The BMW 2002 tii’s engine displacement was 1,990 cubic centimetres (1990 cc).
The 2002 tii used BMW’s M10 four-cylinder, overhead-cam petrol engine, enlarged to the 1,990 cc capacity associated with the 2000 and 2002 models. Unlike the regular carburetted 2002, the “tii” used mechanical Kugelfischer fuel injection, helping it produce 130 bhp at 5,800 rpm.
BMW introduced the 2002 tii in 1971 as a sporting version of the compact 02 Series. It combined the light, two-door 2002 body with sharper performance and brisk acceleration, while retaining the model’s classic front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. Production ran from 1971 to 1975, and nearly 40,000 customers bought the model.
The name can cause confusion because “2002” sounds like a precise 2,002 cc measurement. It is a rounded model designation: the actual displacement was 1,990 cc. The same basic capacity also appeared in related 02 Series variants, including the BMW 2002 ti and 2002 turbo.
