Only 252 were built. BMW lost money on each 507 built.
Originally it was intended to sell the 507 in US for $5,000.
The final price tag went up to $10,500. It almost drove BMW to bankruptcy.
The body was almost entirely hand-formed of aluminum, and no two models were exactly the same.
Many cars were sold with an optional hand-fabricated removable hardtop.
Because of the car-to-car differences, each hardtop fits only the car for which it was made.
Powered by a aluminum alloy BMW OHV V8.
