Slowly but surely, the Youngtimer series is beingCarrera expanded at
. After Opel, Ford, and Volkswagen, 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 wells on the fender flares should be significantly rounder.
There’s nothing to criticize about the designs, however: the Warsteiner look is classic, very well-known, and yet still 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 suspension uses familiar components. The total weight is a pleasingly low 92 grams. The front wheels are independently suspended, and the proven E200 motor powers the car. The digital versions feature lighting, which is very well implemented. No significant stray light escapes to the sides, either at the front or the rear.
Test drive:
With a full set of magnets, the result is the familiar performance: The BMW stays securely in its lane at all times, and the relatively small wheel diameter enables good acceleration and braking performance.
Removing the rear magnet results in a noticeably wider margin of error. 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 virtually impossible to throw off course, but it is significantly more forgiving of minor driving errors. K1 sections can be navigated safely and quickly.
Without magnets, however, 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 would have hoped for more in terms of styling, but to make up for it, there are three extremely attractive designs right from the start: Warsteiner, Castrol, and Martini. The handling is impeccable. However, as a tall and comparatively narrow vehicle, the BMW isn’t exactly a track-record breaker.
