Hey Tom, great to see informative articles on the iconic 2002! I still have mine, its a keeper. However, it points out a very minor correction to your article: my 2002 Tii is a euro (from Italy) and it is a 1971.

But I do have a BMW historical origin document that identifies it as a 1971. In any case, I love to drive this car, it is light, simple and puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. Stop by Charleston sometime and take it for a drive! Thanks again, I enjoy your magazine every month. Bob Payne (E30 M3, Tii, Z3, E93, F10GT).
I have my 2002 1971 sitting in my garage. It's a magor restoration monstor.
