About the 1973 BMW 2002 Turbo

BMW's first turbocharged production car was a bold statement that nearly killed the company's reputation. The 2002 Turbo's 170 horsepower and 6.9-second 0-60 time made it devastatingly quick, but the primitive turbo technology created massive lag and unpredictable power delivery. The controversial backwards 'TURBO' script on the front spoiler sparked protests about aggressive driving. Only 1,672 examples were built from 1973-1975 before BMW pulled the plug, making it one of the rarest production BMWs. Despite its flaws, the Turbo pioneered forced induction technology that would define BMW's future. The combination of Michelotti's timeless design and groundbreaking technology creates incredible collector appeal today. Values have skyrocketed as enthusiasts recognize the Turbo's historical significance as BMW's first turbocharged car. Finding a clean, original example requires patience and serious money, but owning one means possessing a crucial piece of BMW's technological evolution.
