    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    yes exactly this one. however i regret to say information there do not satisfy me fully, there is nothing said about the historical significance of the engine, let alone the fact that it was first used in BMW 502.

    dydzi and Wouter, thank you for the link and attached file. By the way, the BMW 507 is a stunningly beautiful car and it's V8 engine would make the car very interesting to drive.
