BMW 2002 ULTIMATE PORTFOLIO 1968-1976 £19.95 This is the story of the charismatic 2002 Series BMWs told through 64 international articles of the period. The BMW 2002 took the motoring world by storm on its announcement in 1968, as not only did it provide the performance-oriented model which was wanted for the USA, but in European guise without the power-sapping emissions-control gear, it offered affordable high performance in a compact and agile package. So popular did the 2002 become that it went on to sell more the 300,000 examples over the seven seasons of its production. BMW capitalised on this success by producing in due course a whole range of other derivatives ending with the legendary Turbo model. The last car rolled off the Munich assembly lines in 1976.
