When the 2002ti had fuel injection it became a 2002tii. __________________ ...steven

I know it is basically known that it is Touring International, but isn't the term "touring" used by BMW to describe the station wagons? As in 325iT? __________________ RIP

Its the TI for Touring International, as stated..... And as also stated the Touring usually means wagon in BMW terms. Maybe in a sense, our cars are similar to wagons. Neither have trunks, they both have hatch backs. Maybe thats where the similarities lie. __________________
