The One Thing We'd Tell Every BMW 2002 Buyer
“If you buy one 2002 based on this page, buy the best-documented 2002tii you can afford - the Kugelfischer-injected M15 is the sweet spot: 130 hp, mechanical fuel injection, and the most desirable non-Turbo 2002. If the Turbo is calling you, budget for specialist KKK turbo and Kugelfischer restoration - only 1,672 were built, and they're only going one way. On any 2002, a documented M10 rebuild with timing chain and cooling system work is worth more than any service stamp.”

BMW 2002 Frequently Asked Questions
BMW 2002 Frequently
Asked Questions
1How much does a BMW 2002 engine rebuild cost in the UK?How much does a BMW 2002 engine rebuild cost in the UK?
A standard M10 rebuild typically costs £4,000–£6,000 supply only [PATTERN DATA]. A tii rebuild costs £6,000–£10,000+; a Turbo rebuild costs £8,000–£12,000+. Fitting and specialist labour add significantly. Use our calculator for a personalised assessment.
2What engine is in the BMW 2002?What engine is in the BMW 2002?
The 2002 is powered by the M10 - a 1,990 cc inline-four petrol engine. The standard 2002 produces 100 hp; the ti produces 120 hp; the tii produces 130 hp; the Turbo produces 170 hp.
3Is the BMW 2002 engine reliable?Is the BMW 2002 engine reliable?
The M10 is one of BMW's most durable engines - over 3.5 million were produced across many models. However, age-related issues (cooling system, timing chain, Kugelfischer injection) require specialist attention. A well-maintained M10 can last hundreds of thousands of miles.
4How do I know if my 2002 engine needs attention?How do I know if my 2002 engine needs attention?
By issue: rattling on startup (timing chain stretch), uneven running (Kugelfischer injection synchronisation on tii/Turbo), overheating (cooling system deterioration), water in oil (cylinder head cracking). On the M10, any running issue is a warning sign. Caught early, it's a service; ignored, it's a £4,000–£12,000+ rebuild.
5Is it worth rebuilding a BMW 2002 engine?Is it worth rebuilding a BMW 2002 engine?
Depends on the model. Against a £25,000–£40,000 tii, a £6,000–£10,000+ rebuild is 15–40% - a worthy investment. Against a £60,000–£80,000+ Turbo, a £8,000–£12,000+ rebuild is 10–20% - a worthy investment. Against a £10,000–£15,000 standard 2002, a £4,000–£6,000 rebuild is 27–60% - ⚠️ watch on cheaper cars.
