MotoeXotica is pleased to announce another cult classic from the seventies, n exquisite 1974 BMW 2002tii. Also known as an E10, his 2002tii was the epitome of performance available at the time with the forward-thinking design of Kugelfischer fuel injection. The market for these cars has started to move upward drastically in just the last year, his is a fleeting opportunity to obtain a relatively un-touched version before they get out of reach.

This example, ith 41,096 miles, as a Polaris Silver exterior that really makes this 2002 stand out. (The paint has minor spots and the occasional scratch on it and there’s a small dent in the roof just forward of the metal sunroof.) There are two driving lights mounted over the front bumper and inboard of the headlights and all four lenses are clear and intact. The front bumper is mostly in great shape but has a small blemish and a chrome bubble in front of the driver’s headlight. Car has a Nakamichi AM/FM stereo with CD player but there are no speakers. Radio aerial is in its usual place, ttached to the driver’s side A-pillar. The back bumper has a half-dollar sized blemish and another one on the driver’s side. The engine bay is extremely clean, owever, he windshield washer is inoperable.

This 2002 sports BMW’s standard lace alloy wheels with center caps riding within Goodyear Eagle Ventura tires with plenty of tread. Previous owner reports that the car runs very well, ccelerates quickly and handles well and reportedly had an engine rebuild prior to purchase, ut no receipts on hand.

Open the driver’s door and you’re greeted by rich, lack upholstery and black carpeting and BMW floormats on the inside. There are a pair of bucket seats for the front passengers and a bench seat for those in back. The seats are in great shape and show minimal wear. Package shelf behind the rear seat is also in good shape. Contrasting light-colored headliner and silver framed dome light are in outstanding condition. The standard Gertag four-speed manual transmission was upgraded to a BMW five-speed unit. The aforementioned sunroof opens by hand. There’s a wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel to grip and full instrumentation – speedometer, achometer, uel and temperature gauges – although the speedometer may need a new cable. The dashboard has a small crack just to the right of the instrument binnacle. All windows, earview and sideview mirrors are clear and intact. Vent windows and driver’s side glass open.

Car’s previous owner purchased this awesome Bimmer out of California in 2005. Since then it has been stored during winters; only driven during good weather. The owner prior to the previous one restored the car, onverting it to a “roundie.” Frame is straight and previous owner reports no accidents that they were aware of.

Helmut Werner Bönsch, MW’s director of product planning, nd Alex von Falkenhausen, esigner of the M10 engine, ach had a two-liter engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal uses. When they realized they both made the same modification to their cars, hey prepared a joint proposal to BMW’s board to manufacture a two-liter version of the 1600-2. At the same time, merican 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 produced 101 hp and the dual-carburetor high compression version, roducing 119 hp. The 2002tii used the fuel-injected (130 hp) engine from the 2000tii, hich resulted in a top speed of 115 mph. The tii suffix is short for “touring international, njected.”

Examples of competitor vehicles to the BMW 2002tii include the Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce, he Datsun 240Z/260Z and possibly the Chevrolet Cosworth Vega and Ford Mustang II, hich had been newly downsized for 1974.

In 2016, MW will celebrate its 100th anniversary. BMW has a long successful history both in Europe and the United States.
