Looks like it has potential! I am definitely not getting it, but whoever does is going to have a classic. It started off as a simple 1600 and BMW after a suggestion from Max Hoffman (one of their importers) stating that it would benefit from having a 2.0L straight 4 stuffed into it. The results were phenomenal! 130hp being sent to the rear wheels resulted in a car that would go from 0-60 just under ten seconds and a top speed of 118mph. Now these numbers don't seem like anything amazing today, but in the 1970's having a car like this meant you could dominate without being terribly obnoxious about it. The 2002tii ruled all cars of its class for one reason, there were no cars for it to beat out! Many believe this car to be the start of sport compacts. At the time BMW was nearly bankrupt and the launch of the 2002 is probably what saved them, this car was a huge success. The BMW 2002tii a simple recipe: a small practical coupe, a powerful engine in the front, and rear wheel drive in the back. This car I believe has had one of the greatest influences on the automobile industry of all time and if you are looking for a classic car that anyone can afford even today then I say this is the car to look for, just make sure it has a decent paint job!
