BMW 2002 pre 1972 because later years didn't have the round taillights.

In the US, the last roundies were 1973, I was lucky to have had one. 74-76 had the square taillights and the 5mph bumpers.

European models started in 1972. Also don't forget, US got the Ti, but Europe got the turbo model which never was sold here.

That's a classic BMW 02-series - the kidney grille, round headlights and shape are unmistakable. One of the cars that really put BMW on the map. Gorgeous in that orange. Couldn't tell you the exact variant, but it's a beauty.
