BMW 501/502/2.6/2600 sedan, coupe and convertible. 1952-1963
The BMW 501 Sedan, also known as “The Baroque Angel” due to its sumptuous shape, was a luxury car produced in several versions by BMW, a technically good but very expensive car. BMW planned to sell approx. 20,000 units annually, but practically only 22,000 units were produced until 1963.

BMW 700 sedan, coupe and convertible. 1959-1965
The BMW 700 was produced by BMW from August 1959 to November 1965, being the first BMW car with a monocoque structure. Its sales success saved the Munich company from financial ruin. It had a sporty version called the 700 RS.

BMW 507 convertible. 1956-1959
The BMW 507 is a two-seater roadster manufactured by BMW. Like the BMW 503, the model was designed by Albrecht Graf von Goertz and is considered an icon of automotive design.
The car was priced similarly to its competitor, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, which from spring 1957 was no longer offered as a coupé with gull-wing doors, but exclusively as a roadster. Only 252 examples of the BMW 507 were produced, making it much rarer than the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, of which a total of 3258 coupés and roadsters were produced.

BMW Isetta 250/300 . 1955–1962
The BMW Isetta is a microcar produced by the German car manufacturer BMW between 1955 and 1962. It was designed by Italian designer Giovanni Michelotti, and was available as a two-door convertible or two-door coupé. The name “Isetta” derives from the Italian diminutive for “little sister”.
The Isetta’s body was made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic (GRP), a new material at the time. It was also one of the first cars to use polypropylene yarn in its upholstery. The Isetta had a rear-mounted air-cooled engine, which reduced its overall height. To make room for the engine and transmission, the four wheels were removed from their usual location and mounted on the floor in tandem. This required the front wheels to turn 180 degrees for steering.
Production began at BMW’s Munich plant in 1955; by 1956 it was also being manufactured in Brazil (at Vemag). In 1958, assembly began in Australia (by Motor Body Builders) and Mexico (by Automex). In 1959, production began in Spain (by FASA).

BMW 600
1957-1959
The BMW 600 is a four-seater car based on the Isetta, produced by BMW from 1957 to November 1959 under licence from the Italian company ISO.

BMW 503 coupe and convertible. 1956–1959
The BMW 503 is a two-door 2+2 car produced in the 1950s by BMW. The company developed the BMW 503 along with the 507 roadster in an attempt to sell a significant number of luxury cars in the United States, where it did not have a very large market share, and the 503 was the first BMW sports coupé produced after World War II.
