Is it fun? Is the Earth a flattened sphere? Of course it’s fun when you combine a featherweight Neue Klasse with 200 HP of screaming Bavarian power. More »

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. I've been passing this car by for a few months, because I mistook it for this 2002Tii. More »

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. I believe Alameda has more 2002s than E21s. More »

What's the best-performing LeMons BMW? The E30 does all right, but the lighter, simpler 2002 is a better bet if you want to keep racing all weekend. More »

Many, many readers were all in a tizzy after they saw the LeMons Team Shirt-stravaganza last weekend, because they needed to obtain a Team JDL BMW team T-shirt. Well, now you can- just in time for Hanukkah shopping! More »

Just yards away from the now-much-picked-over junked Volvo Amazon, I stumbled across this incredible trifecta of junkyardy goodness at my local self-service yard. Three cars that each deserve the full Jalopnik Stamp-O-Approval™! More »

Sometimes the world is cruel in ways we don't understand, like this senseless instance of smash-em-up wherein an elderly driver somehow backed into and onto a lovely BMW 2002, resulting in a seriously goofy accident scene. More »

It's been 18 months since our last BMW Engine Of The Day, so we're definitely overdue. Here's the SOHC four-cylinder that powered more than 3.5 million Bavarian machines during its 27-year production run: the M10. More »

Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. BMW 2002s are plentiful on the island (we've seen a beater '72, a '73 2002Tii, and a massive-bumpered slushbox '75 so far), though technically this one isn't on the island. I've ventured over to Bay Farm Island (which was once literally an island but is now attached to the mainland at the Oakland Airport, just as the island part of Alameda was once a peninsula), which is part of Alameda but lacks sufficient garage-less housing to make for happy DOTS hunting. However, it's still possible to find interesting machinery where Jack London once went oyster pirating, and I've found this clean round-taillight 2002 there.

This is Down On The Street Bonus Edition, where we check out interesting street-parked cars located in places other than Island That Rust Forgot. I've got quite the stockpile of photographs from Denver, thanks to Kitt, EJacobs, and my own bimonthly visits to the Mile High City. Today we're going to have another 3-Fer-1 Colorado-palooza, with one BMW from each of us! More »

We were all quite sad when we learned that the Cermak Plaza Shopping Center overlords had decided to remove the legendary Berwyn Car Spindle from their property. But now the Berwyn Spindle may be relocated... to your front yard! Yes, it's up for sale on eBay, with a starting bid of $50,000 (and a shipping cost of double that, so you'll probably elect to go pick it up yourself. Make the jump for some video of the Spindle.

If someone told you their modded BMW 2002 had a secret weapon, you'd likely guess they meant that it was packing some heat under the hood. Perhaps a big turbo, or maybe an S14 engine swap. But that's not the case here—this BMW's secret weapon is a loaded handgun in a secret compartment. Regardless of how you feel about carrying a gun in your car, you've gotta admit that the combination of classic Bavarian, a custom body kit, and a loaded pistol is a bit unusual. Although, it might just make for the perfect two-car garage occupant, parked next to the BMW M1 owned by the former PM of Qatar. Of course, we're not Gun-lopnik. So if you'd like to help ID the gun, just shoot us submit a comment. More »

You can't escape BMW Week, you can only hope to contain it. When people ask me if I liked living in San Francisco I say, "No." When pressed, I will admit that I miss the burritos (El Farolito and Cancun FTW!). When pressed even more, I'll cop to loving that there were more BMW 2002s on the streets than there were krusty, homeless, single-issue, performance artists. Kidding on that last bit, but there were an awful lot of two ought-ought twos to be ogled. No big surprise that when I walked out to get my morning... whatever it is I get on Saturdays, I was STOKED to see this gray-skinned beauty. Even better, she belongs to my neighbor and he let me open her up and shoot away. It's a project car that he doesn't have time for (his insanely great sounding, blue-printed 1966 Mustang 289 is quite demanding) so he's had the little Bimmer in storage for the last few years.
