BMW 503 Coupe 1958
General description :
Der betont konservativ gestaltete BMW 503 mit Aluminium-Karosserie und elektrischen Fensterhebern wurde, genau wie der viel auffälligere BMW 507, auf der IAA 1955 vorgestellt. Gedacht war das damals teuerste Fahrzeug von BMW als eleganter Reisesportwagen. Der hausintern begonnene Entwurf wurde von Albrecht Graf Görtz - dem Designer des BMW 507 - lediglich fertiggestellt. Auffällig war die extrem lange Motorhaube, unter der ein 3,2-Liter V8 mit 140 PS saß. Er stammte vom 502-Motor ab, nahm aber bereits die Leistungssteigerung vorweg, die dem "Barockengel" erst später zugute kam. Der BMW 503 wurde sowohl als Coupe (273) als auch als viersitziges Cabrio (139) angeboten - wobei die offene Version bereits über ein elektrisch betätigtes Verdeck verfügte. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit des noblen, schweren Gleiters lag bei 190 km/h. Das Luxusfahrzeug kostete rund 30.000,-- Mark, was damals 2 kleine Einfamilienhäuser incl. Grundstück wert waren.
Der hier von uns angebotene BMW 503 stammt aus der Serie I und wurde vor rund 10 Jahren von seinem damaligen Besitzer komplett restauriert. Lt. beiliegendem Gutachten nach dem Classic Data System wird dem Wagen die Zustandsnote 2 attestiert. Im Jahr 2017 wurde von BMW der Motor komplett revidiert (Rechnung liegt bei). Der BMW 503 ist heute viel seltener als der legendäre BMW 507, ein außergewönlich schöner Reisewagen mit fantastischen Fahrleistungen und hohem potenziellen Wertzuwachs.

About BMW

Bayerische Motoren Werke, commonly known as BMW, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1916. Initially established as an aircraft-engine manufacturer during World War I, BMW faced restrictions on aircraft production after the war. In response, the company shifted its focus to motorcycle production in 1923, marking the beginning of its involvement in the automotive industry. Subsequently, BMW entered the world of automobiles in 1928 by producing the DIXI, essentially a licensed version of the Austin 7 from the Austin Motor Company.
In the 1930s, BMW began to establish itself as a manufacturer of elegant and high-performance vehicles. One notable model from this era is the BMW 327, introduced in 1937. The 327 was available as both a coupe and a cabriolet, showcasing the brand's commitment to luxury and style. Additionally, BMW achieved success in sports car racing during this period, particularly with the BMW 328. The 328, which debuted in 1936, became renowned for its performance and aerodynamics. BMW campaigned the 328 in various racing events, including the prestigious Mille Miglia, where the company introduced several aerodynamic specials.
The post-war era proved challenging for BMW, and the company faced financial difficulties that nearly led to bankruptcy. However, BMW managed to recover and rebuild, eventually becoming one of the leading premium automotive brands globally.
As the 1960s unfolded, BMW further solidified its reputation for producing sports-oriented and luxurious vehicles. In 1968, the BMW 2002 was introduced, marking the birth of the "New Class" of compact, sporty sedans. The 2002 gained popularity for its agile handling and performance, laying the foundation for BMW's sporty image.
Moving into the 1970s, BMW expanded its lineup with the introduction of the E9 platform, which included the iconic BMW 3.0 CS coupe. The E9 series showcased BMW's commitment to blending performance and luxury. In 1972, the M1, BMW's first mid-engined sports car, made its debut. The M1 was initially developed as a racing car but later became a road-going model. The M1 laid the groundwork for BMW's high-performance M series.
In the late 1970s, the BMW E24 6 Series was introduced, offering a combination of luxury and performance. The 6 Series included models like the 630CS, 633CSi, and 635CSi, becoming a symbol of sophistication and driving pleasure.
Through these milestones and a commitment to innovation and performance, BMW has evolved into a powerhouse in the automotive industry, maintaining its status as one of the leading premium brands worldwide.
