Saw this rare gem at a shop recently...SEE, BMW Motorsport has tons of Turbo heritage to back up the new E8x platform - Boom! Take that. Hahaha.

Love those bucket seats man, Recaro got nothing on this...

Background
The 2002 Turbo was launched at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show. BMW's, and Europe's, first turbocharged production car, the 2002 Turbo produced 170 hp (127 kW) at 5,800 rpm, with 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) of torque. The 2002 Turbo used the 2002 tii engine with a KKK turbocharger and a compression ratio of 6.9:1 in order to prevent engine knocking. The 2002 Turbo was introduced just before the 1973 oil crisis, and 1,672 Turbos were built.
