1969 BMW 2002 in Portland, OR

Recommended Posts

Year:: 1969


Make:: BMW


Model:: 2002


Price:: 1000.00


Location: : Newberg, OR

I saw this ad and thought I would pass it along.  A 1969 BMW 2002 in Colorado over Black interior.  Some pretty serious rusty bits, but dual carbs, Gotti wheels and steering wheel, not running and maybe too far gone to save, but bumpers and center console nearly cover the asking price.

 

NM/NA,

CL listing long gone by the time I saw this. No headrests or side-marker lights/reflectors? If it left the factory that way, and it's a U.S.-spec car, it's certainly a 1968-manufactured 1969 model (i.e., September through December 1968), as the headrest and side-marker requirements were effective January 1, 1969. Given that the 2002 only appeared mid-way through the 1968 model year, that would make this a mighty early 2002, and very similar to the 1968 model!

The other tantalizing tidbit is that Colorado -- I assume this car is Colorado -- was introduced as a 2002ti-only color. The December 1968 global all-models color brochure (essentially the color brochure for the 1969 model year, as shown below) shows precisely this: Colorado only available on 2002ti models, with either a brown cloth-and-vinyl or a black all-vinyl interior. And, of course, an early ti would have neither headrests nor side-markers, as it wouldn't have been U.S. spec. Now I'm not telling you that you just passed up a bona fide ti for $1,000, but there's more questions to be asked and answered here. Color change? Side-markers stripped? Later car? Euro-spec car?

What's going on with the right front grill? All the grilles have been blacked out but it almost looks -- from the single photo in the original post -- to have an emblem. No...I'm not telling you that that's a ti emblem, although it sure does look like it could be. Hey, we all know it's generally on the left grille, except when it appears on the right grille! And, hmmm...Gotti rims and steering wheel. They'd go well with a ti. No?

And you know, Portland isn't that far from Canada. Could a Canadian-imported ti have come across the border?

Sorry if I've gotten you all worked up!

Steve

I recall from the ad he said it had a ti emblem because the previous owner liked the symbol and that it's not a true ti

Thanks! I'll feel better if we didn't miss a bona fide ti! So...color change to a ti-only color?

Vin#. 1666595. 1969

Manufactured during the 1969 calendar year, and U.S.-spec, so side-markers must have been removed before a re-paint:

Just saw the photos. Wow: that's rusty!

    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
