bravo 35 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Someone explain the difference between the models with the rectangular lights and the ones with circular mk-I cortina style lights? I prefer the latter. I'm going to have to save up now. I'd actually rather one of these than a 540i lol. I've always liked them but also always dismissed them for god knows what reason.

I prefer the latter. I'm going to have to save up now. I'd actually rather one of these than a 540i lol. I've always liked them but also always dismissed them for god knows what reason. Rectangle lights were post 1974, roundies pre 5. Model Year Variations/Info: 1968 was the first year for the 2002 model. It's origins came from the former 1600 model after a 2 door coupe concept (1600-2) was conceived. The 2002 model is simply the 1600-2 2 door body designation with a 2.0 litre motor. These are usually identified by missing lower side moldings, simple chrome bumpers, and no reflectors. These have the original round taillights and the front grills are silver & black combination. 1969-1971.5 models are pretty much the same as the '68's, with mild upgrades to the braking systems. Minor interior modifications were made and the long neck rears were replaced with the newer short neck axle. CV Joints were also added, I believe. 1972 introduced the 2002tii in the US, the most desirable of the 02 models. Tii models were fuel injected instead of the traditional carb'ed versions. The Tii stands for Touring Injected International. Prior to this, the Touring International (TI) designation was for the higher performance, dual carb'ed versions of the 02. The Tii's fuel injection was achieved by the "Kugelfischer" mechanical fuel injection system. Tii's had a higher compression than their regular carb'ed counter parts (9.0:1 vs. 8.5:1). Internal engine modifications were made as well. Larger intake valves were added, a completely improved braking system (larger front rotors/calipers/pads, larger rear wheel cylinders and larger master cylinder/brake booster), and a better suspension was added (stiffer control arms and spindles). Wider wheels (5X13 vs 4 1/2X13) were also added. The overall fuel injection changes and higher compression made the Tii good for about an extra 25-30HP over it's predecessor. In 1972, 130bhp was not common and made these cars a blast to drive. Visually, they looked the same as the 71.5's with the exception of the 2002tii badge on the rear. The carb'ed versions stayed the same up until 72.5, where the engine gets a major revision due to new emission laws. This introduced the E12 head. The original heads were stamped with 121 or 121TI. The newer E12 head also benefitted from bigger valves (from 44mm to 46mm). A two barrel Solex carb is used. The EGR, and the air pumps are dropped. Performance was improved as a result. The Tii also gets the new E12 head in mid-'72, combined with aluminum intake runners versus the original black plastic banana tube intake runners found on 121 heads. 1973 yielded no major changes except for the bumpers. The bumpers were extended further out to meet the new U.S. bumper regulations. 1974 introduced some major body changes. The most noticeable are the rear tail lights and bumpers. The "roundtails" are gone and in place are the square tail lights. High impact bumpers were added to meet U.S. federal regulations. The interiors are upgraded with completely new upholstery and simulated wood is added to the gauges. The front grills are now black plastic. The turn signal lever is moved to the left of the steering column, where older models have it on the right hand side. The Tii gets the same body facelift, however, this is the last year for the Tii in the US. 1975 brings no visual changes. The engines are highly modified with emission controls. Thermal reactors were added, EGR's and air pumps, and also the '75's yield lower compression. The '75's are the least desirable as a result. 1976 is the last year of the 2002. No major exterior changes were made, but the emission controls were removed for the 49-state version (non-California) cars. Thermal reactors are no more, which was a welcomed changed. Rear axle ratio is lowered on 49-state cars to improve acceleration up to a higher numerical 3.9:1 vs the original 3.64:1. A new cylinder head (designated the E21 2.0) is used which is the same one the 320i's eventually adopt. The non "49 State" version California cars are identical to '75 models. The '76's are by far the easiest to maintain and own. By 1976 BMW had ironed out all of the problems and as a result the '76's are the most reliable all around models. These are perfect for the first time 02 owner. There are 2 nice well priced ones on tm atm - "TI SPEC" and the orange one Edited March 7, 2009 by tastic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

|ncary 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 Why have I always thought the Tii had a turbocharged injected engine? I'm so confused. I swear there is a 1970's turbo BMW... Google will know. Or someone here............. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted March 7, 2009 Why have I always thought the Tii had a turbocharged injected engine? I'm so confused. I swear there is a 1970's turbo BMW... Google will know. Or someone here............. 2002 turbo and 2002 Tii are two different models. IIRC - 2002 turbo had a turbo 2.0L M10 while the 2002 Tii had a mechanical injection 2.0L M10 as opposed to the standard 2002 Ti with a carbureted (sp?) 2.0L m10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Spottswoode Report post Posted March 8, 2009 I have a folder on my comp called '02 porn... My ultimate would be a 2002 touring with 2.5L S14 swap, dogleg gearbox, inka orange on colour matched 15" BBS RS wheels, Alpina "pig cheek" flairs and 2002 turbo front and rear bumpers... So kinda like this, but with flairs: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
