roof rack MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present yet
another '70s German cult classic, a 1971 BMW 2002 "Roundie"
two-door sedan. This early example from dry Carlsbad, California
was made sometime between April and December of 1971. Also known as
a type 114, the 2002 was the epitome of performance available at
the time. The market for these cars is moving upward drastically in
just the last year, this is a fleeting opportunity to obtain a
relatively un-touched version before they get out of reach. This
car has the 2.0�engine with the base single-carburetor mated to a
four-speed synchromesh manual transmission. The car has the
following new parts - clutch kit, Weber carburetor set-up,
suspension and brakes. Dressed in new Chamonix White paint, this
2002 shows very well on the inside and outside. The paint is in
very good shape, with minimal blemishes upon close inspection and
some of the trim shows wear. Car includes a body-colored front air
dam. All glass pieces are intact and have appropriate appearance
relative to the car's age. Some of the exterior seals have been
replaced and the new chrome bumpers are in good order. The car has
13-inch BMW steel wheels with factory wheel covers that show
minimal wear or curb contact and the car rides on 175/70R13 radial
tires. The body panels are all straight and car has a locking fuel
filler cap. In 1971, the 2002 Series received a�facelift. Other
changes included wraparound bumpers for all models, a two-piece
instrument cluster and new seats. This car's trunk is in good shape
and has a layer of undercoating sprayed on the rear wheelwells.
Inside, the upholstery is in great shape overall, as is the
matching carpet. The three-spoke BMW steering wheel is in fair
shape and the dashboard is in good condition, although there is a
crack or two to the right of the main instrument binnacle. Car
comes with a set of VDO gauges, main and ancillary ones in the
center console. The horn is inoperable but the door panels are in
good shape, as are the mirrors and the gear shift lever. Most of
the interior trim is present and the white headliner contrasts
nicely with the rest of the interior. Completing the interior is a
Clarion AM/FM stereo with CD player with two 6x9 speakers in the
package shelf. The 2002 joined BMW's model stable for 1968 and
lasted through 1976. By 1971, the 2002 came in its best-loved
shape, with the rounded taillamps and heavier, safety-mandated
bumpers that didn't detract from the car's sporty good looks.
Helmut Werner B�nsch, BMW's director of product planning, and Alex
von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two-liter
engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal uses.
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-liter version of the 1600-2. At the same time,
American importer Max Hoffman�asked BMW for a sporting version of
the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The
2.0�engine was sold in two states of tune: the base
single-carburetor 2002 producing 101�hp and the dual-carburetor
high compression 2002 ti producing 119�hp. The 2002 tii used the
fuel-injected (130�hp) engine from the 2000 tii, which resulted in
a top speed of 115�mph. This year, BMW celebrates its 100th
anniversary. BMW has a long successful history both in Europe and
the United States. This is an opportunity for you to acquire a part
of that history that made BMW a household name in America! "One of
