BMW Uncovered: The 2002 tii — The First Ultimate Driving Machine

Once called “the best way to get from A to B sitting down,” the 2002 tii marked a pivotal moment in BMW’s storied history. Join Tom Plucinsky and Steve Saxty for an inside look at this iconic predecessor to the modern 3 Series. Note: Steve’s mention of ”the very month that car was designed” is accurate for the Bracq-designed facelift sketch shown from the book. The car on set is a pre-facelift 02 Series, which predates that specific design sketch. BMW Uncovered goes beyond the spec sheet for an inside look at the classic BMW models that shaped driving as we know it. With BMW veteran and product authority Tom Plucinsky alongside automotive designer and BMW historian Steve Saxty, each episode blends firsthand experience with deep design and heritage knowledge.
