BMW puts pleasure back into motoring

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG. Munich. Germany Pri(lted in Western Germany 12 160 e 120 I V. 66

Provisions were made for five

models in the New Range,
we thought that this would
cover all requirements. Until
we asked ourselves what can
we do for the drivers who
are waiting for a car that on
one hand is no dearer than
a medium priced car, but
which on the other hand is
a true BMW?
We therefore buiit the new
BMW1600.

Why is it so fascinating to sit

in the driving seat of a BMW?
It hardly looks different
from any other - apart from
the obvious. It has five seats
and a lot of luggage space like many others.
It is no luxury ship and no
street cruiser. What then is
the reason?

In today's heavy traffic,

people are divided. Those
who are not concerned about
driving nose-to-tail, or following in someone's exhaust,
are served well by other cars.
But those who seek their
own way, who think young
and act dynamically, and
prefer to lead rather than be
led, need a car with a lot of
spirit and high reserves.
The cars of the New Range
were designed for just these
drivers: the BMW 1800,
the BMW2000,
the BMW 2000 TI,
the BMW2000 CS,
the BMW 2000 C Automatic.
And now the new BMW 1600.

M-WZ 480

It is no accident that cars of

the New Range are
characterized by extraordinary driving qualities and the
utmost reserves of power.
For fifty years/ high output
machinery has been the
focal point of the BMW programme.Fromlto28cylinder
engines/ from 13 to
360 horse-power for aero
planes/ boats/ cars/ motorcycles and rail vehicles.In-line,
rear, radial and V-form.
294 world records have been
attained with BMW cars. To
day/ after thirty years/
the legendary Junkers 52 still
flies on domestic routes in
Spain and South America with a BMW power unit
and when Hubert Hahne in
August 1965 achieved his
sensational lap record
of 10 mins. 12.2 secs. on the
Nuerburgring/ he was driving
a BMW 1800 TI.

These experiences speak for

themselves/ when a new
en~ine is developed by BMW
- JUSt as
that of the new BMW 1600.

If there were fixed rules for car production/ one of these would have to be: the livelier the engine is/ the greater must
be the capability of the chassis into which it is built/ for high reserves of power are only of use to you if they can be
used at all times without risk.

BMW cars are famous for their superlative driving performance and their brilliant cornering abilities. Ask our racing
drivers, who constantly use these reserves to the limit. Or drive a few miles in the new BMW 1600 and then ask yourself.
Your answer will be no different.

When you buy a BMW, then

you also buy the comfort of
a BMW. We will refrain
from reciting all the things
that we take for granted. Let
us rather give a thought
to the unusual things: you
will l;>e struck by the hollow
shape of the seat and back
rest, which give excellent
lateral support. Likewise the
uncluttered styling and clear
arrangement of the
instruments, which because
of their angle and covering
are completely dazzle free.
On the other hand, the
glove box is not at first visible.
Before you look for it in vain:
it pops out from underneath
the dashboard at the touch of
a finger.

We have given the

BMW 1600 high reserves of
power.
We have given it a body,
which by means of extraordinary road holding and
driving comfort, preserves
your strenght and nerves even in adverse driving conditions. We have given it
brakes, which make it easy to

m1n1mise the driving faults

of others,
by a touch of a pedal.
We have created the new
BMW 1600 so that you can
discover that even in the age
of dense traffic
there is still real pleasure in
motoring!

It is a high ambition to build a motor-car

that stands a good chance in motor sport
and at the same time possesses qualities for
prob Iem-free everyday use.
This unusual task was a challenge to the
pioneer spirit of BMW designers.
The necessary requirements for the job
were there.
The ability to convert exceptional technical
knowledge into building production -line
sports vehicles.
Experience in rac ing -in 1969. BMW won the
European Touring Car Championsh ip
with a BMW 2002 equ ipped with a 275 PSturbo supercharger motor.
Futuristic findings in research-in 1972,
the BMW turbo, one of the most advanced
experimental vehicles. was introduced.

This consistent technologica l development

has resulted in the BMW turbo: a new type
of high-powered engine, yet fully developed
and problem-free.
Increased performance styling. Sports
tested chassis.
Performance charact eristics of the
BMW 2002 turbo form a reliable basis for
general everyday use. Comfortable.
safe and pollution-free.
The BMW 2002 turbo. a concept of the
future.

........__....-"':__-__,.,,_,...,,..

The styling complements the considerably

increased performance. Shape determined
by function and specific uses. Technical.
but at the same time sporty streamlining .
Stabilized by the front spoiler and the
mounted rear spo iler. Bot h features adopted
from motor sport. Practical results from
the race tracks together with scientific
back -up from the wind tunne l.
The front spoi ler reduces air resistanc e
and lift on the front axle. The spoiler can be
removed without difficulty, should particular
road conditions make this necessary.

..

..

The rear spoiler, of particularly flexible material,

increases rear axle adhesion, avoids
turbulence and reduces drag.
With its outstanding engine performance
the turbo is kept firmly on the road by
5 ~ inch steel rims and tyres size 185/70
VR 13. The wheel arches have been
broadened and the wings can be unscrewed
to make way for even broader tyres for
racing. The absence of bumpers give a
functional front line.
Black radiator grill. sports rims, rectangu lar
four-chamber rear lights are rational
accents on design.

The principal item of the BMW 2002 turbo

is the eng ine. Based on the successful
4 cylinder -tii -motor w ith fue l injection.
and in addition. the power of t he turbosupercharger system .
The working principle of the turbo-supercharger : a turbine is driven by collected
exhaust gases. The supercharger forces
additional fresh air into the cylinder under
high pressure. This increased volume of air
causes the injection pump t o introduce
the correct amount of fuel. The more gases
are produced. the quicker the turbine
runs. Combustion is more intensive.
Id eally low exhaust pol lution. The eng in e
has 170 DIN HP (bhp) at 5800 rpm and
deve lops a torque of 24. 5 kgm (m kp)
at 4000 rpm . Resu lting acce leration: from
0to100 km/hr in 6,9 secs. Highest speed:
over 210 km/hr.

In everyday road usage w ith normal

motoring requirements. full engine performance is ready to be called upon. The turbo supercharger starts off gently at a low
rev. count. The engine, tuned to high
performance, runs with little noise. Without
vibrating. Without jerking. The exceptional
performance of the BMW 2002 turbo requires
exceptional design technology :
an oil cooler. An exhaust system of highly
heat-resistant material.
Oil cooler. High power condenser ignition
system. An exhaust made from high tempera ture resistant material.

An exemplary chassis construction. provid ing

safety and stabil ity for the BMW 2002 turbo
performance.
This is based on the adapted technology of the
wellproven BMW 2002 suspension: spring
struts, which ensure optimum roadholding
under all conditions. A steering system
that permits fast exact steering manoeuvres.
An impressive rear axle with inclined semitrailing arms which adjust back wheel toe-in
and camber independently and t herefore
always guarantee the best possible lateral
stabi lity and road adhesion. Torsion bar
stabi lizers at the front and back. Large internally ventilated disc brakes at the front.
Reinforced rear drum brakes. Brake servo and
brake pressure limiter for the back.axle.
The limited slip differential makes it possible
to corner accurately and move safely between
confined points.

The cockpit of the BMW 2002 turbo is the

realization of all experience gained from
motor sport and new findings in motoring
psychology. Designed for quick reactions.
Short reach operations. Concentrated at
a glance inspection. Rentrop bucket seats
with head -rests provide sure hold round fast
bends. Sports steering wheel. firm grip. easy
to hand le. The instrument panel is finished
in red. set against a dazzle-free black background- a clear and well-defined signal
to the driver. Rev. counter. Speedometer up
to 240 km/hr. Charge-pressure gauge.

The BMW 2002 turbo combines performance

w ith appropriate comfort. The interior and the
seats are fitted for t he wel lbeing and comfort
of the passengers and driver. Relieved of
tension. the driver can concentrate fully,
making quick and well -con sidered decisions.
Rentrop front bucket seats ensure fatigue-free
travelling. They can be adjusted to every sitting
position and can even be set right back:
yet leaving sufficient room for the other
passengers. The fixed rear seats are made to
leave comfortable leg-room.
Well -designed fittings: Like the wide ang le
doors: side panelling with built-in arm rests:
heating and fresh air system to suit weather
conditions: generous sized boot.
Well -designed fittings: for the fully developed
production li ne vehicle designed with driver
and passengers in mind.

The BMW 2002 turbo body has not on ly

been designed on aerodynamic and aesthetic
lines: other important factors were the
strict BMW safety requirements.

I"

Cross-braked passenger compartment.

.. Crumple" zones front and rear absorb energy
on impact. Firmly anchored seats. Safety
steering assembly. Impact protection on the
instrument panel. Inertia reel safety belts
adapted to the passengers' movements.
Headrests on the front seats. Adjustable inside
driving mirror. In addition to these passive
safety features the BMW 2002 turbo is
equ ipped with the maximum of active safety
features: an engine w ith pa ramount accele ration. A safety chassis t hat hand les sudden
swerves safely. The cent rifuga l force when
rounding bends is easi ly coped w ith - up to
80 per cent of t he car's weig ht. A dua l twin
circu it braking system wh ich, even wi th the
failure of one brake cylinder. is far above
the lega l requirement. All round vision.
Functional instruments. All this is complemented by effective and safe lighting: halogen
headlights and rectangular 4 chamber
rear lights.

Active safety
1. The powerful eng ine with its inherent
quiet runn ing. ensures driver alertness.
shortens recovery manoeuvres and keeps
accident risk to a min imum.
2. Suspension.
The BMW c hassis has become an ideal
example even in critica l situauons. it al lows
correction of driving errors.
3. Steering.
The accurate steering has been developed
to suit all driving situat ions. Safer directional
hold even over surface bumps.
4. Brakes
The dual twin -circuit brake system with brake
servo; large. internally ventilated disc brakes at
the front. reinforced drum brakes and a
pressure limiter at the rear ensures braking
va lues far above the lega lly prescribed
standard. even if one ci rc uit should fai l.

5. Tyres

The wide. belted tyres size 185/70 VR 13

keep the optimum. highly tun ed and powerfu l
machine safely on the road.

6. Cockpit design
BMW has fitted out the passenger compartment according to the strict standards of
functional design. Operational safety, spontaneous instrument reading, safe driving by
anatomically accurate seat positioning. All
these details are the result of years of research
and combine to give the highest degree of
motoring safety.

Passive safety
7. Safety compartment
The passenger compartment is particularly
sturdy and rema ins almost undamaged in any
type of accident. The doors stay closed on
impact yet can be opened after an accident.
8 . .. Crumple" zones
Nose and tail form crumble zones that absorb
energy on impact. Steering column and
steering box are situated outside the damage
area . In this way, the backward movement of
the steering column is reduced to a minimum.
9. Steering assembly
The sure-grip and small diameter steering
wheel is soft-padded.

10. Safety belts

The BMW 2002 turbo has standard 3 point
inertia reel safety belts at the front.

11. Head-rests
Standard, height adjustable head-rests in f ront
protect the neck and spinal column.

Extras
Sports extras:
5 speed gearbox, light alloy sports wheels
6J x13 H 2 (in preparation).
Safety extras:
Laminated windscreen, heated rear window,
headlight wipers/washer, rear seat belts,
Halogen fog light or additional Halogen headlight tail fog light second wing mirror.
Other extras:

operated, tinted windows, various types of radio,
polaris meta llic paintwork, lockable glove
compartment lockable petrol filler cap.

The ,,BMW Programmtest " is also carried out

on the BMW 2002 t urbo by means of 2 standard built-in electronic contacts: inspection of
the entire electric circuit and all electrical units.
Assessment of motor coefficients, i. e. ignition,
dynamic supercharge, exhaust. The results
are gathered in an inspect ion report the BMW Electronic Test Sheet: an indispensible basis for optimum and individual
tun ing of the engine.

The turbo -charger is not complicated and

needs no add itional service. The reliable
inspection and service on the BMW 2002
turbo is as problem free and timesaving as the
supply of original BMW parts. The BMW 2002
turbo coordinates w ith BMW-service.

For sheer driving pleasure.

BMW has raised this c laim as its principle.
And with the BMW model range 1602. 1802.
2002. 2002 tii and touring, thetarget of
consistent driving performance was achieved .
Economic dimensions. handling, manoeuvrability, acceleration. and youthful performance:
these features characterise the continually
improved development of the fascinating
models of this successful series.
They have set standards.

Their fascination lies in the understatement

of their quiet superiority. They are more
powerful than larger, easier to handle than
smaller. and more sophisticated than older
ones. Clear cut. logical. without compromise.
The above average performance and
proverbial driving safety of BMWs, condensed
into compact. traffic conscious dimensions,
is the safe concept for the future.
This enables superior participation in traffic
at all times. The result. Sheer driving pleasure.

Plain. clear c ut styling in compact dimensions.

Special leaflets are avai lable for the models
BMW 2002 turbo and BMW 2002 Cabrio.

...

It is the harmony of performance and smooth

running that makes BMWs power unit superior.
The stea lthy power is unfolded in the com bustion chambers, which are laid out as
swirl action chambers : the fuel-air mixture
is swirled evenly and is soft and clean burning for the environment.
This technical know-how provides excellent
acceleration and cruising speeds, with
reserves of power instantly available for
overtaking.And finally, provides for a vitality,
a better condition for t he driver: the high
flexibil ity combines with the vibration-free
rotat ion in the crank assembly, characteristics
which protect driver and material from fatigue.
In add ition to the prevision of the combustion
there is the mechanica l precision of moving
parts. Through careful electronica lly ca lcul ated balance-crank-shaft w ith 5 main
bearings-through overhead cam-shaft and
overhead valves in inverted V-arrangement
BMW realises the ideal principle of the reliable,
economical piston engine with the smoothness of a turbine.
Engines gave BMW their name and recog nition. Experts view BMW power units as th e
best in the world.

Top speed 186 km/h (115 mph).

The chassis matched to the high performance

of t he power unit offers more safety than
BMW drivers require for everyday motoring.
Its design reflects a section of automobile
history. When this started to become generally
accepted. BMW already had ten years
head start in producing from their excellent
chassis. This brilliant chassis which still sets
an example today: independent suspension.
spring struts at the front inclined semitrailing arms at the rear.
The pivots of the semi -trailing arms in the rear
are positioned inclined towards the body:
ensuring accurate lateral adhesion.
The enti rety reflects the care given to the
details. BMW chassis offer the d river the safety
to react calm ly even on difficult cornering.
They guarant ee maximum road-holding
and sensitive contact with the road.
The steering geometry of the spring strut axle
reduces the sensitivity of the chassis
to damage from bad road surfaces. and
neutralises developing centrifugal forces,
on even the sharpest corners.
The safety of the brakes conforms to driving
safety standards. A duplex twin-circuit brake
system with disc brakes in the front and drum
brakes in the rea r ensure that the braking
effect is sti ll above the legal requirement.
even if one circu it fails. The brake servo makes
braking noticably easier.
This elaborately detailed input and t he f ine
tuning of one group of elements to another,
expla ins the exemplary steering, braking, and
driving characteristics. in every situation.
on every road, at any speed.

1 Power Unit
The powerful power unit with its inherently
smooth running conserves the fitness of the
driver and reduces overtaking manoeuvres
and accident risk.
2 Suspension
The BMW safety chassis has become
an example. Even in critical situations it allows
for the correction of driving errors.
3 Steering
The exact steering can cope w ith any driving
situation. Safe. un-erring. straight runn ing .
even when obstructed.
4 Brakes
The duplex twin-circu it bra ke system w ith
brake servo gives sufficient braking effect.
even on the failure of one circuit. to exceed
the legal req uirement
5 Tyres
Tyres. chassis. and power unit are balanced
with the utmost care for optimum road- holding
and highest comfort
6 Layout of the Cockpit
BMW lays out the interior according to the
strictest lines of functional design. Operating
safety, spontaneously legible instruments.
safe piloting thanks to the body-contoured
seating.
All these details are the result of year long
research and together add up to maximum
driving safety.

Passive safety

7 Safety Cell
The passenger cell is specially rigid and
remains almost undamaged in any kind of
accident The doors remain closed on impact
However, they can be opened after an
accident
8 Crumple Zones
Front and rear form the crumple zone which
absorb the force of the impact Steering column
and steering gear lie outside the deformation
zones. Through this, the forward thrust of the
steering column is reduced to a minimum.
9 Steering System
The boss of t he 4 spoke safety steering wheel
deforms at minor impact
10 Safety Belts
As standard. BMW fits 3point anchorage
safety belts in the f ront
11 Headrests
Heigh adjustable headrests in t he front fitted
as standard protect the neck.

The functiona l comfort of the small BMW

is shown in the cockpit. The comfortabl e seats
are body-contoured. They give rigid lateral
support when cornering, immediate driving
awareness. consciousness of t he contact
between chassis and road, and conserve the
energy of the driver on long journeys.
The front seats are reclining. Their headrests
and 3point anchorage safety belts (with
automatic winder if required) are part of the
standard comfort-safety equipment.
The bench seat in t he rear. with bucket-shaped
backrests. offers the comfort of individual
seating. The touri ng models have single
seats which can be folded down.
All controls are easy to reac h. The round
instruments (in the 200 2 tii, enhanced by
a rev. counter) are large, clear and anti -dazzle.
whilst the tel ltale lights for oil pressure, hand
brake, fuel reserve. choke, hazard warning
lights, battery charge, direction indicator
and high beam. can be seen in a single glance.
The accurately adjustable warm and fresh air
ventilation is supported by a three speed
high performance fan.

The BMW touring has the largest interior

of this model range. The backrests of the rear
seats can be fo lded down individua lly and
fastened in this position with a single operation. Thus producing a horizontal, carpeted.
loading area.
The extra room can be used in many different
ways, for sport and leisure. For hunting,
fi shing, sailing, skiing, camping, cycling,
for holidays. for business. and for a large family.
The weight of the third door in the rear
is balanced by means of a gas pressure spring.
enabling the door to be moved easi ly.
As standard al l touring models are equipped
with heated rear window.
The fastback reduces air resistance:
the touring is not an estate car. but a sporty
though family-minded alternative to the
conventional saloon. It is available in three
versions.

BMW builds cars for t he individua list. Therefore. BMW offers a ra nge of special optional
equipment w ith which the driver can equip.
accentuate or complete his car in accordance
with his ind ividual taste.

voted the best sports sedans in the world.

Form

At BMW, f orm beg ins w ith funktion. The car

must be shaped in a way t hat will contribute
to its performance, handling, and safety.
The resultant appearance pleases the discerning eye because it is a frank statement of
purpose. Handsome because it is technically
superior. Sleek because of the compactness
of its dimensions.

The contours of the 2002 and the 2002 tii

are aerodynamically sound. The belt line is
low, so as to bring down the center of
gravity and at the same time provide liberal
al l -aroun~ glass for maximum visability.
Design accents are a further expression of
the true performance car. Th e rad iator grill
is matte black. The 5-inch sport w heel-rims
have chrome covernuts and hubcaps.

Powerplant

The Bavarian Motor Works has maintained

its position of leadership in engine design for
more than 50 years. In the 2002 and 2002 tii
powerplants. BMW has achieved an extraordinary blend of high performance and
smooth. quiet running.
This is due chiefly to the fact that these
engines employ swirl-action. hemispherically-shaped combustion chambers. These
fan the fuel -air mixture evenly and concentrate it around the spark plugs. The combustion thus produced is remarkably com plete. resu lting in maximum power yield and
extremely clean burning. This in turn makes
possible bril liant respons iveness at any
speed. It also results in excellent fuel economy.
Complementing the highly efficient combustion systems are the engines' ruggedness and
durabi lity. Their design features an overhead
camshaft and inclined overhead valves in
V formati on. They achieve an optimal
ba lance of masses through the use of five
main bearings supporting the crankshaft.
BMW engines have earned their reputation
t hrough th e atta inment of an ideal combination of characteristics: they combine the
smoothness of a turbine with the dependability and efficiency of a piston engine.

Maximum torque 106 ft/lb
(SAE J 245) at 3.500 rpm.
Acceleration from 0 to 60 in 12.8 seconds.

Maximum torque 127 ft/lb
(SAE J 245) at 4.000 rpm.
Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph in 9.9 seconds.

Suspension

Safe driving at high speed is chiefly a matter

of suspension . BMW has developed a system
that is unexcelled in its ability to provide
surefooted roadholding.
This system is fully independent at all four
wheels. It features spring struts in front. with
eccentric displaced coil springs, trail ing
links, and hydrau lic sh ock absorbers.
Th e struts are inclined to the rear.
Axle pivot inclination reduces the castor
angle. This increases the negative camber of
the outer wheel when the car is turning,
thus providing greater latera l stability.
Spring and control-arm shaft are seperate.
This makes steering easier, even with wide
tires. Spring travel is 6.7 inches.
The rear axles are multijointed. Suspension
is on semi -trai ling arms. Telescopic shock
absorbers and coil springs are combined
with forward -inclined spring struts. Spring
travel is 6 .7inches.
On a mountain road or a superhighway,
BMW roadholding is outstanding.
Brakes
Stopping pow er is obviously of critical importance in a high-performance car. The BMW
2-liter series is equipped with an extremely
effective brake system.

It features d iscs in front. drums in the rear.

all servo assisted.
While most cars today use a simple system
employing one hydraulic system on the front
wheels and one on the rear. this wasn't
good enough for BMW. Instead, we developed a dual twin circuit brake system.
In the BMW system, t he first circuit acts on
all four wh eels. If the first circuit should fail,
th e second circuit will still provide 75% of the
car's braking power.
Superior brakes are one more example of the
ref inement BMW has achieved in automotive
engineering.

Safety
At the Bavarian Motor Works, no phase of
engineering development has a higher
priority than safety. Ours is a constantly on going program of innovation, testing, and
improvement.
As a resu lt. the new 2-liter BMW's are
equipped with a board range of safety features, both active and passive.

,I .

By active safety we mean. of course, the

abi lity of the car to avoid an accident. Among
such features are:
1 Engine.
W ith its brilliant acceleration and great
power reserves. the BMW 2-liter provides the
driver w ith a wide safety margin on wh ich
to draw. When he needs instantaneous
response. he has it.
2 Suspension .
Fully independent suspension provides
remarkable roadhold ing and extreme agility.
No other car today is more sure-footed.
especially rapid evasive action becomes
necessary.
3 Steering
Worm and ro ller mechanism is quick, positive.
and light to the touch. with exceptionally
good road fee l.
4 Brakes.
Servo-assisted d iscs up front with drums in
the rear provide great stopping power. Dual
twin circuit system. If the first circuit fails.
75% of braking ability is retained.
5 Tires.
Radial ply construction fo r unsurpassed
dependability and adhesion to any road
surface. More rugged and longer-lived.
6 Cockpit design.
All controls with in easy reach . No unnecessary driver movement. Glare -free instruments
are instantly readable.
By passive safety BMW means those
features whi ch protect the car's occupants
when an accident is unavoidable:
7 Passeng er com partment.
Extremely rigid, with specially constructed
cross-braces. Doors rema in shut in a co llision
yet can be opened afterward.
8 Crush zones.
Front and rea r. Convert col lision energy into
pre-calculated deformation of metal. Fuel tank
is under th e trunk floor. protected by the
spare wheel.
9 Steering equipment.
Located behind the front axle support. so that
the steering column ca nnot penetrate deeply
into the car in case of co llision .
10 Safety belts.
Standard. 3-terminal design, with automatic
reel retraction.
11 Headrests.
Standard in front.

j_

Cockpit
The BMW 2002. 2002 tii series are fast.
highly maneuverable automobiles. Therefore
the cockpit is laid out with the same objective
that characterizes all other aspects of the car:
efficiency.
The instruments are large, round. and glarefree. Readable at a glance.
The steering wheel is a sporty four-spoke.
with padded center.
All controls are immediately within the
driver's rearch.
The short-throw shifter is directly at hand.
There is no distraction. No waste motion.
This car is bu ilt for the driver. The man w ho
wants high performance. but with the sure
knowledge that he is completely in command.
Comfort
The interior of the BMW 2002. 2002 tii provides plenty of leg. shoulder. and headroom
for both driver and passengers. So efficient is
its space engineering that. for a car of its size.
its roominess is surprising.
Outward visibility is excellent in all directions.
thanks to unusually large windows.
The seats have been orthopedically designed
to minimize fatigue on long trips. and to
provide firm lateral support during cornering .
Seating position can be exactly adjusted to
individual needs. and the front buckets have
fully recl ining backs.
Warm and fresh air ventilation can be precisely regu lated. and is supplemented by a
powerful fan which can be regulated through out a range of speeds.
Headrests in front. and three-terminal seatbelts with automatic reel retraction. are
standard equipment.
The cockpit and the entire interior of the
BMW 2D02. 2002 tii are clearly designed for
sport. for safety, and for comfort. And above
all. for total driver control.

Optional Equipment

The following optional features. available at

extra cost. make it possible to individualize
the 2002. 2002 tii while fully retaining all
of the car's essential character:
Automatic transmission (2002 only).
AM/FM radio.
Tachometer (standard on tii).
Manual or electric sunroof.
Metal lic paint.
Light al loy w heels.
Torsion bar stabilizer (standard front and rear
on tii) .
Steel-belted radial tires.

Standard Features

A multitude of factors contribute to the joy of

owning and driving the BMW 2002, 2002 t ii.
Not the least of these is the car's extensive
list of standard features, some of which are:
Fully carpeted passenger compartment.
Skai upholstery.
Headrests in front.
Automatically retracting seat belts.
2-speed windshield wipers, with automatic
washers.
Speedometer with odometer and trip mileage
indicator.
Electric clock.
Automatic headlight shut-off connected to
ignitiqn switch. Seven conven ient storage
enclosures throughout passenger
compartment.

Service
Now BMW owners can enjoy rapid routine
servicing, perfect engine tuning, and pinpoint accuracy in the diagnosis of possible
problems. This is because all BMW automobiles are equipped with two electronic
contacts, one on the body and one on the

engine block. As a result at BMW Electronic

Centers regu lar inspections have never been
quicker. nor trouble-shooting more precise.
BMW service and original spare parts are
available coast to coast in the United States,
and in over 100 countries around the w orld .

The small step up to

the 1502 is the great
leap forward to BMW
Regardless of size and
equipment, every BMW car is
a harmonious combination of

performance and sophistication, with a high level of automotive technology forming the
basis for safety and economy.
The most compact interpretation of this indisputable concept is theBMW1502-a somewhat smal ler large car rather
than the larger small cars
produced by so many ot her
manufacturers.
The BMW 1502 offers excellence in engine and chassis,

in bodywork, equipment and

safety at attractive terms. It
does not1n any way detract
from the pleasure of being a
BMW owner, if anything it increases the pleasure of becoming one.

The BMW 1502 has long

elegant lines and a harmonious
balance between bodywork
and window area: a shape in
tune with today- clear, unfussy
and timeless.
The rubber protective strips
that runt.he length of the car at
bumper height are not only for
protection, but also emphasise
the car's dynamic contours.
The characteristic BMW
appearance is comp leted by

the matt black radiator grille

with its kidney-shaped BMW
symbol and the headlights.
Reversing lights are incorporated into the four section rear
lights. The BMW 1502
represents the culmination of
many years of model refinement - a thorough ly modern,
forward-looking overall design,
mature, reliable, economical
and longlasting.
The BMW 1502: a car with

the supreme standards of

qua Iity we have come to
expect from BMW.

BMW1502 comfort:
The formula for the reduction of physical and psychological
strain on the driver.
Making mistakes while driving is not so much a question
of good and evil, but simply of
human fall ibility. With a BMW
1502, you buy extra reserves in
the suspension system, the
eng ine and the brakes that help
to avoid mistakes by making
them more controllable. You
also buy a total system of driving comfort and th is further
helps to reduce errors. The
demands that a BMW 1502
makes on its driver are minimal. lnthiswayhe has as much
freedom of action as possib le
and can make his decisions in
a relaxed , alert manner.
The comfort of the BMW 1502
is the result of careful research

The BMW 1502 has plenty

of easily accessible spaces to
put things on journeys: in the
glove compartment, on the
instrument panel and in the
central console.
The BMW 1502 has an intensive , finely adjustable heating and venti lation system,
which can be supplemented

by a 3-speed blower.
It is just as pleasant to be a
passenger in the BMW 1502 as
it is to be the driver. The relationships between travelling
and sitting comfort, visib ili ty
and seat arrangements have
been thought through to ensure
a comfortable journey for all
occupants.

BMW1502 safety measures:

Mature, systematic safety measures
with no light-weight compromises.

The active safety of the BMW 1502:

Reserves of power in engine and chassis.

,.,

The BMW 1502 has 1573 cc and

develops a maximum output of
55.2 kW (75 BHP DIN) at 5800 rpm.
This accelerates the BMW 1502
from 0 to 100 km/h in 14.3 s.(O to 60
mph in 13.8s.)Topspeedis155km/h.
(96 mph)
This impressive development of
power is the result of intensive technical and practical research work.
An example of this is the hemispherical swirl action combustion
chamber. This ensures intensive,
silken-smooth combustion of the
fuel and air mixture.
But the BMW 1502 engine is not
only noteworthy for its powerfu l
elegance, its flexible torsional and
tractive power - the final proofs of
its worth are its total reliability, the
result of years of refinement, its
long life expectancy and in particular its economy - it uses standard

grade petrol.
The BMW 1502 chassis is a form
of technical life insurance at al l
speeds. Its special design - front
spring struts, rear semi-trail ing arms
- is one of the most efficient in the
world. It combines precision at
high speeds and excellent road
adhesion with comfort and sophistication.

The position of each wheel adjusts itself in accordance with a predetermined pattern to every road
and traffic situation. The result: the
best possible lateral guidance and
optimum road holding under all
conditions.
The BMW 1502 has a dual circuit
brake system with brake servo, front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.

The bodywork of the BMW 1502

is both passenger compartment and
safety cell. It is designed so that in
any accident the impact forces are
absorbed by the col lapsible zones
and the passenger compartment
safety cell remains unharmed.
BMW have conducted an extensive series of crash experiments to
determine the exact time relationship between impact, vehicle

deformation and the effectiveness

of the car's safety measures, and to
test and perfect these safety
measures.
The result of this systematic work
is the ideal combination of safety
measures for a car: the 'BMW Life
Preservation System' : a considerable number of carefully planned
inaividual measures which complement each other in a log ical and
sequential way.

1. Collapsible, impact-absorbing
front and rear sections.
2. The bonnet buckles upwards in a
pre-determined manner, absorbs
impact forces and does not damage
the windscreen.
3. Specially designed universal joint
tunnel and rigid bulkhead : the
engine and transmission cannot
penetrate the passenger compartment.
4. Doors with safety locks.
5. Three-point seat belts and height-

adjustable head restraints at the

front.
6. Safety steering system, steering
wheel with large padded central
boss.
7. Instrument panel layout
progressively impact-absorbing and
systematically padded.
The perfect safety of a BMW
cannotbe cheap. But even the most
expensive safety measure is cheap
compared with )'Our life.

The BMW 2002.

A unique combination of the car you really want
and the car you really need.
There is an obsolescence
built into most cars - and most
particularly small, practical
fam ily sedans - that has
nothing to do with the way
they 're built.
It's called bored om. And it
has to do with the w ay they
drive .
Most cars simp ly are not
built to perform in such a way
that driving becomes an end
.- not merely a means of getting somewhere.
The BMW 2002, on the other
hand, is.
If a single generalization
could be made to describe all
BMWs, it would be that each
is a unique combination not
only of the refined luxury you'd
expect in a costly European
car, but also of the extraordinary performance you'd
expect on ly in a sports car.
In a time when the concept of
the automobi le has taken many
irrelevant side roads, BMWs
are built to be finely tuned
machines. A unique harmony,
if you will , of performance,
safety and comfort.
In an age of mass produced
status symbols, marketing
wizardry and styling breakthroughs, the engineers at the
Bavarian Motor Works , in
Munich, Germany, concentrate
on bu ilding the best driving
machines it is physically and
technically possib le to bui ld.
And the resu lt? Perhaps
Motor Trend magazine p ut it
most succinctly when they
wrote, "The reaction to a BMW
is always the same. The first
time driver takes the wheel and

after a few miles no other automobile like this will ever be

quite as good again".
St):'.ling, functional not
frivolous.
The eng ineers at the
Bavarian Motor Works did not
invent the phrase,
"form follows function".
But, as Motor Trend magazine put it, "Among all the
world 's automakers, BMW is
perhaps the foremost practitioner of the philosophy".
There is nothing on a BMW
that does not contribute in
some way to performance,

safety, or comfort.
No concession to passing
fads or fleeting fashions.
Its shape is c lassic, uncompl icated, and aerodynamically
sound. Its be lt line low, to bring
down the center of gravity and
provide an astonishing amount

of visibility in all directions.

In front , a matt-black kidney
shaped grill, characteristic of
all BMWs.
And in the rear, an oversi zed four section tail lighting
system that makes the 2002
extremely visible at great distances.
Construction, Qainstaking.
The BMW is not produced
on a typical assembly line.
In fact, it takes as long as
three full days to complete a
single car.
Each car goes through an
arduous process of painting,
hand examination, sanding

and repainting. Not just once,

but as many times as is necessary to arrive at a perfect end
result.

Inside the BMW 2002, you will find no

The interior, engineered not decorated.

WhenyoudriveaBMW2002,
you will experience a curious
sensation of being a part of the
car itself. A unique feel ing of
total and complete control .
If your realm of experience
has been confined to conventional domestic sedans, this
feeling will be new to you.
But, be assured, you are not
imagining it.
It is, in fact, one of the things
BMWs are most famous for.
In Germany, it's called " speedfeel'' - the feeling that the
cockpit is a calm eye in the
center of the hurricane.
Part of the explanation for
this phenomenon lies inside
the car itself.
While the interior of the average car is decorated by sty1ists, the interior of a BMW is
designed by engineers.
Careful study has been
made of the interaction between seat location, visual position, steering wheel , pedals,
and controls.

Consequently, you will find

nothing placed in-or on - a
BMW merely for the sake of
opulence- but totally engineered to prevent driver fatigue and make human driving
error easily and safely correctable.
All seats have an orthopedically molded shape that provides firm lateral support in tight,
high speed curves.
All individual seats are fully
adjustable with reclining back
supports.
All instruments and controls
are perfectly and precisely
positioned.
What's more, the interior of
the 2002 has been designed to
make the maximum use of
space. It does not make a
mockery of the word "sedan".
While on the outside it is
considerably smaller than conventional domestic sedans actually the ideal city car - on
the inside there's no sacrifice
of room. No cramping of

knees. No squashing of heads.

And in the trunk, where
small cars are usually smallest, there's sufficient space for
more than a modest amount of
luggage, golf clubs, and what
have you.
Extras:
The following extras (available at additional charge) will
allow you to equip your
BMW 2002 according to your
individual preferences - to
add an accent here and there
-without changing the basic
character or functionality of
the automobile.
Automatic transmission.
Limited slip differential.
Tinted glass all around.
Air-conditioning unit with
tinted glass all around.
Radios of various types.
Tachometer.
Steelsunroof: manual or electrically operated.
Metallic paint.
