1974 BMW 2002 review from Netherlands
"A classic sports-car, which even with an automatic gearbox is a real pleasure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not a thing up to now: the car needs a restoration and has rust in some places, but it is still a sound car for its year.
General comments?
This car is very quick for an automatic. It really shows that in the seventies B.M.W. was the manufacturer of sports saloons to beat.
It still puts a smile on your face even now.
Once you have sorted everything out and replaced all that needs replacing, you've got a car to keep a lifetime!
I am not too keen on the seats (they are from bad quality fabric) and the interior could be better.
