This book teaches the basics and history of the 2002:
I just finished this book and I am very pleased with it. I purchased this book from Amazon hoping to learn the history, year by year details, availibility, and possible modifications of the BMW 2002.

Great book!:

Some of the pictures and English terminology were not very clear to me. If you're interested in buying a 2002 it is a good book... more info
