1972 BMW 2002 Tii Description

1972 BMW 2002 “Roundie” tii. Also known as a e10, this 2002 tii was the epitome of performance available at the time with the foward thinking design of Kugelfischer fuel injection. 1972 is considered by many the best year for the tii. 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.

Helmut Werner Bönsch, BMW’s director of product planning, and Alex von Falkenhausen, designer of the M10 engine, each had a two litre engine installed in a 1600-2 for their respective personal use. When they realized they had both made the same modification to their own cars, they prepared a joint proposal to BMW’s board to manufacture a two litre version of the 1600-2. At the same time, American importer Max Hoffman was asking BMW for a sporting version of the 02 series that could be sold in the United States. The 2.0 engine was sold in two states of tune: the base single-carburetor 2002 producing 101 hp and the dual-carburetor high compression 2002 ti producing 119 hp. The 2002 tii used the fuel-injected (130 hp) engine from the 2000 tii, which resulted in a top speed of 115 mph
