1972 BMW 2002tii

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 1972 2002tii.

The 1972 BMW 2002tii shows a very sparse reliability record in the available data, logging just one owner complaint and two recalls. That single complaint is categorized under Service Brakes, Hydraulic, which makes it both the top and only reported problem area for this model year. With so few documented issues, the 1972 tii sits at the quiet end of the ownership-history spectrum, so researchers should read its small sample as a narrow snapshot rather than a definitive statement on overall dependability.
