67 1600-2 color availability?

[jlandreth]

I'm considering a 1600-2 project and would like to find out what colors the factory made available in 1967.

Thank-you Esty!

I disagree on some of the colors on the chart, I've seen a 67 1600 that Bill Holmes had for sale (original CA black plate car) that was Tampico. I've seen 1600's in Nevada and Florida as well. I believe that there were only about 6 colors available when the 1600 was first introduced to the US. Mike Self should probably speak up and say I've been hitting the crack pipe again. I think between the two charts, the one Esty posted and this one http://www.bmw2002faq.com/content/view/32/32/ you can figure out what colors were offered to 1600 buyers in the late 60's.

I have an undated BMW colors brochure from '66 or '67 that has the following:

Turf - dark green

Florida - light green

Granada - dark red

Chamonix - white

Derby - dark grey

Bristol - silver grey

Caribe - middle blue

Pacific - dark blue

Schwartz - black

Manila - light beige

Sahara - middle beige

Tampico - dark beige

Polaris - silver metallic - extra price (no color chip)

Brochure states that "these colors are available for all models:

1600

1800/Automatic

2000/Automatic

2000TI

2000tilux

2000 CS/C Automatic

I've had a '67 1600 and '67 2000CS which were both originally Bristol.

geez, with the exception of the greens Bill, your list is almost a modern BMW color palette!

would you like a black, red, dark red, blue, dark blue, metallic blue, white, silver or silvery white E90 with that lease, sir?

I was hoping Colorado would be on Bill's list but there are several other options I could live with .I believe this car was originally Chamonix

Here's another chart that shows actual cars in the color. not sure the availability is accurate though. Its from the Canadian club.

Some colors are 1600 specific. I have seen Manilla 2002's but not Florida 2002's. There is a color chart (no colors just the names) in McCartney's book. However there are mistakes in that one too.

The chart posted a the top is for 2002's not 1600's.

Colorado is an 02 color. The paint code is 002 for Jiminy Christams!
