Pretty--I had one (not near as nice) and daily drove it for a few years between having a more modern drive.

drove my counsin’s ‘76 2002 - the purest driving experience I’ve had. Four forward gears, no A/C, the radio was an option. BMW should make a 2o2o ... just a 2 series without all the nonsense. Put in airbags and whatever safety equipment is mandated, and sell it for 25K. But would it work?

NEED. Current bid is $20,002. Guess someone is trying to be  cute.

I agree, but get outside the BMW box, what about a simple, small sports sedan on a slightly stretched Toyota 86 chassis? I think you could sell a few to guys and gals who want a simple, sporty ride, but want something that looks a little more conservative and has a little more room, also easier to justify to the SO, it s not a toy, it s a small, reliable, efficient sedan.

This is like the private school version of my car! Surely it will go for big money or not meet reserve.

I see that on BaT ... I don’t know if I’d say a LOT, because I don’t follow that many auctions closely. But chassis codes or model numbers showing up in the price is a thing, apparently.

Also, I very much want this too.

How close is that color to yours?

Also, yeah:

Mine was originally Jade green repainted Agave. Next to a factory example of Agave, mine is slightly more “blue”. When it’s time to repaint I’ll go back to Jade and make sure its official.
