Tried and tested on the roads of the world: Cars developed from experience by BMW 

The clean lines of elegant, sporty styling. 

The shape of experience.

These cars have a shape to match today's driving conditions.

• Compact external dimensions.
• Generous internal dimensions.

These cars have a distinct clean shape, which is reflected by factors such as safety and visibility.
Not without reason has the shape remained unaltered for years.

A functional shape.

From the beginning, these models were designed with 2 doors.

Because of this deliberate limit­ation to two doors, the car body is lighter, yet more stable.

The waist line of the car is deliberately kept low.

Carefully thought out, right down to the smallest detail.

Edgings on the bonnet and boot assist visibility at the back and front for driving and parking.
A better view means more safety.

The bumpers extend round the bodywork at the front and back and there are protective mouldings along the sides. The front grille of all models is made of strong, black plastic. The kidney-shaped BMW symbol in the centre gives the car its classic appearance. The headlights are recessed into the radiator grille.

The very fast BMW 2002, 2002 tii and 2002 turbo are fitted as standard with high- power halogen (H4) headlights, which provide excellent
road visibility. On all models, the windscreen wipers are matt black in colour to prevent dazzle. The long, rectangular 4-section tail lights are large and clear. They make the car easy to see from behind.

Inside bigger than outside.

These cars are 4230 mm long and 1590 mm wide. (BMW 2002 turbo: width 1620 mm). The wheel base is 2500 mm. The turning circle is 10.4 m.
BMW design these cars compactly from the outside, but with plenty of room inside for 4 people in comfort. The smooth-surface boot has a capacity of 450 litres. Despite this, not an inch too much or too little metal.
The result: easy to handle and park in town. Roomy for long journeys. A design shaped for today s traffic conditions.

The shape of the future.

With their experience and technical know-how, BMW have created an avant-garde car. The BMW turbo, a study in style, a moving laboratory for
safety research. It is a step on the way towards the model of the future. But it is not a vision, not a dream. 
 

It symbolizes an investment of thought, of technical ability and the realistic application of these in the cars of tomorrow. Built to test the safety of bodywork, chassis and brakes, a powerful car for pleasure and heavy traffic. 

Powerful acceleration, fast overtaking, effortless cruising speeds: BMW technical expertise.

Engine design made BMW famous.

BMW have experience in the design of power units for aeroplanes, motor cycles and cars. This is a sure basis for technical expertise in the design of engines. The motoring press com­mented on the BMW four-cylinder power units: "They have a power, smoothness and quiet-running normally only expected of six cylinders

Engine techniques with experience behind them.

The four-cylinder power units have an overhead cam­ shaft. The inclined valves are mounted in an overhead, inverted V-arrangement The crankshaft has five main bearings and is balanced by counter weights.

Each individual cylinder is surrounded by a cooling water jacket. The engine is precisely lubricated thanks to the pressure oil circulation provided by the Eaton rotary oil pump, and because the high feed rate heat at the bearings is quickly dissipated.
The triple-hemisphere combustion chambers permit an intensive fuel/air mix.
Combustion is controlled. 

This means:
Extremely quiet running, high flexibility and reserves of power at all speed ranges.
High acceleration capability.
Economical consumption.

And last but not least: these power units already meet the tomorrow regulations on exhaust fumes.
 

Facts for safety.

The two-door BMW range offers five different power units with top speeds of from 160 km/h to 214 km/h

• The 1.6 litre with 85 BHP. From 0 to 100 km/h in 12.8 sec

• The 1.8 litre with 90 BHP From 0 to 100 km/h in 11.8 sec
• The 2.0 litre with 100 BHP From 0 to 100 km/h in 10 9 sec
• The 2.0 litre, injection version, with 130 BHP From 0 to 100 km/h in 9 4 sec
• And the 2.0 litre turbo with 170 BHP. Accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in approx. 7.0 sec

Because of these high acceleration values, overtaking is shortened by seconds.

BMW guarantee high engine staying power.

High, long-term staying power of the power units means:

.. .that the water cooling must include each individual cylinder. BMW guarantee this

...that not only must there be a generous flow of oil for lubrication, but this must also dissipate heat from points of high stress. BMW guarantee this

...that the valve gear must accept without strain the mechanical forces produced by higher speeds. BMW guarantee this.
.... that all necessary measures must be taken to ensure that the strain on components and materials through vibration is kept to a minimum BMW guarantee this

Easy gear change.

All models have a fully synchromesh, four-speed gearbox. (On request, sports- ratio five-speed gearbox) The gear change mechanism functions lightly and precisely. Movements are short, and exact and consequently safe. On request, the BMW 2002 can be supplied with automatic transmission. The advantages are high economy, higher operating comfort and safer driving.
 

Economical driving.

Thanks to the large fuel tank capacity, the mileage range of the cars is extremely high. Consumption (according to DIN 70030) is between 8 8 and 10 0 litres per 100 km 
 

BMW engine technology for powerful, flexible and economical driving. 
 

Driving pleasure for car connoisseurs.

"The quality that BMW have developed in engine design is also matched by the chassis. This is one of the major reasons why owners of a small BMW do not have to sacrifice driving pleasure. For obvious reasons, nothing has been altered to conflict with this: the 02 models with their excellently designed rear axle semi-trailing arms must still be regarded as the best road-holders of their class.. "
An extract from a test report by auto motor sport.

Track-true and curve-sure.

Fast, sporty cars need a safe chassis. The BMW two-door models have just this. Their chassis could accept much higher speeds than the cars travel. Front and rear axle are so carefully co-ordinated that they guarantee maximum lateral guidance on bends under all driving conditions, and the maximum possible independence of the amount of load. This means: large reserves of  safety for critical situations. A high degree of forward- looking technology. All BMW cars have inde­pendent suspension. The front axle consists of the front wheels with their control arms and spring struts. Front track width is 1348 mm (2002 turbo 1362 mm), spring travel 180 mm. The rear wheels are mounted on semi-trailing longitudinal control arms and have coil springs with additional rubber springing. The wheels have a slightly negative camber, which can increase within narrow, predetermined limits under loads In all situations, maximum lateral wheel guidance is ensured. Track width is 1348 mm (2002 turbo 1362 mm), spring travel 190 mm. The springs and shock absorbers on the front and rear  axles are so well co-ordinated that road surface irregularities are smoothly absorbed. The car remains stable and therefore safe.

The BMW2002. BMW2002 tii and the BMW 2002 turbo have additionally, torsion bar stabilizers at front and back. On curves, this ensures that the springs are so well braced that optimum position is maintained.
All models have a wheel base of 2500 mm and wide 5 inch wheels. On the BMW 2002 turbo, 5/2 inch wheels and a limited slip differential transfer power to the road.

Perfection for sporty driving.

The combination of front spring struts and rear semi-trailing arms was pioneered by BMW and is a model example for maximum roadholding ability. This attention to detail, together with light, precise steering, allows high speeds with the optimum of driving safety. 
 

High braking safety for sporty driving. 

Safety even in extreme situations.

Sporty, powerful driving needs active safety. Part of this active safety is the dual twin-circuit brake system with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Not only safe braking is important. But also effortless braking. So these models have a brake servo, which makes things easier for your feet.
 

Double safety, thanks to superior technical know-how.

As the front, the 2-door models and the touring models have 4-piston fixed caliper disc brakes with auto­matic pad wear compensation. The diameter of the discs is 240 mm. On the BMW 2002 turbo,256 mm. The discs are cooled in motion through air ducts and the perforated wheel rims. On the BMW 2002 turbo, the brake discs have additional internal ventilation.

Simplex drum brakes with self-centring shoes are used on the rear wheels. Brake drum diameter is 200 mm on the BMW 1602 and 230 mm on the other models. The BMW 2002 turbo has a rear drum brake with a diameter of 250 mm. On all models, the hand brake acts on the rear wheel drum brakes.

Front and rear brakes form the "BMW dual twin-circuit system". Result: the front axle has double brake lines and each line has its own wheel brake cylinder pair. If this double brake circuit fails, the second still acts on all four wheels So braking of the front wheels is always ensured. This braking system is doubly safe.

Effortless and yet safe braking.

The braking power of thefoot is reinforced by a brake servo, which uses the vacuum in the engine intake manifold The brake servo of the dual twin-circuit brake systems is always carefully co-ordinated to the different models: in accordance with maximum speed and car weight
 

Correct tyres.

Tyres are an important chassis component and must meet its special requirements. They can have a considerable  effect on driving characterist­ics. It therefore follows that the recommended tyres are an important factor for vehicle safety. BMW were the first German car manufacturers to recommend radial tyres and later fitted them to all models. BMW are then sure of the safety of their cars and tyre manufacturers collaborate closely with BMW.

Better visibility, better safety: the BMW cockpit. 

BMW means individuality.

The clean lines of BMW cars are reflected by the design of the instrument panel. A useful amount of storage space and the instrument panel form a harmonious unit. The dials are large and clear and, together with the control instruments for fuel, water temperature, oil, headlights, direction indicators and hand brake, can be read at a glance. All models have finger-tip levers for high and low beam, flasher and indicators and for the automatic windscreen wipers and washers. Naturally, all operating controls are made of flexible material. Glove compartment, a non-slip shelf on the instrument panel and the storage space in the central console provide lots of room for lots of things. Instrument illumination is infinitely adjustable. The cigar lighter also serves as a socket for a pocket lamp. To reinforce engine "feel" the 2002 tii and 2002 turbo models have a rev. counter. A cockpit design which makes functionality a pleasure.

Neat, safe steering.

The four-spoke steering wheel on these models is both sporty and safe. It has a padded central boss safety disc and the horn is incorp­orated into the spokes. The operating levers, on the left  for direction indicators, head­ lights, flasher and on the right for windscreen wipers and washers, are close at hand behind the steering wheel. So the driver has full control over the car. And that means safety. On request, the BMW 2002 can be supplied with auto­matic transmission This makes driving - partic­ularly in town traffic - even more comfortable, even less tiring, even safer.

In the BMW cockpit, the driver is in full command of his car: so BMW make driving a pleasure. 
 

Restrained power - highest technical standards: BMW 2002 turbo. 

For connoisseurs and experts.

The BMW 2002 turbo represents the creation of a top model for sports drivers, that can also be driven easily in traffic. It is the proof of the technically perfect underlying concept of the 02 model range. It is a car for car lovers. For drivers who understand something of the art of driving, and for whom driving is still something worth experiencing.
 

The high power of a modern engine.

The 2002 turbo is fitted with a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke inline engine with fuel injection system It has an overhead camshaft and overhead valves in inverted V-arrangement The triple-hemisphere combustion chamber ensures optimum fuel combustion with maximum power output. The crankshaft has five mam bearings and is balanced by eight counter weights. In order to keep thermal loading of its high performance engine within narrow limits, the BMW 2002 turbo has an oil cooler in the front spoiler, mounted in the air stream. The BMW 2002 turbo achieves its high performance and astonishing torque by means of the exhaust turbo supercharger. This is located behind the exhaust manifold and uses the energy of the exhaust to force a higher fuel/air mixture, at an excess pressure of 0.5 atu,(psi) into the engine than it would normally process.
At each stroke, the engine processes more of the energy fed in with the fuel, but without increasing fuel consumption per BHP unit produced.
