In autumn 1966, BMW launched the BMW 2000 tilux on the market. This was a model that combined the sporty engine of the BMW 2000 TI with the comprehensive equipment of the BMW 2000. The customer was therefore able to buy the perfect sports sedan, well equipped and comfortable but with the speed of a sports car. The exterior appearance of the new model revealed rectangular headlamps and taillights, as well as generous chrome trim in the guise of the BMW 2000.
