Slowly but surely, the Youngtimer series is beingCarrera expanded. Following Opel, Ford, and Volkswagen
,
Carrera the BMW 2002 is now hitting the track. And to be honest, I’m not entirely happy with the styling. The basic body shape is very well executed, but in my opinion, the wheel arches on the fender flares should be much rounder.
There’s nothing to criticize about the designs, however: the Warsteiner look is classic, very well-known, and yet uncharted territory forCarrera . The white tuner version with the Castrol look offers an appealing contrast. Instead of the blond young man, though, a driver figure wearing a racing helmet would look better.
Technology:
The chassis utilizes familiar components. The total weight is a pleasingly low 92 grams. The front wheels are individually suspended, and the proven E200 motor is used for propulsion. The digital versions feature lighting, which is very well implemented. No significant stray light escapes sideways, either at the front or the rear.
Test Drive:
With all magnets in place, the usual performance emerges: The BMW stays securely on track at all times,
and the relatively small wheel diameter enables good acceleration and braking performance.
Removing the rear magnet results in a noticeably wider operating range. The tires offer good grip; neither their narrow dimensions nor the narrow track width have a negative impact. In this configuration, the BMW is also nearly impossible to throw off course, but it is significantly more forgiving of minor driving errors. K1 tracks can be navigated safely and quickly.
Without magnets, the narrow track width becomes a noticeable drawback, and the tendency to tip over increases. Trim weights are recommended for this setup, though the chassis offers very little free space for them.
Conclusion:
I had hoped for more in terms of styling, but to make up for it, there are three extremely attractive designs—Warsteiner, Castrol, and Martini—right from the start. The handling is impeccable. However, as a tall and comparatively narrow vehicle, the BMW isn’t exactly a lap-time killer.
