This BMW 2002 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1972 BMW 2002 is said to have been refurbished between 2019 and 2020 and was acquired by the seller in June 2020. The car is finished in red over a Tobacco upholstery and is powered by a replacement 2.0L inline-four linked with a five-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes 15″ Style 5 wheels, BavAuto springs, front disc brakes, manually-adjustable Recaro front seats, a Cannon intake manifold, dual Weber carburetors, and a Bosal muffler. Maintenance under current ownership included an oil change, adjustment of the carburetor lines, and replacement of the battery. This 2002 is now offered with a car cover, a battery tender, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.
