This 1972 BMW 2002tii was purchased by the seller in 1996, from the family of its original owner, and it is powered by an over-bored replacement 2.0-liter M10 inline-four mated to a 320i five-speed manual transmission and a 320is limited-slip differential. Refinished in white over a refreshed blue interior, the car is further equipped with Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, a trunk-mounted battery, 14″ E30 basketweave wheels, and lowered suspension in addition to fog lights, an Alpine CD stereo, a 320i steering wheel, a heater, and reclining front seats. This roundie tii is now offered with purchase and service records, spare parts, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

Factory-finished in Polaris Metallic, the car underwent a color change to white in the mid-1970s and was repainted in the same shade in 2016. The hood, trunk lid, and front fenders have been replaced, and exterior details include fog lights, bright trim, vent windows, and round taillights. The seller tells us there are rough paint-transition lines, the quarter-window gaskets need to be replaced, and there are signs of impact at the right-front bumper mount.

Silver-finished E30 14″ basketweave alloy wheels wear 195/60 Windforce Catchgre GP100 tires mounted in 2016. Braking is provided by power-assisted front discs as well as rear drums said to have been replaced in 2024 along with the wheel cylinders. The car has also been fitted with Suspension Techniques lowering springs, KYB shocks, larger-diameter anti-sway bars, and urethane bushings.

The reclining front bucket seats and the rear bench are upholstered in blue vinyl with textured inserts. The carpeting has been replaced over added insulation, the dashboard has been repaired, and additional appointments include an Alpine CD stereo and speakers as well as a heater. The seller states the center console and the driver’s seat-bottom insert have also been replaced along with the heater box and blower motor. The driver’s seatbelt does not fully retract, there is exposed headliner at the windshield gasket, and the thin chrome accents on the door and side panels have been removed. The passenger-side window rolls down only halfway, the driver-side window is scratched, and dashboard cracks are depicted in the gallery along with headliner stains.

The replacement 320i steering wheel frames a 120-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Additional gauges for oil pressure and water temperature have been added to the center stack along with a cold-start switch. The five-digit odometer shows 28k miles and is believed to have rolled over, with approximately 2k miles added under current ownership.

The replacement 2.0-liter M10 inline-four was installed in 2000. A refurbished radiator with higher cooling capacity was reportedly fitted in 2024, and an Optima Redtop battery is secured in the trunk. The removed engine, included in the sale, has been rebuilt with a 1.0-mm over-bore, a valve job, and a polished crankshaft, and the pistons, bearings, timing-chain tension rail, and oil and water pumps were replaced.

Power is routed to the rear wheels via a replacement five-speed manual transmission sourced from a 1979 320i as well as a 320is limited-slip differential with 3.64:1 gearing. Per the seller, the clutch-line fluid was bled in 2024. The exhaust system has been fitted with a muffler and headers from Ireland Engineering along with an ANSA center section.
