The first version of the car that put BMW on the map: a commercial success that has never faded, now firmly established among collectors, with an understated elegance that grows on you as the years go by.

Launched at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1966 as the 1600-2 (the “2” standing for two doors), the 02 series is a shortened version of the Neue Klasse saloon; the 2002 followed in 1968.

This kit is for the early two-door 02 saloons up to 1971: the 1600-2, 1600 ti (from September 1967), 2002 and 2002 ti. The range was facelifted in 1971 and every version was given wraparound bumpers; at the same time the 1600-2 became the 1602 and the 2002 ti made way for the 2002 tii. Our other BMWs (2000 CS, E9, 503, 700…) are on the BMW bumpers page.

304 stainless steel blades, mirror polished and formed from the original bumpers. Lifetime guarantee against corrosion.

All our bumpers are trial-fitted, then given an exclusive hand finish in our Dordogne workshop.

The result is unrivalled quality. Before dispatch, each one is dressed with a file so that no cutting marks or sharp edges remain, then smoothed with fine sandpaper.

This finish is unique to our products: it is our signature and our commitment to quality.

Which 02s does this kit cover? The two-door saloons (Coach): the BMW 1600-2 from 1966 to 1971, and the 1600 ti, 2002 and 2002 ti from 1968 to 1971.

My 2002 is a 1972 car – will this kit fit? No. The 1971 facelift gave every 02 wraparound bumpers, so this kit only fits the earlier cars. For a later 02, call the workshop on +33 7 56 95 43 91; if the model is not in our catalogue, see made-to-measure bumpers.

What is in the kit? A three-piece front bumper, a three-piece rear bumper, two rubber-faced overriders, two covers and stainless steel fixing hardware.

Will I have to drill or modify the bodywork? No – the kit bolts on to the original mounting points, in place of the original bumpers.

My original bumpers are pitted – rechrome or go stainless? A rechrome will generally last five to fifteen years before the pitting comes back; a stainless steel bumper never needs replating and carries a lifetime guarantee against corrosion.

How do I keep that mirror finish? Clean water, car shampoo and a microfibre cloth, plus a metal polish two or three times a year, working along the length of the bumper. Never use wire wool or bleach.
