AI Listing Summary
This 1957 BMW 507 Series II Roadster, chassis 70059, is a numbers-matching example with a fascinating history. Delivered new to Venezuela and later stored for over four decades, it retains many original components and its factory Silberblau paint in various areas. The car is now offered for the first time since the Carter administration, presenting a unique opportunity for preservation or full restoration.
Condition
6
The car has been stored for over 40 years, retaining much of its original Silberblau paint in the hardtop, engine bay, door jambs, and floors. While the exterior has been repainted in Pontiac Bright Blue Metallic, the interior shows a rich, lived-in feel from sparing use over 65 years. Rare, original components like the Behr radiator and Blaupunkt Köln radio are present, along with a largely complete toolkit and owner's handbook. Having been brought out of storage and running under its own power, it presents well for its age and originality, though it does not have perfect paint.

Indeed, a measure of the 507's iconic significance may be discerned from BMW's 're-introduction' of the model, after a gap of 40 years, in the form of the Z8 roadster.
In an age when it has become de rigeur for heritage-conscious motor manufacturers to incorporate styling cues from landmark models into their latest offerings, few have ventured as far as BMW in paying homage to a recognized Classic.
