The BMW 507 is a two-seat convertible produced by BMW from 1956 to 1959. Designed by Count Albrecht von Goertz, the 507 was conceived by American BMW importer Max Hoffman as a roadster version of the 501 and 502 models. Initially intended to be exported to the United States at a rate of thousands per year, the 507 was a massive failure for BMW, with the company losing money with every 507 built; this got so bad that BMW was on the verge of bankruptcy, having lost DM 15 million by the end of production in 1959. 252 were produced.
