BMW 2002/1602 Touring ?

i was reading a "Motor" article from 20 years ago recently that suggested even in 1988 there was only a handful on the road. They do come up from time to time in varying states of decay, just gotta be patient!

Deeply cool cars.

I know where there's one of them. Think I may have pics of it somewhere on my computer (I'm on SWMBOs) at the mo, so I'll check later.

I had one for about a month earlier on this year. Lovely car, but the brakes were fubarred, and the dealer I bought it off failed to fix them, so I handed it back (BMW 1602/2002 brakes can get very expensive to fix, very quickly)

I test drove 2 others as well. They're out there, but they're all rotten. Have a look here:

I could have had this for £1500, and it's local to me. The rot in the rear air vents put me off - difficult to fix.

Never realised they existed, look very cool.

Isnt there something with these about the rear screen or side windows being completely unavailable anywhere?

close. infact its ALL the glass. its one inch taller than stock 02 and is specific to tourings. fuel tank is another perculiar fitment too. and they rust out.
lovely things tho, a guy used to come to my work in a cream one on black minilights.
if they have tailgate rot, you'll need to look into getting it fixed, replacements are not to be found.

worked on this one recently. it looks perfect. what you can't (and the owner can't) see is the gaping split of rot running down the a-post/bulkhead junction, where they rot behind the fusebox.
and they also try to gas you to death as the tailgate and light seals are rubbish. on choke you could probably bottle the raw fuel vapour that comes into the boot on over-run and the boot is smaller than the saloon.
still beautiful cars. have a gander round this guys site

Tourings do come up on ebay regularly, they are not as common as the saloons but fetch lower prices
when available as they are generally less sought after, It always pays to be a fan of the underdog.

I don't have many pictures of tourings but these saloons should dampen the right places,

I know of a very an e21 316 convertible......5 speed, original motorsport steering wheel, LSD and its sat rotting in a car pound in Cornwall...what a waste!!!
