Decoded identity source

PetrolJunky BMW classic range database

Year note: BMW records this chassis in calendar-year 1967 production, while its U.S. equipment/model-year designation is 1968.

The first dedicated U.S. 1600-2 series began in September 1967. The following model-year boundary is approximate.

The decoded identity remains separate from community ownership claims and photographs. That separation preserves the source record while allowing the vehicle’s human history to grow.
