1966 - BMW 1600 - 2 Door Wallpaper for PC

The BMW New Class was a line of compact sedans launched with the 1962 1500. The four-cylinder BMW M10 engine used in these cars grew over the years from 1.5 to 1.6, 1.8, and 2.0 L with the names changing to reflect this.
The New Class models featured a fully independent suspension with MacPherson struts in front and front disc brakes.
The sedan models (with numbers ending in "0") were replaced by the larger BMW 5 Series in 1972. The '02 series is not part of the New Class. The upscale 2000C and 2000CS coupes were replaced by the six-cylinder BMW E9 coupes, introduced in 1969 with the 2800CS.
Although they shared mechanicals such as engines, gearboxes, and differentials, the four-door New Class models shared little else in terms of parts and design with the two-door models.

The 1600-2 or 1602 appeared in 1966 and was sold through 1975. Power output was up to 96 hp (71 kW) gross with 91 ft·lbf (123 N·m) of torque. Road & Track was impressed by the 1968 1602 coupe, calling it "a great automobile at the price", which was $2676.  

A limited-production cabriolet was produced by Baur from 1967 through 1971, and a 2-door coupe version, the 1600ti, featured the dual Solex PHH side draft carburetors (as found on the 1800TI) and 105 hp (77 kW) for 1967 and 1968. A hatchback 1600 Touring model was produced in 1971 and 1972.
