1973 BMW 2002
With exterior trim that cries vintage race car, MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to offer another this two-toned 1973 BMW 2002 Roundie. Also known as an E10, this 2002 was the epitome of performance available at the time with the forward-thinking design of Kugelfischer fuel injection. The market for these cars has started to move upward drastically in just the last year, this is a fleeting opportunity to obtain a relatively un-touched version before they get out of reach. Dressed in lustrous Verona Red (code 024) over black (schwartz) (code 086) paint, this 2002 is complemented by many new trim pieces, a wraparound front air dam, fender flares and an integrated rear deck spoiler. All glass panels are intact, clear and in good shape. The vehicleandrsquo;s lights are all present, clear and complete. All body panels are straight and in good shape; they look especially good in two-toned paint. This car has approximately 11,000 miles of use since its 2.0L M10 engine was rebuilt and it is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Car rolls on a set of gold, genuine BBS Super RS 15-inch wheels snug within Dunlop Direzza DZ102 205/55R15 tires. The stunning interior features a new dashboard cover, black full leather seating, new carpeting, a new headliner and new window cranks, armrests and knobs. Thereandrsquo;s a sport, three-spoke steering wheel and all instrumentation works as designed. Driverandrsquo;s assist features include power brakes and air-conditioning. A bonus feature is the Alpine VehicleHub Pro entertainment system, featuring an in-dash seven-inch Xenarc video screen, a remote control on the console, an Alpine subwoofer in the trunk and an Apple Mac Mini computer that acts as music/movie server. A BMW tool bag with some tools and a copy of the carandrsquo;s ownerandrsquo;s handbook are also in the trunk. The 2002 joined BMWandrsquo;s model stable for 1968 and lasted through 1976. By 1973, the 2002 came in its best-loved shape, with the rounded taillamps and heavier, safety-mandated bumpers that didnandrsquo;t detract from the carandrsquo;s sporty good looks. Helmut Werner Bandouml;nsch, BMWandrsquo;s director of product planning, and Alex von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two-liter engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal uses. When they realized they had both made the same modification to their own cars, they prepared a joint proposal to BMWandrsquo;s board to manufacture a two-liter version of the 1600-2. At the same time, American importer Max Hoffmanasked BMW for a sporting version of the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The 2.0engine was sold in two states of tune: the base single-carburetor 2002 producing 101hp and the dual-carburetor high compression 2002 ti producing 119hp. The 2002 tii used the fuel-injected (130hp) engine from the 2000 tii, which resulted in a top speed of 115mph. This year, BMW celebrates its 100th anniversary. BMW has a long successful history both in Europe and the United States. This is an opportunity for you to acquire a part of that history that made BMW a house hold name in America!
