1973 BMW 2002: A Tastefully Modified Treasure
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 апр 2018
- This week we’re a few hours north of the Petrolicious HQ in Los Angeles as we follow Lisa and her tastefully modified E10 through the forested curves and rolling highlands of the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s her third 2002 so far, but this one was always defined as her lifetime car-a keeper-and the license plate tells you all you need to know in that regard: translated from Latin, tesoro means treasure, and after a restoration prompted by some unfortunately clumsy tow-truck maneuvering, that’s exactly what Lisa’s 2002 has become. It’s exactly as she pictured it in her head, and with a host of choice aftermarket parts from the likes of BBS, Weber, and Recaro, we imagine she’s not alone in her admiration for this classic German coupe.

Hey everyone! Thank you so much to Petrolicious I’m so very honored! Your distinguished film making is incredible! Kudo’s to the film maker! 😉
I’m grateful to Performance Technic for the use of their facility for the interview. And Thank you to 2002 Garage Werks for putting up with me as an ‘Attention to Detail’ customer! 😉 I appreciate all the hard work you helped put into TESORO. I’m forever grateful to all my friends who have supported me whether it was your positive feedback or helping me source parts for TESORO’s build.
Happy Motoring and Drive Tastefully!
Otwoprincess Lisa Tastefully built. Beautiful👍👌
I would love to drink a beer with you! I love highway 35 as well, it's best at 7am on a weekend.
Your car is awesome!
A Beautiful Car.
Truly a fantastic car, your passion for it shows big time! Keep enjoying it!
Notice the button to open the trunk. You just push it and it opens by itself.
No idiotic electronics nonsense and foot waving.
Jaikee Berlin in my 76 you need to push the trunk down and hit the button. Honestly I think it’s the best security measure because nobody can ever figure it out.
My car has central locking because you can reach all the locks from the drivers seat.
@Benjamin Button i wish that was the same in England but it's still more popular lol
@albertt SSpear What's the garbage part?
Man you guys sure are excellent in showcasing these cars and their stories. Thanks again, good job done by this tastefull lady!
great car !
Cool woman and love her style . Clothes and car and even her classic gloves. The color of the total classic car compliments her style of clothes also. I like her also have a faulding chair in my boot for that much needed coffee brake at a nice spot .
The world needs more Lisa's, great job of bringing her passion for the car hobby across - as always.
Hope my family understand why I choose all these oldies, old cars seem to disciplining me to be planful and focus. At the same time, they educate us on what's wrong with them when something going to fail.
Have not seen a more cleaner and beautiful 2002 than this. It literally has everything how I’ve always imagined my 2002 to be like.
When I watch a car video 3 times in a row, I know it's Petrolicious!
Saw this car on Jay Leno's Garage a while back. Loved it then and love it now. As an early 70's 2002 owner I can attest to the fantastic drivability and overall automotive aura these cars have, they are as fun to drive as they are to just study and admire. And for those of you who aren't familiar, this awesome 2002's caretaker Lisa, is a true car girl and petrol head. She owns a couple stunning bimmers. I say it every week and I'll say it again, great job Petrolicious!
Same woman, different car.
@@martingardens Lisa has a 67 1600 featured on Jay Leno's Garage and this 1970 2000..
@@eduardom98 Thanks. I know. Lisa is a friend of mine. She also has another Petrolicious video with the 1967: ruclips.net/video/RyuCil9wSJw/видео.html
What a well done film. Cinematography was fantastic, darkness and shadows with the light just barely peeking through the trees really helped reveal the depth of the car. And what an awesome owner! She’s truly passionate about driving and it shows. Wish more people out there thought the same.
"Art in motion" - great line. Sums up driving a classic car.
Wow......one of your best so far!! That scenery and those winding roads....I need them!!
Amazing car, woman, and shots.
"These are arts in motion."
Driven that road many, many times. Love seeing it filmed here and revisiting it now that I am 3,000 miles away. Beautiful car with a beautiful driver on a beautiful piece of road.
True Treasure
the 2002 aint bad either
The 2002 is one of those cars that feel relatively modern to drive and in some ways better than newer cars that make the driver feel so isolated from the road.
Anyone with money can just got out and buy what they want. But to build your own dream car via restoration. Is a feeling that no amount of money can touch. Knowing that it's built, not bought !
« Why not do that tastefully »....she understood it all !
This was a great film. It was really nice to listen to the way she talks about her car. Very educated about her car and has great taste with a down to earth vibe.
Makes my hair stand on end watching your videos. You grasp every emotion and all the passion in every shot and all the right questions are answered.
I remember seeing her on Jay Leno's Garage awhile back. Both Lisa and her car are stunning. Thumbs up for another perfectly epic video.
New BMWs are fabulous cars but the old ones have a look and style that is compelling. The 2002 is a highly desirable car.
New BMWs are crap.
It’s when I hear others talk about they’re affection for their machines that I feel normal. Just to drive for the sake of driving. This is another masterpiece. Well done!
Great job done with this car. I love that she built this car with such restraint which is why it is so perfect.
I miss my 02 until I remember what it was like to own a vintage car as an only car, on a budget.
Are they a money pit
@@Prince-gu8or Yes. But they have their charm
@@Prince-gu8or all vintage cars are moneys pits
@@Prince-gu8or not as bad as some other cars of the same era, provided you have a rust-free example to start with. Mechanically, 2002s are very simple. Upgrading the ignition to an electronic version will eliminate the most failure-prone item, which is rue of any car with old-school points-and-condenser ignition. I put a couple hundred thousand mile on a couple of '02s with no more than routine maintenance and occasional to-be-expected repairs, like broken motor mounts (good for maybe 30k miles at a go) and gaskets, i.e. valve cover gasket, water pump gasket, oil pan and distributor housing gaskets. Those will all start to leak or ooze about every three years, but aside from the oil pan gasket are all easy to repair. Past 250000 miles, things start to wear out of course. Transmission synchros, then bearings inside. The differential might need attention, or it may go a million miles with no trouble. Shifter bushings, a pretty easy fix. All in all, mush less trouble than a 70's Porsche or any English car, maybe a little less reliable than a Mercedes. With a couple spare alternator belts I'd travel cross country in one without hesitation. They are notorious for throwing belts at random.
I think the budget was always the problem for me. Also it's different if you are passionate about a car and people around don't understand and only think that you should have a new one to keep up with the jonses
I think I've seen her on Jay Leno's Garage. Charming lady and great car and story.
Yep, Jay featured her and one of her other 2002s. The lady has great taste in cars.
Yeah thought so , took me half the video to remember :)
Saw that JL videoo too, but I like this one better.
@@JDsHouseofHobbies Nah, it was the same lady but she brought her 1600 in that video, not the 2002. Both amazing cars. But yes, she does have great taste :)
Beautiful car, beautiful road, beautiful video. Congratulations, Lisa and producers of this video.
"but when u get in a car and drive it, its like dancing. U and the car on the road" goddamn i got goosebumps
The comments from this lovely lady about manual transmissions and the wonderful exhaust note starting at 5:37 made this video so special. Thank you Lisa and Petrolicious.
Respect for the way she treats and enjoys the car and stunning footage as always
I had a '72. Drove it from Venice to Mammoth Mountain regularly in the '80's. It never let me down and with a well fitted pair of German tire chains, it was a blast in the snow. Wish I still had it!
Great car, great owner, great video.
Why do I have to comment this? like you guys don't know this already...
Omg this is amazing I have seen her at multiple car shows her car is amazing in person and she is super nice! This car was so deserving of an episode all the little things were done right on this car.
'Had a 1969 1600 from 1969 to 1974. It was the same body with a slightly smaller engine. I also lived in Marin where this film was shot. Talk about a flashback seeing this classic car driving on my favorite roads. Many thanks!
Another beautiful Petrolicious video, with a lot of style and beauty in it. Those 70's BMW's are just so much cooler than today's status symbols...
Can’t get enough of this beautiful duo. Beautiful gal with a beautiful car
Wow, I'm not sure if I love the car or the driver more! Amazing, we need more passionate and articulate drivers like her promoting the love of vintage car ownership. Bravo Petrolicious for showcasing this car and its owner.
I so appreciated this reflection and story about the E30 but moreover the joy that it brings to Lisa. Great CA. roads that look like up on Mt Tam. Thanks for the share!
Still one of the most beautiful 2002's out there.

🆗️👍
She is tremendous, lovely and well loved.
You both make a grand pair and team!
I was just driving my 1963 nova wagon home this evening from work.
your video made me happy knowing why we keep old cars on the road.
you inspire me to really work on mine
Good for Lisa for restoring this beautiful car. In 1973 I ordered a brand new 2002 in British Racing green with caramel coloured interior from a small dealer in my town. Hardly anyone in my area new what they were. Likely the biggest regret of my life I did not keep that car. It was a beauty and so wonderful to drive.
This BMW and Lisa are both beautiful and amazing.
The owner's commentary is spot on. God damn I love 2002s.
Art in motion. You phrase things so well. You're right - it's an honour to keep these vintage cars on the road. I have a classic Saab 900 Turbo and a Eunos JC Cosmo and love them both. I always take the opportunity to give them a run, when the sun is out. And always good feedback from other drivers and passers by. I hope you still have the 02. An iconic design.
I drive my 67' 1600 with a 2liter higher comp motor w a mild cam in the Bay Area mountain roads, it needs a few things but it's a blast to drive
Beautiful..i just couldn't believe a lady with such a passion for her car..very well narrated and it was a delight watching this episode..keep it going guys..
truly wonderful piece of cinematography with a good story and great guest - you are special!
more women should be like this
You not know what she is really like from this video.
James Dunn I presume he meant like this with cars. She knows how to drive a five speed vintage car pretty well.
A lot of us are. ☺️
Agreed
atm im at the point in my life where i finally managed to get a car, this being almost 6 years after i got my driver's license, i learned how to drive a manual and after 6 years of not driving at all i started to apreciate it, one friend wanted to see me drive so he let me behind the wheel of his VW passat that has an automatic gearbox and even tho its been 6 years since i last driven and never experienced an automatic it didnt feel quite right but... it felt like second nature the moment i got behind the wheel of my car that has a manual, im thankful for not having a car all these years cause it proved to me that this is something right for me to drive, thank you lady for this sharing your experience, i saw it at the right moment i guess.
Lisa is the best Petrolicious guest that's appeared for a long long time. She truly understands and loves the automotive hobby.
beautiful video and awesome owner! Saw her back on Jay Leno's Garage as well. A real BMW Enthusiast
What a tasteful restomod. And her driver shows through on it's design. The 2002 is so easy on the eyes for me, and this video was a true joy.....thanks!
This is probably the prettiest 2002 I've seen. My first car was a '67 1600, then bought a new '69 2002. This brings back a lot of nostalgia... excellent memories, on the same roads she's driving...
The fact that under the bonnet still lies some proper M10 tells the whole story about the seriousness and taste of this Lady. Kudos to her.
I love her passion. She's great. Beautiful restoration.
WOW, a lot of tasteful mods done to this beautiful classic! Well done!
This is a beautiful car. My first car was a 1972 2002 Tii that was highly modified and to date it's the one I miss the most. It was great watching this and how tastefully she has modified her 2002. Happy motoring and thanks for sharing.
another episode to make my day. Gooseskin all over. My parents had one in red with the rectangular rear lights. I was allowed to drive it to school on Saturdays. Good old times way back then...
Thank You guys at Petrolicious, keep finding and making those treasures!
Lisa I'm only half way through the video and I had to stop the video to write this comment...You have excellent taste and are a super cool Petrol Head ... btw love the driving gloves!
She really did an amazing job restoring this car, I love her taste, black fit perfectly, especially with the lights, chrome, and the custom interior
Wow, what an incredible video! The description in her emotions for the car and the driving experience have encouraged me to start looking for one of these beautiful cars.
Art in motion -Very True
Thank you for sharing & thank you Petrolicious
One of the nicest 2002’s I’ve seen and one of petrolious’s best films
The quality and caring really come thru these films. A wonderful place for people who "get it".
This woman’s passion and interest in cars makes me wanna cry, how perfect 👌🏼
My all-time favorite car. Lovely to see the owner so appreciative of her beautiful BMW 2002
Great film. And this lady is a great ambassador for classic cars!
Excellent story! Love seeing the BMW 2002 shown in such a cinematic style - well done!
I normally prefer keeping or restoring a car to stock, but I love the seats, steering wheel, shifter, and wheels that she put in this car. I really want a BMW 2002 now!
Beautifully done 2002! Maybe silly to single it out, but I love that steering wheel. I miss my 1972 2000 Touring - what a great road car in the mountains! If I had the roads in this film near me I'd never get out of the car. I love Lisa's passion for 2002's, and for this one especially. Good job all around. Thank you!
don't know why, but somehow i feel better about the world when a woman speaks about her enthusiasm for classic and performance cars...maybe its validating in some way? anyway, thx Lisa for restoring this beautiful 2002 and sharing the experience
one of the best 2002's i've seen so far. so clean
Love this women and her car and her love of driving! Excellent good for you.
duoble clutching and throttle blipping is a skill too which doesn't get teached in driving schools because you don't need it anymore, but it's much more fun is like driving a stick you just get used to it but it's also nice to know that you don't always HAVE to do it like you had when manuals weren't syncroniced yet.
It's just the most rewarding feeling when you downshift a gear and you get your blip just right so that your gearlever glides in the gear seamlessly without any resistance at all :D
Classy lady with a tastefully done 2002... excellent!!!
Her voice is comforting. She deserves a new BMW ///M2.
Love it... can’t believe you have had 3 2002’s. I’ve had 4 e30’s in total since my first day of driving, and I’m very motivated from your build!
Amazing! You guys inspire me. I’m also a budding car filmmaker.The lady...lisa you’re a sweetheart and what a job you’ve done on the E10 just amazing!!!
Thank you Lisa, for putting words to how it feels to drive a classic or vintage car :-)
What a marvelous little 2002. The color is perfect and the tasteful additions just make it perfect. Very nice. Thank you.
Great vid, great owner, great car. I owned a '72 2002 for 233k miles -- original unmodified engine (except for taking off the air pump). I love them. About this car -- I really appreciate keeping the car stock in it's appearance. But, please, Lisa, do yourself a favor and get a smaller, thicker steering wheel. It's a lot more fun. Secondly, in all these BMW 2002 vids, no one mentions the two things I loved most about them -- (1) the absolutely astonishing vision out of the "glass room." No blind spots. And (2) How well they take a corner. How they quickly "settle" into a groove and stick in the curve, giving you plenty of warning before losing grip. These cars were designed and built to go around corners. And believe me, there is no more fun than driving around corners fast in a car that has the perfect amount to oversteer.
BMW 2002 especially is a work of art
Hands down best channel on RUclips
If it hasn't been suggested before: ... time for a "Petrolicious Calendar" Lisa is nominated for May ...
Another great little film. Thank you.
I know how it feels to have a classic car, as an only car.
Taking it for the rides,
The attention they get.
The curiosity of the peoples and even cops.

the fact that she has owned 3... damn.
This is the first Petrolicious video I've stopped for. I appreciate that it's one of my favorite cars, that it's a woman who loves it, and is comfortable in her command of what she wants in it, her knowledge and that she LOVES to drive. I trained all 3 of my daughters to do basic maintenance on their cars, so that even if they didn't choose to do their own maintenance, so they would know when a mechanic was telling the truth or trying to BS them. They still thank me.
And my wife loves her '06 Mustang GT, also a 5-speed. Recently some wrench-er at the local Ford dealership where she brought it for service commented that he couldn't believe that a woman owned and enjoyed a 5-speed GT. Pretty odd to still find someone with that attitude in the San Jose Bay Area of CA. Not sure where he grew up , but we eventually could laugh about it.
Amazing! A friend of mine picked up his for 6.2k and runs/drives last month he's now finishing up the paint job.
Beautiful machine, only second to the E9 when it comes to 60s and 70s BMWs for me. And the 2002 paved the way for the 3-series and further models as BMW started to make their stand in the US.
As always, another petrolicous special moment
Great video, and i am absolutely loving that road this was shot on. Some great camera work there for sure!
Every word, and every camera shot, is why I subscribe to your video channel. Thank you.
That is the dream car of my childhood!!! From USA with love ❤️ 🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️
Thanks Lisa and Petrolicious for the excellent video.
A-mazing....period - Lady, Car, and Story. The title truly says it all "Tastefully"...and arguably...Lisa did it Perfectly. This story is by far the best one yet, and my favorite.
My dad's ex-business partner had one, same year but green.
Such a beautiful and atemporal car.
This is my favorite Petrolicious video ever I am telling the truth She brings such magic and style to this short film I can't really explain it in words Just wanted to let you know, later and have a good one
Great car, awesome sound. My friend’s dad owned an orange one during those years when I lived in Italy. He loved using his skill to shift gears without using the clutch.
Thanks for sharing your art piece Lisa
i had the sweetest 73 golf yellow 2002 from 80-87 anywhere!
lisa, l owned 3 bmw's in the seventies, a 1972 2002,1973 2002, and 1978 320i. my favorite was the round tailight 1972. it was silver blue and i still think about it today. it was the original " pocket rocket" and influenced all the sport coupes to this day. what was great about it was the perfect combination of light weight and power..it was also easy to service and trouble free, much like the early volvos. i truely loved that car, yours is a beauty and i totally understand how you feel about it. its a true classic. thank you for a great video!!!🚀😅
