The BMW 507 TS, or "Touring Sport," was
the brainchild of BMW importer Max Hoffman, who in 1954 persuaded
the BMW management to produce a roadster version of the BMW 501 and
BMW 502 saloons that could compete with Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz
sports cars Intended to revive BMW's sporting image, the 507 instead took BMW to the edge of bankruptcy -- the company's losses for 1959 were DM 15 million. The company lost money on each 507 built, and production was terminated in late 1959. Only 252 were built |
