Actually the Oldsmobile Jetfire J-85 was first, followed by the Corvair about a month or so afterwards.

And BMW's turbo heritage goes back some time before the 2002 Turbo. BMW Motorsport had been successfully campaigning turbo charged cars in various classes of the European Touring Car Championship from the mid 1960's.
