Named Barockengel ("baroque angel" Designed by Peter Szymanowski, who until before the war was director of the Eisenach plant, the 501 line constituted the final point of evolution and refinement of a work begun during the war and carried on in hiding. The participation of outside coachbuilders, including Pininfarina itself,[5] was also considered to draw the final lines of the car body. Since at the time production of the 501 began the Munich plant was not yet in optimal condition for a sufficient production pace, the production work was largely entrusted to the Baur coachworks in Stuttgart, which made the bodies, which were then sent back to Munich to be mounted on the chassis made by Alfred Böning along with the engine, mechanics and the fuel tank, which was mounted in a particularly shock-protected position that proved to be particularly robust. The interior was restrained, at times even rather bare, especially considering that one was dealing with a high-end car, but at the same time elegant. Space on board was plentiful even for six people. The steering was characterized by remarkable precision, given by the solution, adopted by BMW engineers.The model we offer here is a first series produced in 1954. The sales contract (original) tells that in 1957 Mr. Pieter Hoffmann sold it to Mrs. Maria Crespi who imported the car to Italy. Only 22,987 km driven, very good conservative interior condition, only one exterior paint refresh preserving the original interior parts. Mechanically in perfect condition with a straight-6 engine with ZF manual transmission.
