Huh??? I would consider it one of the worst from BMW. Going back to the era but can tell you it was one of the worst cars I've owned. To begin with, I remember the heater and dash controls were in constant repair. Drive shaft joints problematic, leaking rear trans seals and the worst being the engine oil pump. They hardly had oil pressure at idle and the dealers (yes, plural) told me it was normal. But by the time mine had just some 30,000 miles the oil press. light was constant on at idle... again was told it was normal AND confirmed by BMW. I sold it soon after. A few years later I talked to the buyer and he told me that the car blew up in just a few months after purchase.
The one I wish to have kept was a '66 2000 tiLux. Similar and the same color to this stock photo. Nicely appointed trim and carbed for a bit more power. It was only 10 hp down vs. the injected Tii.
