Like most German marques following World War II, BMW found itself struggling through the late '40s and '50s between a lineup of increasingly outdated vehicles, rebuilding manufacturing plants, and other issues. Such was the company's struggle, it was almost taken over by chief rival Mercedes-Benz. In response, the company received major investment from the Quandt family and work was immediately started on a mid-size sports sedan called the 'Neue Klasse" (New Class). The car was an instant success following its release in 1962, bringing the company out of the brink of bankruptcy.
With their financial future now secure, BMW's engineers were assigned a new project: create a smaller, more affordable two-door version of the 'Neue Klasse' sedans. Thus, the 02 Series was born in 1966, staring with the 1600-2 (later 1602). Naturally, the car's lighter weight ensured it was both quicker and more fun to drive than its sedan counterparts. Quickly, the 02 set a standard of excellence all BMWs have had to live up to since. A few years after release, a 2.0L variant of the 02 came about, the 2002. Two states of tune were offered, as was a turbocharged variant come 1973. All 02 vehicles offer a joyful driving experience any discerning enthusiast will love.
The gorgeous 1976 BMW 2002 Sunroof Coupe featured here is finished in the eye-catching Platinum Blue Metallic over a Black and Houndstooth-pattern interior. This particular example was just released from a world-class collection after having been recently restored and refinished. Featuring a factory sunroof and upgrades such as slimline chrome bumpers, Hella driving lamps, and a bespoke interior, this BMW is the perfect example to show, drive, and enjoy. This exceptional 2002 Sunroof Coupe performs wonderfully and will complement any premier BMW collection. We are proud to offer this stunning 1976 BMW 2002 Sunroof Coupe to the most astute collector, investor, or enthusiast who appreciates this example's superb condition.
