BMW 2000 / 2002 “Touring” Three-Door Sports Coupés. The BMW “New Class” 1600 / 2000 / 2002 is one of BMW’s most famous automobile model lines, whose popularity established the company’s reputation for compact sports sedans. The various models were all powered by BMW’s famous and highly advanced “MI0” SOHC 4-cylinder engine designed by noted engineer and race driver Baron Alex von Falkenhausen. The M10 motor was originally designed with a 1.5-liter displacement, but with capacity for a displacement increase to 2.0 liters (1990 cc),as it was in the 2000/2002 models. In the “tii” configuration (“Touring International Injected”) the engine was fed by Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection,producing 130 bhp.

Designed for sport. Over and above its free-revving aluminum engine, the 2000/2002 boasted a highly advanced fully independent suspension with MacPherson struts in front, efficient front disc brakes, and an airy high-visibility interior with thin pillars that gave rise to the term “greenhouse” passenger cabin.

The Italian-designed “Touring” variant. Not to be confused with the “tii” engine designation, BMW’s three-door 2000 / 2002 “Touring” model was designed by the famous Giovanni Michelotti of Italy. Made only for the European market and never imported to the USA, 25,827 units of this handsomely styled European-spec sports coupé were produced from 1971 to 1974.

Volante Classics currently has two very attractive examples of BMW 2000/2002 “Touring” sports coupés for sale, both imported from the Netherlands, shown here. Each car is in beautiful condition and quite collectable. Regarding the mileage for each of these cars, it is important to note that BMWs (as with many other cars of this period) were fitted with odometers that only displayed five digits. After 99,999 miles (or kilometers) were covered, the odometer would roll over back to “00000” and begin recording the second 100,000 units.
