I love BMWs. I have wanted one ever since I was a small boy. Not just any BMW but the 2002tii. Of course I wouldn’t mind a 635csi or 3.0cs or E21 323i but if I can only have one, the 2002tii would be my choice.
So what is a BMW 2002tii?
The origins of the 2002tii can be traced to the early sixties when the New Class “1500” 4 door compact sedan was introduced in September 1961 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The New Class line offered four-door sedan and two-door coupe variants and was powered by BMW's four-cylinder M10 engine, featuring fully independent suspension, MacPherson struts and disc brakes in the front.
The line-up was expanded to include two-door sports sedans with the introduction of the 1602 and 2002 in 1966, “02” denoting the number of doors. The new two-door sports sedan was designed by the famed Italian stylist Giovanni Michelotti. Between 1966 and 1976, an estimated total of 862,000 2002s were produced.
The 2002tii was produced from 1972 to 1975 and is fitted with a single overhead camshaft and mechanical fuel-injection instead of carburettors. There was no automatic version of the 2002tii, a four-speed; floor-shifted manual was the only option.
In 1975 the production of the 2002 ceased after the introduction of the E21 3-series.
