BMW 507 Coupé (1956)
Still the grandfather of modern sport coupés and roadsters, the 507 sits easily at the top of the most beautiful and graceful artforms in any media.
Very few were made, making these incredibly rare and expensive as a human soul.

BMW M1 (1978)
The M1 probably doesn’t recognize digital cameras of today. He looks at them, pointed towards its sharp angles and rough but delicate edges, and quietly asks himself the traditional “what kind of sorcery is this?”
The M1 is stuck in its own era. Not because it didn’t want to grow up, but simply because it never felt the need to. It never had to.
So he kindly poses to the magic boxes of witchcraft which resemble film cameras and poses. And then, 3 seconds later you review your own photo on the camera’s LCD and think “Uau, dear God. This car still looks absolutely stunning”.

BMW 3 Series Convertible E30 (1985)
BMW’s official attempt at creating a convertible design for the E30 after the Baur versions. A better way to listen to the 6-cylinder engine and mess your girl’s hair up.

BMW 502 V8 Super (1956)
Post-war luxury. Near 13.000 were built and I have no idea what happened to these.
