1968 BMW 1600-2

This 1968 BMW 1600-2 has spent its life in California, and had 3k miles when it was purchased by the seller’s father in 1968. It was acquired around 1980 by the seller and was driven over the next 15 years before being repainted white with M stripes and was subsequently used as a display at the seller’s BMW repair shop beginning in the 2000s. It is powered by a 1.6-liter inline-four equipped with 10.5:1 compression pistons and Stahl headers linked with a four-speed synchromesh manual transmission, and the car rides on 325is-sourced 14″ basketweave wheels with Bilstein shocks and E21 brakes. This 1600-2 is now offered with a copy of the window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, spare parts, a car cover, and a clean California title in the seller’s name. Finished from the factory in Bristol, the car was repainted white with tri-color M stripes in 1995. The seller notes that the right front fender was repaired in 1969, and also purchased and installed 1600-2-specific front grilles in the 1980s before they were discontinued by BMW. Some of the clear coat over the M stripes has deteriorated, there is rust behind the right rear wheel, the plastic piece inserted in the windshield gasket is discolored, and other blemishes are shown up close in the gallery.
