Only 253 produced. Probably one of the best looking BMWs I've ever seen. Do want!

The BMW 507 is arguably the most beautiful and certainly among the rarest production models ever to emerge from Munich, with only 253 produced between 1956 and 1959. The 507 was the first BMW built with a V8 engine and remained the only model to use one until the 740i debuted in 1992. The 3.2-liter pushrod V8 under the 507's bonnet was rated at either 150 or 160 horsepower.

This particular example appears to be in very good condition aside from its slightly foggy rear window. It spent a good part of its life at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas, where it was purported to be one of two owned by Elvis Presley. As this is written, the $400,000 top bid has not cleared the reserve price, so you still have a chance to remortgage the house and get in on this action.

Get your self a Z8 and hold on to it for 40 years......oh you're an intern architect....nevermind!!!

Love that 507.

It's pretty...but not beautiful...however it's got a V8 and I like it!

34 bids so far.....plenty of interest, but below the reserve so far. This will get interesting with about 5 minutes to go, I bet.

VERY interesting torsion bar set up it's got...

I had an Italian Structures prof in grad school.

His favorite saying:

Germans....if there is a simple way to do something....do it the hard way.

not enough port holes

Hmm, I wonder if it has a throttle body spacer....?


TAF

Those are so beautiful...

I love these too, which are much more modestly priced:

That is pretty... what year/model is it?

Early 70's 3.0 CSi. The one in the pic is mildly updated a little, but close to stock. Look 'em up...one of the most beautiful coupes ever made! Italian styling/body with BMW chassis. Unfortunately on a quiet night you can hear them rust. I've driven one that was in great condition and it was quite impressive, even by today's standards. I would love to have one someday, along with a nice 2002 to go along with my M6.

If you want one, better get it now before they take off. I got mine in '88 for $8K it's now worth about $15K. It's a highway cruiser and fun car to drive, not too bad on the twisties. Most parts are easy to find.

The CLSs are in the $75$ - $150K.

Totally different from the Europa TC.

Let's see some pics Victor!

A CSL would be very sweet, but I'd be very afraid of driving one out on the street...

nice CSi for sale.

Aero95,

Sorry it took so long to find pics, there old.

I'm doing some mods to it and so I not going to have good pictures 'till this fall.

Rebuilding front suspension, repairing body damage from rear ending a few years back.

Changing dual webbers to triple delorto's, I know them better since I have them on the Europa.

Enjoy: If it works:

Gorgeous car, Victor! Definitely post some updates when you get her done this fall.

(I'm not a big fan of 5-spoke wheels on BMWs though...your car would look great with some Alpina wheels. )
