The BMW 1600-2 evolved out of the revolutionary Neue Klasse (New Class) of coupes and A.sedans that helped save the German automaker from insolvency after World War II. Smaller, more affordable, and with two doors instead of four, it was livelier and faster than its predecessors, thanks to being lighter. Debuting at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show as the 1600-2—with “1600” referring to its M10 1.6-liter inline four-cylinder engine and the “2” referring to its two-door body—the name would be simplified to 1602 in 1970 The model would remain in production through 1975 in various forms, including a more powerful Ti version as well as a limited-production cabriolet and Touring hatchback. Incredibly popular from the outset, it helped establish BMW’s reputation as a maker of sporty lightweight everyday cars, paving the way for the 2002.
