First registration 03.1962 Year of construction 1959 Only 252 units built Matching numbers and color Stunning original condition Swiss road registration with veteran entry With a total production of only 252 examples in two series, the BMW 507 Roadster is a rare car that everyone agrees is a true classic and icon of automotive design, even if few have had the privilege of experiencing the driving experience of the 3.2-liter V8-powered M507/1 in person. The BMW 507 Roadster Series II offered here was completed in 1959 in the color Papyros and leather interior blue uni. It was registered for the first time in Switzerland in June 1960 at the Zurich Freilager customs office and then officially put on the road for the first time in March 1962. The car was part of the collection of BMW 507 connoisseur Hans Theil from Winterthur from 1971 and for an incredible 42 years before it was bought by the last owner in 2013. The bodywork was repainted in the original Papyros color at the beginning of the 1970s in Hans Theil’s possession, and the original engine no. 40227 was also replaced at this time by the 160 hp engine no. 41199. This engine is still installed today, but the original block with no. 40227 is present and belongs to the car – matching numbers. This beautiful BMW 507 Roadster is in top-maintained, completely unrestored and breathtakingly original collector’s condition with patina. Many documents and receipts from the period are present, including the original owner’s manual and even an original sales brochure. The BMW 507 is one of the most legendary and stylish roadsters ever built by BMW – a true classic with cult status. It was conceived as a luxurious sports car that was primarily intended to compete with the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL. Its design is still considered one of the most beautiful automobile designs of the 1950s. Today, the 507 is extremely sought-after – it is considered one of the most valuable BMWs ever.
