This 1972 BMW 2002tii is a European-market example that is said to have been owned by noted engineer, industrialist, and racer Wolfgang Denzel. It was reportedly fitted with a replacement M10 inline-four, a dogleg five-speed manual transmission, and Turbo-style bodywork around 2019 before being acquired by the current owner the following year. The engine is said to have been subsequently rebuilt to displace 2.3 liters and modified with a Schrick camshaft, individual throttle-body fuel injection, forged pistons, hardened connecting rods, reinforced valve springs, and enlarged intake and exhaust valves. The car is finished in gray over black upholstery and features a limited-slip differential, 15″ Alpina-style wheels, Wilwood disc brakes, amber headlight lenses, a Zenders rear spoiler, and square taillights. Other details include H&R springs, aftermarket sway bars and shocks, an OMP Racing steering wheel, a short shifter, and front bucket seats with harnesses. This 2002 is offered in the Netherlands by the seller on behalf of the current owner with service records and Dutch registration in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in gray and has Turbo-style bodywork in addition to a Sabelt front tow strap, a Zenders rear spoiler, amber headlight lenses, dual side mirrors, vent windows, pop-out quarter windows, and square taillights. There is a chip in the windshield and rock chips on the wheel arch flares.
Replica 15″ Alpina-style wheels are wrapped in 195/50 front and 205/50 rear Yokohama Advan A052 tires that were mounted in 2020. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes with black Wilwood calipers. Modifications include braided steel brake lines, H&R springs, and Ireland Engineering sway bars and shocks.
The cabin features a pair of front bucket seats trimmed in black vinyl and cloth along with a rear bench seat, front-seat harnesses, a heater, and a push-button radio. A short shifter and a hydraulic emergency brake are installed according to the seller.
An OMP Racing steering wheel with a yellow centering stripe and stitching fronts a 200-km/h speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Readouts for oil temperature, oil pressure, and air-fuel ratio are located in the center stack. The five-digit odometer shows 15k kilometers. According to the seller, the tachometer has been replaced and the speedometer has been overhauled. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement M10 inline-four is said to have been sourced from an E30 3-series and installed around 2019. The engine was reportedly bored and stroked to displace 2.3 liters during a 2021 rebuild, which is said to have also involved machining the cylinder head and installing a Schrick camshaft, Jenvey Dynamics individual throttle-body fuel injection, an Omex Technology ECU, forged pistons, hardened connecting rods, reinforced valve springs, and enlarged intake and exhaust valves. According to the seller, additional work under current ownership included replacing the starter motor, valve cover gasket, thermostat, radiator, battery, intermediate shaft bearing, and spark plugs.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a replacement dogleg five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential that are said to have been installed under previous ownership. The seller notes that the clutch release bearing and several exhaust components were replaced under current ownership.
The accompanying Austrian Typenschein certificate lists registration information as well as identification numbers and various technical specifications of the car.
The vehicle is being sold on its Dutch registration. The sale does not include a title, as the vehicle is registered in a country that does not issue titles for vehicles.
