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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

How fun can one of these cars be? A car with less power but superb handling? I’m just getting into cars. By the end of July I will have saved 25k and I will bus a fun car. But I honestly have no idea what way to go. My top 4 to look at are a Golf, WRX, Volvo C30 and an audi A3. I’m thinking spend 15k to buy it and use the rest on upgrades. Any car suggestions for me to look at?

@@javiersilva1577 My personal choice from your list, would be the WRX, as I've always fancied one. But for a first "medium performance" car a Golf GTi would be brilliant. I drove a stock Golf 1500 in the first year they came out and was amazed by it's performance! It was quicker than a 2ltr Ford Cortina! So a relatively recent Golf GTi will be big fun. And mods should be easily available. I also drove my old man's Golf Convertible GLI later on and it was quick! Good luck with whatever car you choose matey!

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

"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.

"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!!!

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

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

I can't get enough of this channel!

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 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.

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

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

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

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

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

Always coming back to this!!!

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.

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.

hey Phil, good chatting the other day...

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.

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

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

Love the passion =)

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

Nothing but love and respect 👍

My favorite auto channel on KZread

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.

Good job as always! 😎🇩🇪🚙

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.

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

Bravo Radu. Frumoasa masina...

"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.

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

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 KZread

Beautiful drawings, beautiful car.

Felicitari Radu!

Looks and sounds wonderful

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 !!!

Foarte tare ! Felicitari! RosuGalbenAlbastru

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!

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

4 minutes? Should be 14. Amazing 2002!

Felicitari si bravo tie !

I just sold mine 2 days ago :-(. Was a lovely car, had a blast, plans changed and I had to sell her. She went to a great home where shes getting an entire restoration, and its only 15 minutes away. Will still miss my 2002. :-(

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

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

always loved the 2002

I love it. You make your own.

Love the custom flared arches

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!

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

love this channel

love this car so much!

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!

Great that he created this vehicle the way he wanted it, non stock standard.

Never wondered. Cool film though! Great looking 2002.

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

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.

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