BMW 2002 Tii Full Restoration – Video

 

The BMW 2002 tii, exquisite penance for the unrehabilitated car addict. No matter how you try, you can’t help but like it. It is the essence of motoring truth: no strobe stripes, no phony teardrop racing mirrors, no triple turret taillights. Just finely honed machinery in the simplest steel and glass case. And it works. It handles—with the agility of a pro flankerback—and the fuel-injected engine can make the parson breathe hard.
