Car: 1800 TI
Years Produced: 1964-1966 (see note on production
years)
Production Volume:
The 1800 TI was BMW's first step towards
putting high performance variations of standard engines into the cars of
the new class/'02 series. What had started life as an upright family sedan
with the 1500/1800 cars was given dual sidedraft Solex carburetors, increased
compression ratio and beefed up suspension. This basic formula was to be
extended to the 2 litre engine (2000 TI, 2000 tilux, 2000cs) as well as
the '02 series (1600ti, 2002ti). Of course the theory was extended to the
2000tii, the 2002tii and the awesome 1800 TISA.
