      I think my late father preferred the old vent window/wind wings arrangement. By coincidence, we had a number of vehicles in the family with them - including my first car, a second-hand 1986 VW Mk 1 Wolfsburg Cabriolet. Ironically that also came equipped with A/C.

    I was an apprentice Mechanic in the late 70s and we serviced a lot of BMWs because my garage had been a BMW sub- dealer. BMs turned heads in the 70s - they were considered expensive. Probably difficult to understand if you're under 40 (some BMWs are expensive today but they don't have the cache of the 70s)

      globalism has completely ruined styling. All cars are now designed in wind tunnels and intended to be sold in global markets, so they all end up being the same egg shape.

    • @DSGNflorian
      @DSGNflorian 4 года назад +3

      @B Brunson Because "individualistic" styling doesn't sell. Conformism sells. Watch any automaker stick out their styling neck too much and a tsunami of derision and ridicule ensues, magnified a millionfold today by the broad-path flamethrower effect of social media, where the perpetrators are self-appointed but rarely qualified arbiters of good taste with a zero-tolerance policy towards the opinions of others. That scares off the majority of herd-mentality prospects who usually also seek to attain some measure of social validation with their purchase, leaving as customers for "individualistic" cars only the hardiest of non-conformists who not only don't care what other people think, but want to make a deliberate contrarian statement. Not enough of those folks around who also have money AND want to purchase. Black, silver or white SUV anyone?

    • @Ismalith
      @Ismalith 4 года назад +2

      @B Brunson
      At what speeds and how much power and weight do you move with the same mpg?
      Remember a car that hit 1,4 Tons in the 70s was massive overweight, the 2002 BMW weights about a ton and has 100 to 130 HP (excluding the turbo). The new BMW weighs about 1,5 to 1,7 tons and has 140 to 190 HP. And those HP are actually misleading, because the old BMW has 120 to 140 Nm of torque at about 3000 rpm while the new one has 220 Nm for the small one, over a range of 1500rpm to 4000 rpm and for the Diesel about 350 to 400 Nm at about 1700 to 2500 rpm.
      Also the new BMW is way wider.
      So keeping the same mpg as the old one would not be a bad achievement, but I am certain that the new one is better than you claim it to be. The gas consumption is listed with 11 Liter for the 2002 and for the new one 4,5 for the Diesel and 6l for the smaller Otto version while the big one is listed with 7l. So even if we assume that the gas consumption of the new ones is very optimistic I only see the biggest one to get over 9l, until you drive it fast. The smaller ones are probably realistically a bit lower than 7l per 100km. That is a difference of 20% for the biggest BMW 2 2020 and nearly 40% for the smaller gas version.
      So the BMW 2 2020 is bigger, a lot heavier, wider, faster, more powerful and still uses a lot less gas. I guess you easily can see that aerodynamic has a part in this.

I remember being very impressed because it had rear belts, also static which was almost unheard of in the U.K. at the time.

      Geoff Isabelle Maybe they were a cost option, I well remember the BL advertising proudly announcing that the entire 1976 model range were to be fitted with retractable belts prior to that they had been optional on all but the top models. They never retracted properly either. I love these old reports, reminds when there was still proper innovation in the motor industry and where manufacturers weren't scared to genuinely be different.

      US spec cars still were not required to have retractable seatbelts in 1972.....not sure when they were required,but thinking maybe 1974. Volvos had retractable ones front & rear in the early 70s,maybe even late 60s.

      Ah yes. BMW was a thinking persons choice and a car to be admired and desired, said a lot about the driver who chose one over the 'mainstream' exec's/sporty saloon of the day.
      They're still well made cars - but so are so many others.

    So beautifully dated. This (even the 1602) was an expensive car. BMWs were very rare back then, even in the Gin & Jag Stockbroker Belt. The '02 had srart d as a 1600 and grew to a 2-litre. This model was a last wave as it slipped over the horizon to prepare us for the E21, which began as a 1600 and a 2-litre.
    I recall at the time how the '02 seemed to date almost overnight after the E21 arrived. Values dipped and then plummeted. They didn't recover until "classic" status was bestowed.
    When new or newish, the '02 was a nice, comfortable, swift car. Even the 1600. A friend had a Touring, which I recall had a split folding rear seat and a nice carpeted load space. I do not remember seeing those touches in many other cars.
    A gem of a car and in its day quite a covetable gem.

    Parts are much more expensive than their British equivalent...and only need replacing a quarter the time as well. 😂 (I’ve had a 2002 and a Mini 1000, trust me I know)

    used to own one.... slow and very impractical. a polo has more room inside the passenger compartment. in addition to which it was a gas guzzler. too many disadvantages made it not worth while owning one for me. just mho.

    Less than two grand for a 1602 ! Nowadays that money would get you a 1602 that you would have to take home in a carrier bag and then reassemble with the other missing 99% of the car that you would have to obtain elsewhere

    Ahh. Good old 70's car reviews. Save on location costs by taking 'em up north to some deserted, windblown, post-industrial hell hole, and have a permanent sheepskin coat (he looks like he was sewn into it), and long hair to keep your ears warm. Afterwards you could sit with the film crew - who all had names like Colin, Stu and Rory - in their Bedord CF and share a nice thermos of Maxwell House instant coffee and smoke a few lung-busting Players No 6 while talking about football.
