Description
The engine has been dismantled, and although the associated parts are included (see photos), they are in poor condition.
The previous owner also owned the other BMW 501 listed in this auction. It was likely intended that both cars would be restored, but unfortunately, the project was never completed.
Photography was difficult due to low light and limited space, but both vehicles are now moved outdoors to facilitate transport and loading. A considerable amount of older documentation accompanies the car, and it remains registered in Sweden.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
No engine is currently installed, though worn and corroded engine parts are included. The engine bay appears solid, but it’s unclear if the tires hold air, so the car will need to be winched onto a trailer.
The original key for the ignition lock is unfortunately missing, but another ignition lock has been installed, and a key is available for it. However, the key for the door locks is original. -
Interior condition
Interior is complete and in fairly good condition, with the seats, headliner, and dashboard instrumentation all remaining intact.
-
Exterior condition
Bodywork is complete with minimal signs of rust or dents, while the dusty paint retains a charming patina. The bootspace appears solid and clean, and features a number of original lights and details. The underbody does show evidence of older welding and repairs.
-
General condition
Aside from the missing engine, the car is otherwise complete and offers significant potential for the right buyer—selling its parts alone could turn a profit. Ideally, purchasing both cars would enable you to build one solid, fully restored car.

Auction information
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.
