BMW 1500-2000, 2000C/CS

The "Neue Klasse" was BMW's answer to the mid-sized 4 door Saloon of the 1960s, featuring 4 cylinder inline engines, McPherson spring struts, semi-trailing arm and disc brakes.

The CS version, pictured left, was built by Karmann and was available with automatic transmission as an option. From 1968 it pioneered dual circuit brakes which then appeared on BMW saloons.
