This BMW 2002 Is Driven Aggressively By A Car Designer

i love this channel. Quality over quantity. it sucks to wait one week or two for a video but its better than having half ass videos everyday. great job! never ever stop.

[@ahmedshamsi9737]

Frankly the best looking cars for were the late 60s early 70s box type car European and Japanese ones in particular. They have this simple yet elegant look to them. And they looked like the cars that you can own not some wild dream that is unachievable. It's like the girl you saw in that little black dress she may not have been as pretty as that supermodel you had a crush on in high school but you still fell in love with the girl in that little black dress

[@henrykincaid6821]

I know what you mean, my favourites are the Alfa Romeo giulia sprint and the Nissan skyline 2000gtr

[@TheWatzitooya]

+ahmed shamsi I dunno. Late 60s Muscle Cars are really pretty. Not quite as obtainable now, but they were at one point in time.

[@MaliciousSRT]

+ahmed shamsi I love the old Gulias and 2002's - but the "best" designed cars of the late 60's and early 70's? Nope...71 Cuda, 70 Chevelle, 69 Mustang...I could be here all day. Detroit owned it back then.

[@AnthonySchnitzel]

+Malicious SRT Yeah, but that's "US guy" point of view, there's basically no muscle cars in the rest of the world...

[@MaliciousSRT]

Tony Schnitzel Location has no bearing on design, kiddo.

My Dad had one of those.... We were the coolest people on the street.....

[@wordreet]

Way back, I had the basic 1600cc version of this car. Just a 4 cylinder OHC engine, and it wasn't that slow due to being so light. But the best part was the handling, precise and delicate. It went where you pointed it and never misbehaved. A superb driver's car.

[@javiersilva1577]

How fun can one of these cars be? A car with less power but superb handling? I’m just getting into cars. By the end of July I will have saved 25k and I will bus a fun car. But I honestly have no idea what way to go. My top 4 to look at are a Golf, WRX, Volvo C30 and an audi A3. I’m thinking spend 15k to buy it and use the rest on upgrades. Any car suggestions for me to look at?

[@wordreet]

@@javiersilva1577 My personal choice from your list, would be the WRX, as I've always fancied one. But for a first "medium performance" car a Golf GTi would be brilliant. I drove a stock Golf 1500 in the first year they came out and was amazed by it's performance! It was quicker than a 2ltr Ford Cortina! So a relatively recent Golf GTi will be big fun. And mods should be easily available. I also drove my old man's Golf Convertible GLI later on and it was quick! Good luck with whatever car you choose matey!

[@javiersilva1577]

@@wordreet Top 2 choices are Golf R and WRX. I live in Colorado so I need AWD. I’ve read WRX has a slight performance edge, but Golf is better overall. Thanks for the advice.

[@FroztiProductions]

There is something about that body style with that wheel fitment that just clicks for me. Very similar to some of the older japanese cars I like, such as the old skyline, datsun 510, celica etc. The proportions are modest and balanced. I love it.

[@dre32pitt]

couldnt agree more

[@greeklord293]

FroztiProductions it's called Japanese cars copy euro car designs

[@seanm996]

Very inspirational to see someone choose an old car, lightly mod it, and drive it every day no worries.. light simple RWD cars with short gearing is where it's at :D

[@Zero_Ninety]

+Rick James Lightly mod it? A new engine is not a light mod...

[@arjunmanohar8115]

this guy is just oozing with swagger ! never seen a car match a person's personality as much as this! superfly!

[@McVerne]

Gotta love the BMW 2002. That one´s got all the right bells and whistles on it! What a beauty!

[@codygrayland]

+Jules Verne My first BMW was a 1971 2002, made some mods, had much fun. Great car!

[@AliasHSW]

With these cars I’m usually conflicted with liking or disliking these with fender flares -- box or round. It really depends on my mood. This however he really nails it. Perhaps it’s the color that makes it soooo...spot on. And as I’m writing this he speaks about it and sums it up perfectly as if he was reading my mind. I come back to this video time and time again since day one it whenever I need an ‘02 fix!

[@oviatasimplapepamant]

Ma bucur sa aud de cate un Roman :) Salutare Radu

[@CentTxLiving]

I have owned three of these in my life, and one of them was an old IMSA racecar, I completely understand the passion behind these cars. It's as comfortable as your favorite shoes, and as fulfilling as a spiritual experience. I believe when you reach that connection and passion, you truly achieve the oneness that drivers like Senna often reference.

[@Pandadancypant]

I like how he said "a whole lotta go fast bits" he proud of his wheels and what he made it into

Hey Radu,This is Phil , Richard's neighbor with the old Ducati this pass weekend.. It was good talking with you and see someone sharing same enjoyments with cars and art. Hope to run into you when you're up ACH one day in vintage rally cars.

i got chills listening to that exhaust

[@benkadavilalexander9207]

one of the best videos from petrolicious

[@tbrew8222]

My favorite car ever. The M3 was faster but the (16) 02 was more fun, and great on dirt roads. Even with an open diff (although I added rear vw turning brakes to help switch drivesides when needed). Ive had mine in places youd never imagine. I lived 10 mi. past the pavement, and the jeep was so hoppy and rocky it just couldnt go fast, not to mention the low alternator would often get me stranded in the puddles (4-6' deep). The 02 though, independent suspension, 4:11 rear, floats like a vw bug, and so light it doesnt beat itself to pieces on the bumps. Ive had dirtbikes wave me past. Id catch air in 3rd gear. I had a new engine trans etc i wanted to swap, but the original gear is absolutely die hard. I got to be that way with it just like he says in the video about the chips. My carwash, was tight tunnels of brush scraping all sides. it takes most of the mud off and F the scratches, it wants to be driven. If you have engine issues, desmog it. Great car for climbing the paved twisty road up the hill, just as good in the dirt once up the hill. I also used to tell people "its not fast, its quick" Low top speed, but it jumps right to normal speeds. After an optical ignition upgrade, it would hold 6.5 k on the freeway all day if I wanted. Sometimes Id get the "special" spare tires from the junkyard and burn them off drifting private lots in town. The rounded tread and harder rubber makes it handle like you have another hundred horses.

[@GabrielBrumaru]

Bravo Radu. Frumoasa masina...

[@ar_pe4012]

This 2002 is just the perfect build! I thought that the M20 might be a bit to big and heavy?... From some perspectives it looks that the left side of the car is a bit higher and that the grill is not symmetrical. But still one of the most beautiful 02s out there!

[@Billbothebear14]

Really like the car and what has been done to it.. excellent. But.. I really loved the artwork he showed us. That was outstanding. WF

[@meradu2]

Hello Radu How nice you enjoy the older cars just like me ,I left Romania in the 80s and my dream was to by a BMW and now over 30+ i have a 1995 BMW M3 It is nice to c you on KZbin

[@JerryC25]

My favorite auto channel on KZbin

[@blxtothis]

Posters have praised the design of cars of this era, not many have mentioned that more than a few were influenced by the original Chevrolet Corvair, there are countless manufacturers that followed the trend, amongst them Hillman, NSU, Opel, BMW, even VW, just do a search of 70s carsband you’ll find many others. That BMW 2002 is a lovely thing, my German brother in law had one in the day, the fuel evaporated due to the super hot conditions going up the mountains and on the way down the brakes boiled on a fast Alpine trip in the summer of 1976, Not a problem, we hung about on the terrace of a great little Italian bar and enjoyed the view with a cold beer while they cooled.

[@glennd81]

Absolutely beautiful presentation.

[@aphex14]

Always coming back to this!!!

[@jessgarcia4100]

I have a 68' 2002 and this video convinced me to do a M20 swap. I don't think i'll do the AC shznitzer body kit, but everything else i'm doing for sure!

[@Lopescadprojetos]

Good looking car, nice, useful and clean. This guy has good taste.

[@Beanjuice]

I agree with him on one thing most -- the cars that take time to fall in love with are the best ones. This is the reason why I like the Fiesta ST and the Veloster T so much...it took me a while to appreciate the cars for what they are and their styling cues.

[@radneverp]

Reminded me how much I miss my '75 2002, and the Southern California canyon roads.

[@Retrobeemer]

Just building my own round tail light 1602, as a replacement for my E30 M3 (also featured in a Petrolicious video!), so it just had to be a 16V four cylinder on individual throttle bodies, standalone ECU, coilover suspension, LSD etc. Basically I wanted the classy look of an early 02 with the kind of performance I had in the M3. Builds like this video inspire me. I love the arch kit and colour choice too!

[@JohnJSteinbeck]

Beautiful car, and mesmerising art, what a wonderful combination.

[@Advection357]

Nice 2002... My English teacher back in high-school drove one. Mr. Sanchini kicked ass

[@FreePalestine1173]

I used to work for a BMW repair place and we had a guy bring in this beautiful white 2002 alpina that needed tuning it took us 3-4 days to tune it perfectly. It was still a lot of fun to work on.

[@edumira2]

Another amazing video! Thank's Petrolicious

[@TheDuckumz]

Goddamn i'm jealous of this dude, gets to enjoy his work and own a beautiful old BMW 2002. That old girl has to be my favorite of all of BMW's models, what i would give to drive one let alone own one. Keep up the great videos guys, its a very long and boring week without them

[@fporro]

Very nice and such a wonderful place to enjoy it. Long live SoCal's canyon runs.

[@DustindeSouza]

Love the custom flared arches

[@jameslovering9158]

Yeah I always liked this model, I get what your doing with it and thanks for sharing. The driving is what its about even though its a car that over time you really do admire it looks and attitude.

[@shanewarburton81]

Looks and sounds wonderful

[@gamwpanagia]

What a marvelous car.

[@HyadumHH]

Felicitari Radu!

[@aserta]

He's not wrong, a car you have to think why you love, a car that compels you to accept that you've fallen in love with, over time, is far better than a car that struck you as stunning instantly. On a side note, that age was perfect for cars. All across the world examples that are staple for the car passionate popped out and still amaze us to this day.
