6:23 Looks like it has the (optional)? Nardi steering wheel from Italy. And it appears to have an electric sunroof back then? Check out the rectangular switch where the crank would go.
My answer may be a bit late, but the logo changed in 1963. As the first "Neue Klasse" cars were produced in 1962 there, there are a few cars with the old logo.
Imagine the performance of today's cars if ALL safety and emissions standards were frozen at 1965 levels, but with constant drivetrain, suspension, tire and braking development.
@@billg7205 Pre smog or not, A 60's to 70's Olds with them small block V8 had no change against the 02 series BMWs, and they only had a 1.8L engine. Whereas a Chevy or Olds weight like 5 tons and came with SLOW 3 speed automatics, slower reaction than a manual launch. why are you even comparing a heavy luxury cruiser to a european compact ''sports'' car?
@@hjm2062 You know nothing about cars. Gen II Cutlass was not "like 5 tons". They weighed 3440 lbs with over 300hp. HP per pound the BMW wasn't even close.
The M10 is one of the greatest engines of all time. Overhead chain driven camshaft, hemispherical combustion chambers. In a time when great American engineering brought you pushrod engines with low specific power outputs
My father had 3 of these. Fine cars and we drove trough Europe in these cars. Nice memory's and I stil drive BNW today

I love that jazz song you hear commonly in this video, I'd love to hear a full version, if it exists
It is a song you can find, can't remember its name...
Dave Brubek. Take Five.
@@olegmikhnich6849 Replying all these years later with the right answer... You're the best, man, thanks! :)
6:25 you can only race that BMW if you remove the front bumper before starting.
Awesome looking car. I've always loved this generation BMW. I'd drive one if I could find someone who has a 4 door.
Compare the BMW roundel at 4:32 to the one at 5:35 - it's the older design. Wonder why?

Looks like he just made that unsafe passing maneuver at 5:26!

I think a v8 Olds would have had him off the line, if he wanted to.
A 3 speed boat won't beat a compact car off the line LMAO
@@hjm2062 Pre smog era. The Olds would have destroyed the BMW.

@@billg7205 Go somewhere else with your fat American boats buddy, just because you're a fanboy doesn't mean they're fast 🤡
It is rumour that BMW muscle there way through the DATS automotive company of Germany and took their technology that made BMW What it is today 👴
i like 02. 1500. 1800 bmws
nice
i like it
90 PS !!!
their design resembles a bucket.
I've always found it interesting how BMW sounds in German. The way they say it, it sounds like "BMV".
Was ist so seltsam daran, dass ein deutscher Name deutsch ausgesprochen wird?
Lerne Deutsch, dann kannst auch Du es RICHTIG ausprechen.
@@SaihtamEseiw Er fand es nicht „seltsam“, sondern „interessant“.
Horrible things
Rattly smoking engines
It's was a piece shit on the American roads
@adc cbabiggest overrated pieces off shit rust buckets aswell
exactly. They were overrated. Compare them with the Triumph 2000, Rover 2000, Jaguars of the same era, and the biiieeemveeee is a complete joke.
