BMW 2002: Time For Coffee?

A Petrolicious video on a BMW owned by a car designer. Not an X6, surprisingly enough...

Anybody disillusioned with the current BMW line up, of front-wheel drive MPVs and diesel crossovers, should spare a few minutes with their morning brew to watch this. It's a two-door, rear-wheel drive sports saloon, light and raw and with an emphasis on driver enjoyment. Not efficiency or ruddy configurability...

This stunning 2002 is owned by Radu Muntean, who is a car designer. Says a lot about how right the 2002 still looks 40 years later that a man who does it for a living loves the car's appearance. Muntean openly admits too that the car won't appeal to purists but the spec is pretty hard to argue with: M20 straight-six transplant, limited-slip diff, coilovers and so on. A car previously treated as a garage queen is now used much more regularly; good on you Radu!

The link between drawing and driving may seem a little tenuous but the rest of the video is spot on, as we've come to expect from Petrolicious. A car enthusiast with a great car talking about and driving his great car; take a look!
