The Appeal

The BMW 02 series is really where the marque's modern reputation began. This compact, sporty sedan gained a reputation for excellence in handling and top-notch perfomance, with sharp-featured styling that felt timeless then, and still feels timeless today. They're now highly clamoured for as a true dyed-in-the-wool German classic.

This particular 1973 example stands out for its well-preserved condition, having spent its life in the dry climate of Madrid, Spain. Originally intended as a donor for a 2002 Turbo clone project, this vehicle remains in its original form as the conversion was never completed, which is all the benefit for the lucky buyer. It's in excellent condition through and through with plenty of originality on offer.
