BMW 2002Tii - The Legendary BMW We Have The USA To Thank For??

[@peterjackson2722]

I had the chance to buy one of these for £3000 back in 1989 when i was a young fella of 19 yrs old. It was immaculate. Like an idiot i didn't because girls and beer were more important at the time. I only think about that decision about 5 times a day now, so, I'm getting over it slowly.

Back in the day, I owned a 1971 2002tii in Colorado Orange with black interior and 5 speed Getrag transmission. The most enjoyable vehicle I've ever owned in over 58 years bar none. Back then few knew what a BMW was. My dream back then was the most beautiful BMW 3,0 CS but my cash was limited.

[@gsigs]

You hit the nail on the head, Jack. Most of us who have or pine for a car like this just want that feeling of simple connectedness that is lacking in new cars. Sometimes I think my old Fiat 128 that I thrashed back and forth to college was the best car I ever had.

My father taught me the basics of car control in a 2002, round rear lights model. I was 10. It was in a damp field atop the Cheddar Gorge. Utterly miserable holiday weather, so sod it, 'Teach the lad to drive!' Better than sitting in the caravan or getting damp sightseeing. Once you've seen one gorge cave, you've exhausted all points of interest for a 10 year old. Of all his cars over the years, only the 2002 and his 2.8i MKII Granada were worthy of his reminiscing.

My father had a 2002 but with a serious amount of mods to suspension, breaks, bodywork, wheels and more. It was a project that was halted and we took advantage. The work then continued with mods to head, pistons, and the addition of a five speed sprint gearbox. The icing on the cake though was when Mathwall Engineering in Surrey found a way to put a blower on it, and on to one other car that was raced, they became at the time the only two right hand drive 2002 Turbos in the world, maybe ever that made it.

[@sergioleone3583]

Always thought the round tail lights looked better; a friend had the later big taillight version and it was a very nice car for sure.

[@elveggoloco]

I've always loved these! It goes back to 1971 when I was three years old. My parents took a vacation in Europe and planned to bring home one of the recently introduced Super Beetles, as they'd loved their '66 Beetle. But when they got to Germany they found the exchange rate to be significantly better than they'd expected and instead bought a little red BMW 1600. A year after they bought it, we moved to a small town in Alabama where we may have had the only BMW In town for a little while, certainly no more than a handful of them at most throughout most of the '70s and nobody knew what it was, as BMW had no corporate presence in the USA until 1975 and they were fairly rare cars, sold in small numbers through an importer until the US office was established and then it still took a while to gain a hold here. Many people today aren't aware that the smaller BMWs weren't luxury cars in those days. Ours had a black vinyl interiour and few features, although I do think that it had aircon, something I've not seen in any 2002 I can recall seeing in recent years. My mom got the car in the divorce in '76, as it was the best kid-hauler we had and also the newest car we had (Dad took the Sunbeam and the beastly old Plymouth). The BMW was still a very solid and reliable car when my mom traded it in 1978 for a VW Golf. In the late '80s I lived in Germany for a couple of years and saw many of these 02 Serie BMWs around and fell in true love. I've never owned one but if I ever get tired of my Lotus Elan +2 I can imagine getting one of these to fill the opening. Call me crazy, but I rather like the post-facelift tail lights, which I think keep the car relevant to the '70s and add a touch of sophistication. No objection to the previous round lights of course, I just don't dislike the newer lights as much as everybody else. Thanks Jack for doing this one, I watched it twice already!

[@seayavietnam]

I bought a tii turbo from Frank Sytner... The man himself! Wish I'd kept that one. Exactly the same color. Just needed too much work for me at the time. Turbo was vicious - great fun. Sold it for a song. Many still race them down at Castle Coombe... Not too far from you 😊

[@SuperLuckyCat7]

Actually, due to it's revised chassis and bigger front discs; the first proper M-car! Worm and roller it is. 5-speed ZF trannies for these were dogleg. Had an orange -72 2000 Tii Touring, almost no rust and the Kügelfischer (which I assembled from parts in boxes, no internet back then, 1992). Being a mechanic system you simply removed the Woodruff key and then there was infinite tuneability. Bought the car as a runner w/ carb for like £200, reinstalled the injection, drove it for half a year. What a blast! Ultimately was offered £900 for the Kügelfischer pump and £1100 for the car with a simple solex. A pleasurable way of tenfolding my investment. However today that car would've been more like £20000. What did you know back then... Miss it SO much 😢 Anorak facts: engine block on Tii M10 is different, has an extra oil drain pipe on it's left as well as some trick coolant routing. Crank pulley is double w/ separate belt for the injection pump. And of course no mechanical fuel pump on the block, rather an electric one back by the tank. Quite different from the standard 2002:s

[@nigelalderman9178]

Regularly drove a 2002tii in the 70s. (My Dad's). It was a lovely car in the dry but fairly horrible in the wet and difficult to make fast progress a FIAT 125S was faster in the wet. They were banned in Scandinavia because of their abominable handling on slippery surfaces leading to an unexpected and fatal trip into the scenery. I guess this is why the back of your 'test' car has been lowered so far. I also drove a 2002 turbo. This was crazy with massive turbo lag and would spin out unpredictably even in the dry. Luckily I never drove it in the wet. It's owner totalled the LHD demon on a damp day. He was fine thankfully despite the roof flattening down to the top of the seat backs.

[@hawaiisteve932]

Aloha Jack , I've been hoping you would get into a 2002 , I fell in love with these about 20 years ago in Los Angeles , before they were popular at 1 time I had 5 of them . I still have my track/daily 1971 here on Big Island Hawaii. Twin 48 Dellortos , hot cam , extractor exhaust , hot ignition & fully adjustable rear suspension & coil over front . Factory alloy wheel & Cibie Super Oscars , what an absolute joy to drive. Thanks for a great review of the 2002 , I knew you'd be a fan.

[@geekandguide]

It raised a smile whchen it came around the corner in the opening sequence. It's not a car I've thought much about though I've always liked the style and simplicity. I do agree about touch-screens - wretched things are everywhere - oh for good old fashioned knobs, switches and buttons.

[@P.Galore]

I restored 5 of these in the early 2000's, including a 2002tii with worthless a/c AND sunroof. It was my daily driver for four years. I paid $10k for it and added up the receipts when sold: $23,000 in restoration and repairs for a grand total of $33,000....a fun but fragile automobile, prone to rust if parked next to a glass of water, and things like the driveshaft falling out. It's come up on BAT twice since and recently resold for $40k. I replaced the tii with a 318ti M Sport which drives very similarly, but better quality, brakes, comfort and reliability

[@VinDieselS70]

I was a proud owner of a 1972 BMW 2000 Touring between 1984 and 2004, and this one had Servo assisted brakes as standard so the owner of the car in the video must have taken it away for some reason. My car had 4 pot front discs and 50/50 split rear seats and backrests with a boot cover included with front seats from the E21 3 series as they were a straight swap across to the 2000 series. The Touring was even better to drive as it was 15 cm shorter and to this date the best handling car I have ever owned and very fun in the snow. Thank you for the video.

I remember as a young kid in the 70's a neighbour round the corner had one of these in the same yellow, with the round rear lights. beautiful car.

[@type4968]

I've had a 2002 for 15 years & love it!! The servos can cause problems & are quite expensive. An easy swop is to fit bigger brakes & remove the servos.

[@TVRV8]

I suspect this car is a hotted-up 2002 - the Ti was discontinued in '71 and replaced by the Tii so were only ever available as a roundie. I've got a '75 Tii sat in my barn waiting for me to restore it - interestingly when it was specc'd new it had an electric sunroof, LSD and a 5-speed close-ratio 'box. Sadly, only the sunroof remained when I bought it 20years or so ago. It was my daily driver for a while and I always got excited if it had rained the night before as I could drive it sideways everywhere at sensible speeds! Wonderful cars.

[@m6smitten]

The 2002 Tii pulls great for 130 bhp. The Turbo cars are slowish at low speed but they pull and pull and pull once the boost pressure is up. If you drive the Turbo, try to get the close ratio 5-speed.

[@rustyturner431]

I remember looking at a tii in the early-1970s. It had more headroom than an Alfa GTV and a sunroof was available...but I didn't think it handled as well, it certainly wasn't as pretty, and I have usually preferred Italian cars. Still, I wound up getting one for my wife (at the time), and she loved it...which took some doing, since she was a Jaguar girl. The tii had a huge boot and we took it on several long road trips. The injection handled high elevation (9000+ feet) a bit better than my Alfa did and the car was not difficult for me to service (a LOT more so than her old Jag). I liked it but never loved it, and the now-ex wound up replacing it with a 300CD Benz that she kept for almost 20 years and 300K miles. Don't think the little Bimmer would have done that!

Thanks Jack for another great video , I had 2002 with the rounded lights at the back which was supposedly the more desirable body , red , aromatic , but even for an automatic you could feel that it had more power than the average small car of the era , I bought if for $700 and sold it a few years later for $3000 . It was quite reliable as overseas friends who visited used to take it in the countryside on sightseeing trips. One issue was that even in Melbourne Australia it was a bit rusty , the usual places outside and big rust in the boot , that was 20 years ago and would have loved to have it still today but you can only have so much space in the driveway so it sat on the street , thanks again for another great insight 😊

Fantastic review. Thanks for this Jack. You are correct, it is a worm and roller. I own a 2002 and I’ve had 11 years of pleasure with mine. Never broken down. Taken my family on holiday twice with no issues. Interestingly, with the standard set up, it doesn’t feel jittery. Totally the opposite. It rides incredibly smoothly and wafts down the road. I want to do a bit of work on mine but it’s closer to standard if you ever wanted to drive it for a comparison. Gas shocks, Weber carb and the 5sp conversion. Aside from that it’s closer to standard spec.

I love the design language BMW had back then. Every line leaned forward, like Donald Duck's car when he really went for it. Cartoons do make an impact on culture. I always perceive this style as a hungry go getting racer. The leaning back smooth style, which is far more efficient, looks to me like someone who gets scared by a rollercoaster going down the slope. Silly stuff, but still. I like that concentrated, forward brow look that was so typically BMW then. It kind of went out the window from the E30 period forward.

Beautiful model. What you want is a 2002 with an S14 engine conversion from an E30 M3 with associated chassis and brake reinforcements. I have driven such a car and it was absolutely brilliant.

Great video! This '02 is something of a Frankenstein -- a square-tail body (probably a '74 if it's a real tii, but an earlier interior (from '72 or '73 most likely). Yes, the 2002's had worm and roller; the rack and pinion came with the E21, I believe. Also, I could be wrong, but I doubt the ti's ever came with a five speed. To do a 5-speed conversion you have to enlarge the transmission tunnel (unless it was an automatic).

I sold it for £1000 and it had a nice set of BBS quattro alloys on it! I loved the crank handle sun roof and crank handle windows! It would do one hundred miles an hour fairly readily.

Have you ever driven the three door version? The Touring, I think it was called. That was my dream car when I was a kid. I just liked the look of it. It must've been a bit of a Brummy with mullet type of car before the Golf GTI took over. The Capri and Manta certainly were. I imagine, now, that it must've been quite tailhappy but happy nonetheless. And it must have been lighter. Maybe it was a bit too happy, they never put a turbo on that one.

[@e28forever30]

It was called the E6, it was quite a bit shorter, and a tad lighter. Body wasn’t as stiff though, they could deform above the rear wheel when used to pull a trailer.

I've always had a soft spot for the 2002Ti. I agree the round tail lights look better.

Buzz Aldrin called and said why you didn't mention my name!

I saw a turbo on Jonny Smiths Late Brake show earlier.

I had every model from the 1600 to the TII, Touring as well, this was after my 1800 and 2000 Tilux. Turbo was too expensive to buy. After those I went to the 320 and 323, my father went from his 2800 and 3000 CS to the 323. I found the handling of the 02 better than the 3 series.

I got given a 2002 ( round rear loghts) in1989 from a uncle of mine when I was 18. Drove it for 6 months then traded it in for a 2.8 capri

Was my first car! a 2002 tii...bought for 350 quid and was as rotten as an old Apple ...took me 12 months and a lot of relations help to get it back on the road. The Kugelfisher was a pain and took another few months and a genious technician friend of mine to set up.
