Now this makes sense:

Car: 1600ti/2002ti
Years Produced: (see note on production years)
Production Volume:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both the 1600 and 2002 two door sedans were enhanced by ti versions. The ti stood for touring international, and the main distinction was twin Solex two barrell carbs to replace the single one barrell carb that was standard. Both models also came with improved suspensions as well as a clock in the dash board.

Neither car was ever officially imported into the United States because of polution regulations. Significantly, the restrictions against the 1600ti prompted Max Hoffman to suggest to BMW AG that they build the 2002.

Guess that solves that .. TI= Touring International
