Old's Cool!
Welcome to OldSchoolBMW.com. a celebration of the legendary BMW '02
series, an automotive icon.
Built from 1966 until 1976, more than 820,000 cars were built worldwide.
Today, from garage queens to daily drivers, they are cherished by their
owners. We're here to help keep the '02 driving experience of the
60s and 70s alive and well, with factory parts and vintage-correct
accessories.
So, hop in , strap yourself into the bucket seat, crank
back the sunroof and stuff that Iron Butterfly tape into the
cassette player. We're going' for a RIDE!
What you'll find here is how to keep your car looking and performing
just like it did back in the day. Old School BMW will be devoted to
factory-original equipment and vintage-correct accessory
items. In the 1970s when these cars were new, magazines like Road &
Track and Car and Driver had advertisements from mail order
firms like "Vilem B. Hahn" and "MG Mitten". Both companies are
long gone, but the accessories: car covers, floor mats, driving lights,
string-back gloves, and dual-tone horns are still in demand. Many of
these add-ons are still available, but are difficult to find.
