BMW 2200 TI Garmisch

Vehicle Overview

The BMW 2200 Garmisch is a four-seater coupé. Bertone devoted particular attention to the details, especially the large rectangular front headlamps, the linear motif which runs along the wings and the honeycomb-effect covering of the rear windscreen. The car was presented at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show and its sober, elegant styling reveals a new trend set to shape the evolution of Italian design. Design was becoming more concrete, more closely linked to the world of production, a need springing from the difficult conditions facing the Italian automobile industry at the beginning of the 1970’s. Following its reveal at the 1970 Geneva Motor Show, the BMW 2200 Garmisch by Bertone disappeared while on its way to BMW’s headquarters in Munich. It is widely reported that no one knows where the car went, even to this day, as little trail of the model was left behind as well, save for some black and white photographs. Now, however, the BMW 2200 Garmisch Bertone has been recreated using a digital 3D design plan and the memory of Bertone’s former design leader Marcello Gandini. The front of the car showcases two diamond-shaped grilles and thin headlights, while the rear finds the back glass being covered by a geometric cage. Cream-colored leather drapes the interior of the BMW Garmisch to round out the design details.
