BMW 1600ti Parts & Accessories

The BMW 1600ti is the high-performance twin-carburetor variant of the Neue Klasse 1600 coupe, built in limited numbers from 1967 to 1968. With twin Solex carburetors boosting output from the standard 1600's single-carb setup, the 1600ti is one of the rarest and most performance-oriented Neue Klasse models, making parts sourcing a specialized endeavor.

Popular Upgrades

Suspension refreshes with polyurethane bushings and quality shock absorbers are the most impactful upgrades for improving the 1600ti's vintage handling character. Exhaust upgrades using headers designed for the M10 family improve flow and sound on the twin-carb engine. Brake upgrades — performance pads and slotted rotors where available — bring stopping confidence up to match the 1600ti's more spirited power delivery compared to the base 1600.

How rare is the BMW 1600ti?

The BMW 1600ti was produced for just two model years in very limited numbers, making surviving examples genuinely rare. It is widely considered among collectors to be a more significant Neue Klasse model than the standard 1600 sedan due to its factory performance specification and the direct link to the development of the 2002 Turbo lineage.

Are parts for the 1600ti interchangeable with the 2002?

Many mechanical components — suspension, brake hardware, and exhaust parts — share a high degree of compatibility with the BMW 2002 due to the shared Neue Klasse platform. Carburetors and carburetor-specific intake hardware are 1600ti-specific, though Weber and other aftermarket suppliers provide serviceable replacement options.
