Old BMWs are beautiful machines that deserve being driven and enjoyed, and this restomodded 2002 is a prime example of the above.

Owned by car designer Radu Muntean, this 1971 BMW 2002 is no garage queen as its keeper regularly takes it for some spirited driving, allowing the upgraded straight-six M20 engine to clear its throat and help the nimble Bavarian coupe carve corners faster.

Petrolicious portrays this beautifully-made BMW 2002 and the passion Muntean has for European cars of the ‘70s. “I’m in love with the European cars of that era, the cars that look a bit more common. I think cars that take a while for you to fall in love with are a little more valuable to me”, says the happy owner.
