well not so expensive as a ferrari at the time but no ordinary person had money to buy one of these,really confortable you drive it like a sport car ,in the 90´s i used a 1502 from 75 really safe car,does turn very well in tight corners is one of the best compared with new cars you almost seat at groud level ,like i ´ve written it drives like a sport car, i also had the 2002 from 69 they are similar but the younger model is more pointy not so round ,they used to call it shark front ,i do like to see videos from old cars but what happened to the 645i from the mid 70´s really good loking and big with luxuryous materials,like the 520 from 73 that todays is known as 5 series, the 1502 is a 2002 with a 1500 engine like the 2002 is a 1502 with a 2000 engine, like the 1602 it´s 2002 with a 1600 engine get it mr. jay leno

What a beauty. I owned a 1966 230s Mercedes for over 18 years (first car I owned 1989). The look of the BMW 1600 reminds me so much of that 230s car especially the interior and being surrounded by glass with no blind spots. The similarities all make sense because of the year. I couldn't imagine no power steering. What a beautiful car Lisa has preserved.

Ah, I had a 1969 1600 in silver I bought new for $3000 including the optional dealer installed tach (a $90 extra). I took it to Montana in 1973 when I had a summer job in Glacier National Park. No daytime speed limit then! That little coupe would cruise at 90 mph all day long rock solid stable. I put an aftermarket Radio Shack stereo so I could listen to the Allman Bros. That was livin'!

What is amazing here is the fact that under the lid my 1976 316 e21 is pretty the same: M10 engine, alternator, carburettor, radiator and few more other things. Simple stuff that won't let you down. Back then they really enginered things with that actual purpose: reliability, effectiveness and simplicity. For some mad and obscure reasons it looks unthinkable nowaday.

I bought a 68 1600 in 1978 with a blown motor for $400-. Rebuilt with new rings and bearings, drove for 500 miles and seized up again. Realized later that the old oil pump was out of spec. Which is why the engine failed in the first place probably. Love the cars though, had several 02s and 2 tii's 90 325 convertible which got rear-ended, and now back to an 83 320i (1.8 lit). It romps to 5-6k rpm, and is great handling!

My dad bought a 1600 new in 1969. Midnight blue with black leatherette interior for $3,200 including California sales tax. The 2002 was about $400 more. The two liter engine produced about 110 hp, came with front sway bars and a tach. BMW advertised at the time they could build the Car for $1,000 less without the safety features engineered into the car. A VW Beetle sold for less than $2,000 in the day. I got the car in 1972 and sold it in 1975 for $2,000. The buyer was very happy.

I just love the vintage BMW’s as they are so pure and handle with grace. The drivability and visibility are the best. From the 1600, to the 2002, and then the 3.0 CS, to the CSi and then the 3.0CSL which made BMW the Ultimate Driving Machine. It was also the first of the “M” cars for BMW although it didn’t carry the M badge. After many modern BMW’s I now am the proud owner of a near perfect 3.0CSL. Just took it out for the first drive this year after a long winters nap, and what a joy it has added to my life, just short of my wife of 52 years. I have owned other vintage cars including a Series 1.5 Etype Drop Head and in addition to the CSL, I currently own an XK150 Drop Head, a 911 Carrera, and the last 1979 VW convertible brought into the country which I was able to acquire 25 years ago with only 67 miles and had never been titled. Bought it from a collector and presented it to my wife for her 50th. birthday. The BMW 3.0CSL is my very favorite car as it just does everything so well.

Thanks Jay! For being a pure car guy. The first car I bought was a 1976 BMW 2002, Lime Green!, in 1984 (I was 22) for $2000 cash. Off of some used car lot on San Fernando Road by Whiteman Airport. I drove that 2002 like a wild man for 12 years, (now 34 years old). So much fun, I can't begin to tell you of all of our numerous adventures. I even drove it into Tijuana Mexico one time. I had to buy temporary Mexican car insurance with a sticker for my window. I actually dared to park it on the street in Tijuana overnight. The 2002 was still there, fully intact when I woke up the next morning. The engine finally gave out and blew a piston rod right through the side of the motor. It sat in my father's back yard in L.A. for 6 years before I put a fresh $4000 engine in. I still "own" that 2002, even though, as a 1976 California vehicle, I will have a very hard time passing the smog test to register it once again. Not a problem. I love car enthusiast, like your wonderful guest on this video. That realize, "Hey, we are actually using a man made machine to make our live's easier!!!" Music marks time. Cars mark time as well. ----Cheers! ---Eddy from Hollywood.

If I recall, the turn signal was on the right side of the steering wheel, even though it was left hand drive! Great chassis dynamics and super fun to take on twisty roads.

jontg429 yes technically alfa did but title always goes to the most popular or most influential...... Ex: chuck berry was first but Elves Presley is dubbed king of rock and roll....... V8 gremlins and fiat abarth were also first performance hatch back but MK1 GOLF gti is dubbed the original..........

Yes. The Giulia Turismo Internazionale was a blast. But for us germans the BMW New Class 2 door was the cheaper alternative because the Alfa was for about 3500 USD and the BMW for 2250 USD. By the way 96hp was the old SAE, in Germany it was sold with 85 hp measured at the rear axle. Enough for 13 sec up to 60 miles.

Wow, thanks for the memories! This was our family's car when I was a kid. My dad loved it and it started his BMW loyalty. He put (barely) wider aluminum wheels and a sport steering wheel and when I drove the tires off on mountain roads, he complained that Dunlops wore out too quickly. He let me take it when I went to college when it was just a 12 year old car. I was able to fit my motorcycle in the trunk! (Some disassembly required)

Wow, Jay and Lisa, thanks for the trip down memory lane. My first wife and I bought a 1969 1600 (in Bristol Grey) in 1972. And like Jay mentioned, I'm pretty sure we paid $800 for it. It was a great car and in the years since I've owned approx 9 more BMWs. My 2nd wife caught the Bimmer bug as well and is on her 5th BMW (a 2104 5-Series) right now. But it did all start with that great 1969 1600. Thanks again. PS. The 1600 blew a head gasket and hot water wore away some metal around a valve seat in the head. Hoffman BMW in Detroit wanted too much to replace or fix the head and we sold the car to them for $400.

My first BMW was a 1980 e21 320i in hennarot red. Car went over 300k miles and finally rusted through. That car started my love for BMW. I've had many since then (8 years ago) currently have a 2002 325i with 36k miles in mint condition. I have a 1990 535i I'm restoring. I have a 03 530i sport package. And I have a 98 528i that will become a ls swapped monster. I love your show jay. Hope to one day come see your garage

Really enjoyed this. . . . 👍In the early ‘70s, my folks had little money, but my dad spotted a little 1968 bmw 1600 sitting abandoned next to an old service station. I believe he was able to buy it for around $500, but it needed new front mcpherson struts, and the rear seat vinyl back was disintegrating from sun exposure. I helped him change struts, and he stitched a new vinyl to cover the rotted part of the rear upholstery. I remember how snick-click wonderful the shifting was on the 4-speed. One of the rear license plate bulb lenses was broken, so when I happened to pass by a BMW dealer (which was an hour away), I picked up a new replacement. I think it cost around $35, so expensive that my dad made me take it back. When the parents moved a few years later (1978?), he sold it locally, but I do not know the price. I REALLY miss that old car, wish I had it now.

Just realized Jay Leno and my dad are the same age, mind having problems computing the differences between the two as well as the similarities! My dad has always been a car guy and still to this day he's looking for a car he can drive a while then sell it for a small profit. Getting to grow up around cars was awesome ,because usually a classic and a hot rod were there for me to sit in and occasionally drive around the yard. Fond memories of digging thru a car when dad would first bring it home, finding some good and bad stuff. Got to watch and learn shade tree mechanics one o one. Jay and crew I sincerely hope that you're able to continue this channel and the love for cars for many more years! Thanks for the videos :)

She was smart, beautiful and knowledgeable back then when I was sort of in my very early 20s. Very glad to see she is more beautiful and smart nowadays.
