Now and then I see some adverts for these models who was made between 1961 to around beginning of the 70s and I can see they are sold of a not 2 bad price at all. What I have also understood is that they have the same platform as the BMW 02 series as well so I will imagine it handle well, but never seen some one take good care of them. So are they wort a try???
In the end they was also made in 15/16 and 1800 series as well
My boss had one of these in 1969,a2000ti Frazer nash ,bright red too. It reved to 6800r.p.m. and would show 130mph indicated.The best(and fastest )car I drove for about 20 years .Unfortunately I think they must all have died from terminal rust many years ago
Okay, for me it looks like the pure old E30 4-door saloon version from the 1960s and I think its deadly cool, but to morrow I will maybe get an old school Beemer?
The 2000 saloon was our first Beamer, back in 1970/71. It was strangely spartan for its day compared with many 4 door hacks, but the build quality, handling and smoothness more than compensated. The marque had already gained a great deal of status even then, but Beamers were relatively rare in those days. Its 'cousin'; the 2002 was an awesome little thing especially in the Tii Fraser-Nash guise. Then, before the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' slogan, they used to say "The car in front is a BMW".
I have driven one of these and to be honest wasn't impressed its handling was hairy to say the least well screwed together though. I actually know of a good one(rhd) thats up for sale at the moment pm me if you like square headlights on a BMW

You're thinking of Toyota. Back in the late sixties and seventies the slogan was 'Unbeatable BMW'.
'The Ultimate Driving Machine' was first used in the USA in 1976 and came to the UK in 1980.
'Freude am Fahren' (joy of driving) is the German slogan although 'Sheer Driving Pleasure' has been well used in various countries.
