BMW made the Isetta its own. They redesigned the powerplant around a more reliable BMW one-cylinder, four-stroke, 247 cc motorcycle engine making 13 hp. Although the major elements of the Italian design remained intact, BMW re-engineered much of the car, so much so that none of the parts between a BMW Isetta Moto Coupe and an Iso Isetta are interchangeable. The first BMW Isetta appeared in April, 1955.

The 507 shared the frame of the 503, shortened from 2835 mm (111.6 in) to 2479 mm (97.6 in). Overall length was 4835 mm (172.6 in), and overall height was a low 1257 mm (49.5 in). Curb weight was about 1,485 kg (2,835 lb). The body was hand-formed of aluminum, and no two models were exactly the same.
Front suspension was parallel double wishbones, with torsion bar springs and an anti-roll bar. Rear suspension had a live axle, also sprung by torsion bars, and located by a Panhard rod and a central, transverse A-arm to control acceleration and braking forces. Brakes were Alfin drum brakes of 284.5 mm (11.2 in) diameter, and power brakes were optional. Late-model 507s had front disc brakes.
The engine was the aluminum alloy BMW OHV V-8, of 3.2 L (195.8 in³) displacement, with pushrod-operated overhead valves. It had two Solex Zenith 32NDIX two-barrel carburetors. It rated 150 hp (111.9 kW) DIN, with 160 hp (119.4 kW) optional. It was mated to a four-speed manual transmission with various rear-end ratios optional. It was capable of 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in about 10 seconds, with a top speed of about 125 mph (200 km/h) depending on gearing.

BMW 502 V8 (1954 - 1955) Description & History:
BMW launched the 502 sedan version at the 1954 Geneva Motor Show,
aiming to create a sportier variant of the previous 501 model. Despite
sharing its chassis and bodywork with the 501, this new sedan model was
initially fitted with an innovative 2.6L V8 engine (built out of
lightweight components) delivering 100 hp. Later on, a 3.2L variant of
this V8 unit was introduced as an option, setting a new output standard
of 120 mph. Car's chassis was more robust and offered better ratings in
terms of front/side collision, while the fuel tank was positioned in
such a way that it minimized the danger of an explosion in case of an
accident. Other differences to the 501 model were the exterior chrome
trims and interior design.
