BMW 502: The baroque angel

Giannis · 10-15-2006, 06:13 PM

I am looking for some info on the BMW 502. I don't mean technical data, since i have enough of them.

But does anyone know
1. the equipment of the (special) features this car had?
2. how did it stand up against the other cars of its segment?
3. if i can find any roadtest of this car?
4. if i can buy such a car?

thanks in advane!

Some useful info perhaps:

In 1958 the 502 2.6 was named 2.6, the 502 3.2 with 120 HP 3.2 and the
502 3.2 S with 140 HP 3.2 S. In 1961 the 2.6 was named 2600 and there was now
also a 2600L available. The 3200L and the 3200S received more power and new
rear lights. All models went out of production in 1964.

A unique car is the 3200 S Limousine. Only 1 was ever build, in 1963.
It can be found in the BMW museum in Munich, Germany:

I just did a search and came up with this one for sale:

It may be expensive though being a dealer but at least they may be able to tell you about the equipment etc. I would try and hook up with someone in Germany's BMW Club who gets their newsletters. Usually those newsletters have old cars in their classifieds as well.

Well, it had a V8, the MB 300 only had a 6-cylinder.

Well, the good news are that me and the guy i mentioned in my first post are looking for one in a good enough condition, but not very expensive. We plan to spent a lot of time to restore it. So we will have much fun and in the end we will have a great classic.

So if anyone knows where i can find one, please tell me!

Well I prefer the 502 coupe. And that was the worlds first production all Al. V8 car engine. The 503 goes even further with its Al. body and more contemporary body style, besides the Al. V8.

great page Christian. So much classics and many of them affordable.

But the real deal with a classic is all the fun you get when restoring it!
