Engine

Colour
Chamonix white with color-matched fender extensions

The BMW 2002 Turbo is widely regarded as a landmark performance machine — the first turbocharged production car from a German manufacturer. Based on the acclaimed 2002 sports sedan, it featured a 2.0-litre Kugelfischer-injected, KKK-turbocharged inline-four producing 170 bhp, distinctive fender flares, an aggressive front air dam with reversed lettering, and bold bodywork graphics. Only 1,672 were built before the 1974 fuel crisis ended production. This example has undergone a comprehensive three-year restoration to its original Chamonix white finish and is accompanied by a BMW Classic Certificate.

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.
