A new livery for the BMW 2002 Hommage

For this year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, BMW has given its 2002 Hommage a fresh colour scheme.

Striking orange and black paintwork recalls the Jägermeister-sponsored BMW racing saloons that were a common sight during the 1970s and 1980s. However, current sensibilities about linking alcoholic beverages to driving (or a reluctance to provide free advertising) mean the car wears contrived 'Turbomeister' logos.

BMW first presented the 2002 Hommage at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este back in May. As a modern interpretation of the original 2002, its retro styling features include a forward-leaning 'shark nose' front end, widened wheel arches and an unbroken 'waterline' that runs along the flanks.

Among the other distinctive elements are two single headlights, a rear carbon fibre diffuser and a set of 20” lightweight multi-spoke alloy wheels.

Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
