About the BMW 1600 Cabriolet Blue Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 BMW 1600 Cabriolet in blue reproduces the 02 Series convertible from the early 1970s, a body style built through BMW's collaboration with coachbuilder Baur. It is a compact, affordable route to a lesser-modeled piece of BMW's compact-car history.

The 1600, part of BMW's 02 Series, was the compact car that helped rebuild the marque's reputation in the 1960s and 1970s, and its convertible variant is far less common on collector shelves than the coupe.

A Baur-Built Body in Diecast Form

BMW didn't build the 02 Series Cabriolet in-house; the German coachbuilder Baur handled the conversion, reinforcing the chassis and fitting the folding soft top onto BMW's standard 1600 body. That production detail matters for how the replica is judged: the roofline and rear deck of a Baur conversion sit slightly differently than a factory-designed convertible, and Minichamps carries that distinction into the casting rather than treating it as a generic open coupe. The blue paint is applied evenly across the simple, boxy body panels that defined this generation, and the compact proportions read clearly at 1:43 without needing opening doors or engine detail to communicate what the car is.

The 02 Series in BMW's Story

The 02 Series, including the 1600 and its later 2002 sibling, established the compact sport-sedan formula that BMW would build its entire brand identity around for the next five decades. A Cabriolet variant from this line is a genuine rarity on most BMW-themed shelves, where the 2002 coupe tends to dominate. For a collector assembling BMW's early history, this piece fills a specific and often-missing gap, small in footprint but distinct in body style from anything else in a typical 02 Series lineup.
