BMW introduced their 501 model in April 1951 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It brought with the introduction a solid engineering and luxurious car. The 501 was priced just over 15,000 DM, making it very much an elite automobile. Mr. Peter Szymanowski, one-time head of BMW design, was credited with the car’s styling. The design preserved traditional BMW cues, including the double-kidney grille and flared fenders. The 501, as well as the 502, was nicknamed the Baroque Angel,’ for their flowing, curvaceous appearance.
Powering the Model 501 was a straight-six OHV engine that was mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
In 1954, BMW introduced a derivation of the 501 saloon, the Model 502. It was Germany’s first post-war V8 powered car. The engine displaced 2.6 liters with an aluminum alloy block and an available 100 horsepower. At the time, it was said to be Germany’s fastest production sedan, with a top speed of 160 kilometers per hour. Along with improved performance, the BMW 502 was fitted with elegant interior fittings.
Standard features included fog lamps and individual front seats.
Only 2,537 copies of this version were manufactured from 1955 to 1962.
