Product description ■ In the late 1960 s, BMW planned to enter the lucrative American market.
At the time when the British 2-seat Roadster was favored by the sporty Americans, Mercedes-Benz was also preparing to enter the American market with a 2-seater steam locomotive.
BMW felt it could not build such a model in-house and made an offer to French designer Paul Bracq, who was asked to design a coupe for the V8 engine for the American market.
When there was no possibility of production, it was very unusual considering the general production procedure.
Production of the body was left to French specialist Brissonneau & Lotz.
This project was called the 1600 Ti concept, which indicates that it was based on the Series 2 engine, but it meant that this type of name would be planned to apply to the 4-cylinder engine.
However, the performance that did not satisfy the American buyers was probably a major reason for the delay in entering the American market.
As far as it is known, there are no moving prototypes. In fact, only mockups were made to check the appearance.
