2000Tii touring "Rallye pack"


Guest Anonymous

Hi from Switzerland, I am new on this nice forum.

I have a question about a 2000Tii touring I've just bought. The car is orange and has, according to the car's paperwork, a "Rallye pack". Alloy wheels, sport seats, leather steering wheel, sunroof, extra lights on the bumber and USA specification's orange turning lights. In fact, the car is 100% like the original Touring of the Amsterdam show in 71 and like the orange one of the original Touring sales brochure. What is strange are those US turning lights, the car is an original swiss car with one owner, so the car has been delivered like this. Could someone explain me if this is a special Touring (or special option) and why the turning lights are different from a stock Euro-Touring?! All info very welcomed! By the way, the car is close to concourse condition.

Same have a red center, some have an orange center. Also, the front flashers are flat in Europe and have only one bulb. In North-America, it has two bulbs and it has a more rounded shape. When driving with headlamps on, the front flashers are lighted, not in Europe where it has city lights...

Your touring seems to have the optional Sport package. And yes, as far as I know these 'fat' indicators were included in it.

Nice find!

best regards from the Netherlands,

Hello again

I have now the answer to my question, thanks to Wilbert of BMW4life touring's website. My car has

a factory "sport package" (US turn signal, special alloys, sport seats) and a rare optional sunroof.

You can see the photos at http://www.villagephotos.com/pubbrowse.asp?selected=468592 (also some pics of my other 02, a 72 colorado 2002)

And better than great. In good condition worth about US$2000 a pair to an early Porsche enthusiast. About twice the price of equivalent condition Scheels.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
