This and the orange 2002 are perfect

Frankly the best looking cars for were the late 60s early 70s box type car European and Japanese ones in particular. They have this simple yet elegant look to them. And they looked like the cars that you can own not some wild dream that is unachievable. It's like the girl you saw in that little black dress she may not have been as pretty as that supermodel you had a crush on in high school but you still fell in love with the girl in that little black dress

Felicitari , o masina superba!

My Dad had one of those.... We were the coolest people on the street.....

I like how he said "a whole lotta go fast bits" he proud of his wheels and what he made it into

From age 8 to 11 went to school in the back sit of 2002 1973 every day , still in love with it

People like Radu Munteanu make our country (Romania) proud ; i also study industrial design and architecture and hope one day i will be like him.

Very inspirational to see someone choose an old car, lightly mod it, and drive it every day no worries.. light simple RWD cars with short gearing is where it's at :D

i can't believe this guy is from the same country as me !! makes me proud when i see pleople are succesful

this guy is just oozing with swagger ! never seen a car match a person's personality as much as this! superfly!

i love this channel. Quality over quantity. it sucks to wait one week or two for a video but its better than having half ass videos everyday. great job! never ever stop.

Way back, I had the basic 1600cc version of this car. Just a 4 cylinder OHC engine, and it wasn't that slow due to being so light. But the best part was the handling, precise and delicate. It went where you pointed it and never misbehaved. A superb driver's car.

There is something about that body style with that wheel fitment that just clicks for me. Very similar to some of the older japanese cars I like, such as the old skyline, datsun 510, celica etc. The proportions are modest and balanced. I love it.

This man has absolutely exquisite taste. That's a thorough win.

With these cars I’m usually conflicted with liking or disliking these with fender flares -- box or round. It really depends on my mood. This however he really nails it. Perhaps it’s the color that makes it soooo...spot on. And as I’m writing this he speaks about it and sums it up perfectly as if he was reading my mind. I come back to this video time and time again since day one it whenever I need an ‘02 fix!

Gotta love the BMW 2002. That one´s got all the right bells and whistles on it! What a beauty!

Ma bucur sa aud de cate un Roman :) Salutare Radu

I can't get enough of this channel!

"I think the cars that take a while for you to fall in love with are a little more valuable to me" -Rada Muntean. True & Brilliant!

I have owned three of these in my life, and one of them was an old IMSA racecar, I completely understand the passion behind these cars. It's as comfortable as your favorite shoes, and as fulfilling as a spiritual experience. I believe when you reach that connection and passion, you truly achieve the oneness that drivers like Senna often reference.

I just bought a 1970 bmw 2002. I can't wait to start working on it

"Car's that take awhile to fall in love with" That PERFECTLY describes my love for my 73' laguna. It took me awhile to love but, now I'm obsessed!!!

What a gorgeous beast! And to know it lives and breathes fire instead of sitting asleep in some collection waiting to be sold to sit by the next collector. Bravo!

this video rings very true to me. I would love to read more details on his m20 and suspension setup.

Always coming back to this!!!

wow, I just found one of the few best channel for petrol-head on the site, nice video m8!

amazing illustrations, awesome car and great guy! Petrolicious never fails to deliver especially in the cinematography side!

I respect anyone that drives their dream car, rather than keeping it in a garage

felicitari pentru aceasta minunata bijuterie pe 4 roti....probabil cea mai frumoasa masina de la bmw .

I've loved 2002s since the 5th grade... I can't explain why. I just have. Gorgeous car, sir.

Really like the car and what has been done to it.. excellent. But.. I really loved the artwork he showed us. That was outstanding. WF

Bravo!! Toată stima pentru pasiunea asta

This episode is to short... :) Gongrats to Radu,I like when I see Romanians that are making a good living and have such passion. not only for cars.

one of the best videos from petrolicious

Another amazing video! Thank's Petrolicious

Another high quality video, thank you for making them :D

Sweet car, here's a true car designer with a passion for his car's.. I know me dad would agree, as he looks over my shoulder from his restful place above

I think its one of the best looking 2002's out there, subtly modified, great colour and wheels!

Ageles forest is minutes away from me! always a trip seeing your own canyons, not to mention willow springs!!

Looks and sounds wonderful

Absolutely beautiful presentation.

i got chills listening to that exhaust

Nice video had two 2002ti best drives so much memories respect from cape town

My favorite auto channel on KZfaq

Bravo Radu ,Rominii imprejurul lumii.LA fun car.

"The car only scream when you put your foot down on the pedal." I loved this because every time that I started my 02 and her her just purr, I knew that I beast waiting to be unleashed.

Yeah I always liked this model, I get what your doing with it and thanks for sharing. The driving is what its about even though its a car that over time you really do admire it looks and attitude.

As mush as I love cars in stock condition, I always love the car with modifications done right. Never modified my car but when I do bought modified car I tend to leave it that way.

Gorgeous. Great job!

I had an orange 1970 2002 when I lived in SoCal and I miss her more than I've ever missed any woman.

Bravo Radu. Frumoasa masina...

Nice car..... Awesome design style..... Congratulations

Hello Radu How nice you enjoy the older cars just like me ,I left Romania in the 80s and my dream was to by a BMW and now over 30+ i have a 1995 BMW M3 It is nice to c you on KZfaq

Nothing but love and respect 👍

Good job as always! 😎🇩🇪🚙

Love the passion =)

Beautiful car, and mesmerising art, what a wonderful combination.

Just building my own round tail light 1602, as a replacement for my E30 M3 (also featured in a Petrolicious video!), so it just had to be a 16V four cylinder on individual throttle bodies, standalone ECU, coilover suspension, LSD etc. Basically I wanted the classy look of an early 02 with the kind of performance I had in the M3. Builds like this video inspire me. I love the arch kit and colour choice too!

Goddamn i'm jealous of this dude, gets to enjoy his work and own a beautiful old BMW 2002. That old girl has to be my favorite of all of BMW's models, what i would give to drive one let alone own one. Keep up the great videos guys, its a very long and boring week without them

Love the custom flared arches

In my opinion, small cars with short gear ratios are easily the most fun. Alfa Romeo Giulia and stuff like that. Love it.

Nice 2002... My English teacher back in high-school drove one. Mr. Sanchini kicked ass

love this car so much!

what an amazing channel that is....love it :)

My favorite car ever. The M3 was faster but the (16) 02 was more fun, and great on dirt roads. Even with an open diff (although I added rear vw turning brakes to help switch drivesides when needed). Ive had mine in places youd never imagine. I lived 10 mi. past the pavement, and the jeep was so hoppy and rocky it just couldnt go fast, not to mention the low alternator would often get me stranded in the puddles (4-6' deep). The 02 though, independent suspension, 4:11 rear, floats like a vw bug, and so light it doesnt beat itself to pieces on the bumps. Ive had dirtbikes wave me past. Id catch air in 3rd gear. I had a new engine trans etc i wanted to swap, but the original gear is absolutely die hard. I got to be that way with it just like he says in the video about the chips. My carwash, was tight tunnels of brush scraping all sides. it takes most of the mud off and F the scratches, it wants to be driven. If you have engine issues, desmog it. Great car for climbing the paved twisty road up the hill, just as good in the dirt once up the hill. I also used to tell people "its not fast, its quick" Low top speed, but it jumps right to normal speeds. After an optical ignition upgrade, it would hold 6.5 k on the freeway all day if I wanted. Sometimes Id get the "special" spare tires from the junkyard and burn them off drifting private lots in town. The rounded tread and harder rubber makes it handle like you have another hundred horses.

Felicitari Radu!

@Petrolicious you guys do not make videos about cars, you make art about cars. I am not into cars, but boy do I love your videos!

Beautiful drawings, beautiful car.

love this channel

Posters have praised the design of cars of this era, not many have mentioned that more than a few were influenced by the original Chevrolet Corvair, there are countless manufacturers that followed the trend, amongst them Hillman, NSU, Opel, BMW, even VW, just do a search of 70s carsband you’ll find many others. That BMW 2002 is a lovely thing, my German brother in law had one in the day, the fuel evaporated due to the super hot conditions going up the mountains and on the way down the brakes boiled on a fast Alpine trip in the summer of 1976, Not a problem, we hung about on the terrace of a great little Italian bar and enjoyed the view with a cold beer while they cooled.

I watch this video almost everyday. Petrolicious give us some more 02 content !!!

Felicitari si bravo tie !

What a fantastic car,understated but great looking.

Very nice and such a wonderful place to enjoy it. Long live SoCal's canyon runs.

I agree with him on one thing most -- the cars that take time to fall in love with are the best ones. This is the reason why I like the Fiesta ST and the Veloster T so much...it took me a while to appreciate the cars for what they are and their styling cues.

boy you rased in me lots of memories, each time i drive by your old house at the begineing of the "Clinicilor" str I think o you. if we wouldn't be BMW nuts maybe i would never stumbled on you. Emil

Love those fenders

Good looking car, nice, useful and clean. This guy has good taste.

What a marvelous car.

Reminded me how much I miss my '75 2002, and the Southern California canyon roads.

"Rain or Shine" Awesome!

I used to work for a BMW repair place and we had a guy bring in this beautiful white 2002 alpina that needed tuning it took us 3-4 days to tune it perfectly. It was still a lot of fun to work on.

Great episode. And his artwork is beautiful...and best of all, car- related. No need to take the audience flying in a glider.

4 minutes? Should be 14. Amazing 2002!

nice ride enjoy it.

I love it. You make your own.

beautiful

I like the Trabant model on his desk.

gorgeous

All the best Pampa. You could not have had a better schooling for the rest of your life. Live by those rules and you will be happy in life. Best to you !!!

Never wondered. Cool film though! Great looking 2002.

I have a 68' 2002 and this video convinced me to do a M20 swap. I don't think i'll do the AC shznitzer body kit, but everything else i'm doing for sure!

Hey Radu,This is Phil , Richard's neighbor with the old Ducati this pass weekend.. It was good talking with you and see someone sharing same enjoyments with cars and art. Hope to run into you when you're up ACH one day in vintage rally cars.

Foarte tare ! Felicitari! RosuGalbenAlbastru

This 2002 is just the perfect build! I thought that the M20 might be a bit to big and heavy?... From some perspectives it looks that the left side of the car is a bit higher and that the grill is not symmetrical. But still one of the most beautiful 02s out there!

Raw, basic, loud .. exactly what we all need in life

Very nice and I also believe that previous era cars are much more stylist. It seemed to be more heart felt as apposed to today's regulatory requirements or coping some one else's design.

always loved the 2002

I'm drooling over the exhaust. Want something like that on mine...although that is probably more of a general upgrade mechanically than anything I could do with stock.

In sfarsit un roman. Respect from an e21 BMW Romanian owner!
