BMW 700 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1959–1965) — First Generation
The first-generation BMW 700 Coupe is a compact two-door from BMW's small-car era. It pairs a short Coupe body with a modest gasoline engine and a driver-operated gearbox.
The BMW 700 engine sits at the rear of the Coupe, so the 0.7 gasoline unit drives the rear wheels through a manual gearbox. In the 0.7 MT example, that powertrain is compact: you shift yourself, and the drivetrain leaves the cabin uncluttered for everyday driving.
