DANCING WITH THE STAR

Bavarian Econs Revives the Ultimate Driving Machine Bavarian Econs Revives the Ultimate Driving Machine

PHOTOS BY M VOGL, A PINZON, AND D NIKODEM

With Alpina-esque pig cheek flares, Kooglewerks air dam, and Michelin semi-slicks, the Econ 2002 is an awesome blend of classic aesthetics.

REVIVING the past while embracing the future is a delicate dance between nostalgia and innovation, and Bavarian Econs, based in Munich, Germany, has not only mastered it, but has also elevated it to an art form with its latest creation, the Econ 2002te.

Picture this: a sunny afternoon, a gentle breeze, and the unmistakable silhouette of a BMW 2002 gliding down the German backcountry toward the Bavarian Alps. It’s a sight to behold, a symbol of automotive history, and a promise of exhilarating drives. But what sets this 2002 apart is hidden beneath its vintage charm. It’s electric, of course!

The Birth of a Legend

The Econ 2002te is not just a car; it’s a testament to the passion and vision of its creators, Nicolas Navarro, Edgar Navarro, and Felipe Garcia. Born from a deep love for classic BMWs and a commitment to a more sustainable future, Bavarian Econs embarked on this remarkable journey to renew the legacy of these automotive jewels for generations to come.
