In between a 2002 & a Euro 323i, I had a little 320is....fun car that's actually easy to work on & for which there are lots of ways to modify & improve right out of junk yard parts finds.

I purchased a new 318i in 1983, the first year they were introduced here. Put 86,000 miles on it, never a single problemo. Loved that car.
I've been watching 2002s and similar BMWs on eBay recently in my "favorite searches" bin. Prices are very attractive. The pundits say the 2002tii's are the most "collectable" right now. But I like practically all of them from 1966-1988!
Sills rust on the 2002s. If a 2002 doesn't have restored sills, there's a good chance the sills are rusted/buggered. Parts availability and aftermarket support are very strong for these cars.
I'd get one, but then all my LBC buddies probably wouldn't talk to me anymore??
Great cars + BMW reliability. I imagine prices will rise in the near future.

Once did an engine swap in a "greenhouse" ti, not so many years ago. Four, IIRC. We got a "crate engine" from a local dealership, the thing was sweet. Less overall expense for the owner and a very smooth job for me. BMW still supply 'em, it just makes sense unless it's a DIY rebuild. Even then, I would consider one.
I like the "twenty-oh-twos". Not so much the later 3-series cars. They seemed a bit more "cheezy" somehow. More plastic than I care for, I guess.

I agree with Doc on the plastic thing. I installed stereos into about 3 BMW 325's and we started calling them the snap together cars.
