The 2002 tii Turbo is my hands-down favorite classic BMW.

One day I will have a 2002 Turbo sitting next to my e30 in my garage and I will have to spend 30 minutes trying to decidewhat I should drive.

What is it strange? I'm not sure BMW has ever made a 5-cylinder, outside of aircraft engine, maybe. The I5 is Audi's historical favorite.

I suppose it was strange to me in terms that they are pushing ahead with a modular 500cc per cylinder approach with 3 cylinder engines now on the horizon. Often the downside of the 6 is the heavier front end, yet the 4s never sound as good or as smooth. A compromise for a performance model could have been a 2.5 5 cyl that is all I meant. I do like the note of the focus ST 2.5 5 Volvo engine. |

5cyl is heavier than 4cyl. and not run so smooth and rev up so fast than 6cyl. because need balance shaft. Not very good platform and either it´s not ligth weigth. I wound 2.5L Audi R5 engine weigth (183kg), Bmw I6t weigth 190kg.

Love nostalgia. I hope the new 2 captures the spirit of the original. The 1 series was supposed to be the reincarnation of the 2002 but it really wasn't.

200 plus km on the road with one hand on the steering wheel while talking to the video camera. You got to love those fun loving Germans! 2002 tii was the car that I fell in love with back in the 1970s.

That's probably a little high - they don't want to get too close to the upcoming M3/4
