These models, built on the same platform, represented the company's foray into the compact executive car segment, a market dominated by European manufacturers like Volkswagen and Opel. The 1600, initially known as the "Neue Klasse" (New Class), featured a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, while the 2002 boasted a larger 2.0-liter engine, offering enhanced performance and a more engaging driving experience. Both models were praised for their balanced handling, responsive engines, and comfortable interiors, setting a benchmark for the emerging compact sports sedan category.

The 1600 and 2002 Series cars were offered in various body styles, including sedans, coupes, and convertibles. The 2002, particularly, gained cult status for its sporty character and performance-oriented features. It was a popular choice among enthusiasts, and its lightweight construction, combined with an efficient powertrain, resulted in a car that felt agile and fun to drive. The 2002 Ti, with its upgraded engine and tuned suspension, further cemented its place as a driver's car. These models also showcased BMW's growing commitment to innovation, with features like disc brakes, independent suspension, and a five-speed manual transmission becoming increasingly common. The 1600 and 2002 Series cars became symbols of the '70s, representing a period of economic prosperity and the burgeoning interest in affordable performance cars. Their enduring popularity and influence on subsequent BMW models attest to their lasting impact on the automotive landscape.
