Well, what can I say? I am sorry. You were right and I was wrong.
However, TI on a 2002 does make a certain amount of sense as in the '60s a 2002 could, just, have been considered a touring car. You must remember that, although the US had fully auto transmissions, air-con, power steering, and power everything else, Europe didn't and the 2002 was the car that really set BMW on the road to the success it has achieved today.
Again I am sorry.
But finally, we all know what the BMW emblem is (the circle quartered with blue and white), but where does the emblem come from and what does it represent? |  |  | | 11-17-2004, 03:55 PM | #47 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Lafayette, Louisiana, US Posts: 164 |

(like the blue are the wings and the white is the sky...or vice versa). | | | | | 11-17-2004, 04:55 PM | #48 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2004 Location: Ohio Posts: 183 |

Absolutely no problem Sydeshow. It's good to know, once and for all, what it (or should it be ti) stands for and glad you did share it with us. Rachel (BMW318tiChic) can sleep soundly tonight.
Well done ddiorio1313. Spot on. A propeller. From the days before and during WW2 when BMW made aeroplanes rather than cars. Too easy I know. I'll have to think of something better.
Perhaps we ought to close this thread now? | | | | | 11-17-2004, 07:25 PM | #50 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 |

| Exactly right. BMW made aircraft engines first [1917], then motorcycles [1923], and finally cars [1928] . Infact, the first operational jet in the world used BMW engines. __________________

it stands for touring international why ? because the first compacts were the 2000 touring and 2002 touring, they looked like our compacts but were called touring. Pics and info => http://bmw2002.chez.tiscali.fr/html/...02touring.html so the 2000ti(i) or 2002ti(i) weren't the first compacts at least that's what they're writing over here in Europe in their magazines. | | | | | 01-12-2005, 04:13 AM | #58 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Yorkshire Posts: 151 |
just a 2p (or in your case a 2 cents) worth, the badge is in the style of the art decco period, Wonder what it would have looked like if it was designed in the 30's ala C R Macintosh style.
