tires and wheels Hello From Spain!

[Tony Brown]

Hi everybody, first i have to say sorry because my english ( i still not to speak english as well as i want), my name is Tony, and i write yo from Spain. Last April i bought my 72´ BMW 2002, I know it´s difficult to see you in a meet but I hope to share as well as receive information and good moments of this great community, in Spain is really difficult to find other BMW 02´s owners.

 

My 2002 concretly is USA spec, and i was lucky, because the seller was the first owner, he was a doctor in Miami, where bougth th car, and later he brought to Spain. The car never been restored, is in good condition, but i know 42 years are much, and i know i have much work ahead hehehe.

 

By the moment, i just instaled a coilovers kit from GAZ suspensions, and a BBS RM wheels from a friend, are provisionals, i want to install a BBS RS that i have, but inner lips scrape with springs, in the future i would like to install a BBS e50, but how we say in Spain " step by step" hahahah.

 

Now i let you some pics.

 

Thanks everybody, regards!

Welcome! It looks great.

Welcome to the community Tony, you came to the right place. Your car looks good. "Step by step" is the best way to do it, that is how I have been doing my car.

Beinvenidos a nuestra organizacion/fraternidad/sororidad!  Su Ingles is mejor que mi Espanol, so I'll continue in English...

 

Lots of expertise here, so don't hesitate to ask questions--and more than a few board members are fluent in Spanish, so if you run out of English, ask en Espanol (no tildes on my computer that I can find).

 

You may be able to fit those larger wheels by rolling your fenders--check archives on how to do that.  

 

cheers

Thanks Mike! i´ll take a look, but the really problem is inside space, my inner´ lips are too large and i have to use "wheel-spacers", there  isn´t a bad solution, but i don´t like to much wheel-spacers. I guess i´ll save some money for another kind if wheel (E50 for example). In test that i could do i saw the posibility to install 16" rims

Welcome Tony, Your English is just fine, awesome looking 02! 

[PaulTWinterton]

Nice European backdrop too.  Car fits beautifully into that scene.

 

Wouldn't it be fun to drive an 02 through old Europe!

[Tony Brown]

Sure Paul! but many times Old Europe´s roads aren´t better place to drive if you have coilovers in your car... hahahaha this pics were taken in Burgos ( North of Spain) concretly in a car meet called "Cold Days", it was a great weekend.

 

greetings

I was by Murcia two weeks ago going to Granada from Barcelona. Any old BMW is rare in Spain from what I could see.

Welcome Tony. There's quite many of us here from Europe too but we are pretty well spread around. 2002FAQ Europe meet would be nice thought but probably not a big success

Really rare, also there is an important "BMW e30 club" in my área. E10 are normaly driven by "old people" that aren´t in forums or something like this, it´s too difficult to "connect" with him.

 

P.D Granada is a lovely place! i hope you enjoy
