As global economies looked to rebuild after World War II,
automotive manufacturers vied to develop new ideas to reignite
sales. BMW eyed the high-end market as a viable solution, in part
influenced by Max Hoffman. As a result, the BMW 503 became the
manufacturer's first purpose-designed post-war coupe, also made in
cabriolet form. The 503 was positioned as an opulent grand tourer
and was built alongside the 507 Roadster. With its welded tubular
frame construction, aluminum panels, and alloy V-8 engine, the 503
quickly proved very expensive to build, with just 273 Coupes
ultimately produced. An elegant and capable grand tourer, now
highly coveted among collectors.
