The BMW 2002 turbo was technically ahead of their time, but also marked the beginning of a new automotive era. Both are now up for auction, awaiting true enthusiasts. Under the hood of the BMW is the proven M10 four-cylinder engine, which was combined for the first time with a Kühnle, Kopp & Kausch (KKK) turbocharger in the 2002 turbo.
The result: 170 hp, 240 Nm of torque, and an output of over 85 hp per liter. The mirror-inverted “turbo” lettering on the front spoiler was intended to make it unmistakably clear to the driver in front that it was time to make way. In the 1970s, this was considered provocative. Today, it is one of the most iconic details of the BMW.
