FORT WORTH, TX, July 14, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ — The DFW Car & Toy Museum is excited to announce the addition of the iconic 1974 BMW 2002tii to its esteemed Ron Sturgeon Collection. A defining model in BMW’s history, this meticulously maintained classic showcases the perfect blend of performance, style, and engineering prowess that helped establish BMW as a leader in the automotive world.
The BMW 2002tii was a game-changer in the world of compact sports sedans, and this particular example is no exception.

The rear Bilstein shocks improve handling, giving the car a firm yet comfortable ride that is well-suited for the road. Inside, the refurbished interior offers a blend of modern and vintage elements, including replacement door panels, a European-market dashboard, and an Alpina shift knob. A Blaupunkt Nevada CD stereo with a body-color faceplate, complemented by an aftermarket sound system, ensures that both driver and passengers enjoy a high-quality audio experience.
At the heart of the driver’s experience is the leather-wrapped Alpina steering wheel, which fronts replacement VDO instrumentation, including a 120-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and a fuel-level gauge. These details not only enhance the car’s sporty nature but also make it a joy to drive.
This stunning 1974 BMW 2002tii is more than just a car; it represents an era where BMW refined its identity as the “Ultimate Driving Machine.” With its timeless design, high-revving engine, and impeccable craftsmanship, this vehicle is a must-see for classic car enthusiasts and BMW lovers alike.
