Helmut Werner Bönsch, BMW's director of product planning, and Alex von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two-litre engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal use. When they realized they had both made the same modification to their own cars, they prepared a joint proposal to BMW's board to manufacture a two-litre version of the 1600-2. In 1971, the coupe was switched from the 1.6 L engine to the 2.0 L engine to become the 2002 sport coupe. This is a nice clean example of a 1976 BMW 2002 with only 48,950 miles. It runs and drives great, great performance, sporty, dependable and a sound investment. It is equipped with the original motor, 4 speed and a factory sun roof. It has had only one re-spray to its original Baikal Met with Lt. Biscuit interior, NO RUST just a clean straight European sports car.
