Today, both the 2002 and 510 boast fanatical owner groups, and values for both cars are on the rise. Ironically, it's the 510 that often commands a bit more money in the classic-car market, largely because the Datsun's lower initial price led to it falling into the hands of less careful owners, thus restricting supply. 2002 Vs Datsun 510 By Nicad, March 7, 2013 in BMW 2002 and other '02 Share Followers 0.
Take a look at this week's competitors - a 1972 BMW 2002 Tii here on eBay with no reserve and bidding at $2,800 and a 1969 Datsun 510 here on eBay with bidding at just over $5,000 and the reserve unmet. While we love the 2002 on Barn Finds, this is one rough Tii. Still, because of those three special letters, it deserves saving.

I had to sell mine a few years ago during a work drought, and I'm finally in the position to buy another car. Re: Datsun 510 vs BMW 2002 by okayfine 05 Nov 2011, 23:27 I dunno, while no individual spec of the 510 (or 2002) was ground-breaking, the combination of front discs, IRS, OHC engine, flow-through ventilation (yes, flow-through-frickin'-ventilation!) at the 510 price point (and market demographic). The Datsun 510 was referred to as the "Poor Man's BMW 2002", but in a few ways, it was technologically superior and now, it is worth more than the 2002.
But some people like the body style of the 2002 better. I am currently driving a Datsun 510 and I find it to be a blast, I also get a lot of props from my classmates (I'm 16, this is my first car).

Vid clip- 510 vs. BMW 2002 at Sears Point '92 By Tedman November 10, 2019 in 510/1600. OK, in stock form there's no comparison.
The 510 was really loud at 70 mph, and the interior was minimalist. But it got me through college and the Berkeley parking wars. After graduation and a job, I was faced with either dumping money into the 510 or upgrading.
Found this 2002 and had to have it.
