Summary

The BMW 2002 Ti was half sports car, half family sedan, in any case it was fast and did not have many to fear on the highways of the time. The racing driver and journalist Paul Frère not only owned a copy himself, he also tested the car for the Austrian Auto Revue in 1971 and was generally enthusiastic, despite the criticisms he voiced. In this report, the original wording has been re-edited and illustrated with archive photos from the time.

This article contains the following chapters

120 hp with understatement
More than impressive performance
Tailor-made for the sports driver
Driving pleasure
Pleasant noise comfort
Stiff, solid and reasonably comfortable
Satisfactory equipment

Preview (beginning of the article)

Most of them are orange-yellow, so you can't help but notice them. And the color is not always related to the owner's taste: delivery times are already very long anyway, and if you're in a bit of a hurry - who isn't in a hurry to get behind the wheel of such a fun car? - then you have no choice but to take the car in the color in which the majority of them are produced. I felt the same way, but today I certainly don't regret my decision - if only because even on German highways, where everyone drives on the far left, other road users turn right as soon as they see me in the mirror. And they do well to do so, because my Tl is an Alpina. But we don't want to talk about that here. The others can't see that in the mirror either, and they have every right to respect the standard car.
