1957 BMW 507 Series II


In 1957 BMW revised their flagship 507 to include more rear cabin space and changed minor details to refine the model. The BMW 507 is a roadster that was produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959. Initially intended to be exported to the United States at a rate of thousands per year, it ended up being too expensive, resulting in a total production figure of 252 cars and heavy losses for BMW.



To increase space behind the rear wheels, BMW removed the valence and reduced the size of the fuel tank from 120 to 65 liters. Compression was increased to 7.8:1 which increased power from 140 to 150 bhp at 5000 rpm.
