Launched in 1955, the 507 entered production in 1956 as a 1957 model. It embodied the highest standards in performance, construction and design. Envisioned by Max Hoffman with a stunning design by Count Albrecht Graf von Goertz, it was powered by a 3.2-liter, overhead valve aluminum block V8.
This car was delivered new to Zurich in Switzerland, where it remained for most of its life. A Series II model, it is fitted with the later front disc brakes. In 1959, BMW offered 507 owners an upgraded disc brake conversion, of which the car's first owner took advantage. Once part of the famous Panini collection Modena, it has recently been restored by BMW Group Classic in Munich.
