Well matured - BMW 1600 in the (historical) test

June 21, 2023 — Jürgen Stockmar 26

Although the increase in displacement and power was quite small, the new 1600 was a much more "grown-up" engine than the previous 1.5-liter. Smooth running and drive comfort in particular benefited from the small increase in size. The four-cylinder engine nevertheless retained typical BMW characteristics such as free-revving and pulling power. And so it continued to match the excellent chassis of the "new class", as this historical test report shows. What's more, the car was now also better finished.

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.

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.
