Called Barockengel ("baroque angel" Designed by Peter Szymanowski, who until before the war was the director of the Eisenach plant, the line of the 501 was the final point of evolution and refinement of a work begun during the war and carried out in secret. To trace the definitive lines of the car body, the participation of external coachbuilders was also considered, including Pininfarina itself[5],
Since at the time of the start of production of the 501 the Munich plant was not yet in optimal conditions for a sufficient production rate, the production work was entrusted largely to the Baur body shop in Stuttgart, which built the bodies, then sent back to Munich to be mounted on the frames made by Alfred Böning together with the engine, mechanics and the fuel tank, mounted in a position particularly protected from impacts that proved to be particularly robust. The passenger compartment was sober, at times even rather bare, especially considering that it was a high-end car tall, but at the same time elegant. The space on board was abundant even for six people.
The steering was characterized by a notable precision, given by the solution, adopted by BMW technicians,
The model we propose is a first series produced in 1954. The sales contract (original) states that in 1957 Mr. Pieter Hoffmann sold it to Mrs. Maria Crespi who imported the car to Italy. Only 22,987 km traveled, excellent interior conservation conditions, only one external paint refreshment preserving the original interior parts. Mechanically in perfect condition with a 6-cylinder in-line engine with ZF manual transmission.
