I think for a lot of us the 2002 (or even the 1600) ushered in the modern era of BMW design: a small, boxy, torquey coupe that was both a driver's car with great handling and also a practical daily driver.

Lucky you. It's a classic. Whenever I think of it, it's alway blue. You always can buy another one some day.

the e60 has a style and shape that is before it's time , aged can't come near to describing the cars look.

Was chatting to my neighbour the other day who'd thought that when I got my car in October it was brand new. He couldn't believe it yesterday when I told him it was 5 years old. I don't think the new one is going to be anything close to being as radical a difference as the e60 was to the e39. It's more of a Mercedes style change, gradual and small. Your average person on the street probably won't notice the difference at all.

Very well said... I love the 2002 and would love to own an orange one some day. That being said the E60 is my first BMW and for me its the most timeless BMW yet
Seeing that 2002 tii brings back such memories of BMWCCA events during the late 1970s. What a great car it was.
