1958 BMW 507 Roadster Series II - € 1,996,250

One of 34 examples exported to the United States, and one of 252 total production examples built. The 507 roadster featured an advanced box-frame chassis equipped with an upgraded suspension, four-speed synchromesh gearbox, and Alfin drum brakes. The 507 was clothed with breathtaking lightweight alloy coachwork.
A 3168 cc M507/1 V8 made 150 metric horsepower at 5,000 rpm. It was mated to a close ratio 4-speed ZF manual.

0-62 mph time is 11.1 seconds onto a top speed of 122 mph.
The 507 took BMW to the edge of bankruptcy and the company lost money on each 507 built. Production was terminated in late 1959. This example made € 1,996,250
