1972 BMW 2002tii turbo-good buy?

[woodfire]

The BMW2002 in the picture is not the tii turbo version though. The one in the pic is the 1.6liter version.

The car we test drove is the 1972 2002tii 2.0liter version. all the trims, upholstery, ceiling, sidings and stereo are kept in very good condition. all are up to specs of the 2002tii model. the stereo/radio suck though! the handling and engine hum is still very good.

the mags of the 2.0liter turbo version is the bbs typeD (meshwire) with centerhub emblem and the rear emblem says 2002tii (denoting the turbo spec).

If you're a real beemer fanatic with the means to maintain it, then its a buy.

But if you want a more practical toy car... then look for an M3 or mod up a 3 series/5 series.

BMW 2002 tii is not a turbo version. It is just a 2002 with fuel injection instead of carburators.

The correct designation is 2002 Turbo. It has a 2.0 liter engine with Kugelfischer Fuel mechanical fuel injection and a turbo.

These are very limited. They come in two colors only--- silver and white. They have a rear pre 1971 bumper but no front bumper because of the front spoiler. They also hadve a rear spoiler and wheel arch extensions to accomodate wider wheels(6x13 rims similar to E21 but different offset). The BBS-Mahle cross-wire alloy (mesh) are not originally fitted but instead a BMW Bottle Top wheel come as a factory option but very few have these type.

Some obvious visual clues apart from the above mentioned are the Turbo Logos on the body as well as the reverse image Turbo logo in the front spoiler. Also the rear tail lights are square instead of round.

There is one here in Manila that is practically brand new and its for sale for a cool 7mil. Car is well documented and voted to be one of the best 2002 turbo in the world.
