BMW 1600-2 Convertible 1970
General description :
This BMW 1600 convertible left the Bauer factory in 1970. As BMW did not have a lot of experience with selling mass-made convertibles at the time, it left it to the Bauer specialists. How many of the in total 1,692 made are still around is uncertain. They made this “voll-cabriolet” based on the BMW “Neue Klasse” as well as later the world famous Bauer convertibles with roll-bar. We have acquired a very nice example. This car underwent a full mechanical overhaul and complete nut&bolt restoration. It has a “Polaris Silber” finish with blue interior trim. The car is in a wonderfully restored state. The fine bodywork is pristine with correctly aligned body panels. The brightwork is similarly perfect. The unblemished paintwork is very good. Naturally underneath the car it is all rock solid and sound. Mechanically it has received all due attention. All tubes and other perishables have been replaced. When you pop the bonnet, you will immediately be struck by the gleaming engine space. It is not difficult to imagine how it must have felt in 1970 when collecting this BMW 1600 convertible form the dealer. The interior trim is also in very good condition. The carpets have been replaced and the seats re-upholstered. It all looks and feels so well cared for. Is there a better way to meet the sundown on a summers’ evening than in this sleek BMW 1600? This is a car for the enthusiast who rather than tinker, just wants to step in, turn the key and enjoy!

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
