1973 2002Ti

[Driv3r]

I thought the Euro Ti ended in April 72. This guy is restoring what he claim to be a 1973 Ti Schnitzer with certificate of authority!

Twin webers, exhaust manifold upgrade and boom, you now have 220hp.

Pay him €130,000.00 if you're interested . [emoji1]

Which coincided neatly with the introduction of the Euro-spec tii and the new Modell 71 (long-tail bumpers, knee trim, black instruments, long console, etc.). Thus, all tii's are Modell 71 and later cars, whereas all ti's are pre-Modell '71 cars.

I went with realoem search and it showed April 72 but I guess they either plated mid year 71 cars in 72 or realoem is realwrong [emoji1]

I kinda find it hard to believe that Ti got out of the factory with a regular booster and no air cleaner brackets not to mention the Spanish Weber's with cable linkage.

12-fuse-box. More to say?

 

Are elsewhere two letters of the alphabet decupling the price of a car? Camaro $$, perhaps?

Knowing the VIN would clear up the YOM quickly...didn't see it in the writeup, but at least the front bumper has the bumper guards that were used on Euro squarelight cars, and they don't jibe with the plain, short end rear bumpers.  One piece dash from a later car.  

 

It also appears that the hood, trunk lid, front fenders and quarter panels are fiberglass.  Also the rockers are hand-formed (and beautifully done!).     Quite a spectacular car, but as has been pointed out, I was under the impression that BMW discontinued the carbureted ti when they introduced the tii in 1971.  According to the factory 2002 history book, ti production ended in January 1971, and tii production began in May '71.

Well, its pretty clear that the starting point was not a "ti", but if it was done by Schnitzer that would give it enough pedigree anyway. Did Schnitzer prepare cars for the road that would have carried such profane designations? I looked again at the 12 fuse box layout, but the fine print clearly states its first registered in 1973, so would fit.

The ti's were made up to the cutover to the tii, which would have been April / May 1971, mine is from Mid February, but its not near the end of the serial number range for the ti's.
