In the mid-1960s BMW perceived a market for a smaller, more affordable, two-door version of its four-door New Class executive sedan. In 1966 BMW presented an attractive and sporty car 5 cm shorter in wheelbase and some 25 cm shorter in length, resulting in the 1600-2. It was less well-appointed than the New Class, but lighter, faster, and better handling. The larger displacement 2002 directly derived from it in 1968 would go on to establish a new reputation for BMW as a maker of high-quality affordable performance vehicles. Cabriolet, targa, hatchback, and economy versions of various "02" Series models were also produced
As per the larger coupe and 4-door sedan models, the 2.0 engine was initially sold in two states of tune: the base single-carburetor 2002 producing 100 PS and the dual-carburetor high compression 2002 ti producing 120 PS . The 2002 Automatic, with the base engine and a ZF 3HP12 3 speed automatic transmission, became available in 1969. The 2002 ti was replaced in 1971 by the 2002 tii, which used the fuel-injected 130 PS delivering a top speed of 185 km/h
This 2002 has been completely restored from the ground up. It has been painted in the original colour and the interior is as it was delivered when new. A factory correct Air Conditioning unit has been installed and works beautifully. The 5 speed gear box is crisp and direct. A restoration to this standard will always cost more than what the car is worth, but if you want one of the best 2002's in SA, then this is it.
