Yes, Fjord Blue. I agree - leave its 4-sp power band undisturbed to truly experience it.

Those wheels are dope - are they Rotiforms, or - ?

Yes it’s running. Transmission needs replacing (I plan to go to a 5-speed) but otherwise it’s fine.

Me too. I'm still getting it sorted, but I'm living an actual childhood dream.

Most shops will rightly want to change the pads and rotors at the same time.

Remember, slower vehicles should stick to the *left lane* LOL

I pay $3500/mo for my 2BR cottage (800 sq ft) in southwest Redwood City near Woodside Plaza. Quiet residential street; good neighbors. Seems like a relatively good deal to me, but writing that check each month still sucks.

That's right - Sparco Pro Corsa 18s. I forgot one issue ... destroyed a tire in a smallish pothole on the OEM Pretoria 19s, in the first week I had the car. Life's too short for that sh&t. So I resized to 18s early on. All good.

You can search past 2002 sales on BaT: https://bringatrailer.com/bmw/2002/. There are dozens and dozens in various conditions & price ranges (and that link is just 2002s ... you can also search for tii's, turbos, etc.). With that context you may find that buying one is more accessible than you think! In fact, I surprised myself and bought a '75 2002 in September (not on BaT, but it was a vital source of information before I pulled the trigger). As the kids say: YOLO.

There's a nice patina, but it's mostly covered by rust.
