The BMW 700 is a small luxury car manufactured by German automaker BMW between 1959 and 1965. It was the first model released in the new lineup of BMW cars, and it immediately gained worldwide acclaim with its sporty design, powerful engine, and precise handling. The BMW 700 featured a four-cylinder rear-mounted air-cooled boxer engine that delivered a maximum output of 45 horsepower at 4,200 rpm. It was mated to a four-speed manual transmission and the car could attain a top speed of nearly 85 miles per hour. The BMW 700 also featured independent suspension on all four wheels, providing superior handling capabilities and excellent road feedback. In addition, its overall design was aerodynamic, allowing it to achieve relatively high fuel efficiency ratings even for the time. The BMW 700 was produced in two body styles – a two-door coupe and a two-door convertible. Both models were extremely popular and remain highly sought-after collector's items today. Despite its short production run, the BMW 700 cemented the brand’s name in the world of luxury cars, paving the way for future BMW models. Read more
