VIDEO: Back to the 60s – the BMW 1500
As it is about to take a leap into a new future of electric cars and M-badged SUVs, BMW revisits its past with this video that it produced about the BMW 1500 from the 1960s. The BMW 1500 was one of the BMW New Class line of compact sedans and it featured a 1,499cc single-cam engine producing 80 horsepower at 5,700rpm which was really not bad at that time. The 1500 in 1961 was also the first BMW with a Hofmeister kink. Look after the jump to watch the video.

my late grandad had one of those (in beige i guess). At the time BMW was still a struggling manufacturer. Nevertheless, the car was a solid drive and built tough. Its wat made my grandad stick to continental cars and quality for his entire life.
