BMW M10 Engine w/ Kugelfischer Mechanical Fuel Injection & Getrag 5-Speed Gearbox | 1973 BMW 2002tii | 2.0L Inline-Four
Offered here is a BMW M10 2.0-liter inline-four engine paired with a Getrag 232 dogleg five-speed manual gearbox, removed from a 1973 BMW 2002tii acquired by the seller in 2020. This setup represents an authentic, period-correct powertrain for BMW’s iconic 2002tii, known for its precision mechanical fuel injection and durable, motorsport-proven construction.
The engine block is stamped 2780060, corresponding to a 1973 BMW 2002tii, and retains the hallmark Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection system that distinguished the tii from its carbureted siblings.
This complete package includes the intake manifold, throttle body, water pump, fan, distributor, oil sump pan, oil filter assembly, fuel plumbing, and exhaust header, all of which make it an ideal candidate for a period-correct restoration or a high-quality BMW 2002 project.

The Kugelfischer injection system remains complete and externally clean.
The unit has been stored indoors in a dry environment since removal.

Crankshaft rotates freely, with no visible corrosion on external components.
Gearbox shifts smoothly through all gears and is free of case damage or cracks.
Collector Significance
The BMW M10 engine is one of BMW’s most legendary powerplants, serving as the foundation for the company’s motorsport dominance in the 1960s and 1970s — and eventually evolving into the M12 Formula 1 turbo engine that powered Nelson Piquet’s World Championship car.
The 2002tii’s mechanical Kugelfischer injection system made it one of the earliest performance cars to feature advanced, race-derived fuel delivery technology, providing exceptional throttle response and reliability.
Finding a 1973-dated, fuel-injected M10 engine with its original Getrag 232 dogleg gearbox in such complete condition is increasingly rare — making this package ideal for concours-level restorations or collectors seeking authenticity and originality.
