BMW's entire modern reputation for fuel injection started here — the 2000 tii was the very first fuel-injected BMW ever built.
The 2000 tilux split the difference on purpose: the sportier TI's engine and chassis, wrapped in the plush 2000's styling, wood dashboard and optional leather seats.
BMW's 1800 TI performance upgrades weren't developed in-house — they came from outside tuner Alpina, years before Alpina became BMW's own factory performance arm.
Only 200 examples of this homologation-special 1800 TI/SA were built, sold exclusively to licensed racing and sports drivers - and one won the 1965 Spa 24 Hours.
The New Class sedans that saved BMW from near-bankruptcy hid an odd trick under the hood: the engine was tilted 30 degrees sideways just to get the low, sleek bonnet line the stylists wanted.
