Clipper47: The BMW 501 was introduced in April 1951 at the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung in Frankfurt as you have stated. However there was only 501 prototype at that show. Actual production of the 501 didn't start until the fall of 1952. Total production of the 501 between 1952 and 1953 was 1,706. The selling price in 1952 was 15,150 Deutschmarks around $3600 US dollars. When sold in the USA price was about $4500.00

The point I was trying to make is that because BMW produced quality autos some seven years after WWII sure as heck didn't keep them in business.
