BMW 502 V8 Baur Cabrio 1955
General description :
Wir offerieren eines von insgesamt nur 15 jemals gebauten viertürigen BMW 502 V8 Baur Cabriolets, von dem heute nur noch eine Hand voll existieren. Aus der alten Kaufrechnung von 1960 sowie von vielen weiteren Dokumenten geht hervor, dass der Wagen in Besitz von Generalkonsul Siegfried von Nostitz mit Sitz in Bonn sowie San Francisco, USA war. Dieser nahm das extrem seltene Cabriolet nach einigen Jahren mit nach Kalifornien. Nach weiteren sehr gut dokumentierten Stationen in den USA erfolgte in 1986 der Import nach Deutschland. Im Auftrag des damaligen Eigentümers, Dr. Wilhelm Härter, Firma EDF GmbH mit Sitz in München wurde in den Jahren 1992-1993 das Cabriolet dann beim dem BMW V8 Spezialisten schlechthin , Erwin Brummer aus Holzkirchen, für über 150.000 DM restauriert. Seit nunmehr 16 Jahren ist der BMW in Besitz eines Sammlers, welcher den Wagen gelegentlich für schöne Ausfahrten nutzte und jetzt verkaufen möchte. Wir übergeben dieses extrem seltene hervorragend dokumentierte BMW V8 Cabriolet mit neuem TÜV und H-Zulassung.
We offer one of only 15 ever built four-door BMW 502 V8 Baur convertibles, of which only a handful exist today. From the old purchase invoice from 1960 as well as many other documents it appears that the car was in the possession of Consul General Siegfried von Nostitz based in Bonn, Germany and San Francisco, USA. Later he took the extremely rare convertible to California. After further well-documented stations in the USA, the import to Germany took place in 1986. The new owner, Dr. Ing. Wilhelm Härter, company EDF GmbH with headquarters in Munich, commissioned a extensive restoration at the BMW V8 specialist from Germany, Erwin Brummer between 1992-1993. Invoices are available for more than 150.000 DM. For the past 16 years the BMW has been owned by a German collector, who used the car occasionally for beautiful tours and now is willing to sell. We hand over this extremely rare BMW V8 convertible with new TÜV and H-approval.

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
