The BMW 2002 Turbo was a turbocharged performance derivative of the 2002 Tii, produced in just 1,672 units and introduced controversially at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show. Its 1,600 cc KKK-turbocharged engine produced 170 bhp, accompanied by wider wheels, uprated brakes, and a limited-slip differential. This particular example has undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration by specialist workshop Oldenzaal Classics and presents in near-new condition with full BMW Motorsport livery intact.

Are you the owner of this car?

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
