BMW Has Given Its 2002 Hommage Concept A New Lick Of Paint And It Looks Sick
In preparation for Pebble Beach this weekend, BMW has decided to give its 2002 Hommage - which was released in May this year - a new lease of life. They’ve gone for a striking orange and black livery as a stark comparison to the light blue of the original concept, along with ‘Turbomeister’ branding on the doors, bonnet and rear spoiler.
This livery has been applied to celebrate the fact that the original 1973 2002 Turbo was ‘the first series-produced vehicle in Europe to feature turbo technology’. The ‘02 Turbo may have only produced 173lb ft of torque back in the day but it remains a revered classic that has shot up in value in recent years.
The concept car is based upon the M2 chassis but with much shorter overhangs to emulate the legendary classic. The 2002 Turbo is essentially the M2’s Great Grandfather, so there’s a natural lineage with the Hommage’s awesome turbocharged straight-six despite it packing an extra 1000cc over the original car’s 2-litre motor.
We love a novelty concept at CT and especially when it is based upon as quintessential a classic as the BMW 2002. To check out Alex’s test of its Grandson - the M2 - click here.

‘Turbomeister’ means ‘turbomaster’. For those who don’t know it
It’s also a reference to the Jägermeister, from the original livery.
Still not a massive fan of its design
I’m not either. The old 2002 was simple and functional. This is way too fussy.
Exactly. Same with the 3.0 CSL Hommage, but that’s a bit better. Anyway, old one anytime.
why no mention of where they got the livery from? know your classic liveries people.
The black and orange two tone comes from the Alpina cars
Well it’s certainly Failrace approved 👍
looks a bit like a depressed miata with nostrils.
They should make a hommage for me!! Nah!!
That livery is amazing
I’m not a fan of the livery but I really like the look of the car
Now they need to recreate this stunning livery
LOL
“Penis” is written on the left door XD
