Common questions
How much does a BMW 2002 tii cost?
A 1971 BMW 2002 tii cost $4,500 new. Over the past 12 months, 10 have sold publicly at a median of $32,618. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $25,200. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $17,228 to $28,980, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1971 BMW 2002 tii worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $25,200, down 1.8% over the past 12 months. That sits below the $32,618 median of actual sales because the estimate weights the most recent results most heavily, and recent sales have come in under the longer-run median. We rate confidence medium: 10 public sales in a year is a thin market, and the spread between them is wide.
Is a BMW 2002 tii a good investment?
It has appreciated 460% against its $4,500 list price. Values are down 1.8% over the past 12 months. Only 38,703 were built. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $10,000 to $52,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The 2002 tii elevated Michelotti's brilliant design with sophisticated Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection, boosting output to 130 horsepower and transforming the driving experience. The 'tii' designation became synonymous with BMW's sporting intentions, delivering 8.7-second 0-60 times and a 118 mph top speed that embarrassed much more expensive machinery. Built from 1971-1975, the 38,703 examples represented BMW's commitment to advanced technology in an affordable package. The fuel injection system was complex but delivered crisp throttle response and improved fuel economy. The tii's performance advantage over the standard 2002 was immediately apparent, making it the choice for serious driving enthusiasts. Today, these represent the sweet spot of 2002 collecting—more performance than the base car, more reliability than the Turbo. Clean, original examples command premium prices as collectors recognize the tii as the definitive expression of BMW's compact performance formula.
