I haven´t seen any mention of BMW. Credit to SAAB for their turbo development (the 9-5 is an absolute marvel) but let´s be honest. Marv Adams sets the record straight: "The (BMW)2002 Turbo was the ultimate development of the 2002. It was built during 1973 and 1974 (though remember that in America this would imply the 1974 and 1975 model years--all non-prototype Turbos that I've seen/heard of have square tail lights), and a total of 1,672 cars were produced. The Turbo extended the development of the 2002tii by adding a KKK turbo charger that increased the horsepower to 170. Suspension, brakes, bodywork and interior were all modified as well."
