The original 114 series, also known as the 02 series, comprised mid-range vehicles produced by BMW between April 1966 and July 1977. The 02 series rounded off the BMW range at the bottom. It was derived from the New Class 1600 model , but the vehicles were designed as two-door .

There were only four-cylinder models (engine type M10 ) with the designations 1502, 1600-2, 1602, 1600 TI, 1802 as well as 2002, 2002 ti, 2002 tii and 2002 turbo. The first two digits indicate the displacement, except for the 1502, which had a 1.6-liter engine. The development codes are type 114 for the 1502–1802 models, E6 for the touring models, E10 for the 2002 including TI and tii and E20 for the 2002 turbo.

The series was replaced in August 1975 by the first BMW 3 Series ( E21 series ), with the smallest model 1502 still being produced until July 1977.

The 1600-2 was presented at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966. Its unofficial name tag "-2" was only intended to identify the 1600 as the new two-door model from BMW and help differentiate it from the larger four-door sedan ; on the vehicle itself, the model name was only "1600". The first variant of the particularly successful 2002 with a displacement of around 2 liters (see table of model overview) went into series production at the beginning of 1968.

Model maintenance

With the facelift in February 1971, the 1600 (-2) was referred to as 1602. All cars received bumpers with rubber pads that were drawn around the rear and a bumper strip all around. The now two-part dashboard was completely black and the seats and fittings were also changed. Another variant was the 1802 with 66 kW (90 hp).

From August 1973, the vehicles were given a black plastic grille , a flatter kidney grille , perforated steel disc wheels without hubcaps and (with the exception of the Touring) larger, angular rear lights.

At the beginning of 1975, the 1502, designed as a “savings model” with simplified equipment, appeared . It had the engine of the 1602, which now with different pistons and lower compression achieved a maximum output of 10 hp less than the 1602, but could be driven on regular gasoline. The most important external distinguishing feature of the 1502 compared to the higher versions was the lack of a surrounding decorative strip. Furthermore, certain equipment elements such as the front vent windows or five-inch-wide perforated disc wheels were subject to a surcharge on the 1502.

BMW 1600 ti, 2002 ti, 2002 tii

The abbreviations "ti" (Turismo Internazionale) or "tii" (Turismo Internazionale Iniezione or "Injection") designate the more powerful versions of the M10 engine in the BMW 02. There were three variants:

• The first model appeared in the summer of 1967, the 1600 ti, which rolled off the assembly line by the end of 1968. Its 1.6-liter engine developed 105 hp (77 kW).
• The 2002 ti had a 120 hp (88 kW) engine with a displacement of two liters. It was published in mid-1968 and remained in the program until spring 1972.
• The last stage of evolution was the 2002 tii introduced in spring 1971. Its engine also developed 130 hp (96 kW) from a displacement of two liters.

The ti models have 40 Solex - dual carburetors , 2002 tii and 2002 turbo have an engine with mechanical ball Fischer-fuel injection , as at that time even when Peugeot was used or in racing was used, there but usually in conjunction with a Einzeldrossel- or flat slide system instead of the standard throttle valve.

BMW 2002 turbo

The model developed under the code BMW E20 with a maximum engine output of 170 hp (125 kW) was (even before the Porsche 911 Turbo ) the first mass-produced German car with an exhaust gas turbocharger .

The BMW 2002 turbo , which was presented in the autumn of 1973 in the middle of the first oil crisis , was immediately criticized in public for its high fuel consumption, as well as for the turbo 2002 lettering , which the press dubbed "war paint", on the front spoiler in mirror writing has been. A rear spoiler was also part of the equipment.

From September 1973 to November 1974, 1,672 vehicles were produced, which were only available ex works in the BMW colors Polaris metallic (silver) and Chamonix (white). In today's purchasing power and currency, the price of 20,780 DM demanded at the end of production in 1974 currently corresponds to a total of 29,500 euros.

BMW 1600 Cabriolet, 1600-2 Baur Cabriolet, 2002 Baur Cabriolet

The completely open BMW-1600-Cabriolet (type BMW 114 C) was designed by Baur in Stuttgart for BMW and built there from the beginning of 1968 to autumn 1971.

There were two convertible versions of the 02: a full convertible and a convertible with roll bar, also known as a Targa. The cabriolet was available as the 1600-2 with a 1.6-liter engine 63 kW (85 PS) and as the 2002 with a two-liter engine and 74 kW (100 PS).

As in the previous year with the BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage , BMW presented the 02 Hommage at the Concorso d'Eleganza on Lake Como in 2016. This quotes the simple round headlights and the mirror-inverted turbo lettering on the front spoiler.

BMW Touring

From spring 1971 there were also hatchback variants with all engines with the exception of the 1502 and 2002 turbo with the names BMW touring 1600 , touring 1800 , touring 2000 and the top model, the touring 2000 tii .

Facelift

With the facelift in August 1973, the model designation changed, the designation touring was no longer placed in front and the type designation was appended with the 2 , which is already common with the sedan , so the touring 1800 became the 1802 touring , the touring 2000 became the 2002 touring and from the touring 2000 tii to the 2002 tii touring . The basic model touring 1600 with the 1.6 liter engine with 63 kW had already been deleted at the beginning of 1972.

The touring model was not a sales success, as only 25,827 units were produced from spring 1971 to summer 1974. Only 20 years later, BMW offered a hatchback model again with the 3 Series Compact .

BMW 2002 ti Diana

BMW 2002 ti Diana

A very rare variant is the so-called 02 Diana . On the occasion of his wedding to Diana Körner in 1970, racing driver Hubert Hahne had twelve 2002 ti rebuilt, as it were as a wedding present - among other things with double headlights of the BMW 2800 CS , leather interior, special Italian aluminum wheels. Each of the twelve copies was painted in a different color.

Over the years, the whereabouts of most copies of this small series could no longer be clarified - it can be assumed that some owners of one of these copies believe they are driving a simply converted 02 without realizing that they have one of the rarest 02s their own (Verification of the chassis numbers on the website of the BMW 02 Club e.V., see web links).

At the moment four surviving Diana are known, including a Diana Cappuccino.

BMW 1602 electric

BMW developed the 1602 Elektro for the 1972 Summer Olympics . Development began in 1969 with two test vehicles. For test purposes, they served as an escort vehicle for long-distance walkers and marathon runners during the games. The energy store consisted of a package weighing 350 kilograms with twelve lead starter batteries under the bonnet, which could be exchanged for a package of charged batteries. This allowed you to drive about 60 kilometers at a constant 50 km / h, in city traffic it was about 30 kilometers. The maximum speed was 100 km / h and the acceleration from 0–50 km / h took 8 seconds.

Sporting successes

The 02 series cars were very successful in racing , especially on the circuit in the German racing championship , but also in rallies , hill climbs and slalom . The series formed the starting point for a number of tuning companies such as Alpina , Schnitzer , Koepchen , GS-Tuning , etc., which contributed to making the 02 series even sportier on the racetrack and on the road. 16-valve cylinder heads on the M10 from Formula 2 (BMW) or a cylinder head specially developed by Schnitzer for this purpose (which was also used in part by Alpina and GS-Tuning), as well as turbo , were used in racing at times -Engines that later led to the 2002 turbo. To this day, some of the vehicles are driven in a sporty manner and used with success at motor sport events such as circuit races , rallies or hill climbs.
