long for me. This was due to the age of the car at the time as i bought it.Jul 17, 2009

The classic mean 2002... I got this car for free*
* I had to get a ride to VA to go pick it up... I had to stop every 30 miles and add gear oil to it (usually 2 wheels on a curb and me under it soaking my elbows in that lovely smell of gear oil) the thing was leaking mad ! I wound up rebuliding the trans and topend of motor, some electrical work a new ANSA exhaust and my free car was now a $2000 investment with much hard late work and bruised bloody knuckles
It was definately a cool car to drive, it caugh on fire one day in NYC, during the puerto Rican day parade ! the FD cam roaring through the parade as I burned in Times Square ! Oh and I also got a parking ticket while burning !!!
good times, i'd get another one if the price is right one day...Nov 07, 2008

Formerly a 100 BHP 2002 carb, upgraded to mechanical fuel injection, pushing out 130 BHP. It was destined to be a classic from the first day of production. Next upgrade would be to dump in a 5 speed gearbox. It's a BMW 2002tii. a Cult Classic. Need i say more?Aug 27, 2008

This is my first car and still excites me everytime I drive it. I have spent the last 6 years getting into tip top shape. It is quick enough to make it very fun, and sometimes a little dangerous. It can cruise at 100 mph all day long. After my interior retrofit is done it will be as comfortable as a new car too!Jan 15, 2008

will surprise any little civic rice boy out there who thinks its some old german car that doesnt
have any power, but surprise, surprise, it has power! and it weighs almost nothing so its
damn fast and the handling is remarkable. RWD FTW!!Dec 30, 2007
