1973 BMW 2002 Turbo

4291147roadGermany

Engine: 1.99L inline-four, fuel-injected, KKK turbocharged, 170 PS
Colour: Chamonix white

The BMW 2002 Turbo, introduced at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show, was one of Europe's first turbocharged production saloons, powered by a KKK-boosted 1,990 cc M10 four-cylinder producing 170 PS. Only 1,672 were built before the oil crisis curtailed production. This late example wears Chamonix white, features the rarer five-speed Getrag dogleg gearbox, a central exhaust pipe characteristic of later cars, and retains its original matching-numbers engine. It has been held since 2022 by a specialist collection.
