excuse my ignorance, but whats the crazy obsession with these cars? I've never looked twice at these cars.. not my cup of tea
They were the first BMW to really "make it big" in the United States, which paved the way for the E21 and E30.
Having driven Channing's, I can say that they are very basic, pretty slow (although not terrifyingly so) and nowhere near a modern car in terms of refinement. Keep in mind, the 2002 was made before "BMW" equaled "luxury." That said, it's WAY better than a lot of other cars you could have bought in the mid-70s.
