+Stephen Silfies (Racer Freddy) Anyone here who gave up The Smoking Tire cuz it wasnt as good as /Tuned with Matt Farrah and just got an unexpected gift?
I like the car, save for two things: -I personally prefer the early 02's with circular rear lights. -The touch-screen is a no-go. If you have to have one, put it in the glovebox, or under some removeable cover.
Awesome Awesome Awesome. BMW has never been able to duplicate the 2002. It's such a fun car to drive. I learned how to drive a manual transmission, in a 1974 2002. In the summer of 1981. The original engine had been replaced with a newer engine. And that car was quick. Loved it.
Literally started laughing out loud when they got to the stereo. All this "period correct" awesomeness then the the stereo, lol. (Super rad that they're going to auction it for charity though.)
Being a restomod, I don't think I could've stopped with an M10. It just screams for an S14, but I definitely get the desire to keep the stock engine, and the crazy cost of an S14 now.
Whoa! Memories: I bot a 1972 2002 Tii from the Galles folks in Albuquerque, drove it to Miami without AC middle of summer in '85. The car was best at stoplights against unsuspecting GTI's and could take just about any hatch off the line with all of 140 horses. Put an ad in the car trader magazines and a guy from Dominica flew to Miami and gave me the same $4000 I'd paid for it 2 years earlier and took it out.
When he said he’d like to be in the South of France in the car, I get that, we took my little BMW convertible to the south of France this year and it was wonderful. It’s not a classic, but it was fun anyway and I expect it will be a classic someday, meanwhile we just enjoy it
My heart ached with pain at the end when they showed a touch screen and 10" subs. Rip all that modern audio out of the car and you've got something special. You don't need any music except what the engine makes on a beauty like that.
On the other hand, you'd be pretty happy to see them doing this video if you did have one. I'd do what the other guy said anyway, get an E21, they're half the value and a lot less well known. They're a bit more modern, still dead gorgeous looking and you'll be seen as having made the cool alternative choice, rather than the 2002 which everyone already wants.
My only complaint about the car is that they didn't build it on an older Roundie car (pre '74). Otherwise I'm so filled with envy of this car that I can't even.
Very nice coupe ! I have a 1976 unrestored. I have considered putting a X1 engine in it but I know that 200 HP in a 2000 lb car would require many mods. The X1 does have a 2 liter4 cylinder with twin cams and dual turbos.
Anybody here from the One Take on the Smoking Tire?
meee
+Stephen Silfies (Racer Freddy) Anyone here who gave up The Smoking Tire cuz it wasnt as good as /Tuned with Matt Farrah and just got an unexpected gift?
+Leofred Probably not that many ;)
That is honestly the most beautiful BMW I've ever laid eyes on, and I'm a self proclaimed enthusiast.
I like the car, save for two things:
-I personally prefer the early 02's with circular rear lights.
-The touch-screen is a no-go. If you have to have one, put it in the glovebox, or under some removeable cover.
Agreed!
This car is absolutely perfect in my opinion save those two things.
/TUNED is back! It's a good day :D
+Roads Untraveled and you didn't have to use your AK.
This BMW is gorgeous
This makes me miss drive
Beautiful work. I’m really impressed!
I love classic cars! What an Era!!
That single center exhaust is awesome
Thank you for bringing /TUNED back!!!! I've been wondering if theses days were behind us. So happy!
Adorable classic car - love the analogue era.
Ich hatte einen 2002er mit runden Heckleuchten , eines der schönsten Autos die ich je hatte ...
I miss my 3 versions of 2002's. Black, Garnet and Orange.. The start of the "Sports Sedan" craze!
how can they dislike this....
my dad had a 2002tii as his first car, amazing things.
So stoked that Tuned is back in action.
What a beauty! I had a 2002 tii so many years ago and wished it was here still
Beautiful thing.
Those wheels are incredible...
Another /TUNED episode is back? Finally
Man, I missed an honest Drive episode again. Thanks Matt!
Great video guys!
THIS JUST MADE MY DAY! Dream Retro car
cat looks flawless definitely a car worth buying good luck at the auction! and we need more tuned videos they come out really great!
Hey Matt. Both vids on this car was very enjoyable. Well done.
Oh man, that's a nice car! Great video!
Smoking tire and /TUNED review of the same car, back to back! So cool
Words can't describe that car. See you at Barrett Jackson auction.
Awesome Awesome Awesome. BMW has never been able to duplicate the 2002. It's such a fun car to drive. I learned how to drive a manual transmission, in a 1974 2002. In the summer of 1981. The original engine had been replaced with a newer engine. And that car was quick. Loved it.
The classics never die.
The bmw 2002 is such a nice car i love it!
Beautiful car!
Literally started laughing out loud when they got to the stereo. All this "period correct" awesomeness then the the stereo, lol. (Super rad that they're going to auction it for charity though.)
Great editing!
Tuned is back?! It's been years!
Nice job!
Being a restomod, I don't think I could've stopped with an M10. It just screams for an S14, but I definitely get the desire
to keep the stock engine, and the crazy cost of an S14 now.
This car looks delicious!
What an incredible car. So much taste in that set up. Stylish as fuck.
Finally ,Tuned Episodes!!!
Love this car!
The 2002 here is beautiful inside and out! The BBS really suit the car too.
Glad tuned is back
Love 2002's, this is such a clean build. Awesome how your going to auction it off as well and give the money to charity.
Very clean car...good job.
love it =D so gorgeous
another "TUNED" episode. Finally!!!
very NiCe cool

woooohooooo!!!!!!!!!! tuned is back!!!!!!!! great review matt!
If you don't love the 2002, then you don't love cars.
Fuck beautiful car....these things aren't too far off being in a museum.
This car is perfection. Would not call it a canyon carver, but definitely a swift canyon cruiser.
epic little car
TUNED!!!! Finally!!! Started getting tired of one takes
+Jamaican Stiggy Haven't we all.
I'm in love 🤩
What a cool little Beamer.
When he said he’d like to be in the South of France in the car, I get that, we took my little BMW convertible to the south of France this year and it was wonderful. It’s not a classic, but it was fun anyway and I expect it will be a classic someday, meanwhile we just enjoy it
Hermoso. 😎🤙🏻
Beautiful icon. Definitely on the bucket list...even more than the new M2!
Autophorie or you could put an s14 in one and have a real m2
I want one!
Oh my god, an actual review from Matt. The one takes have fallen stale.
Mis primeros autos como mecánico..BMW Panamá...
My heart ached with pain at the end when they showed a touch screen and 10" subs. Rip all that modern audio out of the car and you've got something special. You don't need any music except what the engine makes on a beauty like that.
I WOULD GIVE MY SOUL,TO HAVE MY 02 BACK...MY E30 IS NICE,BUT MY 02 WAS A BEAST!!...Awesome bimmer!!!
My favorite BMW
Wow, I haven't seen a 2002 in at least 10 years on German roads and here I see one driving around in the US. lol
Too much music, not enough engine sound...
They are very strong these Germans! It is prodigious! I had the same there is of it 30 years old and I regret having sold it.
Wow, A Shinola Blizzard. Nice. Not the usual watch someone would spend over a thousand dollars on but its still cool.
Great pieces! Some more info would be great though...most interesting in my opinion, are specs. Solid facts always hush the children... ;-D
please stop promoting these. they get fucking expensive and I haven't bought mine already
+Tankred Zrn hahahah it might be better to get a e21 then get yourself a nice m20 2.5 in there with efi and go nuts
On the other hand, you'd be pretty happy to see them doing this video if you did have one. I'd do what the other guy said anyway, get an E21, they're half the value and a lot less well known. They're a bit more modern, still dead gorgeous looking and you'll be seen as having made the cool alternative choice, rather than the 2002 which everyone already wants.
+Alfred Munkenbeck I like the classic shape, the e21 looks a bit like the current bmws. I have seen a 02 with m52 or m54 engine swap, that's my dream
Tankred Zrn Fair enough, the round tail lights are the one to have then, I've always wanted one of those!
+Tankred Zrn i wouldnt throw a m52 in a 2002 it gets to heavy to handle nicely
Best BMW ever!
I'd kill for this car!😊
Beautiful shot at 8:08.
I like the title making fun of Petrolicious
I'd do terrible things to own this car...Unforgivable things.
Haha exactly!
Tuned is back! What about Big Muscle?
i had a 74 great car !
A 76 2002 was my first car. Of the exact same color as this car
My only complaint about the car is that they didn't build it on an older Roundie car (pre '74). Otherwise I'm so filled with envy of this car that I can't even.
100% this.
Notificarion SQUAD!
Very nice coupe ! I have a 1976 unrestored. I have considered putting a X1 engine in it but I know that 200 HP in a 2000 lb car would require many mods. The X1 does have a 2 liter4 cylinder with twin cams and dual turbos.
Is that Thad's shoulder that shows up from time to time? Good to see Tuned back!
how did they work that air box w/ the webbers?
yes, very good car congratulation see you later
I'm so happy /Drive is back. Time Inc. better not screw this shit up!
cool piece. cool BMW. what is the name of that spicy little track playing at .21 and at the end? thank you kindly
Nostalgia is death of the mind. Put it in a car compactor where it belongs and walk away.
Nice b8
Go away troll.
I was going to comment on your trolling but recognized your name. You're one of the biggest fools on youtube.
beautyfull car, my aunt has one, cant waith till she agree to sell.
I'm happy to say I have a '73 2002 myself. One day... it won't have all that stereo stuff, that's silly. But everything else is awesome.
I want that car...
when are you guys uploading the big track car of the year thing?
tbh I don't really like that car, but I watched and liked the video anyways because your show is awesome.
Rob Reiner crushes it in BMW 2002!
omgggg /TUNED!!
/Tuned is back !!! :D
Thank you for not making us pay to watch this, honestly I haven't seen anything on drive since you guys started making us pay, I never payed
I like the 501 but this is cool
The m10 is the original 2jz, you know what was left on the table? A thousand horsepower.
