Vehicle description

Model history:

Back in the early 1960s, BMW introduced the 2600 series. It was produced between 1961 and 1965 and was the direct successor to the legendary 501 BMW. In two versions, the 2600 and the 2600L, with the L standing for luxury, these German automobiles were known for their sophisticated design and powerful engines. In addition to their larger relatives, the 3200 and 3200S, these vehicles belonged to BMW's Baroque Angel range, which was known for its meticulous assembly quality and craftsmanship. It is estimated that just under 3000 of them were produced.
