Few words & BMW 2500, 2800, 2.8, 3.0 and Bavaria (E3) links:
|
Following on the success of the New Class, the BMW 2500 was introduced as the first of the New Six sedans. The forerunner of the 5 Series, these sedans were popularly priced, sporty sedans with beefy 6 cylinder engines.
The 2500 was powered by a 2494 cc in-line, water-cooled 6-cylinder engine, designed by Alex von Falkenhausen. With a 86 mm bore and a 71 mm stroke, the engine claimed 150 hp at 6000 rpms.
The 2500 was the first BMW model to feature a tool kit, which would become a BMW hallmark.
Produced from 1968-1977, the 2500 was not available in North America after 1971. Instead of the 2500, the North American market got a special version of the 2800 called the Bavaria.
