The BMW 2002 and its siblings - sporty, compact and successful

September 23, 2012 — Peter Ruch (Radical-Mag)68

In 1966, BMW presented a compact saloon that would shape the image of the Munich-based manufacturer for years to come, the 1600-2. With four cylinders and two doors, the basis was laid for an entire model family that would eventually include not only a convertible (in various versions), but also an estate saloon (touring) and even a turbo model with 170 hp. The most popular model, however, was the 2002, which offered the performance of a real sports car and still provided space for a small family. This report tells the story of the 1600-2 series up to 2002, highlights some of the vehicles and provides driving impressions behind the wheel of a 2002 touring, illustrated with many pictures from the period.

White and blue Porsche competition - BMW 1600 GT versus Porsche 912

April 16, 2013 — Heinz Kranz 20

In 1967, the magazine 'hobby' compared the BMW 1600 GT, which had just emerged from the Glas 1700 GT, with the model-maintained Porsche 912 from Zuffenhausen. Although they appeared to be completely different, the comparison ended in a draw. This article reproduces the original wording of the meticulously conducted comparison test. The report is illustrated with original photos from the time.

BMW 1800 - Just before five

April 25, 2025 — Paul Krüger 53

The "New Class" from BMW was the five before the five. More than any other German mid-size sedan, it placed particular emphasis on sportiness even in the early sixties. Towards the end of the decade, it may have aged a little visually - but in terms of driving dynamics, hardly any other German brand had anything to offer.
