Buying or Selling a 1956 BMW 507

Designed by Albrecht von Goertz, the 1956 BMW 507 was the first production model of one of the most desirable classic cars on the market. Memorable for its smooth yet aggressive lines, comfortable drive, and high-powered V8 engine, the 507 was fated to be a failed attempt to sell more luxury BMWs in America. While hailed as a major achievement in both design and aesthetics, the economic climate in Germany at the time pushed production costs through the roof, eventually forcing the final price of the car to be more than double than the projected cost- and BMW still lost money on each machine. As such, only 252 were manufactured, nearly driving BMW into bankruptcy. The 1956 model of the car, produced from 1956 to early 1957, is known as the Series I, and possessed a 29.1 gallon fuel tank placed behind the rear seats. The large size and placement of these tanks severely limited both seating room in the rear row, as well as the capacity of the cars trunk.

1956 BMW 507 Buyers Guide

The professional team at the Beverly Hills Car Club has a great tip on buying a 1956 BMW 507 that theyd like to share with you. That piece of advice is to check that the car youre buying is actually from 1956. The Series I version of the 507 is even more rare than the car itself (as less of them were made), and as such fetches a higher price. A less-reputable classic car seller might try to pass off a Series II as a Series I in order to bank on people not knowing the difference- the Series I has a massive gas tank immediately behind the rear row of seats. One way to avoid the possibility of such a discovery- and the stress of the searching for, vetting, and buying of a classic car in general, is to connect with the Beverly Hills Car Club team yourself. They have the reputation and years of expertise to both find you a great classic car- such as a BMW 507- as well as the best values around for the car of your dreams.
