BMW 1600-2
The BMW 1600-2 or 1602 was a 2-door coupe launched in 1966 and went on sale till 1975. This model was equipped with a 96 hp (71 kW) gross engine and 91 ft·lbf (123 N·m) of torque. Road & Track was very impressed by the 1602 coupe and called it "a great automobile at the price". It was powered a dual Solex PHH side draft carburetors and delivered 105 hp (77 kW) for 1967 and 1968. A limited-production cabriolet was produced by Baur from 1967 through 1971 and a hatchback 1600 Touring model was produced in 1971 and 1972.
The 1600-2 shared mechanical systems such as engines, gearboxes, and differentials with the BMW New Class (four-door models) but little else in terms of parts and design. The New Class featured a fully independent suspension with MacPherson struts in front and front disc brakes. The four-cylinder BMW M10 engine found in the New Class models grew from 1.5 to 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 L over the years and the names changed to reflect this. The BMW New Class sedan models (with numbers ending in "0") were replaced by the larger BMW 5 Series in 1972, while the 2000C and 2000CS coupes were replaced by the six-cylinder BMW E9 coupes, introduced in 1969 with the 2800CS.
