Bay Area 02 Swap & Show 2004
JP Collins
All were in high spirits on Saturday May, 15th 2004 for the Bay Area 02 Swap & Show 4. Great weather, great cars and great enthusiasm were all present and accounted for. Although the count was slightly down from last year, the quality of the show this year was higher than ever. Once again several (5) examples of the rare 2002 Turbo were on hand as were Alpina 02s and Coupes.
Although plenty of show-quality cars were on display so were the many daily drivers brought in by their proud owners. From the highly modified and customized to the very original and very stock examples of the 2002 series were on hand to demonstrate the wealth of vintage bimmers in the Bay Area.

The focus of the Swap & Show every year is the BMW 2002, but the show is also open to the other models BMW built between 1965 and 1976. In this fourth year of the Swap & Show more non-02 cars showed up than previous years including: 3.0 coupes 2000TIs, 3.0 S and other rare vintage BMWs. Along with the cars on display, dealers of both new and used parts displayed their wares.

We look forward to next year for Swap & Show 5 and hope that we inspired other 02 owners who didn't show this year to bring their cars out to the lawn for the next year. Until then, see you on the road!
