Buying or Selling a 1962 BMW 1500

1962 BMW 1500Having debuted preliminarily in September of 1961 as part of BMWs Neue Klasse (New Class), the BMW 1500 entered full production around a year later in October of 1962. The long wait following a celebrated reveal had resulted in an enormous 25,000 pre-orders, a sales phenomenon which boded well for the previously struggling BMW. Much of the delay was attributable to responsible engineering and testing policies, as the designers wanted the 1962 BMW 1500 to meet the driver expectations it had built up the previous year. Engine performance and the structural soundness of the 1962 BMW 1500 were top of mind for the automobile manufacturers leadership, all of whom had invested their hopes for recovery on this New Class design. The year was well spent, for those miles of testing and evaluation proved the 1500 to be worth the hype it had stimulated during its 1961 debut.

Under the inspired brilliance of engineer Alexander von Falkenhausen, the originally estimated 75 horsepower at 5500 rpm had erred on the side of caution. The 1962 BMW 1500 actually produced 80 horsepower at 5700 rpm, which had everything to do with increased compression. Every aspect of the 1962 BMW 1500 benefited from close attention to detail and careful design oversight. Engineering excellence has come to characterize BMW, but in 1962 the reputation was still being earned. In that regard the 1500 delivered. While those who had been treated to a preview of the 1500 in 1961 waited a full year before full production got underway, you have immediate options available to you this very day. If you are ready to buy a 1962 BMW 1500, you are on the right track.
