The atlanta showroom is offering this 1976 bmw 2002. If ever there was an automotive trendsetter, bmws 2002 was it. Struggling for survival as a manufacturer of both large, luxurious cars and the motorcycle-engined 600 and 700 series, bmw was literally put on the world map by the compact 2002 bmw as it became the hit seller that the company had long dreamed of creating. And what a car it turned out to be. Lovingly referred to by its loyal following as an 02, from the time it was introduced in 1968, to its last iteration as a 1976 model when it was replaced by the more modern 320i. But unlike highly sought after old cars that collectors want to buy for investment purposes, the 02 is more of a cult car--perhaps the ultimate cult car at that--which serious performance car enthusiasts the world over seek to buy strictly for driving enjoyment. These are cars that were built to be driven, and driven hard. Although the 2002 was in production for nine years, it remained virtually the same throughout its production run. Its major change was an aesthetic one, when the 1974-76 models were fitted with rear rectangular taillamps and larger, energy-absorbing bumpers. Since all the bugs were worked out by the time the final 1976 models were produced, these are, without question, the best-built 2002s of them all. Gatewayclassiccars. Com. AM/FM
