"An older bodywork restoration that has held up well, and the car runs perfectly fine. However, the original interior with signs of wear remains untouched and needs attention."

Description

The car was purchased by the current owner in 1990 and was in need of renovation. It was disassembled, and renovation began with rust repairs and painting. Then it remained unassembled in the owner's heated garage until last year when a good friend transported it to his workshop.

He has assembled and gone through the mechanical aspects and ensured that it passed inspection.

What remains is to renovate the interior.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car runs smoothly and has recently undergone a mechanical inspection and preparation for startup and inspection. The brakes have been replaced with new ones at the front, along with a new master brake cylinder and refurbished wheel cylinders. Additionally, there's a new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder. A new water pump, spark plugs, oil filter, and oil have been installed. The radiator and hoses have been refurbished, along with the coolant.

  • Interior condition:

    The worn original interior needs refurbishment, although the headliner is in good condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car was dismantled and painted over 30 years ago and has since been stored disassembled in a warm garage. The paint is in very good condition and has no damage. Chrome and trims are in good condition with few signs of use. New tires mounted on original wheels that need painting.

  • General condition:

    A fantastic car, runs like a dream, and provides comfortable rides. After renovating the interior, you'll have a sought-after enthusiast car in top condition.

Facts about the model

BMW's response to Jaguar and Mercedes, the 502 was the full-sized and luxurious option from BMW featuring a 3.2-liter aluminum V8 engine producing 120 horsepower. When the car was introduced, American manufacturers were very curious, and the engine is said to have served as the prototype for what later became Buick's well-known eight-cylinder engine, which eventually found its way into, among others, Rover vehicles. A total of 20,000 "Baroque Angels" were sold.

The beautiful BMW 502 shared many similarities with the 501 but differed significantly in one aspect: the small aluminum V8 engine instead of the weak six-cylinder. When the 502 was presented at the International Motor Show in Geneva in 1954, BMW had already started production two years earlier with its first post-war model, the 501. The technology was derived from the 326 but modernized with torsion bar suspension. With its beautiful, voluptuous shapes, it soon earned the nickname "Baroque Angel" – a moniker that carried over to the 502, which received a larger rear window and more chrome in terms of bodywork. In addition to the regular four-door model, the "Baroque Angel" was available with both open and closed two-door bodies from the German coachbuilder Baur.
