BMW 502 Super V8 3.2 — 1959

• Zustand technisch

  The machine hums steadily at a working temperature of 100 degrees with a noticeable V8 rumble from a custom-made stainless system that a previous owner had installed. A new exhaust system to the original specification is stored in the garage and is included. The engine, with its two renovated two-port downdraft carburetors, needs just the right working temperature to run smoothly, and the four idle jets must be correctly adjusted to share the fuel. It's a tuning matter to keep an eye on. An electronic ignition system and an electric fuel pump (the standard mechanical one remains with only a pass-through function, and the diaphragm is bypassed) ensure a good spark and the correct fuel pressure. The four-speed gearbox with steering column shifting is relatively easy to handle.

• Zustand Interieur

  The interior is in a nice and fresh original condition, with only a small wear tear on the driver's seat cushion. The owner has placed classic car rugs on the front seats to protect the upholstery from further wear. The headliner is clean and tidy, and the instrument panel's wood veneer is without cracks or crazing. A beautiful original Blaupunkt AM-radio with speakers, but they are non-functional. Also, note the easily removable and cleanable air filters next to the radiator for fresh air into the cabin.

• Zustand Exterieur

  Bodywork renovated with new two-tone paint, which, according to information, was available as an option, at least in the German market. New tires with an elegant thin white stripe and beautiful rims with original hubcaps. The rearview mirrors originally sat on the front fenders but were replaced at some point with the well-known blue-tinted door mirrors from Volvo's late sixties and early seventies. The older license plates seen in the pictures before the renovation are still available and are included.

• Zustand gesamt

  A pleasant and well-restored representative of the model with a distinctly upscale appearance. Nice and intriguing documentation along with a substantial spare parts package.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
