I've been collecting Hot Wheels, Matchbox and Johnny Lightning cars for years, and I've never come across my all-time favorite car in the world, the BMW 2002. As much as I love MINI Coopers (especially my own), a full sized, fully restored 2002 would be my ultimate dream ride.
I do own a few Diecast BMW 2002s, but in 1/18th scale. Those are rare and hard to find at a decent price. Plus, that scale is a bit big to collect very many. That's why the Hot Wheels model is perfect - it's small and bargain priced for any collector. That being said, I hope Hot Wheels follows it's typical production run of a new mold, where they produce a few different designs and colors. I'll have to keep an eye out for more iterations.

Hey, just found your sure after I just stumbled on the new 2002 Hotwheels. My three year old old is obsessed with "dinky's" and I used to to own a 73 2002tii. Finally a hot wheels. Check out Pixar's CARS2 sometime. I think John Lasseter was also 02 obsessed.
Hey Dick David. Just found your blog after stumbling on the new Hot Wheels 02. Cool toy. Finally HotWheels does it. I used to own a 73 2002tii, have a three year old obsessed with his "dinky's" and hope to own a mini soon. I have a 86 BMW now but my dream car is a 73 CSL. Cool blog.
Cool! Thanks for posting. The CSL's are awesome.
Found a 92 M3 Hotwheels today at WalMart. Didn't even know they existed. Also very cool.
