BMW delivered the value-for-money entry-level model in the form of the 2-seater for the cost-conscious gentleman driver who was more interested in the reliability of his car rather than in expensive luxury. The equipment was correspondingly rudimentary. The bodywork was a combination of wood and steel covered in leather. It provided space for two passengers with a small amount of luggage. The all-weather soft top was made of plastic material, the four side windows could be inserted in the doors and were made of Cellon with a faux-leather surround. When the car was being driven, very often only the two front windows were used in order at least to give the driver some protection against the headwind. The low weight made the car very manoeuvrable, and this was reflected in overall victory at the Alpine race held in 1929.
