Vehicle Description
1974 BMW 2002
An amazing example of a very original 2002 that is in amazing
condition. Three owners, the 1st owner purchased the car new and
took delivery in Munich at the factory and kept the BMW until 2013
with only 50,000 miles traveled. Mostly original paint & a
beautiful original interior. Stunning example considering the age
of 43 years but has been well cared for. Upgraded to a Webber
carburetor but includes the original Solex carburetor and air
cleaner. Complete with spare rim, tools and owners manual. Solid
and rust free and in excellent mechanical condition. It is
impossible to find a BMW 2002 in this condition!
History
The well-loved and highly successful 2.0-liter version of BMW's
smaller sedan, unchanged in dimension or basic appearances from the
original 1600. Offered variously in three different stages of
engine tune, not all of which were available in the US because of
then-current emissions regulations. Carbureted standard and ti
models were offered through 1974, the fuel-injected tii beginning
for 1972. The mainstay of BMW's American and European lineups in
three years and remarkably little change. Quite fast 110 mph
standard 120 mph tii in European trim - for such a practical design
that included full four-seat capacity, a roomy trunk, well-chosen
driving stance and great outward visibility. Yet it could be the
socks off of many and so-called sports cars in handling. Replaced
by the more refined more expensive 3-series based on a similar
mechanicals and suspension, but to many BMW fans the 2002 is the
best car ever to come from Munich.
