Exterior
The whole car was just stunning and chaining everybody’s eyes. Everyone was delighted – a large hood, cozy interior, a small stern, a little elongated lines on the sides, and diligently plastic rounding gave the car the appearance of a work of art.

Interior
Despite its rather small price, the BMW 507 roadster salon was not famous for its unnecessary devices. A large speedometer and a speed sensor can be singled out. On the dashboard you can see the clock. The speedometer had a layout up to 240 km/h. The armchairs were mounted quite low, and the trisspitz wheel, the rim of which is made of wood, clearly fit under the interior of the German.

The engine was made of aluminum and worked with a couple of carburetors. The torque was transmitted to the rear wheels by a 4-speed manual transmission.
