After the BMW takeover of GLAS, the coupe was continued for another year as the BMW 1600 GT. In addition to the typical BMW face treatment (kidney grill and roundel on the hood) it received the motor, gearbox and independent rear axle of the BMW 1600 TI. Kept were the body shape and front axle design. Between September of 1967 and August of 1968 BMW built a total of 1,255 cars of this type including only two convertibles. The BMW 1600 GT was sold in Germany for US$3,960 but after October of 1968 the car was offered at a closeout sale price of only US$2,725. Officially BMW only exported five 1600 GTs were into the USA.
