1972 BMW 2002tii in Colorado Orange — Canadian-Kept Classic
About this vehicle
Colorado orange on a 2002tii is about as right as a color gets for the model. This 1972 car wears that vivid BMW hue over a black interior — a pairing that hits differently in person than even good photographs convey. The bodywork, reportedly refinished around 2015, still holds its crisp lines: the upright greenhouse, slim chrome bumpers, bright window surrounds, and front vent windows all present. Round headlights up front. The Hofmeister kink at the rear pillars. Distinctive round taillights and dual center-mounted exhaust tips from the aftermarket ANSA sport exhaust finish an exterior the seller calls excellent overall.
What made the tii the tii was BMW's 2.0-liter M10 inline-four fitted with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, separating it entirely from the carbureted standard 2002. In European specification that means approximately 130 horsepower and 131 lb-ft of torque going to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox, with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes handling stopping duties. The ANSA sport exhaust sharpens the four-cylinder's exhaust note without changing what the engine fundamentally is. Per the seller, routine maintenance has been kept up, and the driving experience stays the analog, connected affair anyone who's spent time in one of these would recognize.
The cabin is finished in black throughout. An upgraded driver's sport seat has been fitted, and a black leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of analog VDO instrumentation. Coco floor mats cover the floors. A Sony stereo occupies the dash where the original unit once lived, though the original driver's seat comes along with the sale — leaving future restoration paths open for whoever takes it.
The odometer reads 88,160 miles. A single Ontario-based owner kept this tii from 2017 through September 2026, and it carries Canadian registration, offered here at auction in Canada.
Included in the sale: the original driver's seat, a spare tire, and Canadian registration documentation.
