Vehicle Description
This vehicle is located at our Zonhoven Belgium Facility and is
eligible for importation to the United States. Please contact us
for more information. All vehicles are located at our South
Carolina facility unless otherwise noted.The 1600-2, as the first
'02 Series' BMW was designated, was an entry-level BMW, and was
smaller, less expensive, and less well-appointed than the New Class
Sedan on which it was based. BMW's design director Wilhelm
Hofmeister assigned the two-door project to staff designers Georg
Bertram and Manfred Rennen. The 23 cm (9.1 in) shorter length and
wheelbase and lighter weight of the two-door sedan made it more
suitable than the original New Class sedan for sporting
applications. As a result, the two door sedan became the basis of
the sporting 02 Series.Beginning in 1968, a convertible based on
the 02 body was built by Karosserie Baur.The 1600-2 (the '-2'
meaning '2-door') made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March
1966 and was sold through 1975, with the designation being
simplified to '1602' in 1971. The 1.6 L M10 engine produced 63 kW
(84 hp) at 5,700 rpm and 130 N.m (96 lb.ft) at 3,500 rpm. In 1968,
Road & Track declared the US$2676 1600 'a great automobile for the
price'.Our beautiful example was sold new at Auto Becker in Krefeld
Germany on the 3d of december 1968. She made her way to Belgium in
2010 and was last owned by a famous Belgian Racedriver and and also
BMW dealership owner.Still with her original servicebook she is the
one you are looking for.
