For Sale at Auction: 1974 BMW 2002 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. 4290076 Engine No. 2708006 The BMW 2002 Turbo marked a bold new
chapter-not just for BMW, but for European automotive design as a whole. As the
continent's first turbocharged production car, it elevated the already esteemed
02 series of sport compact executive cars into a new stratum of performance and
innovation. Unveiled at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, the 2002 Turbo stood
apart. Its wide fiberglass fender flares, bold air dam, and rear spoiler
proclaimed its purpose, while the new twin-scroll turbocharger attached to the
fuel-injected 2002 tii-sourced four-cylinder provided power to match. It was
accompanied either by a Getrag 232 four-speed manual transmission unique to the
variant or the Getrag 235/5 close-ratio five-speed manual that was optional on
the 2002 tii. A larger radiator and oil cooler were standard, as were new
ventilated front disc brakes and larger rear drums. All 2002 Turbos featured BMW
Motorsport decals and stripes on the car's flanks and air dam, while red trim
adorned the interior including on the new Rentrop sport seats and the new
instrument panel, which featured an added boost gauge. Produced in limited
numbers and offered exclusively in Polaris Silver or Chamonix White, the 2002
Turbo remains a cornerstone in BMW's performance legacy. According to its BMW
Birth Certificate, this 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo is finished in its original colors
of Polaris Silver with a Black upholstered interior. It is equipped with the
optional five-speed manual transmission. It was most recently owned by prominent
Dutch collector Olav Glasius, who purchased the car from Italy several years
ago. The 2002 was imported to the United States in August 2025 and is now
offered with 79,705 kilometers or 49,526 miles at cataloging. As a low-mileage
example, this 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo offers the distinct opportunity to own one of
the marque's most celebrated icons: the first turbocharged European production
car and a far more focused driving machine than the standard sedan on which it
is built.
