1972 BMW 2002 - Racing this at Goodwood would be a dream ! *Hammer Time*

[@briangriffiths114]

In the late 70s, I was fortunate enough to be given a lift to work by a colleague who had a BMW 2002. Not sure which model, but the driver took it flat out across the Tay Road Bridge and reached 110 MPH within a mile before jamming the anchors on as we approached the toll booth queue. Love everything about these cars.

[@PetrolPed]

Cool 😎

[@brucebrown9604]

An ecstatic moment ! A well-tuned 2002 is a dream ! 😎

[@footey7670]

Ah Sir Ped the enjoyment is all over your face when you get into these special cars !!! It’s honestly what separates you from the rest 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦!!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks bud. That’s kind 👍

[@claudiushempstead9893]

It’s the one for me! It is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing it with your flock.

Cant believe Simon is no longer about. He was such a character. Great video Peter .👍

Very sad 😢

Stunningly beautiful rally inspired BMW 2002 for the pure analog drive experience. Thanks for sharing this piece of motoring history!

[@PetrolPed]

My pleasure 👍

[@ianbishop4576]

In the early 1970"s I had a friend who worked for a BMW dealership in Chiswick and his daily drive was a BMW 2002 Tii and we were always out in it what a machine amazing car for the times

[@davidpegg4516]

I love a 2002! If I had the money I would be bidding on that.

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@ppppoooooooopppppppp]

How lucky am I, bought a racing 2002 end of last year. It had been in storage since 2010 needed some work but my son and I are having so much fun with it now. Beautifully balanced. We will be keeping it for a while and working on getting some more power from it. We did 120 laps at lakeside (Australia) the other day and can't wipe the smile form my face

[@PetrolPed]

Cool 😎

[@willstillo72]

What a machine! My uncle had one similar back in the day, though no where near as sporty. Takes me back far too many years than i care to admit. Nice video, thanks for the trip down memory lane.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@dangreasley7934]

Brilliant Pedro, simply awesome and I am very very envious... :)

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Dan. Such fun 👍

[@automotivania]

My dad works on the same industry park in Milton and whenever we go to his work we always drive past the Market to see if anything interesting is outside. That thing is just next level interesting, what a car!

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers mate 👍

[@MrSoppysod]

Don't have the money and if I did and managed to buy it, would soon loose my licence but it was fun watching your video and sharing your excitement.

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers 👍

[@richardbrighton3381]

Not long after I passed my driving test (some years ago......), my dad took me out to buy my first car and I saw a BMW 2002 tii.......I fell in love, I had found my first car.......however, my dad did not share my enthusiasm and I ended up with an escort Mk2 1100......gutted!! :-) Great looking / sounding car and video!

[@PetrolPed]

That Escort would be mega cool now though 😜

[@mattjbelfield66]

Wow!!! What a machine and a glorious sound!! Your ear to ear smile said it all, no commentary required 😉😊 I really enjoyed that and it's spurred me on to get on with my race/rally Crab, although not in the same league, I hope I'll have the same kind of smile on my face. Well done Pete, keep them coming!!

[@Murtayafourfun]

Love this, what a cool car! Also the video itself is just so well put together. Have a great weekend mate!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks mate 👊

[@innervisionsOD1]

I just loved this whole video!! Your enthusiasm is something that I can totally relate to! I own a modified 1976 02 (motor built by Korman Autoworks here in North Carolina, US), and I drive it enthusiastically with that same grin of yours every time I get behind the wheel! Thanks for letting us experience this iconic car! I just subscribed and look forward to more of your content to grace my computer screen! Cheers!!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Perry 🙏🏻

I've seen you smile in cars before but there's a lot of them in this vlog! Top end sounds awesome I love the livery too!

Thanks Jeff 👍

[@dkendr6793]

Thanks for reminding me how old I am. My first Gran Prix were Germany ('Ring) and Watkins Glen in 1972. Anyway, this is a proper car. I can picture this up against a GTV. Thanks!

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

Wow 🤩 what a cool car! The 2002 bmw’s are definitely before my time but definitely appreciated by me. I love the look the sound and the fact it’s a race car! Great video Sir Pete! My goodness I could listen to the sound of this car for a while it sounds so good lol.

[@DjNikGnashers]

Oh man, you lucky lucky sod Pete, what a car.

See- these cars give you something a “euro box” will never come close to. Noise - Drama - Raised heartbeat - Feelgood factor. It’s an occasion, epic.

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@craigpeat8645]

I was lucky as an 18 year old I had 2300 magnum viva this is in 1982. My mates had some great cars triumph stag , capri 3.0 and RS 2000 escorts, but the stand out car for me was a friend with 2002 Tati in red. When most cars struggled to 100 mph, this was the Golf r of its day . Fond memories of my adult youth doing things you tell your kids not to do. One of my favourite cars of the late 70s early 80, that and a Datsun 240 z

[@PetrolPed]

Love this 👍

[@Tristanbirdyt]

Good morning ped Hope you are doing well I absolutely love your video they are great keep up great work

[@HQBProductions]

Peter…I recall these brand new and so admired a local lady doctor buying a brand new 2002 Tii in 1974…it was beyond “special” and supplied by Wild Goose Garages, Dursley. Just this week I saw a young man driving his original 2002 with a smile.. A car to buy just as it was 50 years ago. 😀😀😀Richard 😀😀😀😀

[@wordreet]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 Gahh!!!!!!!! I absolutely love it!!!!!!! I owned a basic 1600 one of these about 35 years back. It was sold off "relatively" cheaply because the rear springs were a bit shot. The car came with a tow bar, and I worked out that they had towed a horse box with it somewhat regularly. I knew how to wield a spanner, and replaced the rear springs, (after-market ones, not OEM)(£80 for a single coil was a bit OTT 35 yrs ago). I also bought after-market dampers. The McPherson struts were dismantleable and the new dampers just slid into the original leg tubes, brilliant! The 1600 wasn't all that quick, but the handling was next level sweetness!!!!!!

[@PetrolPed]

You like it then 😂

I have NEVER seen you smile so much while driving a Car....... I think I would be much the same..... It has Character and Style.... You could take the badges off and paint it pink, and every Petrol head would still know it is a 2002..... You cant say that about most modern cars.... :-)))))

[@PetrolPed]

Good point 👍

[@brynwj68]

Lovely car 😃and loved the filming

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 👍

[@BigCol78]

My father in law has a 2000 that he uses for track days it’s a bit more of a lump compared to the 2002 but it’s an absolute hoot to drive on the track. I can’t wait till the next track day where I’m able to drive it again. I’d love to have a go in a 2002 to see how both of the cars compare. Maybe if I’m a good boy someday I’ll get to have a go in one. Keep up the great content 👍🏻

Hi Ped Fabulous car, would love to have that in my garage. No I will admit I do not have the necessary talents to drive at Goodwood, but the sheer joy of driving this historic would suffice.😘

[@PetrolPed]

You’d have loved it 👍

[@HarryNicNicholas]

my first car was a ford anglia, not the upright one they drag race, but the saloon style "prefect" type, my dad gave it to me cos it was falling apart. we sold it though cos i was petrified about driving as a teenager. anyway, wind on 12 years to university and not only had my confidence levels gone up, but so had my income, even as freelance designer i got a full grant in the those days (1982) and i was pretty popular in the bar. but i could afford a car and i fell in love with a 73 2002 with the rocket engine rear lights. sad to say it spent more time being towed than under it's own power, and although i spent quite a lot of money on it, in the end i swapped it for an "arthur daley" series III jag.

[@MrGMawson2438]

I first drove a 2002 in 1982 , and yes by todays standards it’s not that quick but you can use all of it and thread the needle through the twists , great car of its time and that’s is a superb example. Now , where’s that spare 50k down the side of the sofa ? 😊

Forgot to add another friend who use to race carts had a Lancia delta volumex. Not heard of now but a very nice rot box in it’s day. Don’t really mis old cars the modern one are light and day a nicer drive without the maintenance

[@davehayes3863]

Another great car and video, I wonder if electric cars around now will have the same impact in 30 odd years time.

[@PetrolPed]

I doubt it 😬

[@steveburland624]

Very addictive sound from twin 45 Weber's 😜 that 2002 has provenance adding quite a bit to the sale price you need quite a substantial budget to go racing/running costs though.

Oh yes 😳

[@AdamForeman]

Btw, have you checked out "The Warthog Project" which is a dedicated A-10 Thunderbolt "Warthog" simulator? The reason I ask is that he built his own 270 degree projector screen himself with timber boards to create the curved wraparound screen and uses 3 projectors on the ceiling. Personally, I think this is a far better way to setup a sim racing rig instead of paying for 3 4K OLED TV's which aren't naturally curved which in my opinion slightly reduces the realism. The cost of projectors has dropped significantly enough to buy 3 good quality ones for the price of 1 4K TV. You uploaded a video with Motion Simulation's professional highend options, but this could be probably the best way if you don't have much money.

Can never understand why people leave the dealership stickers on the rear window, especially if the car turns out to be a minger. It's not as if the dealership put a sticker up on their shop window saying 'Steve's just bought a car from us and we think he's a fantastic guy'

Having watched this Im entirely convinced the host is a total nim-rod pimple twister. For instance when he mumbles about the exhaust & cleverly points out the removal of the x-can will undoubtedly result in increased noise..gee, he must know a bit about racing to understand that ! He should team up with the equally brilliant host at Girl in A Sweetshop, say, testing a Mini with a full on jet engine..maybe the world would be better off with a boy-girl orbiting bla-bla couple to engage a laugh or two for outer aliens.
