Engines: 6 cylinders series engine
Special productions with V8 engine. |
| As a result of the extension of the drilling of 74 to 87 mm
an increase in output of 20 HP and a further increase of the anyway
already strong torque arose. |
| Thus the torque-strong eight-cylinder engine carried 120 HP
out with 4800 rpm and penetrated due to its outstanding road
performances and the highest comfort into a fahrzeugklasse, which was
reserved in Germany sometimes only the Mercedes Benz 300 b. |
| In the test it is called 502,3.2 litres, "one this car only
correctly became acquainted with, can one not quite understand, why it
does not populate the roads in far larger number of items". |
The production numbers from 1955 to 1961 prove this:
in this period the BMW V8 rolled in the 3.2 litres 120 HP version only 2,582 times from the workshops, which means that in this six-year period on the average per
year only approx. 430 pieces with that 120 HP strong V8 were sold. |
| |
| The BMW 502 - 3.2 litres - in September 1955 on the IAA in
Frankfurt presented - differed from capacity-weaker 502 the model only
by the engine, not however by the configuration. |
| The BMW of 502, 3.2 litres corresponded from the rich
configuration exactly to that 502 with 2,6 litres, had however, like
the type designation already displays, one on 3168 cm drilled out
engine under the hood. |
| For DM 22,000, - - expensive 300er Mercedes litre six
cylinder engine 125 HP carried out, was however substantially more
phlegmatischer as the BMW, offered for it again however a higher
Repaesentationswert with its 3. |
| Here 1957 already reflect itself the fate of the entire V8
series until 1965: everywhere one praises and one admires, but it is
hardly bought. |
