The 2002 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made. Period.
I totally agree! I owned one back in 1977. Best car i ever owned! Simple and beautiful.
Tell that to the ferrari f40
My dad had one loved it every one else had cortina,s
they are great cars and look sweet but you imo are over exagurating, one of the most in the world is a bald statement but to each their own I guess.I think that jag still holds that tittle, even the remake of it I would buy.
Michael Sargent Italian design, German engineering. The best of both worlds.
This is my lifetime project. E10 with an M20 turbo engine. Thats it
What I like about it is that is a really lovely restomod. The 2002 has beautiful proportions. Tony’s looks like it handles brilliantly and gets its power onto the road without aimless wheel spinning. It doesn’t have the dreaded US spec bumpers of the later version that stick out absurdly front and back - thank goodness and, the original chrome details have been kept. In a way it’s actually an E30 dressed as a 2002 but that gives it charisma, tied to reliability and crazy-cool performance. A brilliant car.
I was not ready for this dude's voice xD
Giltr0y he’s so damn cool. Passionate and did a great job building this little badass!
@AutotopiaLA hey brother where can I find Tony I would love to build me a 2000
Iconic BMW,one of the best builds I've seen.Wish I still owned my '76.
Had a 1973 yellow 2002 with black interior; "The Bumblebee". Rebuilt the motor, adding an additional 100 hp; 200 hp total. Sport Bilstein shocks, Eibach springs, 2 2 barrel Weber carbs, Kleber tires, Stahl header, Ansa tips, Blaupunkt stereo & a black Momo steering wheel. Still to this day, it's one of the best handling cars I've ever driven; perfectly balanced. Taking an off ramp at 60-70 mph was never a problem! Slid PERFECTLY. Maintenance? Sometimes like a MG in the rain; it nickeled & dimed me to death! Loved the car, hated the bills. It wouldn't leave me alone! SOLD.
regrets
I never cared about wheels styles before. But after watching AutotopiaLA for 2 months now I now understand how important it is!
Seen the title,had to drop by and appreciate that beautiful car
I love e36s but 2002s are my all time favorite 🤘🏾
i swear all the cars you review are dreamcar material.
Winston Teoh tell me about it. For you and me both.
Gotta love the smile of the builders face when driving it so you know its worth it
Exactly! He doesn’t care what anyone thinks. He loves it and I think that’s cool!
What a beautiful sleeper. I'm impressed that the builder resisted fender flares and recaro seats.
Good observations BUT although he abstained from the vulgar fender flares and recaro seats he spoiled it just a little with those red rimmed low rider chrome tires . He just could not escape his Yankee DNA! Everything was in good taste tile the red flared tires were put on. Well, at least he did not run a thick line over the roof and the bonnets.
Those red rimmed lowrider tyres are the best part of the car.
use to own a BMW 2002 tii... back then it was a special car
today i still feel the same... FAB Car..thumbs UP!!
These have always been cool imo and I love the build he did to this one
love the quick glance in the mirror before he bags it up... that comes from experience.
That’s right
Einer der schönsten BMW die je gebaut wurden wenn nicht der Schönste !!
sillyness, 507 and CSL are much better looking cars, but i still love the roundies
I have a 1976 2002 with an automatic trans and standard power plant, real slow, but that is how I move, you can spend a lot and this guy did, simply beautiful. These care are like a love/hate relationship, but the pride in ownership is a great reward, I have had Ferrari owners drive past me, of course, and give the thumbs up! It cracks me up.
I remember me too. I come from a BMW family and father and mother works in Munich Milbertshofen. When i was a youngster, i had a BMW 2002 Coupe with 100 PS, 2002 ti 120 PS and a 2002 tii with Kugelfischer injection with 130 PS. It was a lot of fun to drive in the dolomites and the hills in bavaria. Now is a BMW X3 35D with 313 PS my own and i life for BMW. My father had the number 43 at the new beginning 1946 in Munich. Sorry my English is not so good, i am Bavarian in Germany and thats different.
Thanks for your comment. Sounds like a very BMW family. Great cars and history!
SurferHermann... You have nothing to feel bad about. Meine deutche died a long time ago! I went to the American High School in Ludwigsburg from 1961 to 1965, about 10 kilometers from Stuttgart. There have been quite in list of BMWs in the family since 1969 but my current car is a 330xi, 5-speed manual. My last E39 5-series got crunched by a brain-dead college kid about 7 years ago and this was the replacement. I wouldn't tell him about it, but I like this car far better than the one he ran into! The 5-speed manual, all-wheel drive and the 3 liter six make for a very responsive little car. It has 189,000 miles on it now and I'll probably keep driving it for another 189K!! I much prefer the simpler car compared to all the electronics they pile into the cars now. As they get older, the problems will be overwhelming. Guten Tag und Merry Christmas!! ;^)
The 2002 is one of my dream classics, it's absolutely beautiful
Omg that’s so awesome, I just love old BMW’s. I need one in my life.
Hurricane Sam this one is so cool isn’t it? See you tomorrow to shoot yours finally!!
Yeah its awesome. See you tomorrow
Ok dude I’ll look in to it
A league of its own. Hats off to the builder, this beast is an absolute minter.
I agree completely. Tony did a killer job and built the car he wanted
So simple, so beautiful !!
This car is super awesome! I keep thinking about building a 2002!
Me too but there expensive now
I was just about to ask for more Corvettes and European restomods when I saw this upload! What a nice little BMW! Love the red finish on the engine and those BBS look like jewelry! The only thing I would do differently is the exhaust. It would be very nice to watch this car carving a canyon road! Thanks for the video.
MarMPB cool. Glad we could get you what you were looking for. More to come with Euro cars and soon doing a killer C5.
That's what's up..love everything about it. Priceless
Great work, Nice video. The result is breathtaking👍
J'ADORE
un rêve que j'aimerai bien avoir.
BRAVO
Awesome Video.. Bavarian Fan 100 ..shout outs to this builder
Beautiful from top to bottom.
Rodcodnito 00 totally agree
Rodcodnito 00 exactly, just so nice
Paint job sucks
Don't forget bumper to bumper
As a child I had an uncle who had one. He took me for a ride in it and asked if I’d ever seem 100mph before? Then he showed me!!! What a thrill being 10 yrs old in 1972 and to experience that rush!!
I felt in love with this BMW when I saw it in a music video of one of my favorite artists ✌️🚙🏜️🛣️
It’s such a cool build and Tony is awesome!!
Nothing better as 02... i love this car .... Servus from Bavaria
Never seen a 2002 in person. But always been my favourite
Don't know why but I see that car being beautiful in a cream colour
I love the 2002, but having grown up with a e9 always in my dads driveway and having been driven to school in it. I'm partial. Sexy 2002 none the less.
Both are nice but imo overall the E9 looks better
Beauty, the Tires, the Original Dashboard Instruments
Verry Cool 😎
that is the sickest 2002 i have ever seen, 5x the original power with newer running gear, what a superb sleeper it is
Couldn’t agree more with you. I loved going for a ride in this thing.
I’m not a fan of BMWs, but I heard these oldie Bimmers were the goodies. Well built, reliable cars. Not at all like the new stuff.
100% quality
Totally agree!!
Super BMW comme j'en avait une mon plus beau souvenir de ma jeunesse je l'adore
Sick build, all BMW! These owner and builder spot light episodes are the best. Newly sub’d and glad I found you guys.
I have to say you guys are both 100% real car guys, thanks for posting this video I love it! :) Subscribed!
Thanks! Yeah, total geeks over here. I live for this shit!!
That engine bay is incredible.
Wow this guy put alot of work into this car he covered all the bases inside out Awosome build,it shows how much he loves it.
Agreed. I love what Tony did with this car and that he drives it regularly
WOW! Simply great!
Always have loved the 2002, looks like a blast to ride, well done 👍👍
Christopher Marechal thanks Chris! I always thought they were cool but this one is such a little badass!!
He built an amazing car... I love it. Once his voice changes he'll rule the world...
His voice is the best...squeaky and quirky...such a cool guy and a great build
really,really cool sleeper!!!!thanks for posting!!
warren topping glad you enjoyed it. I had a blast shooting with Tony. Great guy and killer car he built.
I love 02's. I had an identical looking 02 to this about 30 years ago and have had BMW ever since. Currently own an E30 M3, although plan to get another 02 next year. This is an absolute peach though. Kudos!
Awesome!!
It’s been my dream since 2006 to buy one of these. Someone told me I’m the perfect match for this car due to my height and loyalty. I was deeply touched after they let me ride in it. It’s such a smooth goer.
"Let me tell you!" Out talked Shawn
very well executed!!!! you guys looked so cool driving that thing
Antwon Harris it was a blast to go for a ride in it. Tony built a seriously great car!
them bbs rims are amazing!
Long live!!! M1, E21 ,E24 ,E34,E28,E30,E9 3.0 !!!😍😍❤️❤️
OO=[][]=OO very beautiful!!! BMW 2002 Turbo ,BMW 320I
Fantastic ! I'm doing a E36 (318i) Engine in my 1973 2002
Awesome!!
Thank you guys, highly appreciated! such cool video
Glad you enjoyed it. Such a cool car and owner/builder too
Great looking car..... A bit more powerful that the one I had and restored way back in "92. It sounded a bit odd describing it as a two thousand and two.... I and many others are used to it being called.. A two double O two,
Beautiful little 2002 and a great conversion - Re: the mechanical speedo, you can convert them to electronic signal drive off the trans, there's people that offer this conversion as I've done it to a few classic Jags.
Love this little rocket
Beautiful!💎
Very nice car! Good job! BRAVO!
Awesome car awesome Channel keep up the good work Sean thank you!
Gary Voll thanks bro and I agree on the car. Just a killer build.
I love the host more excited than the owner....!
How much things cost , has always been a very "bad question"
and that hasnt changed since "the car guy" was invented.
Its a labor of love...the money comes out of your pocket over time.. Your not paying labor , your figuring it out as you go along.
Each car has its on challenges even the same model car.
How much does or would it cost.
I feel bad for people that dont have the time to build a car or a motorcycle.
They miss out on a major part of building. It is enjoyable and relaxing as fishing. Its rewarding and instant gratification.
You tube has completely helped the "car guy" youtube has inspired more builds and helped create new car guys everyday.
It does feel like an uncrackable code , when ever you ask How Much.
A home builder meanders thru a build.....he has receipts in a box , bag or in a draw.....or multiples of each.
If you have a "A shop " build it
Sometimes its their first build ( they dont know)
If they are a specialiat of this car they have past builds to give you an Idea.
So the cost is "Always elusive"
If you go to a car show....the owner is going to say " more than I want to tell you"
Or if his wife is around " you will never get him to say!"
If you learn your self by researching forums and youtube videos. You just rack up sweat equity and gain an education.
If you pay some one that has built lots of cars . You ,will at least,
Will get a finished car.
Can not ,have someone, build you your dream car ,that doesnt have at least three fully built cars behind him.
Cause it takes "lots of time"
There have been "lots" of unfinished cars.
I have seen alot of first attempts ,
By owners that knew nothing about cars, build and learn on one car.
Then they build another and another.....they learned how to learn.
How much does it cost...????
To a car guy in his garage building his car. Money only enters the picture when he has to adjust his lifestyle to afford his next brainstorm.....to CREATE.....
Body work and paint is more expensive than most people think.
Thats why the Rat Rod look became popular. The time and money saved is a big chunk of any build.A bigger chunk then the non automotive person can understand.
Known parts are easier to add up. Its the miscellaneous stuff that adds up in addition to the known parts. Things like wire, nuts bolts , screws, rivets,clamps, lubricants, hoses, brake lines, fuel lines , more clamps, clips, adhesives, and tools you will buy lots of tools.
Interiior, another whole subject on its own.
Engine transmission drive shaft , rear end, suspension ???
Not many , if any car enthusiasts ,builds a car , by cost analysis!
The car would never get" started".
An enthusiasts car gets built from an Idea.....some how the money comes , the parts come ,
It comes together...some how from sheer desire and will.
If you want it ,so bad you can see it finished, you can , just see it, finished so clearly it gets you completely excited.
That is when you start ....hold that vision and live it ,till the car is sitting in front of you , just the way you imagined it.
And when some one asks you " how much does it cost?" Your eyes glaze over, a smile ....comes to your face...and you say..." I realy dont know"
Great comment!! I always ask for the viewers that don’t have a clue of what it takes to build. Even a simple build let alone some of the radical stuff we show here. And I’m just an enthusiast. I don’t enjoy wrenching at all. Never got the relaxing part of it. My brain just doesn’t go in that direction so I’m always curious of money but also time, energy and creativity involved.
@@AutotopiaLA the "problem with the car culture" is THERE IS NO PLACE TO FIND THE ANSWER.
And the old " if you have to ask you cant afford it" Doesnt ring true,
because cars ,drive out of back home garages, everyday that Kick Ass in originality and performance.
So , because the car magazines dont tell you! The TV car channels never tell you. Where is one to know. Where is one to find out?
No place.... There is no place.
Just paying somebody to make your dream car a reality is VERY expensive.
The only way a guy that has no interest at all in building his own car......is to buy something ready built ...that comes close.
one of my favorities as a kid too, awsome just awsome dudes loved it what a beamer man
Kevin Quinton yeah man, killer car. Love what he did with this.
Always with the wonderful content
Looks so good! What a fun car.
I swear I can watch this video all day
I love mini muscle..
I have a 2002 that I would ABSOLUTELY love to have set up like this one.
Just beautiful man,I own an E30 and this is so sweet..👌🏽
He nailed it on this one. Class looks with perfect amount of power
This guy is me,with my E24, it's also Alpine Weiss with red/polished basket weaves, with a black finished Nardi Torino, and I also have a Dinan turbokit from a E34 535i I've been reviving and gathering supporting mods/parts for. My car needs it's paint and body/chassis gone over though.
Awesome! This thing is so cool. Great build!
Thank you for this video!!! Nice Nice Nice!!
Killer 2002!!
So clean. One of the only bimmers I would ever own.
This thing is a little badass and the owner is such a great guy
I love the "Respect your elders" on the rear window haha
😂 hilarious!
カッコイイ！
ハコスカとは違うけど、この時代の車は乗る楽しみがあるようで良いです！
ユキjojo

Great Opening!!Love the 2002! I want electric!!
Thanks! Fun car. Love the time and energy put in and the passion.
There is a channel / presentation of classic VW, BMW etc body’s with electric power!
Perfect RestoMod right there, taking parts from the newer model and adding boost for the win I love it. Loving the variety of cars you feature keep it up!
Big Rich thanks and I totally agree. Love his approach to this car. Such a cool build.
I like it!!! It kind of reminds me of an old 1966 Plymouth Valiant, that my father used to have. It has a slight resemblance to it from the front.
Nice and clean love it!
Shawn that’s bad ass. I’d love to see the outcome against the M4 !!!!! Absolutely love that little 2002 it looks so sleeper and it’s been put together real well. Great episode as always bro
Ross Lynn thanks. Would be fun to see it run an M4 down. Such a cool little car.
would take the 2002 over the m4 anyday
Shawn with the full on Cheshire cat face! Sick.
Truth! I love the cars Tony builds
What a beefy lil treasure that is ! 😍
Totally agree!
Ahhh finally an exciting car vid ! What a beauty. A street hamster on steroids. Thx you !
Glad you liked it and great comment!!
This is a pretty cool 2002. nice job.
Your videos are so great man ......that little car is really mad....
Thank you! He built such a cool ride here and I love that he drives it a lot and drives it hard!
Awesome video! Beautiful built!
Thanks and yeah, Tony built a cool one. And he drives it a lot!
Of course I know this vehicle! I'm German and BMW freak, JAWOHL! Btw, beautiful vehicle, I love it!
Awesome!!
Magnificent
Frickin beautiful!...✌🏾💯
Agreed and a total little beast!
Stunning!😍
Sure is a little beauty
I love the old 2002. These and the Datsun 510 have a similar, cartoonish vibe that makes them cool.
Totally agree. I love the old 510 too! That would be a car I’d love to shoot. A well built one like Tony’s 2002.

I moved from Indiana to California in 1976. In Indiana where I grew up the only thing I ever saw that was BMW and I was young at the time was a motorcycle, didn't know they made cars. I was in Van Nuys one afternoon and I saw this body styled type vehicle coming up from behind pretty fast and I though that is show off, looked like a miniature Edsel in my rear view mirror. I was in my 1966 Nova 283 four barrel three speed and I opened it up, the little mother stayed behind the Nova the whole time. Mind you this is on the city streets of Van Nuys California, 1976 and I was doing just a little over 90mph and looking back I was glad nobody pulled out in front of me at an intersection. The Nova was light and fun.
A lot less cars on the streets back then. The 2002 is cool and this one is just better. Fun car. Styling is timeless. Great story!
SUPER FIRE
Thats not e30 m3 engine its the m20 standard straight six
Got it. Misunderstood on my part. Thanks for correction.
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering how they got 400+HP from a i4. But of course, it’s a silky straight 6!
In the '86 F1 season, the 1500cc BMW M12 4-banger had a max power output of 1400hp heh
@@Mac65 are you serious? Hondas make that reliable with just rods and pistons with some other supporting mods.
Adam Elmachkour yes I agree. I’ve been giving up on old beemers, porsches and jags bc I’m tired of slow cars that cost a fortune of my time not driving them bc they break too easy.
love the 2002 one day........ i will build one 😜
great job there👍
The car of my dreams
Sick!
I have one in my garage right now I'm fixing, and when the owner said it took him 5 years , and an open check book , I got kinda worried , I'm hopeful though. Sick little car , love it.
Astref total little badass! Keep going on yours and show it to us all when it’s done.
AutotopiaLA most definitely.
Wicked 02! I'm a proud owner as well 🤙
This is a cool build. Love 2002’s!
I have e30 with same engine, but this is sick, I want one ❤️
The first thing that excited me was waiting to know how the suspension setup was different, power is one thing, handling is the real hero behind the scenes.
Power with no suspension or brakes sucks!
Paul Beatty .. I guess they mention it reinforced the suspension ?
