I have an E34, but I am thinking to buy a 1668 BMW 2002. And, I would like to know if anybody in this forum knows any good web site on this model. I need to know where I can get parts for this car, and what should I need to know before I buy this car.;)

I'd say, stick with the BMWs only from the last century. eBay still has parts for everything and tons for the 2002s. A guy one block from where I work drives a 2002 to work everyday, in Michigan. I don't go to his place very often but I'll watch this thread and if you don't get any good leads, I'll walk down there and ask him.

Why do you say that? This model has fully independent suspension, perfect weight distribution and voice-activated navigation:

I would say Go Ahead!!, but get one from the 1900's..anyway try this site they have a bunch of info on the 02's (personal pages with tips, links to parts etc), I own a 1976 2002 that I am still restoring, they are very easy cars to work on (very straightforward) and fun to drive..As far as parts go..there are still parts to go around, I have some spare stuf if you would need it...

well, hope you join the club......

The '02 is a classic but can be a rust monster. There's a good book ( I just sold mine), about 2002 restoration which has a lot of good info on buying. Jaymic in the UK remanufactures body panels (as does BMW!!!). get it checked out by someone in the know and go for it! They're a great little car and a real head turner. The round taillight ones are the way to go.

Thank you for you advice, and I am going to buy it. And, yes it round tail lights this one.
