Demands for increased power, not least from the firm's US importer, Max Hoffman, led to the introduction of the 2002 in 1968. BMW's director of product planning, Helmut Werner Bönsch, and Alex von Falkenhausen, the M10's designer, had already had 2.0-liter engines installed in their personal 1602s, and proposed to BMW that the company should build a production model along similar lines. Enter the 2002. The larger, 1,990cc engine produced 100bhp at 5,500rpm in single-carburetor configuration and 120bhp on twin Webers when installed in the 2002TI.
Models available on the 2002 platform comprised a two-door saloon, three-door Touring estate car, and a Cabriolet, the latter with coachwork by BMW's long-term collaborators Karosserie Baur of Stuttgart. An immense commercial success for the German manufacturer, some 349,000 BMW 2002s of all types had been sold by the time production ceased in 1976.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This lovely open-top 2002 is one of just 2,517 Cabriolets coachbuilt by Baur. Featuring a three position top composed of two pieces—a removable targa roof and a folding rear quarter, this is the ultimate expression of wind-in-your-hair motoring combined with the nimbleness for which the 2002 is famous.
Manufactured in July of 1973 and delivered new to Belgium, it was acquired near Leuven by the current owner in 1987 and promptly shipped to the United States making it—then and now—one of the few Baur Cabriolets to make it to American shores. Pictures of the car at the port prior to shipment show it very much in the condition it presents today in Golf Yellow with black interior. Upon arrival in the United States, it joined the owner's collection and was serviced regularly. Laid up for the last seven years, the Bimmer is ready for some recommissioning to bring it back to its former self. Given the rarity of these droptop 2002s, you're all but guaranteed to not see yourself heading the other direction!
