Summary

The BMW 2000 Coupé was presented at the IAA in 1965 and was eagerly awaited. It combined convenience and purpose, because it not only looked fast, it was also supposed to be fast. The Coupé was available in three versions; this historical test report takes a closer look at the automatic version 2000 CA.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Fortune favors the brave, they say, and BMW managed to be successful with one model. So what could be more obvious than to give the tried and tested engine and finely tuned chassis a more glamorous hood. In addition, many people expected this model in particular to be a continuation of the legendary sporty coupé models. This car was unveiled more than a year ago and was one of the main attractions at the IAA, but its fans still had to wait a long time before they could buy it. The wait was worth it, we think. If you want more than just a fast car to drive, if you also like to combine it with representation, the BMW 2000 Coupé is one of the rare models that is not driven by every wannabe. In an unfortunately rare synthesis, comfort and purpose are combined here. A beautiful car, a good car that is certainly worth its not exactly low price.
