The beginning
The BMW 2002 is a car that needs no introduction. Its status among enthusiasts is legendary, and the standard it set is one that every sporting sedan has had to live up since the 2002 first tore up the roadways in the late 60s.
But, wait, what’s the 1600-2 got to do with all of this? Except for a smaller motor, and a few cost-saving changes that set this “base” model apart from its brother in 1969, the 1600 was actually the precursor to the 2002. What does that mean for you? Well… How can I answer? Look within yourself, child. Know your heart, and you will find the answers you seek.
For me, it just means I will be looking for some extra horsepower and torque wherever I can find it.
