I drove the greatest BMW of all time, and it lived up to all of the hype - Business Insider
Today is the kind of day I moved to California for. Virgin blue skies overhead, a salty hint of the ocean pervades a full mile inland, and the fresh sunlight clashes against the chrome of my newly acquired vintage BMW. I’m enjoying this stereotypically beautiful day carving through mountain roads in my 1970 BMW 2002, and I want this moment to continue forever. As an offering to the sun gods, I blip the throttle and invoke all the spits and snarls of Vesuvius as I bear down on a blind mountain corner at a truly laughable rate. Some people believe that I have an addiction to this kind of speed—an insatiable defect that propels me to push a machine’s limits. I have the kind of brain that never stops churning. Pushing and pushing, I seek all this ancient BMW has to offer. Either I am going to win, or inertia is. The California mountain roads like Mulholland and Topanga are famous for a reason. Taking a vintage steed like this into the California canyons is one of life’s great pleasures. Here is where I become one with my machine. These old BMWs are more a visceral kind of machine.
