A 1957 BMW 507 was the undisputed star of the 2025 Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. The celebrated German roadster won the prestigious Coppa d’Oro, the event’s most coveted prize, awarded directly by the public.
The car was presented in the concours by American collector Dirk de Groen. Belonging to the first series of the 507, it was originally delivered in Rome—a detail that further enhances its historical value and special appeal for Italian enthusiasts.
With its graceful and refined lines penned by Albrecht von Goertz, the 507 captivated visitors gathered on the shores of Lake Como, earning yet another accolade in its career as an icon. Its timeless elegance, combined with an impeccable restoration, made the difference in a competition of the highest level.
Held from May 23 to 26, 2025, in the traditional setting of Villa d’Este, the concours hosted dozens of historic automobiles from around the world. Among them, the 507 stood out for its perfect balance of history, design, and authenticity.
Once again, Villa d’Este has confirmed itself not only as one of the most prestigious stages in the world of classic motoring, but also as a unique event where the passion and taste of the public truly matter.
