BMW 2002 at the Josefuv dul Car Show, Liberecky kraj, Bohemia(CZ), 2015
Also called the BMW 02, this car, in several body styles and trims, was produced from 1966 to 1977, with the most famous model being the 1973 2002 Turbo, which specifically came with the 1990cc M10 turbo I-4 engine.

The distinction between an 02 and a 2002 was that a 2002 came with some version of the 1990cc M10 engine, which when rounded, was a 2-liter displacement engine. Given that the specific car in these photos is badged as a 2002, it presumably is a "real" 2002 with the 1990cc engine. However, it isn't clear one way or the other whether this is a turbo.

The original 1973 2002 Turbo prototype had decals to this effect, but production 2002 Turbos didn't have them.

Although the 2002 Turbo had only modest performance, with a 7-second 0-60 time, and a top speed of 211km/h(131 m.p.h.), it was one of the most important cars for establishing BMW as a sports car brand. BMW had already been heading in this direction with the 2002tii in 1968, and the "New series" of sedans in 1966, which the 02 was a downsized version of. Having said this, the vast majority of BMW 2002's lacked either the tii or the turbo package.
