What Size Wheels Came on a 1600Ti


Recommended Posts

Mike- My Autopress  1600 workshop manual states the 1600 (NK) had 4.5Jx 14 wheels with either 600Sx14 or 165SR-14 radial tyres.

 

It also states “all other models” had 4.5x13 wheels with either 600Sx13 or 165SR-13 radial tyres.

 

Another book includes portions of the 1600ti sales brochure which states 4.5x13 wheels.

 

I have some older road test articles I can review.

They came with 4.5x13 steel wheels just like the standard 2002 from 1967-1973. 
 

The 2002ti however came with 5x13 steel wheels like the tii. 

 

Here is the steel wheel listing for a 1600ti

What were the specs on the 1600ti?  From what I’ve read, the engine had higher compression and the two carbs.  

 

It had front and rear roll bars.  But the brakes were the same as the 1600, except the later cars had bigger rear drums.  

 

Was there any other differences…could you get a dogleg 5 speed?  Were the front brakes different from 1600?  Gearing?  

 

I can’t find a whole lot of info on it - mostly glancing mentions in articles about other things.

 

Cool car Mike!

So much info in the brochure alone!

 

The 1600ti received, as standard equipment, the reclining front seats “introduced” on the 2002. But the date on this brochure, December 1967, pre-dates production of the 2002 — yes, the absolute first 2002 (VIN 1660001) was manufactured November 29, 1967 and a handful of press and test cars in December 1967 — so the 1600ti was available with reclining seats before the 2002 was even available.

 

And I’ve previously noticed, in the parts catalogue, that a 3.90 long-neck differential was available. But I hadn’t a clue it was standard equipment on the 1600ti!

 

And what does “alterations to the valve timing” mean? I’ve long believed that 2002’s, 2002ti’s, and 2002tii’s shared the same camshaft (excepting the mighty 1976 49-state version!). Are they saying that the 1600ti employed a different camshaft than the “plain-old” 1600-2?

 

Too much to consume at once! 😳🎊

 

Best regards,

 

Steve

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
