BMW 502 V8 Sedan “Barockengel” – 1956

The BMW 502 V8 Sedan, also known as the iconic “Barockengel”, represents the pinnacle of BMW’s luxury sedans from the 1950s. Built between 1954 and 1958, this model combined elegance, spacious interiors, and a powerful V8 engine, making it a true showcase of German craftsmanship and style.

This particular example was restored in the 1990s and remains in a solid and tidy condition. Finished in cream/white with a blue interior, it beautifully highlights the classic and stately character of the Barockengel. The car requires work, time, and care, but provides a strong and healthy foundation for enthusiasts wishing to further refine this classic BMW.

The car had one owner over three decades and comes with all original workshop manuals and instruction booklets, ensuring complete documentation and provenance. The interior is well maintained, complementing the solid chassis as an excellent starting point for further restoration or everyday enjoyment.

With its timeless design, powerful V8, and rare condition, this BMW 502 V8 Barockengel is a vehicle that not only reflects BMW’s history but also offers the potential to shine once again – a classic sedan full of character and possibilities for the discerning collector.
