point taken. it seemed a little bit like you were hyping up your car. no offense intended.
not really. mine was designed in the early sixties. motor debutted in the 1963 bmw 1500. 1602 (two door) debuted in 1965. 2 liter motor put in two door body in 1967.
much much older car than yours. it should have a huge disadvantage.
motor is a 2 liter four cylinder, single overhead cam, 2 valves per cylinder.
100 horsepower. but back then horsepower was measured at the flywheel, so thats not whats going to the wheels.
you clearly know nothing my car. my car is easy to live with day to day in the city.
it was designed for the german middle class in post war germany who didnt want a small city car like the bmw isetta (ala steve urkel) but couldnt afford a mercedes which was pretty much the only bigger option available otherwise. it was designed to be a good all round car, the german middle class couldnt afford to have a city car and a highway car. it was supposed to be an all round capable car, it was not designed "for driving along that magnificent autobahn in Germany."
BMW isetta circa 1960
it came in when you started talking up your car, i merely pointed out that a car designed twenty years earlier and much heavier and probably more aerodynamically inefficient was just as good. in the pantheon of common sense that would mean that yours isnt all that, as something significantly older than it is just as good as yours is.
