      Why didn't you like him? Most Americans loved him when he was doing his talk show over the past decades.
      I can understand people saying they didn't like David Letterman, he was known to be a A Hole in private.

    What a beauty. I owned a 1966 230s Mercedes for over 18 years (first car I owned 1989). The look of the BMW 1600 reminds me so much of that 230s car especially the interior and being surrounded by glass with no blind spots. The similarities all make sense because of the year. I couldn't imagine no power steering. What a beautiful car Lisa has preserved.

      well not so expensive as a ferrari at the time but no ordinary person had money to buy one of these,really confortable you drive it like a sport car ,in the 90´s i used a 1502 from 75 really safe car,does turn very well in tight corners is one of the best compared with new cars you almost seat at groud level ,like i ´ve written it drives like a sport car, i also had the 2002 from 69 they are similar but the younger model is more pointy not so round ,they used to call it shark front ,i do like to see videos from old cars but what happened to the 645i from the mid 70´s really good loking and big with luxuryous materials,like the 520 from 73 that todays is known as 5 series, the 1502 is a 2002 with a 1500 engine like the 2002 is a 1502 with a 2000 engine, like the 1602 it´s 2002 with a 1600 engine get it mr. jay leno

    What is amazing here is the fact that under the lid my 1976 316 e21 is pretty the same: M10 engine, alternator, carburettor, radiator and few more other things. Simple stuff that won't let you down. Back then they really enginered things with that actual purpose: reliability, effectiveness and simplicity.
    For some mad and obscure reasons it looks unthinkable nowaday.

    Thanks Jay! For being a pure car guy.
    The first car I bought was a 1976 BMW 2002, Lime Green!, in 1984 (I was 22) for $2000 cash.
    Off of some used car lot on San Fernando Road by Whiteman Airport.
    I drove that 2002 like a wild man for 12 years, (now 34 years old). So much fun, I can't begin to tell you of all of our numerous adventures.
    I even drove it into Tijuana Mexico one time. I had to buy temporary Mexican car insurance with a sticker for my window. I actually dared to park it on the street in Tijuana overnight. The 2002 was still there, fully intact when I woke up the next morning.
    The engine finally gave out and blew a piston rod right through the side of the motor.
    It sat in my father's back yard in L.A. for 6 years before I put a fresh $4000 engine in.
    I still "own" that 2002, even though, as a 1976 California vehicle, I will have a very hard time passing the smog test to register it once again.
    Not a problem.
    I love car enthusiast, like your wonderful guest on this video. That realize, "Hey, we are actually using a man made machine to make our live's easier!!!"
    Music marks time.
    Cars mark time as well.
    ----Cheers!

    I bought a 68 1600 in 1978 with a blown motor for $400-. Rebuilt with new rings and bearings, drove for 500 miles and seized up again. Realized later that the old oil pump was out of spec. Which is why the engine failed in the first place probably. Love the cars though, had several 02s and 2 tii's 90 325 convertible which got rear-ended, and now back to an 83 320i (1.8 lit). It romps to 5-6k rpm, and is great handling!

    I just love the vintage BMW’s as they are so pure and handle with grace. The drivability and visibility are the best. From the 1600, to the 2002, and then the 3.0 CS, to the CSi and then the 3.0CSL which made BMW the Ultimate Driving Machine. It was also the first of the “M” cars for BMW although it didn’t carry the M badge. After many modern BMW’s I now am the proud owner of a near perfect 3.0CSL. Just took it out for the first drive this year after a long winters nap, and what a joy it has added to my life, just short of my wife of 52 years. I have owned other vintage cars including a Series 1.5 Etype Drop Head and in addition to the CSL, I currently own an XK150 Drop Head, a 911 Carrera, and the last 1979 VW convertible brought into the country which I was able to acquire 25 years ago with only 67 miles and had never been titled. Bought it from a collector and presented it to my wife for her 50th. birthday.
    The BMW 3.0CSL is my very favorite car as it just does everything so well.

    Really enjoyed this. . . . 👍In the early ‘70s, my folks had little money, but my dad spotted a little 1968 bmw 1600 sitting abandoned next to an old service station. I believe he was able to buy it for around $500, but it needed new front mcpherson struts, and the rear seat vinyl back was disintegrating from sun exposure. I helped him change struts, and he stitched a new vinyl to cover the rotted part of the rear upholstery. I remember how snick-click wonderful the shifting was on the 4-speed. One of the rear license plate bulb lenses was broken, so when I happened to pass by a BMW dealer (which was an hour away), I picked up a new replacement. I think it cost around $35, so expensive that my dad made me take it back. When the parents moved a few years later (1978?), he sold it locally, but I do not know the price. I REALLY miss that old car, wish I had it now.

My dad has always been a car guy and still to this day he's looking for a car he can drive a while then sell it for a small profit. Getting to grow up around cars was awesome ,because usually a classic and a hot rod were there for me to sit in and occasionally drive around the yard. Fond memories of digging thru a car when dad would first bring it home, finding some good and bad stuff. Got to watch and learn shade tree mechanics one o one. Jay and crew I sincerely hope that you're able to continue this channel and the love for cars for many more years! Thanks for the videos :)

      You guys are mean. She's very pretty to me and seems like a smart, pleasant woman with engaging interests. There's more to beauty and overall attractiveness than blonde hair, a big chest, and being college age. Beware what you look for in a woman, boys; you just might get it.

I've had many since then (8 years ago) currently have a 2002 325i with 36k miles in mint condition. I have a 1990 535i I'm restoring. I have a 03 530i sport package.

    I was working as a contractor at the Yuengling brewery last year and noticed a round tail light 2002 tii sitting in a lot nearby. It was very solid and just went mostly unmentioned by the other car guys that were around on the job. Sadly, it was noticed by some idiots with no appreciation for history or classic vehicles because I showed up one morning and was dismayed to find that the windows were knocked out. The owner tarped it and mentioned that it had a very rare interior option when I offered my condolences. I let my hard core BMW friends know about it to try and save it, but they thought it would be too high dollar and were afraid of insulting the guy with a low ball offer. Really. There is a certain type of people for everything under the Sun, but BMW folks have a certain way about them. I would be a fool to not admire their qualities in certain terms.

      @bennyhannover9361 6 лет назад

      Yes. The Giulia Turismo Internazionale was a blast. But for us germans the BMW New Class 2 door was the cheaper alternative because the Alfa was for about 3500 USD and the BMW for 2250 USD. By the way 96hp was the old SAE, in Germany it was sold with 85 hp measured at the rear axle. Enough for 13 sec up to 60 miles.

    Wow, Jay and Lisa, thanks for the trip down memory lane. My first wife and I bought a 1969 1600 (in Bristol Grey) in 1972. And like Jay mentioned, I'm pretty sure we paid $800 for it. It was a great car and in the years since I've owned approx 9 more BMWs. My 2nd wife caught the Bimmer bug as well and is on her 5th BMW (a 2104 5-Series) right now. But it did all start with that great 1969 1600. Thanks again.
    PS. The 1600 blew a head gasket and hot water wore away some metal around a valve seat in the head. Hoffman BMW in Detroit wanted too much to replace or fix the head and we sold the car to them for $400.
