Cool original German 1600 advertisement and site...

Translation...

"Progress

It seems to be easier in the United States to make wider and longer cars instead of better. Probably because the designated size American automobile magazine Car and Driver wrote of the BMW 1600 as being "... the best midsize car we have ever driven."

Test drive is strongly encouraged."

When comparable American cars of the time were the Chevy Nova, Dodge Dart, Ford Falcon, etc were all called small cars by the press, the interior size of the otherwise small 1600 was astonishing.

What an awesome picture of pre "US VIN" 1967 1600-2s!! Te dark one in the middle there could very well be my Granada.....

Cool site... some ads are apparently for sale.

I got this picture from the BMW website. I think it's the factory electric-powered car that Paul Wegweiser spoke of not too long ago...
