From the Canberra Correspondent: Late 60s' BMW 2000 "New Class"
The similarities are plain to see. However, this BMW 2000 "New Class" sedan - captured in the ACT by the Canberra Correspondent - isn't nearly as pretty as its smaller 2002 sibling.
According to Wikipedia, the New Class had a fifteen year production run, beginning in 1962, and was the lineup that saved BMW from going broke after the company experienced financial problems during the preceding decade. That same source identifies that the "O2" Series - including the 2002 coupe and cabriolet - was based on a shortened New Class sedan platform.
The example shown here today is in great nick, right down to its four original hubcaps. It is kind of boxy but the expansive glass of the cabin is likely to make it a pleasant place to be in with good visibility and a light, airy feel.
